While FIFA was evolving and improving every year, PES remained largely the same as the PS2 incarnations and did very little to take advantage of the new technology on offer. Things have steadily declined for the PES series ever since the move to the current generation of consoles. When you combine that bombshell with the glowing praise the game has received from most of the 800,000+ people who have purchased it, then Konami faces an uphill task to convert the masses back to its own football title Pro Evolution Soccer 2011. It's not been a good week for Konami after an announcement by Electronic Arts revealed that FIFA 11 has received the second biggest launch ever in the UK - making close to £30 million on all platforms in its first weekend on sale. Along with new AI routines for keepers and referees, commentary has been completely changed to try and avoid the repetition of old.Also available on: Xbox 360, Wii, PC, PS2, PSP, DS The back-end has been revisited too, with a ‘drag and drop’ mechanic implemented across the wide range of team management features. Over 100 hours of motion capture footage has been gathered throughout the development process. Tacking is also a lot more varied, as is player’s off-the-ball behaviour and stances. Feints, tricks and turns can also now be mapped to the right analogue stick.Īnimation and physics have also come in for a rework, with acceleration and inertia specifically said to be more realistic than ever with jostling and blocking playing a far bigger part. 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.”ĭribbling and close control are now also said to be far tougher to master, with Konami claiming that the days of making streaking runs through the centre of the park are over”. More specifically, the press release reads: 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. New AI routines have been designed that give a far greater level of overall control to players. Konami says the game is now tougher than ever, while the Champions League and Europa League licenses remain, as does the face of Barcelona’s Lionel Messi on the cover. Gameplay wise, a new power bar has been introduced that allows players to determine the exact strength and placement of every pass and shot with ‘absolute precision’ including long balls into space, short passes to feet and one-twos.
