It's not crap, in many ways it is brilliant. The problems arise from the inherent game AI and overpowered individual stats. Top Player is scripted from top to bottom. KONAMI have set the game up to play as fast and direct as possible, the outcome is is that build up play doesn't necessarily get rewarded. The game needs to played at gamespeed level 0, with wide cam. And you need to play it at 100mph. That's the way KONAMI designed it.
Attacking wise, PES can feel a joy, the trouble is the other end. Defending can be controlled to a certain extent but more times than not it relies on more luck than judgement. Games are scripted and there's loads of little things like players leaving their positions to gift the cpu goals.
Quite simply if Konami removed the AI cheats to some extent, slowed the game down and introduced more cpu passing and build up play it would be a 9/9.5 out of 10. As it stands, for me anyway, it's a 7.5/8.
Of course PES12 is a better game than it's predecessors. But it might feel like a step back at times because there are annoyances in this game like you wouldn't believe. But it's a result of progression, as PES12 offer more freedom, better control of you players and arguably better physics. With more freedom follows a trail of more things that can go wrong, but most of us won't offer freedom for less errors either. Once you've played PES12 a few matches, going back to PES11 feels like a stiff arcade game compared.
So let me put it this way, the progression is good, but could been a lot better.
