I have to agree with that. However I was talking about dribbling and moves in fifa. But that is a good point.
Yeah but that's precisely my point,
For example, in FIFA09 -- once you mastered the right analogue dribbling tricks you could dribble past anyone, giving the game a very arcade feel,
EA Sports somewhat rectified this with FIFA10 -- but -- the problem still is,
Both FIFA09 and FIFA10 are BOOORING and excessively minimalistic in terms of defensive play; and fact of the matter is that whenever you are dribbling -- your opponent will be marking you,
So all the right analogue dribbling tricks that the attacker has -- there must be a defensive equivalent for that, the game must be fun when you have the ball and when you don't have the ball,

Seabass: "FIFA is probably simpler because they have the overall gameplay balance just like we used to have - but the basics of football are one-versus-one, the ball carrier versus the defender," he explains. "So if you really want to go in deep, which we have, I think you'll get a more realistic flavour of this basic football element."
-------------------------------------------------
Judging by the sound of it, it looks like that's what Konami is going for: "the ball carrier versus the defender"
Dribbling and Defending go hand-in-hand, it would make no sense to improve dribbling tricks without improving the defensive side of the game,
And when I saw that trailer, well, the dribbling tricks are a bit too over-the-top for my taste; it is very similar to FIFA... but unlike FIFA, it seems as though Konami wants to go down a more realistic route,
The key flaw in all PES games to date, is the fact that there is no difference between marking the space and marking the player: this is why scoring goals is so easy... by finally rectifying this long-standing flaw, Konami would effectively re-invent themselves; if done correctly and realistically,
-------------------------------------------------
Defence, Seabass notes, "has changed massively". Using the dash button to close down and press the player with the ball has been replaced by a three-pronged system using the X button (it's all PS3 in Japan) and directional input.
-------------------------------------------------
As far as I'm concerned, the new defensive system will determine how good PES 2011 will be; hopefully we'll see a trailer detailing the differences between the old defensive system and the new defensive system that we currently know nothing about,
I hope Konami achieves what they want, as it sounds like something different and yet loyal to the original PES Concept,
