Every aspect of player movement has been reworked, with more organic runs, turns, throw-ins, tackles, and interaction. Facial animation has been enhanced, but the key advances are over 1000 all-new animations which have been recreated from the ground up using over 100 hours of motion captured footage.
Aesthetics: PES 2010 showcased the best likenesses in a football game, and PES 2011 ups the ante further.It is harder to make long runs from midfield, and successful play will depend on making quick passes to make room. The game will burst into life as counter-attacks come into play, but players can dictate the pace via slow build up or exploiting available space to surge forward. Speed of Play: The new level of control means that PES 2011 enjoys a more considered pace of play, which varies dependent on situations.
Ambient animation also adds immensely to the in-game atmosphere, as players behave realistically when off the ball, and walk and run with a variety of individual styles. Jostling and blocking now looks stunning, while there is a larger variety of convincing tackling styles. The physicality between players is also improved, which was a priority requested in PES forums. These additions will become clear before even kick-off, with the players enjoying fluid, natural movements, with more realistic acceleration and inertia than ever before. Animation and Player Physics: PES Productions has totally reworked every element of in-game animation.New Defender AI: Defenders now hold their positions naturally, no longer chasing any ball that enters their area preferring to close down the attacker and force them into a mistake.Constantly sprinting will affect the player's movements and will have an adverse affect on his stats, with passes going awry and a loss of pace. Shot & Stamina Gauge: In addition to the generic power gauge, the Shot & Stamina meter details the player's exact level of fitness.Players even can apply pressure on opponents to force them off the ball. Players must precisely weight their passes and second-guess the runs of their team-mates and exploit their movement. This allows users to pass the ball into space, and move their play with total freedom. Total Control: PES Productions has enhanced the 360-degree passing ratio, offering unprecedented levels of control over every pass, shot, throw-in, through ball and lofted through balls.Instead, all-new routines facilitate complete control both of the player and their chosen actions in every respect to give the player sublime control over every movement. No longer will assisted AI intervene during matches users will now need to sense and react to threats and passes will not automatically reach the nearest player. This freedom of play is also extended via new AI routines designed to place every move and decision in the player's hands. Balls can now be spread absolutely anywhere with utter precision, with long balls into space, short passes to feet and intricate one-twos allowing the player to dictate play and control the tempo of a match. Central to its total freedom of play, PES 2011 introduces a power bar for each player that allows the user to determine the exact strength and placement of every pass and shot.
