Last but certainly not least, the fake shot has been reworked with long-time fans of the series noticing that the fake shot is no longer used by pressing a combination of the shoot and cross buttons, and instead involves usage of the RB/R1 button to pull off. Being pressure sensitive, the PS5 right trigger (RT) can be depressed at different pressure points to emulate walking, jogging, and sprinting - with the sensitivity customizable within the options. While some might say it’s another attempt to emulate FIFA, it’s probably just aimed at getting the most from the new PS5 DualSense controller haptics. As Konami further embraces esports, this seems like a conscious decision to appease those in the community who like little to no assistance when defending.Īnother massive change is the move away from the R1/RB button being mapped to sprint. At least for this beta, Konami has moved away from “second-man pressure” by perhaps following in FIFA’s steps when those developers implemented “Tactical Defending” some years back and made it the default way to play defense online. Controlsīesides the camera and visuals, the controls are the first thing that stick out to me.

Why didn’t the developers just stick with last year’s new default camera? I have no idea, but overall it isn’t too much of a concern as we know there will always be options with the full release. These quick pans happen all over the pitch and can be a bit disorienting. Perfectly fine at times, the camera will also pan in at times mainly when the ball is towards the bottom of the screen - only to zoom out seconds later. Whoever came up with the idea to use the default camera for this beta needs a yellow card - at bare minimum. What I Don’t Like – PES 2022 Beta Impressions The Camera As society slowly creeps back towards normalcy and the Euros/Copa America keep us busy, July 21 should be here before we know it. We’re still in the early stages when it comes to news about both FIFA and PES, but one tidbit that folks have picked up on has been the ad boards stating that news - perhaps in the form of a trailer - will be released on July 21. With an extremely stripped down beta, evidenced by the 6 GB size, PES 2022’s bare-bones beta has done what it set out to do. Once connected, the online performance has been smooth with little to no lag, even when faced up with connections worse off than mine. So far, and it could be a result of a smaller number of players, connecting to my opponents has been painless and rather quick. Throughout much of its existence, PES has always struggled online, both from a stability and performance point of view. Matchmaking Actually Worksįor all the breakdowns of the new Unreal Engine, graphics, and more, Konami has already accomplished its goal by releasing this beta, which was creating a stable online environment.

Seeing the players warm-up, the kits being draped in the locker room, the pitch being watered, and the team selection might get stale after a bit, but for now the feedback is almost all positive on this front. With a stripped down presentation package that often comes with demos, Konami still gave us a little preview of what the presentation package will look like in PES 2022. It goes to show that just because you don’t have the official league license, it doesn’t mean you can’t have good pre-match overlays or presentation. Hopefully the days of black screens showing up when the ball goes out of play are done. I particularly enjoy the goalkeepers tossing the ball up on goal kicks so that the ball position isn’t perfectly placed on the line. Whether it’s on the touchlines or out for goal kicks, it’s a nice little touch to see ball boys (confirmed on the PS5 version) toss the balls back to the players for throw-ins and goal kicks.

What I Like – PES 2022 Beta Impressions Cutscenes Have Been ReducedĪnother small little change Konami has implemented is the reduction of cutscenes when the ball goes out of play. Regardless, similar to PES 2018 where we had a beta before the demo, any chance we have to get our hands on the newest PES means that we’ll give our first PES 2022 beta impressions. While some fans are already jumping to conclusions, the vast majority of folks have been level-headed. While this beta is only 6 GBs in size, Konami released this with the sole intention of testing online matchmaking capability. Surprise! Seemingly out of the blue (although there were rumblings on Twitter), Konami dropped an online beta for PES 2022 under the guise of “New Football Game” a couple nights ago.
