PES 2011- Community Day Impressions
The PES 2011 Community Day was held yesterday at Konami HQ in London. There were several community sites in attendance, all there to play PES 2011 for the day.
Several sites have already posted their initial thoughts on the game, and others will do so in the coming days. So far, everyone seems very impressed with the game.
This article will be updated when more impressions and posted.

“Gameplay - a noticeable step up from PES2010. The pass system is so natural you wonder how you did without it. Makes play feel far more fluid and natural, rather than the old routine of feet-to-feet passes until a gap emerges. Jon described the passing build-up style as the target they're looking for with the gameplay, and it's still being worked on.”
Evo-web administrator Mart posted his thoughts over on his site.“"At last" was my reaction having played my first few minutes of PES 2011. "At last" because even though technically we're beyond calling the Xbox 360 and PS3 "next-gen" it's the first time PES has felt at home on this round of consoles. Its PS2 and even PlayStation roots all too apparent despite the graphical advancements and last year's 360° control.
The 360° control of last year, however, was very hard to spot. Not least because the ball could only be passed in 16 directions and even the players didn't appear to have the range of movement due to the distinctly last-gen animations. This year it all feels right. The gameplay even from the modified E3 code we had access to has already improved considerably over last year.
To illustrate the point, having a quick game of PES 2010 before writing this made me feel like I'd just booted one of the old PS2 favourites. That's not to say that enhancements haven't been made over the old games it's just that a lot of the time they were hidden behind a creaking game engine. EA were quick to realise the need for a new core engine for the current generation of gaming hardware and have reaped the rewards since.”

“It has finally worked. five hours intense play PES2011 good behind me and I have the first very good overview of the given one, which we expect will be in October. As I summarize here my notes and try to give you a good overview as possible and to collect my impressions, it still tingles in the fingers properly.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 is the game that we wait for PES fans for some years. Since the jump to next-gen in my opinion there was not really impressive version more and gaped after PES6 for me personally a big gap in the series.
In this PES6 footsteps now enters the new part and I can sum up: The game is not perfect. But it is incredibly well and you will love it. ”

“Game Play: Oh yeahhhhh! Now this is next gen baby!’For sure, for sure’ Playing this and then comparing it to PES 2010 game play wise.... 2011 is a major step up! Gone is the feeling of players running in rails and ping ponging the ball around the pitch, the fluidity of the game is bad ass :P yes it had some minor transition issues but this will or already has been seen to by the PES team and fixed (as Jon stated).
360 has officially arrived in PES, as you have seen in the trailer (plenty of times) passing is now more pin point, where you pass is where it goes. The freedom and total control this gives you is just brilliant!”

“The game is completely away from the arcade feel, no more R1 & Go, for total freedom in the building game, which demanded of us a little acclimation.
The delay between pressing the buttons and execution of the action has been almost completely removed. The player or cursor changes works again like in the good old days. The graphics are once again become better, the full back, no additional wing forward more and it is no longer Durchgebugge, ie when a defender between Ronaldo and the ball is, then run this not simply by the defender through. ”

“Immediately falls to the new 360-dribbling. The players feel now is not more like stranded oil tanker in the Gulf of Mexico, but like real football players. Directly and supple, these, depending on the strength of dribbling, lead straight across the lawn. In particular, the dribbling, the player with a magnitude of less than 80 has improved immensely. While they still lead from the animated step for them, no longer have a role but so forced and can navigate in an emergency in a different direction.General running seems much freer than in the predecessor, especially the feature of "Speed Stars" - an attribute with which to make real dancers like Messi, Robben or Ronaldo in control targeted at high speed - has been implemented super, what is not simple makes the enemies to come by ..
The times have where headless Messi and Ronaldo's Beamer's in fashion crept up to four opposing players over. Will one of these players unplanned past a Rio Ferdinand, it is called because of the newly built body physics quite quickly, "STOP!", And the leather is gone. Dribbling must therefore be much better planned and executed to get past Topverteidigern as they react now much more direct and precise. Generally towards the balance between offense and defense with the new duel system has been raised to a level as it has never been in PES. Nothing is more so unrealistic as in the predecessors. ”
