Product Details
The PES range has long been regarded as offering incredible realism and
control, but PES 2011 will reinvigorate the series with the most advanced raft
of gameplay additions, control options, and animations to meet the evolution of
real-life football. Central to its total freedom of play, PES 2011 introduces a
power bar for each player that allows the user to determine the exact strength
and placement of every pass and shot. Balls can now be spread absolutely
anywhere with utter precision, with long balls into space, short passes to feet
and intricate one-twos allowing the player to dictate play and control the tempo
of a match.
This freedom of play is also extended via new AI routines designed to place
every move and decision in the player's hands. No longer will assisted AI
intervene during matches; users will now need to sense and react to threats; and
passes will not automatically reach the nearest player. Instead, all-new
routines facilitate complete control both of the player and their chosen actions
in every respect to give the player sublime control over every movement.
Key to PES 2011's new approach is a specially-designed control system that
allows total control over every element of play. The triangulation of passes and
making space using clever runs becomes paramount, and build-up play is
everything. Likewise, dribbling and close control are tougher to master, and the
days of making streaking runs through the centre of the park are over, as PES
mirrors the real-life football.
The result is the most complete and realistic PES to date. PES 2011 delivers an
evolved experience that still has the key PES ethos of skill and realism at its
core.
PES 2011 features a myriad of additions, all designed to enhance the overall
experience. The game's difficulty level has been upped thanks to the greater
control on offer, while new camera angles showcase the game's stunning visuals
and animation. Likewise, in accordance with the strong wishes of the fan base,
both referees and goal keepers have been improved in both aesthetic and AI
terms, while an all-new commentary process has been implemented that offers a
better and less repetitive overview of the proceedings.
Features
Total Control: PES Productions has enhanced the 360-degree passing
ratio, offering unprecedented levels of control over every pass, shot, throw-in,
through ball and lofted through balls. This allows users to pass the ball into
space, and move their play with total freedom. Players must precisely weight
their passes and second-guess the runs of their team-mates and exploit their
movement. Players even can apply pressure on opponents to force them off the
ball.
Shot & Stamina Gauge: In addition to the generic power gauge, the Shot &
Stamina meter details the player's exact level of fitness. Constantly sprinting
will affect the player's movements and will have an adverse affect on his stats,
with passes going awry and a loss of pace.
New Defender AI: Defenders now hold their positions naturally, no longer
chasing any ball that enters their area - preferring to close down the attacker
and force them into a mistake.
Animation and Player Physics: PES Productions has totally reworked every
element of in-game animation. These additions will become clear before even
kick-off, with the players enjoying fluid, natural movements, with more
realistic acceleration and inertia than ever before. The physicality between
players is also improved, which was a priority requested in PES forums. Jostling
and blocking now looks stunning, while there is a larger variety of convincing
tackling styles. Ambient animation also adds immensely to the in-game
atmosphere, as players behave realistically when off the ball, and walk and run
with a variety of individual styles.
Speed of Play: The new level of control means that PES 2011 enjoys a more
considered pace of play, which varies dependent on situations. The game will
burst into life as counter-attacks come into play, but players can dictate the
pace via slow build up or exploiting available space to surge forward. It is
harder to make long runs from midfield, and successful play will depend on
making quick passes to make room.
Aesthetics: PES 2010 showcased the best likenesses in a football game,
and PES 2011 ups the ante further. Facial animation has been enhanced, but the
key advances are over 1000 all-new animations which have been recreated from the
ground up using over 100 hours of motion captured footage. Every aspect of
player movement has been reworked, with more organic runs, turns, throw-ins,
tackles, and interaction. The way players speed up and slow down is also more
natural, while replays display elements of motion blur that bring your saved
goals to vivid life.
Tactical and Strategy: The sheer number of options available in the PES
series has established it as a remarkably flexible simulation, allowing players
to stamp their playing style on each match. The PES Productions team has
implemented an all new 'Drag and Drop' mechanism that can be used in every
aspect of team management, not just substitutions or formation changes. These
settings are also animated to promote better understanding of the plays that
have been altered.
Feint settings: PES has always offered a wide range of subtle skills,
feints and turns, but PES 2011 allows users to map their favourite move
sequences to the right stick, making them more accessible than ever before.
Master League Online: Master League will offer an all-new challenge, as
users are invited to try their hand against other managers online. PES 2011 will
mark the online debut for its much-loved. Master League element, with players
bidding against each other for the world's best players, and attempting to build
a squad that can compete with the best against online peers all over the globe.
