If that's the way you want to enjoy it, fine. On the contrary, the long-overdue reintroduction of variable game speed allows for plenty of mischief (even mid-game) allowing you to either dial it down to a geriatric pace, or crank it up for comedy capers. Fortunately none of the tinkering is even remotely mandatory. Not only does it have an elaborate stadium editor, but it has a fantastic new system that enables you to drag and drop players into precise formations, as well as issue the kind of team management instructions that effectively turn the game into an incredibly complex simulation. Tactically, PES 2011 is a tinkerer's paradise. The outcomes are rarely the same, and you'll find yourself taking a punt from all angles - only to miss as many sitters as you'll score improbable net busters. The unpredictability of the outcomes make it the sort of game where you'll try new things, whipping in a cross after stealing possession, only for an onrushing forward to score a spectacularly opportunistic diving header. On top of that, the improvements to the possession system make it much more rewarding to try and patiently build attacks with hold-up play. If you get it wrong, the slow-motion replay will generally reveal why, though it's fair to say that referees are still pretty intolerant creatures when you deign to lunge in. The vast improvements to the animation across the board make the whole spectacle a great deal more convincing, too, meaning that a well-timed sliding or block tackle can be as game-saving as it would be in real-life. But while you can generally rely on your defenders getting tighter to the man and generally being less suicidal than previously, keepers can still pull a Robert Green when they want to.
Call another player into the fray to close the player down and tackle, and it's a game where you're less likely to get punished for arbitrary, basic mistakes, but one where you can be passed into oblivion if you give opponent too much space. In PES 2011, positioning and timing is absolutely critical, and if you can get the right side of your man, the chances are you'll reap rewards.

The system builds on the flow and excitement of last year's PES, albeit with added conviction. Likewise, AI players are more alive to the situation, and more likely to read your intentions and run towards misplaced passes or try and break into space.

Simply knocking the ball around to feet, there's a satisfying zip to it, and fewer passes go limply astray. have completely nailed the fundamentals this time around.

Even if you're one of those players who completely overlooks left-trigger-enhanced manual passing, it's easy to see that Seabass and co. Passing feels crisp, responsive and intuitive, and if you can get that right in a football game, you're halfway to greatness. The chief boast is the 'freedom to play', and this is definitely where PES impresses most this year. Konami loves boasting about this stuff, but it bears repeating - if only because it's actually true for the most part.

After all, did we not have the full 360 freedom to manually pass last year? Well, yeah, but let's not ruin a good slogan.Ī less punchy tagline, but closer to the mark, would have been more freedom, more often. You might be forgiven for thinking that this is the usual marketing bulls**t.

No, it's not another eye-rolling tagline for the latest car TV ad, but the back-of-the-box headline for the 10th outing of Konami's annual feast of football.
