I think KONAMI is going on the right direction for PES 2012 , they have smart moves such as second player control , or more active AI that can move with dummy runs , create more space for attackers and make alot of chances for us to score , also new defenders system , i think it will be promising .
Otherwise I don`t agree with KONAMI about what happened last year in PES 2011
because after the demo was great , and i played it , then i got shocked from the final version which i bought and simply it`s unplayable , i can`t understand , a company with a huge workers and they are making a football game for many years , they make a game like that in 2011 , looks like they let basketball players to test it before they sell it to us .
Konami should understand that , no graphics or some new animations or new videos can let us have a good game .
But the magic words to make a wonderful PES as i always say and say and say for years and nobody listen to me ;
1 - THE GAMEPLAY : What most attarct us to any game in the world is the GAMEPLAY , should be solid , smart AI , defenders knows what to do and in the right time , Goalkeepers , Referess , the gameplay should be more fluid , controlling the ball , giving more space to players so they can dribble , joggle , play with both feet .
Also , the point is not only attacking all the time , but the computer attcks in smart way and changing of plan in the whole game , such as Barca last year in PES 2011 , always attack from the left wing all the time with 2 players or 3 most , that is not right .
another issue also here , in PES gameplay ( also in FIFA ) the defenders play the ball from the back to the atatckers directly , the AI dosen`t have an option to play from defenders to midfield players then attackers , that also is not right .
as we are a good players and many of us play or watch real football , we like the gameplay to be more attractive , when we choose professional mode as example , we want to see the AI attack and attack and attack , that made us love PES in old days like PES 6 , we all like that , we love to have more space while playing the computer , the pace of the game will be enjoyable more if the AI is very smart and knows how to attack all the time , that is why we choose professional mode or higher so the gameplay can be more playable and fantastic .
2 - CONTROLLING THE BALL : the second magic word for PES that should focus on is controlling the ball , since PES 08 till PES 2011 we are suffering from controlling the ball , once i have the ball , i feel furstrated and i want to get rid of it quickely , that is not a football game should be , as a fotty players , we always like to play with both feet , recieve the ball and have it on the other foot then take one or 2 defenders ( such as Messi and C Ronaldo ) , but in past PES games , i don`t feel that , also the defender always comes from no where , and takes the ball , seems like the defender says : you don`t have the rights to dribble or joggle the ball , lol
do you want to know why many of PES players are playing FIFA more in recent years ? the answer is because the gameplay is fluid . ( in my opinion ) even i know that PES gameplay is more attarctive . and the second reason is ( 360 system ) dribbling and freedom to move the player and turn him at any direction i want anytime and ... anywhere , ( with the ball ) .
Fans don`t care while playing FIFA about licenses because players look all the same there and they look smaller than PES players on the game camera , they also don`t care about graphics most , but they care about ( freedom of moving the player with the ball to anywhere and passing one or 2 defenders easiley )
now you know KONAMI how to get all of us back to play PES again like old days ?
so these 2 major issues PES , GAMEPLAY AND CONTROLIING THE BALL , in my opinion , if PES focus on these 2 issues , no other footy game in the market can face PES , can you do that KONAMI ? i dought that but let`s hope we can find that in PES 2012 and i was wrong .
