[QUOTE="toup, post: 34233"] Well I managed to sneak off early, so just had about an hour of gameplay on xbox PES5... Here are some first impressions: Graphics: No radical overhaul but it didn't really need them, it's all a little bit more crisp and it's very, very smooth - no slowdown at all as yet. A lot of very good player likenesses but not had too much of a look at everyone yet. Licensed kits look very good, unlicensed ones made to look a bit plain when next to them, but I'm going to download an option file to fix thet as soon as one is released... Sound: Again, only an hour so not much of a chance to find out, but noticed a few club-specific songs which is always a nice touch. Atmospheric as usual and not bored of the commentary...yet Gameplay: The bit you've all been waiting for! As you may have heard it's really 'different' this year. My first observation was that it's a lot slower than last year, but that actually works very well - it feels that little bit more solid and like you're actually controlling a real person. This is added to by the player collisions and contact which all feel very good, especially when conteasting a header etc (as a side note, I found heading very frustrating in PES 4 and often lost out to much smaller guys - this has really improved and now who you are controlling has a real bearing on it). The ball physics have also had a slight tweak, and having played the PC demo for a while, i now really appreciate the improvement of this - crosses whip in a little more realistically and delicate through balls can really spin right into the path of an attacker, it all feels very real. I found last year's game felt a little too 'slick' but the slight slowdown in pace (but still very smooth gameplay) really helps to create a very realistic football experience. The AI, particularly defending, has been improved also and the computer keeps possession and defends very competently. It's hard to pick out any one major improvement, but this game really does seem a lot better than the last one to me. With regard to this year's fifa (which I also own and enjoy a lot more than previous versions), I think Pro Evo is still a cut above, although the gap is closing. To sum up, I do think this will be a game that some will dislike - it is a lot harder and more realistic than previous games and that may put some off. For the rest of us though, this is by far and away the most realistic football game on the market and I think it will only improve with more play... I know what I'm off to do now... PS I know some people wanted to know about master league... only had a quick look and it all appears fairly similar, but then it was such a good mode before I don't know what people expected/wanted? One thing I will say is that signing players will be very important as the differences due to stats and physical attributes is noticeable (eg.
