PC Game Review PES 2012

The situation of the series Pro Evolution Soccer has reached a point certainly complicated in recent years, having reached a degree of deterioration in the so-called Next-Gen that was unthinkable for any fan would have enjoyed his formidable deliveries in the past generation of consoles.

The reasons are easy to see with a quick glance but are somewhat more difficult to discern a more thorough analysis, but can be summarized in two very important pillars: One is the inability to fold Konami the possibilities offered by the Next- Gene not only aesthetic purposes but also playable on the other hand the explosion of rival FIFA franchise, who has read much better not only the aesthetic strength must be provided in the recent past, but also the applications that maximize the fun and realism as those offered at the technological level in physics, reactions, behavior of players on the field …

In recent times, last but not least, we have seen plenty of ups and downs in the future of PES , and there have been some really outstanding deliveries as the 2009-2010 season and other entirely disposable as the 2006-2007 seasons or the more recent, that of 2010-2011. At what point will find this PES 2012? At the highest point in the saga Pro Evolution Soccer has left us so far this generation, one that still allows you to take with a score of outstanding I had secured at the time of the first half dozen chapters of the saga, but begins to bring the game to the desired excellence in recent years lost.

A IA more robust capability reaction optimized on the transfer of our desires from our pad to what is displayed, and a series of additions defensive and offensive that have taken too long to join the series but are now welcome, turn out to be the big news of this game. Additions, yes, in many cases should take a long time with us but obviously assessments of the time of annexation, consolidate its own merits is the best PES since the days of PlayStation 2 and the first Xbox.

Ways to Play-Forms-
As usual PES 2012 will pivot as any sports title strongly defined on two pillars: the career mode and online experience. The first one is renamed and aesthetics on this occasion, though it retains the essence of what has been proposed for several years. Football Life is the new nomenclature of the type formerly known as Master League, which turns to spin putting the user in front of a club with all the consequences have to decide and take part not only of sport, but also the management and economic elements that will be needed to move forward with the team.

The special shows this year is more aesthetic, with the predominant presence of our technical advisor before each day’s play to tell us what’s new in any facet of the club. Translating this to effects of changes gameplay is almost zero since we are not allowed too much interaction in this direction, however in the visual itself brings a lot to be represented on screen this counselor who will tell us all the news about the template, the board or the club’s finances, and, moreover, we give details of the next opponent whenever there is a match.

Thus choosing a team, whatever, it will have on its staff with the usual troop of players of Pro Evolution Soccer to be counted among the ineffable Ruskin, Ximelez, Castolo and other invented names with which we inevitably begin our journey. Since then everything will be managed from the calendar that will give way to the daily dates, where you control things like training, staff management and a long list of activities not seen many changes.

What we must emphasize, is that once again we disagree with some decisions of the mode is that there are two aspects that are still giving us the feeling that will match the amount of hours that users will invest in this style of game. First is our opposition to the lack of control that remains on the signings , all of them again managed from the perspective of a scout who will take care to employ a few weeks to negotiate with the owner of football club you want, and give us all done for only having to sign the agreement if we agree with the pricing. Logically we can participate slightly from the amount stipulated to accept, discard or change it according to our desires, however, given the terminal status of the agreement include our involvement in all this is going to be almost nonexistent.

On the other hand still does not convince us to the console versions of the methodology at interfaces for tactical and distribution of the players who shape our starting lineup on the field. In the compatible version of this fits well with the use of mouse-keyboard combo, however stick with the console versions of the procedure is somewhat slower and more awkward than you might expect.

Otherwise the rest of the modes move quite as far as expected, no major additions beyond the dynamic training that will be described later. It all starts, just insert the game disc, creating an avatar for our profile with us for the entire gaming experience, and we can define some aspects such as physical appearance or characteristics of the photograph that appear portrayed. Once done, surely we will dive in friendly matches, with the Portuguese league debut, a collection of championships that you can check all following this link.

Victory at Any Price-Conclusions-
We have tried to reel off what are the elements that characterize this installment of Pro Evolution Soccer, however the big question is what makes this PES 2012 is, without being at the height of deliveries of PlayStation 2, the best title in the series has left us from the forgettable PES 2008.

Konami has sung a surprisingly honest speech recognition of wrong steps taken so far and of the marked superiority shown by the football IP rival Electronic Arts. “We have made ​​progress and this is beginning to notice, but we will also need a few years to rebuild PES and sales. It’s a great process, “say from the company Nippon mouth of Seabass , his primary responsibility, which also states that although not think there is a “great distance” between FIFA and PES, they still have “some years” to be to its height. Perhaps in this line of statements and attitudes is the key to his rescue, and in the location and subsequent neutralization of the weaknesses of the franchise is the methodology required for recovery.

The new additions give an idea of nonconformist desire, finally, Konami has had with this release. It is true that their additions are secondary in case of movement without the ball and much more relevant in terms of defensive capabilities, yet are enriching themselves at the time to provide more opportunities for face to greater control by the user. It is true that in the higher difficulty levels where the pressure of rival controlled by the IA is stifling, it is certainly difficult to execute the movements without the ball in a 100% effective in manual mode, however it feels that a lot of practice will be more and more comfortable as we go spending hours beginning with the automatic, and it is never guaranteed in a sport that passes with a 100% effective, and more in one like this.

What we also really liked the new change of pace to experience the title. In recent years, we explained that the game lurched looking for its location between a sensibility that tended toward the simulation and quite another to seek guidance arcade, sometimes leaving a dangerous middle ground that prevented enjoy a good sports game. PES 2012 retrieves the tempo of the game as only make great midfielders, and this may seem absurd that is essential if we compare this title with last year, and that this time gives us a game that will not last or too fast or too slow, the pace will be. This factor, coupled with the obvious improvements experienced by rival and ally AI, consolidates a truly remarkable degree over the field. Obviously from all these positive things there are also some negative important qualification, which is that the game is far from perfect yet despite the significant progress that offered in almost every way. On one hand the ball physics , once one of the great triumphs of the IP, go back to shine by its low realism. Certainly their behavior in and delivery unrealistic delivery is limited to situations increasingly isolated, but is still common to see shots that seem to be on a globe rather than on a soccer ball, and passes ceilings that give the feeling of walking a lawn of several centimeters in height. On the other hand, the gatekeepers are still not living up to what a game of this kind demand. Too often scored a goal and cost us a bit to fit any actions of a goalkeeper who often look to stop a lot of merit, and which will then mess up so glaring in the shooting easier. This could be attributed to randomness and surprise component that throws the football, fail to favor the realism of chance in the time that starts to happen too often. Headers from close range but very weak that literally eat the keepers, or the apparent inability of the gala for Bloc making balls instead of rejecting them and leave them dead at the feet of the front rivals are aspects that can not conceal or ignore in any way.

PES2012 PC Game Rating
Pro Evolution Soccer saga takes, finally, the pulse of the current generation of computers with delivery this year. Yet this is a game of the draft of the franchise offering in the past, but we’re back to enjoy a chapter which, like the 2009, again pointing in the right direction on issues as basic as game speed, AI or new playable. A sports game fun and recommended beyond the fans.
