wearepes preview
main points
there are now 4 different complete different tactics that can be changed during the match by pressing the four different directions
graphically very similar to pes 2011
no latence in responsiveness, every action is extremely responsive to our command
every player movement is now more soft, fluid, a feeling that next gen pes didn't have
pes 2012 can be compared to pes 6, but pes 2012 has more gameplay elements very well conceived and integrated into the game
R2 is very important in this game:it gives the players a lot more movements animations, both in defence and attack
There is a great new animation level, contact engine, battle for the ball
ball physics has been improved a lot, there is a real feeling to have control over the passes, especially with manual passing setting
shooting is good, but sometimes central shots are too feeble
As regards to team mate control the most useful is semiassisted
The game is very balanced between attack and defence: many matches ended with 1:1 or 0:0 scores, and that is thanks to the improved defence
the only unbalanced element is C.Ronaldo who looks like a superhero
Dead ball situations now are extremely better thanks to the new system
cursor is fixed, even in 2vs2 matches
Bad things
goalkeepers, sometimes they are very good, sometimes very weak
crosses from the flank sometimes are scripted, it's too easy to reach the head of the attacker
the game still lacks many animations to give much more variety to the match and to player movement
Conclusion
The game has improved a lot since Pes 2011, it's a giant step in the right direction for Konami, thanks to several gameplay improvements and additions
