In my first impression post I said it was well better than 2011, and that I was loveing it. On playing it more, there are SO MANY issues for me.
1, Keepers are awful, they always have been but in this version, they are truely something else.
2, My defenders just run to the side and leave huge gaps.
3, I have played it on regular, pro, and top player, and the computer just skill my head off on all settings - they run, do the slightest little body fient and they are miles ahead of a hapless defender.
4, As part of the above, once a player has been turned, he takes an age to get back on track.
5, The following players are impossible to keep up with, foul, get past or stop: Lavezi, Rooney, Berbatov, Hulk, Varela, Cavani.
I am now just frustrated most of the time with it, I think this will be my last night of it before going back to 2011, maybe starting one last master league, then trying the 2nd demo mid september.
If that is true and the released product is more or less the same, I think if that's the case then PES12 is just further indication of the fact that Konami and EA Sports are trying to perfect a formula that no longer has the potential or capacity to improve.
The same thing happened with the FIFA series, everyone said that FIFA09 was near perfection and just needed some refinement here and there, then FIFA10 came out and a lot of people did not considered an improvement; then FIFA11 came out and a lot of people thought it only got worst.... Which indicates that something is wrong with the formula itself, perhaps it's time for Konami and EA Sports to start from scratch with a whole new concept.
