I can't help but to think that this 2012 installment will be nothing more than the errors/bug-corrected version of 2011. PR will do its best to sell us all that stuff as new. Maybe they even put some nice old but lately removed options like running directions of players back in and do some other nice UI style so all looks "new" again. But the principle behind it will still fail to satisfy real PES vets as they prove with every year of next-gen installments that they make 2 steps back when they do 1 forward. And still I must repeat: This looks like 2011 without the partly gamebreaking errors of the original 2011 we are hanging around with now.
And to be honest: If this is all they change from what I can see, why not bring an update to 2011 optimizing the AI? It would be possible, I'm sure. They just don't want because they want to make money with this "full version update".
I also hope they remove those two strange ability cards for sprinting and turning like crazy (Arshavin, Messi, CR7, Elia, Capel etc.) or at least modify them that it is less obvious compared to other top speed guys like Agüro, Pato and others. It's just toooooo obvious. Generally I'd like to see a real difference between stats of players but in a fluid transition, not like now. This also applies to defenders who should stick realistically to what top speed they can really have. A defender is too slow? Have a better AI positioning them accordingly to their defence skill and it will always be up to the player to fail or succeed. Like now it's just ridiculous. Konami integrated another error in gameplay to cover another error here... And it seems they just go on with that. Just to avoid the unavoidable: Redesign the game and create a new future-proof engine!
