Seems like a great game, looking forward to the OFFLINE version

Man, this reminds me why I stay away from online gaming. Lads using every last second of the many available to edit their team and formation, using all subs and pauses, head wrecking! Not to mention the rage quitters, ugh, people are horrible :P

Yeah, rage quitters are the worst. I refuse to do that, even if being beaten 5-0.

I can't play offline anymore though unless it's with 2 on a team in a competition. Just something about knowing you're playing another human mind online that makes it soooooo much better. And now that you can play 2v2 online I'll prob never be playing offline again!

I use the full time to edit my formation and tactics the first game I play because you can't save those tactics when you turn the beta off. The rage quitters are unbelievable though. It took me about 5/6 game to finish a match. Loving it so far though and it will be very difficult to get any use out of pes17 now for the next few weeks

Beta only available for 10 more days I think

But come then it will be (likely) 4 weeks until the release of the single player demo, and 6 weeks until the full game comes out!

Swings and roundabouts

And within that 4 week wait I'm getting married and going on my honeymoon for a week so I'm sure it'll seem even closer

Actually it seems to be saving the tactics now

johnpatrick81 · 21-07-2017 8:22pm

Another game another rage quitter... ugh if only this game didn't play so well! Might have to delete it to avoid temptation to play it...

brianregan09 · 22-07-2017 7:41am

can we download the beta on psn ?

Koolhanger · 22-07-2017 11:15am

Yep, you don't need PS Plus to play it either.

Video shows you where to find it on PS Store -

Can it be played in friendly 1 on 1, or only random players? Thanks.

BETA is just online testing. You can play 1v1 online on the BETA.

Random players selection is going to be in the full game. Not in this trial.

IncognitoMan · 22-07-2017 11:58pm

When the full game comes we should get a couple of people together to play the 3v3 online. It's good craic when there's a few playing it right but when you have the glory hogs all the time, it gets tiring.

Well you got me! Congrats in advance man

Really enjoying the beta, there's a few niggly issues with the gameplay but as Adam Bhatti said the beta's purely for online testing and the build that was playable after E3 was much better. Can't wait for the demo and the subsequent release now!

Here's a wee clip of one of my favourite (albeit direct) goals so far:

Only played a few games of the BETA and i'm already hooked. Really love the pacing of it - You can play a proper possession game and not be swarmed on with every pass.

Luckycharms_74 · 25-07-2017 10:54am

Played a few games last night online. I love it.
Can't wait for the release

J Mysterio · 25-07-2017 1:33pm

It's excellent. Can't wait.

Exclamation Marc · 25-07-2017 8:31pm

Having a crackin time with the beta. Some savage matches, some where it's a tight game with a last minute winner, others where it's a free for all.

Even though it's an older build I can't wait for the full game.

Yeah I hope too much isn't changed for the full release. I don't think I've ever seen a football game where the better side wins more. Sometimes (especially in Fifa) you can just feel when a game is going to screw you.

It's so much fun as well. Scored some really nice goals. Can't wait to get my hands on the full release.

Definitely all of this. Don't want to see too much change myself but at the same time I found the second player press (square) when defending to be infuriating at times, sometimes great defenders like Silva would end up running past attacking players.

However, I know an OP second player press can lead to lazy defending and all that, but if they strike a balance on that front for the full release I would be happy with the rest of the game as it is in the beta!

Koolhanger · 27-07-2017 8:46am

They increased the server capacity for the online co-op games. It's brilliant now! I tried a few last week and kept just disconnecting, it was terrible. But yesterday I played about 7 matches, so addictive. Definitely worth checking out if you've only played the 1v1 online games so far.

The rating system in online co-op seems to be really good as well. Very impressed.

ziggyman17 · 27-07-2017 6:34pm

loving the online co-op........... will be buying day 1...

Ruxjit · 27-07-2017 6:42pm

How are you's playing it?

Demo? Can you play online on the Demo?

How about Xbox?

So is it shaping up to be better than Pes 2017 in people's opinions? I haven't played the beta but 2017 is just amazing.

Much better. There's a better pace to the game, defending is tighter and player speed seems better balanced.

In saying that, the beta is an earlier build of the game so the finished product may be different.

I bought a PS4 because Xbox don't seem to be changing their stance on option files. I'm guessing it's to do with their EA access deal which includes FIFA of course.

Edit: Sorry, also meant to say no beta on Xbox.

There is a beta on Xbox One. I've been playing it a bit.

An annoying thing I find (same as last year), when a player on your team is on a yellow card, there's nothing (bar at the bottom of the screen s tiny yellow card) to make it obvious he's booked. The symbol above their head being yellow would be preferable. I've made a few challenges that I wouldn't have done if I knew I was on a booking.

Also, a signal on the screen for advantage play would be nice other than just the ref signalling.
