PES 2012 - Preview
2nd August, 2011 11:00:00pmPosted by graday
We find ourselves in the middle of the PES revolution. Rewind 12 months, and you would see PES 2011 demanding that you re-learn everything you know. It was the same game that we're used to yet, at the same time, was entirely different. Some loved this new direction, others hated it - I, personally, reside in the former, with the caveat that, whilst the changes in PES 2011 were good (and needed) - it had a lot of work to be done before it could be classed as great.
Also, those that have followed my thoughts over the last 12 months will have seen my scribbling that PES 2012 would need to ditch the annual cycle of unnecessarily-complex overhauls and reinvention, and instead opt for a more streamlined approach - a process of improvement and refinement, with a particular focus on enhancing the most important element: gameplay.
As you're no doubt aware by now, this is exactly what Konami have done. Which leads us to ask the inevitable: Has it paid off? Will PES 2012 finally give us a great game of football?

We’re starting to get the first few press reactions from around the world as journalists everywhere play the latest PES2010 code. More will be posted as and when we see them, but so far the feelings seem to be positive.

..there's no question Konami has turned sharply away from the cul-de-sac into which the series appeared to be disappearing last year, and if nothing else PES 2010 looks like it will serve as a decent manifesto for the Japanese developer's future plans.
...just as worthy of applause is the increased transparency off the pitch, with a number of structural changes that allow you to understand and adjust players, positions and tactics without the need for laborious trial-and-error.

PES 2010: 360 Degree Movement and Other Features Confirmed
17th August, 2009 11:16:00amPosted by andyofbramall
360-degree control will be available on both the PLAYSTATION®3, Xbox 360 and PC-DVD versions of the game via the analogue sticks on the respective controllers. The system will allow players to spread the ball with ease, opening up new attacking and defensive possibilities. PLAYSTATION®3 owners will also benefit when using the Dual Shock’s D-Pad, but Xbox 360 and Win D-Pads are limited to eight-directional control due to technical limitations of the hardware.

Does the crowd make any noise relevant to action on pitch?
Yes. Depending on if you play a home or away game, the overall fans will react accordingly. If an away team has the ball for too long they will begin to get jeered, with the home team getting more regular cheers. Same goes for goals/fouls/pen appeals/etc.
What’s the situation with selecting kits?
Like PES2009, the team is restricted to only 2 kits each and different elements of the kits are not interchangeable.
Do a player’s stats change when being placed in different positions?
Yes. The players overall ability number will drop depending on if you play him out of position. Play a striker in CF position and he might have 76, move him to LB and it might drop to 27.
PES2010 Hands-On

Tell you what Jon, it’s that time of the year again. Yup, Konami have released the latest code of PES2010 to the press, and here at the bright lights of PESFan towers we’ve managed to get our grubby little mitts on it for your benefit. Oh happy days.
As always when trying a new build of PES for the first time, I headed straight for Exhibition mode. What better way to test the ins and outs of a new code than by reliving that most classic of world football matches - West Midlands Village vs. East London.
The first thing that struck me about the game was just how hard it was to run with the ball now. Granted, every time I play a new version of PES there’s always that little adjustment period, but I was completely beyond all redemption. Every time I tried to dribble around a player I came unstuck, it seemed almost impossible. Even faster members of the squad like Ashley Young could only run a finite amount before being thwarted by a member of the Hammers defence. Before I knew it, I was a goal down inside 10 minutes. What on earth was I doing wrong?
Several games later - it hit me.

PES2010 Card and Team Style Video
11th August, 2009 06:15:00pmPosted by andyofbramall
In one of Konami's slickest videos to date, fans are finally able to see gameplay (albeit only fleeting glimpses) of PES 2010 for themselves after reading so much about it in the past few months.
Opening up with footage from the studio tour, the video then mixes the descriptions of the Team Style sliders with gameplay footage of them in action. Konami also make a point of saying how they’ve worked on overhauling the AI elements of the game, with a much higher focus on team strategy, with segments highlighting the effects of how changing the slider bars work in-game.

PES2010 Q&A Session
11th August, 2009 06:01:00pmPosted by andyofbramall
Afternoon everybody, some really exciting news afoot.
As a portion of users may already know, here at PESFan towers we’re lucky enough to have got hold of the latest PES2010 code, and it is splendid. Honestly, going back to PES2009 afterwards feels like a total chore.
Which leads on to my next point. We’d like to offer you all the chance to have your questions asked in a Q&A session we’ll be holding over the next week. We won’t be able to answer them until Gamescom, but be assured we’ll try and get as many replied to as we can past that point.
