Pro Evolution Soccer 2012

• Artificial Intelligence

AI has been improved in all aspects of the game, it really progressed noticeably in the control of the game throughout the field. “ Team play is what separates the greatest teams from others, and well-coordinated teamwork and instinctive play have become the central innovations of PES 2012, ” says Tingatsuka, the main creative producer of Shingo. Thus, the artificial intelligence (AI) in the game went through a major overhaul, now players feel more than ever as part of a real team.

• Attack

Much attention is paid to the game in attack. Among the new advantages is the ability to act in an aggressive manner and thus set the pace of the game. Together with the new capabilities of artificial intelligence, this will increase team interaction in the attack and will allow more efficient withdrawal of players face to face with the goalkeeper. In addition, players will move more intelligently, which means that players will have more options for accurate passes and opportunities to hold the ball. The team in "PES 2012" will act as a whole, the players will react to the actions of a teammate with the ball, which will make opponents make mistakes and reveal.

• Defense

Zonal guardianship and positional defense have undergone many changes - it will be much more difficult to open the defense of a “wiser” enemy. Defenders under the control of artificial intelligence more reliably repel attacks, choosing the optimal position and more effectively leading the opponent. But the goalkeepers in the DEMO are not fixed.

• In addition to realistic faces, football players in futsim also have much better detailing of the players ’shapes, they also added sweat on their faces, improved lighting and shadows of the players, although the whole schedule did not change significantly.
• New net on goal.
• Physics of the ball.

• With the right analog stick, you can now easily switch to any fielder. This will allow you to quickly respond to threats and disrupt enemy attacks. Managing a player without a ball will open up new possibilities for exacerbating the situation when shooting from the goal, corner, penalties and throw-in. In addition, a football player who does not own the ball will be able to lead the defenders behind him, and thus free up space for quick breakthroughs and access to the goal. Management is greatly improved.

According to official information, in the new PES 2012 game, players will be able to simultaneously (simultaneously) control two players on the field. The new Teammate Control system shown by Konami allows players to move players who don’t own the ball during their team’s standards and outs. To do this, you need to move the right analogue in the direction in which the football player you want to control is located. The same function will be available in a real attack mode - by controlling the player with the ball using the direction buttons, you (with the help of analogs) will be able to open with another player (for this you will need to hold R3). After you release R3, AI will take control of the opening player. “ We worked to add Teammate Control to the simulator, and we are very pleased that this system will debut in PES 2012 ,” said John Murphy, leader of the PES development team in Europe. We will not quote Murphy's further words, but, in general, he noted that this system is an important step in the world of virtual football. It was also noted that in “PES 2012” there will be an updated penalty system and improved player reaction.

• The match table and the main game menu remained the same.

• A new mode called “Football Life” has been added. It was originally believed that it was added to replace the Become a Legend and Master League modes, but during one of the official video reviews it turned out that it includes these two modes and the new one is Club Boss (Club Owner). That is, when starting a new game in Football Life, we choose which of the three modes to play [1] .
• A new, old Full Workout mode will be added.
