Snoop, if you're getting problems with both games, it's obviously your connection. Find out how to open up the ports on your router and open up the XBOX Live ports fully (look on Google to find out what they are).
Online test results: WHAT A GAME!!
Just played with JayD and the game is fantastic. Scraped a stuffy penalty within a few minutes, he hit back instantly. Managed a goal later on, pegged back instantly. If you know how to pass the ball around, like he does, then you can make it very hard for your opposition. WHAT A GAME!!
Unfortunately I think all of the goals (bar the penalty and the penalty shootout at the end) could have been saved by the goalkeeper. It really is a worry, I hope they've got a patch in development for that. They seem great with shots wide on either side, but if it's quite close to them they seem to like collapsing onto their knees or just watching it go in.
But this is more fun than I've ever had with PES online, I think. Very impressed. As JayD said above, it's like they're in the room. Disappointed that the voice option doesn't seem to be there though, I think JayD would have approved of hearing "BASTARD" in a scouse accent every time he won the ball...
Bumperman, to answer your questions... I've not seen any change in weather yet, all I see is day or night. The knock-ahead stick (seeing as it's not really a trick-stick any more) is the same as in the demo, but if you hold down RB then you get fantastic close control, not featured in the demo. Lastly, the grass looks totally different in each stadium. At Anfield it's not fancy, it's just grass; at Wembley, it's crop circles. In other stadiums, it's stripes, in foreign stadiums, some are chequered.
