This is in direct contrast to PES 2017 where players would intercept passes all the time, perhaps too often. Secondly, when you do slightly misplace a pass the defender doesn’t intercept it as much as they should. Firstly you can blindly pass it forward and more often than not your player will end up in possession. (We have been playing with pass support on the default of 1). There is a balance to this though, and at the moment passing borders on the side of being too easy. If passing is your go to strategy in a football game then you’ll enjoy PES 2018.

The best thing about the passing in PES 2018 is that you can play some great football. We’ve already discussed the speed of the passing above. A good way to differentiate could be to increase the speed of the pass when the power gauge is full/close to full. There are occasions when a slowly paced ball is appropriate but right now the majority of passes are too slow. This tends to come when the ball is passed, specifically how slowly it moves. However, there are times where the game suffers as a result. This is a brilliant addition because it adds skill, excitement and realism. You can now come to an almost stand still with the winger and draw the tackle in. Overall this is a welcome change as it has made the game play more realistic. Much has been made of the game speed in comparison to previous versions of PES. With that being said we aim to be as critical as possible whilst remaining fair.
PES 2018 BETA FULL
We could write a gameplay review focusing on what PES 2018 does well but that doesn’t help improve the game ahead of the full release.

However, there are elements of the gameplay that need adjusting, some of which are more glaring than others. Further details of the beta can be found here: PES 2018 Online Beta GameplayĮven in its unfinished state the PES 2018 Online Beta is an improvement on PES 2017, which says a lot.
PES 2018 BETA CODE
The significance of this is it is still in development and the code may change multiple times before it is released in its final form. The gameplay itself is the same as what was showcased at E3. It has been suggested the demo will include more teams, etc. The reason it is so restricted with options is because Konami have released it to test online in order to improve it ahead of the release. Furthermore, Brazil and France are the only playable teams. The online beta is playable in two modes – standard match and 3v3 co-op. For many PES fans it was their first chance to be able to play PES 2018 for themselves. The much anticipated PES 2018 Online Beta was released on 20th July. We’ll see whether that changes for PES 2018 (probably not).What’s Included in the PES 2018 Online Beta?
PES 2018 BETA PC
Historically, the PC demo has appeared much later. This online testing is separate from the annual PES demo, which will still be coming later in the year (closer to the September release date). Sadly, it seems that commitment has not extended to including this platform in beta tests.
PES 2018 BETA PS3
That’s a step forward from the PC version being a weird PS3 hybrid, at least. Konami have previously said that PES 2018 will actually get a version comparable to the PS4/Xbox One releases on PC this year.

That’s usually the stated reason for withholding these things. If I had to guess, I’d say Konami are paranoid about people digging through the files on PC. The intent behind the beta seems to be testing online functionality, which you’d imagine would be worth testing on the PC version too. It’s a console only affair, so the PC is left out. Konami announced that an online beta session for PES 2018 will run for ten days from 20 July, but won’t be available on PC.
