I'll try to answer some of the questions (sorry to those I've missed - I'll try to get to them all)
do all the hard shots still have backspin or are there proper knuckle, side spin, top spin and no spin shots?
i know you can do "knuckle" shots in pes 2011 but they need to be done manually which doesn't make any sense.
There is certainly more variety, not sure with knuckle shots, didn't notice one, but I did see a few dipping with topspin, some which didn't curve, some which did.
A few direct question to Romagnoli or Rodelero or both!
1) load formation screen: When you want to load a formation saved, this screen, fill the whole screen? or just the half? In PES 2011 blocked the other player.....
Ugh, I'm afraid I didn't try this out.
2) Shooting: is shooting very assisted like PES 2011 or is more depending on "human" skill? Of course the player stats will influence.
It's still very assisted, though you seem to have a lot more ability to power it yourself now. Aim still feels mostly up to the player.
3) Chip shot (square + L1): again...is to assisted and defficient like PES 2011?
I didn't use it much, I did see a fantastic goal by Rom through the chipping, but I think he said it wasn't too dissimilar to last time.
4) Auto clearance and auto-shooting: does the CPU clear the ball, shoots/heads automatically?
This is something you can set in some of the options. Passing, shooting, clearing, and slide tackling all have settings you can dictate.
5)Assisted passes 0 to 4: Asissted passes 0-4 are applied to:
a) Only passes with X?
b) Or passes with X, O and triangle?
Pretty sure it was b, though, as I said I was finding 0 pretty weird.
6) Sliding tackle to avoid ball going out the field: Can you make sliding tackle to try to save the ball from going out the field? in PES 2011 only you can try to save a goal ball.
Didn't see any cases of this I'm afraid, I don't think.
7) Control selection check: Is control selection check disabled?
I'm not quite sure what you mean, sorry, could you elaborate?
8) Penalties: The goalkeeper, can save the chip shot in all directions?
Honestly don't know. You might be better off quizzing Adam from WENB, as he still has the game on a couple of these.
@Rodelero
Late thanks for the preview
In PES 2011, when we pass a through ball (ground and lofted), long ball, our recipient
automatically run/sprints to the ball in a too stiff rail. In a sense that, we can't control him unless the ball is at his feet, the ball is at opponent's feet, use super cancel.
So, to what extent the freedom of controlling recipient player expands in this regard ? Thx
I didn't sense that this had changed much personally, though I think super-cancel is a little better.
First off: thank you for the nice work! :thumpsup:
Please allow me one important question:
do i can change the camera-angle when facing the goal in widecam?
In PES 2011 there was no option to change them and i had to use the "camera changer" tool to get rid of them.
I don't think there was any camera customisation from what I could see, which is odd.
Is there still a manual modifier? You said that 0 pass assistance felt different to manual but I am not sure if you meant that manual is still there or its different to manual different to 2011.
The manual modifier is still there.
Superb write up. Cant wait for the game now.
One question that I hope that can be answered:
Is there a regular, non tilting/broadcast style Wide Cam (like the PS2 days) present in the game this year? I seem to remember hearing about it during the initial announcement and I think it was being shown behind Seabass in the very first video.
Thanks.
That sounds quite like the Pitch Side camera to me, so yes.
NIce write up, mate. This most likely is the best preview so far. Very detailed and overall very positive, but it does not ignore what still needs fixing or tweaking.
My main concerns are still on the fatigue and staminia system. I know that the huge improvements on dribling, responsiveness controls and Ai teammates all together will make much easier to deal with pressure whores (at least that's what i hope so), but that doesn't mean that a proper fatigue/staminia are not needed.
I've read this preview last night (Brazil's clock time), i'm a bit lazzy to read it again so i'd like to ask you something: how are the refs and tackling system ? Considering that the 360 dribbling and collision physics are much improved, do the refs now call more fouls now ? Are they something like the pes 2011 demo ?
It's a lot more like the PES 2011 demo so far - a lot more fouls happen and the referees are on top of them pretty well. Clumsy use of pressing and tackle cause quite a lot of fouls. I really like how this is currently.
Thanks for the compliments everyone - and I'll try to get to the rest of the questions at some point.
