Manufacturer's Description
--------------------------
PES 2012 continues KONAMI's determination to listen to its
fanbase and make key improvements to the aspects the audience
demands. Thus, the focus for PES 2012 is to ensure the highest
level of playability, challenge and realism for the game, whilst
also improving the level of control offered to users. Fundamental
changes to all areas of its AI have been made following user
feedback. Similarly, teamwork is central to how the game moves
and feels, enabling fans to replicate anything they would see in
a real match.
Active AI: PES 2012 strives to recreate the movement and team
ethic of real football, and Active AI plays a vital role in this.
Players will no longer flock to a ball, but will make intelligent
runs to create space and draw markers, while others will make
themselves available, instigate runs, and visibly call for the
ball. In the box, support players will make diagonal decoy runs,
full backs will overlap on the wings and midfielders will provide
support from behind the ball. The new Active AI routines ensure
the flow of a match is more natural, with specific routines for
both attack and defence.
Hold-up play implemented last year has been improved for easier
control with more effectiveness. Defending as a unit plays a key
role, and players now hold a tight line, check on the distance
between each other, track back as a unit, and fill in for each
other. As individuals they also make better decisions to close
space, block and tackle.
Jostling: Physicality is a key component in PES 2012, with player
strength one of their key individual attributes, and having a
vital effect on how they can use their strength to win the ball
in a one-on-one situation. Players now fall depending on how they
are challenged, with more realistic animations used to show the
challenges between two jostling players.
Graphics: Several aspects of the game have enjoyed a huge
overhaul. Player facial expression is now much richer and the
lighting effects are more natural, while new cameras show off the
huge variety of pitch-side movement, with more detail on and
around the game than ever before.
Off The Ball Control: Equally key to opening up PES 2012 is the
ability to highlight any player at any time. A new system has
been implemented, allowing users to switch players with ease. In
defence, the right stick is now used to select any outfield
player, while set pieces are also enhanced through its use. Goal
kicks, corners, free kicks and throw-ins now let the user quickly
take control of any player off the ball, enabling clever runs
which create space for an attack.
Referee AI: Referees are also crucial to general game flow and
their AI has been greatly enhanced to ensure fewer interruptions
to play. Decisions are improved, and advantage is played much
more regularly in offside and free kick scenarios. As such, refs
will only intervene when truly necessary, but they will show
cards if necessary once play has broken down.
Pass Support: Accessed through the new personal player settings,
Pass Support allows users to determine the level of AI assistance
when passing the ball. Players can opt for one of five settings
from full support, right up to full veteran setting which
switches off all assistance so that the direction, weight and
speed of every pass is at their disposal.
