None of these newer versions come close to old PS1 and PS2 versions of Winning Eleven series.

I have the same problem. think it's toned down a bit to force you use the "deft touch" (which sucks btw) in tight spaces. players take ages to accelerate into a simple run let alone full speed. sometimes in crowded midfield, players just bump into each other and take way too long to react, like they got hit by a truck and computer keeps switching your player as soon as ball gets inches away from the play.
AI abusing the first post cross, and keepers deflecting the ball into their own net far too many times.
whatever tweaks they made to the demo, managed to fuck the game up yet again.

Haven't played yet, but PES has been doing this for the last couple of generations. Shouldn't try to do anything like FIFA in terms of gameplay, that was never the appeal of PES.
People should also top freaking out, I remember virtually breaking down first playing PES 2013, with the defensive system and shooting. After a couple of weeks it all came naturally, months down the line you are still trying to master it.
Those who play FIFA should not even bother, you can't just pick up PES and play, not for several releases now.

Its not about freaking out, getting a diferent feel and experience with every PES is a given, but I never gone anything beyond being "oh wtf is this, wait I'll adjust" and they tend to become awesome quite quickly. But this, two days (plus few demo sessions before), and its truly just offputting for me. Dont see how I will like this.
After playing the game a bit longer, I'm getting used to this little touches and dealing with high pressure. It's still extremely difficult to do sharp/quick turns while skills have become easier and very effective. Not a fan of that in particular. Also cursor changing is a nightmare in defending especially playing co-op.
Still think they shouldnt have messed around too much with the demo. Even as an earlier build , gameplay was more balanced in general and had better movements,keepers.

PES 2014
Take for example Kyle Walker in PES 2013:
Likewise Rafael (United) looks an absolute mess for PES 2014:
And him in PES 2013:
So it's hilarious now, and typically amateurish from Konami, but with a couple of DLCs there won't be these stupid faces. At Juve even Lichtsteiner, Asamoah, Vucinic, Llorente etc don't have real faces lol. The ones that do are superb, however. The internal editor is also extremely advanced now, so any player can be made photo realistic.
Been playing the game for the last couple of days. I see what you are saying, Osman, about the game play. I'm picking it up though, and it does remind me of PES 2013 how I thought I would never get used to it. Some things really do seem improved. Goalkeepers are much better, sliding tackles are awesome, and my main gripe headers has been addressed. I'm just not sure about the advanced shooting for now.
Yeah, but they aren't at all bothered. Few play it offline, and they release DLCs all the time throughout the season with various kit and boot updates. The DLCs are essentially part of the game, you can't just buy and play a finished PES any more.
When a PES comes out you had best not bother trying to start a ML or any online mode because the first couple of weeks are spent fixing online bugs, DLC errors and the like. There was a fricking DLC on release which so far hasn't even worked for me (just has a few updated kits and new footballs). It takes 90 minutes to download (wtf?) and then crashes once finished. This is on Xbox. On PS3 apparently it downloads in 5 mins with no problems. That sort of thing.
I just use this time to get used to playing the game, and for people to create good option files.

Konami are blaming Microsoft, which is not the first time. Makes sense if it works on PS3. Microsoft have severe licensing restrictions which has always restricted this game...
