After now spending many months player PES2011 I can now come to a verdict that PES2011 is let down by badly coded or unfinished game-play elements and weak/inept AI. I have therefore compiled a list of things wrong with PES2011 hoping that you will focus on these areas to improve the game. There are many small flaws with PES2011, but they all add up to make PES2011 a massive disappointment.
> Random stadium assignment in cup matches: Should be the home stadium of the home team except for the final which should be a neutral ground.
> When you have a choice of forward passes and the game always passes to an offside player.
> The shooting in PES2011 is terrible: Even if using minimum power from 6 yards shots always balloon over the bar. This is nearly a game breaker.
> Player selection: Very much a game breaker, better than it was in the vanilla version, but still bad. The player selected should always be the closest player to the ball, between your own goal and the ball.
> Formation configuration screen: This is too fiddly and difficult to use, the screen from PES 6 was the best one to date, should be brought back.
> Too many large stadiums: Not enough very small stadiums to be assigned to lower teams.
> Incorrect stadium assignment: Stadiums should be assigned to clubs that resemble their own stadiums in size and appearance. Less than 30 stadiums is quite poor when you consider the number in FIFA games.
> AI team-mates not intercepting passes: Ball sometimes within an inch of the player as he watches it go past him - team-mate interceptions are a must.
> AI team-mates heading crosses or corners: AI team mates that head corners or crosses, which will always go over the bar, stopping your own player from getting the shot in is very annoying. Also AI team-mates making bad tackles and getting booked/sent off is also annoying.
> Player movement (what there is of it): Players do not make forward runs between defenders, player movement in general is terrible. Full backs do not overlap on the outside as they should, players do not have off the ball intelligence of any kind in PES2011.
> Goalkeepers: Quite often they don't even bother to dive in this years game. Quite bad even by Konami's recent standards. GK's are too slow in rushing out, and too stupid.
> Fake teams in Master League: It would be better to have unlicensed lower leagues such as the English Championship than fake teams from all over Europe. This spoils any sense realism.
> Realistic finances: Player values are very inaccurate.
> Player trading: This needs to be brought back.
> Stadium announcer: It is annoying hearing the stadium announcer talk so much. There should be an option to turn if off.
> More kinds of weather should be brought in for PES2012.
> Heavily and blatantly scripted matches should be removed. I am aware that some scripting is necessary to enhance realism, but the crudeness of it in recent years is extremely frustrating.
> Delayed offside whistle - just annoying.
> Unresponsive players around the penalty box: Players become slow and unresponsive around the penalty box area. This is just annoying because it is a programming cheat to sabotage the player, and its obvious.
> No advantage rule
> Bad referees: Referees are as bad as PES4 - a real step backwards.
> Tackles from behind: The tackle from behind is actually banned in football: The AI should not be able to just bump your player off the ball from behind. Also bad and late tackles are not punished at all most of the time.
> Player pace: Pace has been removed as a factor in this game: Players that are supposed to be fast such as Lennon and aren't. This needs to be addressed as it is totally unrealistic.
> The penalty system: Enough said really.
> No play-offs in lower-league.
> Diving
> Your own players getting in the way of passes.
> Shingo Seabass having anything to do with the game.
Hope this helps.
A MESSAGE DIRECTLY TO KONAMI:
PLEASE STOP TRYING TO RELEASE A PES EVERY YEAR. FOUR POOR GAMES IN A ROW SHOWS THAT THE PES DEVELOPMENT TEAM IS NOT CAPABLE OF RELEASING A FINISHED, HIGH QUALITY PES IN ONLY 12 MONTHS.
PLEASE ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM THE TIME THEY NEED TO PRODUCE A GOOD GAME. IT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER IN THE LONG RUN FOR YOU.
