In recent years, it went with the traditional series slightly downhill and the great competition from EA took over. Rightly so, one must admit as PES fans unfortunately. The right time for Konami, then, the number one time to roll up neatly. A new control concept makes for a completely unfamiliar feel and gives Pro Evolution Soccer freedom a true football simulation needs.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 is tough, so what must be the first time not bad. Stressful, because we control the new demands a lot. Exhausting because there are many new features this year. Good and bad. Stressful because one or the other PES fan will not know right away what he has to think of this game. But first let's start from the beginning.
The biggest change in Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 is the controller. Just as the FIFA series, it demonstrated how in the last year in a similar manner as in the new PES, the absolute freedom of the player in the foreground. The kicker is, the move and fit into 360 degrees and each ball requires an accurate measure of strength. Helpful is that the power bar no longer is at the bottom, but lights just below the right flanks, be, shooting players.
Those who change from the previous version to the new PES will be shocked by their own numerous false passports. The new PES, as regards direction and strength extremely thorough and only now realizes Pro Evo fans how much they had been taken off the CPU. Extremely noticeable when the new control through pass. This fully automatic ball so far been aimed only at a player who appeared to match the most appropriate. This caused a big trouble if the game did not recognize that another, somewhat more distant colleague was posted significantly better.
This can not happen anymore. It's also nice is that in Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 finally dribbled more. Poorer players are not nearly so clumsy as last, they take more balls to the ball in midfield and can also hold times, instead of playing with him just hot potato. The new trick controls, with all the tricks to Gusto on the right analog stick can also set a pleasant novelty.
The second-biggest update was missed the line-up screen, which can now describe my opinion only in a word, schizophrenic. The good thing about the new tactics screen, that is no longer between several menus back and be hergewechselt needs to the team's own wishes to establish. On the mini-map, which occupies nearly half of the screen, not just the players to be replaced, thanks to the mouse-like cursor positions are also adjusted by drag and drop is quick.
In our list there are the menus for crew style, strategy and formation templates. New with this tactic, the dynamic editor. With it can be set, in which minute of the game, what tactics the team moving. Depending on whether we lead or lag. This is also done entirely by drag and drop and is definitely one of the positive changes in the installation menu.
The bad new tactics on-screen is that attributes of our kickers, such as the strong base, the game page and the entities it controls positions only visible by pressing a button are. Why these data are simply no longer have to appear in a small window remains a mystery to me. Place would have been enough anyway. Extreme is impractical and that are connected in the view of the day's form and strength of the players back and forth must. Finally now is the time saved whistle again.
It looks a little better again in Become a Legend mode, in which lots has changed. Now that we no longer just for new clubs on the lookout, but also choose our agents, which requires an appropriate level depending on ability, this mode feels almost like a manager game. The training games in which we recommended to us for the starting XI, there is no more. Although they were quite annoying, but I think it's a shame. Nothing could make me prouder than to countless, agonizing exercise games to finally be among the first eleven.
Instead, there is a ranking this year with all the competitors for the desired position where we have to work your a good performance. A cool feature is the short tactics meetings in the locker room. The coach is where it was mostly the same nonsense on his own, but this increases the midst feeling. After playing there next to a detailed balance sheet of praise or criticism from the coach. After bad games are even some encouragement from the team captain.
As in recent years, PES 2011 is optically clear before EA's competition. The animations look impressive from liquid, the players are extremely detailed and the cut scenes are expertly staged. The audience looks better than ever and also the menu is certainly the prettiest that has seen the series ever. Repeats this year has missed a slight blur effect. Whether this is pretty or not, may ultimately be a matter of taste. My case is not in any case.
For controversy among PES fans will make sure the new camera. A wide-angle perspective that goes easy on the sideline along and aims straight on to the pitch, it no longer exists. Instead, the camera wanders a bit with the ball, turned, however, also something that the closer we come to the gate. Although the controls are not relative to perspective, it is still somewhat unclear.
The sound has improved consistently, however. Hansi Kuepper and Wolf foot now have not only some information about the stages of Europe, special games, like those between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid also anmoderiert particularly euphoric. The stadium atmosphere has also improved significantly. The crowd chants sound less monotonous, and the new stadium announcer, the audience in the arena and says welcome to scorers and substitution. The soundtrack however, provides only a few beads and make a lot of tracks with high nerve factor, but what is there and MP3 playlists editor.
Licenses are, in the PES has always been a vexed issue, this year it looks any event quite well. Champions League, Champions League, Super Cup, Copa Libertadores with this exclusive licenses and German gamers can look forward to Werder Bremen and FC Bayern Munich. Too bad that there are not even a "fake" German League, the Bayern and Bremen are at home. The "fake" English league has finally only two licensed clubs in the repertoire.
The new stadium editor is indeed a nice idea, but unfortunately he is far too cumbersome to use and hence not worth mentioning. An amusing feature is the DLC, for which one can win the points. For example, are available for download classic national teams, balls and haircuts, but what the game takes a little ridiculous. But this is certainly a matter of taste. I for one feel no desire in any case with a Halloween pumpkin on your head against a wooden barrel and an oversized pink candy to compete.
Despite the criticism, the balance sheet for Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 is positive. The new camera and the hidden player attributes in the tactics screen annoying indeed, the totally new feeling is switching to the new part but value. The good news for all PES fans: After years of disappointments, it's finally back up. Finally we can play the passes, we want to play. Finally we can play football, we want to play. So strenuous that might be.
