PES 2012 new feature : Team mate control (assisted) ?

Hello,

As usual, please participate in PES 2012 poll here thank you.

The last two weeks have been quite a news coming for PES fans. You can see some videos explaining in detail how PES 2012 is improving their gameplay aspects. Especially, how the attacking and defensive team mate ai will behave much properly as what the modern real world football team should play. Addition of off-the ball player control for corners, throw-in, and freekick will also give us more option in playing as we may want. You can check Jon Muphy giving the explanation in his official pes youtube channel.

Before talking about the new “assisted team mate control”, let me share an opinion about overall animation that i would judge solely based on an unofficial video spread around youtube sometimes a go. For me, the awkward feeling of player that sometimes i can find in PES 2011 will be gone. If you remember my video about free-flowing passing, now it looks fixed and PES 2012 could let us play much more free-flowing passing game. This is why i think animation is just as important as gameplay aspects for todays game. Hopefully, Konami can implement this fluidity of animation in PES way, so we still can feel inertia/momentum that is different for players with different attributes.

Now onto “Assisted Team Mate Off-the ball Control”  that is being introduced by Konami this year besides “Manual Team Mate Off-the ball Control” for non-dead ball situation.

PES 2012 suggestion : Free flowing passing game

Hello everyone,

First of all, please take your time to poll in here  for PES graphical improvement. Secondly, i will share you this video i made regarding free flowing in PES especially in passing game (could not help not sharing :p). But, please read my short explanation after the video, will you ?

There quite amount of people questioning Konami’s commitment to overall animation fluidity over past few years.

PES 2012 poll : A must have little graphical detail to be polished for final version

Note (updated) :

– This poll is personal/community initiative and to be delivered to Jon Murphy (PES team leader) later this July.

– Link to this poll has been sent to J.M directly using twitter and indirectly  through official feedback in a PES community site, facebook, youtube channel and playtester.

We have heard that PES 2012 making great improvement in terms of overall ai reaction both attacking and defending as well as some tweaked and new added animation to enrich free-flowing and more satisfying football game. Not only that, that more aggressive player’s facial expression, manager, steward, cameraman, etc moving around the pitch is also added to PES 2012.

So what is to demand to get it right for PES 2012 to be rich visually.I am thinking about the scoreboards, pre-match/ht/ft screen info, should get better design, shape, and color pallet. It is disappointing to look at PES 2011 for normal match compared to CL match regarding this. No, i do not ask them to get BBC, Skysport, to get licensed for this little detail. But it is just how the design that should get attention. Look at what community can make, obviously only for pc version. They may add pes.tv logo too 🙂

I also get a suggestion from a friend over local forum (thx to taptap) to be added to the poll for more efficient and effective menu logic. Better menu logo design is also welcome. So the last one i thinking of is how about supporter flags and flare like in PS 2 days AFAIK ?

PES 2012 : At last, Jon Murphy is showing up for Q & A video blog

Remember Jon Murphy open Q & A session a while a go ? Yeah i bet you forgot because it has been quite a long time since we raise the question lol yet no feedback yet from him. Anyway, we have him now guys. See if your question is covered by his answers in three episodes.

Hints : it is a bit retro intro, old school, don’t full screen size it in HD 😉 .

PES 2012 July Madness : WENB playtester impression and events

Hola.. How’s life people ?

29/6/2011 was a fine moment going out with bro and his family and getting to know a girl he introduced. It went..
Okay let’s move on, shall we ? lol. A little while ago, it was adam and suff from WENB having the opportunity again to jump on the game, sharing pro’s and con’s to all Pro Evo buff throughout 29 june 2011. They mainly talk about how PES 2012 shines in its own way compared to PES 2011 and, in some department, FIFA franchise.

Of course it’s not the final version but kind of E3 or a bit newer than E3 build. Let me summarize what i think necessary to know.

1. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)

” Suffwan Eltom : I have to say that #PES2012 is a fantastic game of football to play. Purity and the most advanced AI seen in a footy game. #joy” *

Suff tweeted that during playtesting. IMO, from what i gather that our team mate behaviour is a step closer to represent  real world. Running for spaces, giving you more options to keep or pass the ball. It’s not merely running forward as in one-two, or player run’s trigger in fifa. Dummy run is another aspect incorporated. Team mate AI covering empty space much better than 2011  while defending  is also what we could expect to get in the released version. Thanks to much better responsiveness and fluidity of animation that Seabass and co. have been working on quite hard it seems.

Official PES 2012 news videos (recapped)

Hola…

So it has been a silent week for us pro evolution soccer fans without any PES 2012 info /news. Jon Murphy has not yet come up again, PESFAN & WENB lost signals lol, Evo-web is just like me, bored with news/info drought.

But let’s expect some worthy stuff from next playtester and press impressions probably next week. In the mean time,  I’ll leave you two official PES 2012 videos and  Jon Murphy’s interview you might miss. It looks and sounds good though.
