Description

PES 2012 continues Konami’s determination to listen to its fanbase and make key improvements to the aspects the audience demands. Thus, the focus for PES 2012 is to ensure the highest level of playability, challenge and realism for the game, whilst also improving the level of control offered to users. Fundamental changes to all areas of its AI have been made following user feedback. Similarly, teamwork is central to how the game moves and feels, enabling fans to replicate anything they would see in a real match.

Active AI: PES 2012 strives to recreate the movement and team ethic of real football, and Active AI plays a vital role in this. Players will no longer flock to a ball, but will make intelligent runs to create space and draw markers, while others will make themselves available, instigate runs, and visibly call for the ball. In the box, support players will make diagonal decoy runs, full backs will overlap on the wings and midfielders will provide support from behind the ball. The new Active AI routines ensure the flow of a match is more natural, with specific routines for both attack and defence. Hold-up play implemented last year has been improved for easier control with more effectiveness. Defending as a unit plays a key role, and players now hold a tight line, check on the distance between each other, track back as a unit, and fill in for each other. As individuals they also make better decisions to close space, block and tackle.

Jostling: Physicality is a key component in PES 2012, with player strength one of their key individual attributes, and having a vital effect on how they can use their strength to win the ball in a one-on-one situation. Players now fall depending on how they are challenged, with more realistic animations used to show the challenges between two jostling players.

Graphics: Several aspects of the game have enjoyed a huge overhaul. Player facial expression is now much richer and the lighting effects are more natural, while new cameras show off the huge variety of pitch-side movement, with more detail on and around the game than ever before.

Off The Ball Control: Equally key to opening up PES 2012 is the ability to highlight any player at any time. A new system has been implemented, allowing users to switch players with ease. In defence, the right stick is now used to select any outfield player, while set pieces are also enhanced through its use. Goal kicks, corners, free kicks and throw-ins now let the user quickly take control of any player off the ball, enabling clever runs which create space for an attack.

Referee AI: Referees are also crucial to general game flow and their AI has been greatly enhanced to ensure fewer interruptions to play. Decisions are improved, and advantage is played much more regularly in offside and free kick scenarios. As such, refs will only intervene when truly necessary, but they will show cards if necessary once play has broken down.

Pass Support: Accessed through the new personal player settings, Pass Support allows users to determine the level of AI assistance when passing the ball. Players can opt for one of five settings from full support, right up to full veteran setting which switches off all assistance so that the direction, weight and speed of every pass is at their disposal.

PES 2012, Amazing

From last years PES it has come a long way, A better feel for the game, Have improved on the off the ball control, and have made the computer a lot harder to play against. Nothing wrong with a challenge. I bet in a couple of years PES will be the Number 1 football game.

PES 2012 REVIEW

In PES 2012: Pro Evolution Soccer, the passing system is fantastic as compared to last year's edition, as in the sense that I don't have to wait for my player to receive the ball before making my next pass. There is still some errors in the referees decisions sometimes, but isn't that always the case? The player animation is much better than last years, and player movements have also been greatly improved. The boost of speed in the game is what I enjoy most, and it's what makes me look out for PES every time. Very impressed.

Best football game!!!

Marvellous!! They brought back the best of PES 2011, but additionally created a way to use the ancient pass system, just like PES 2010! So, now we can say that the game is PERFECT! Enjoy it!

epic game

At first, i thought PES 2012 was going to be very similar to PES 2011, and boy was i wrong! PES 2012 brings a new era to the PES series by making improvements throughout every mode of the game. The AI provide the most realistic experience of the football franchise to date as-well as he impressive gameplay. Excluding PES 6, PES 2012 finally brings back the PES series we all loved, and hopefully, due to the overhaul of the game, it can and will attract audiences from the FIFA series.

PES 2012

Great Game, it's not as easy as it was to play against the console which is based on a sophisticated intelligence. You have to plan and think about your strategies. you get the Champions league and UEFA cup competitions, Online gaming is fun and Graphics are great too. Better Than FIFA!

Feels like PES 6

The new Pro Evolution Soccer, in all honesty, feels like one of the older versions, which is not a good thing really. It is definitely not a football simulation, but at the same time, it is not too arcade-ish either. It feels easy to play whilst playing at a frantic pace. The character modelling is the best I have seen, and there are some mad ways to score goals but it's all beautiful non the less. Fun is definitely what the Pro Evolution series is all about.

PES2012 - big improvement

After playing Fifa 2012 the week before I received PES 2012 and I was initially very impressed. I have been a strict a loyal Pro fan since the beginning but PES 2011 was disappointing to say the least, however the new offering has completely improved in almost every way. The most important change being the "bug" where no matter who you had on the ball sprinting he would ALWAYS get caught by a defender. Fixing this issue has made the game immensely more enjoyable and in my opinion just edges Fifa in terms of gameplay and realism. Fifa fans will always have bragging rights about licensing but true ballers know that Pro is the way forward.
