PES 2012 simply awful

I had enough of PES 2012 after 2 weeks of playing it. I'm going back to PES 2011 which I have been playing for the past 20 months. What's with the completely different gameplay from PES 2011?
Maybe I'm just too used to PES 2011 but everything about PES 2012 is just different from all the PES I've played before. Almost every player on the opposition can skip pass tackles like they were Lionel Messi's brother or as himself. I'm just getting very very frustrated at the awful gameplay. Played almost 30 games now and still barely being able to score a goal because of the 'super' AI defending. I see a lot of people complaining about the GK's but I don't seem to have any problem with the goalies apart from tipping over tame shots over the bar..
The dribbling is very much improved compared to PES 2011 but IMO contradicted with the new defending system where 2-3 defenders gang up on you and follow you all over the pitch like you were Scarlette Johansson in bikini.
I'm just very disappointed with the whole thing altogether. The packaging seems really nice with all the nice animations and graphics but the gameplay just let's me down.. I've really no idea what should I do when PES 2013 comes out. Maybe they will revamp the whole game again. Changing everything you have learned from previous games..
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the penalties as well. Why the heck to they want to change the penalty system every year??? Is it that important? And I have to look at the command list every time I play PES. That is just plain annoying and not enjoyable.
Sorry for the long post but I just had to let you all know about how I feel about this game. Hopefully they can get it right somewhere in the near future when I'm still interested in gaming. :no:

Well, I play on the PC and FIFA 12 on pc was not particularly pretty but it was okay as I got FIFA 12 as well. But I thoroughly enjoyed PES 2011 mainly because of the gameplay. The main point I'm implying is that PES 2012 introduces a whole new passing system, dribbling physics, supernatural AI defending and a new penalty system which was rubbish. All I'm saying is why the drastic change? I didn't really enjoy it besides from the improved graphics and animations.

I created this thread in BAL is because besides playing exhibition mode, I played BAL which has everything that BAL needs except the stupid gameplay. Couldn't pass, kick, dribble or defend properly with all the new mechanics.

fifa 11 was awesome!! pes 2012, 11 and 10 was crap. pes 2008 was cool

I disagree that PES 2008 was good. It was another PES with a completely different gameplay from its predecessors i.e. PES 2007, which I really enjoyed.

I agree that the game truly is always different year after year you feel like you have to start from almost the scratch..

"which tricks work this year", which passes, how are the controls. etc.

Anyway I've also played BAL since 2009, and I can say that BAL in 2012 is easily the best so far.

This is because your teammates can actually now do something intelligent. Defence doesn't lose the ball so easily to AI, and AI strikers and wingers can actually dribble instead of always bumping to opponent defenders.

Also due to difficulty being quite tough it's a good satisfaction when you actually play a good game.

I urge you to stick into it with the controls, you'll get them! :thumbsup:
