after extensive testing the demo version as well as an approximately 10-hours of playing the (playful unchanged remaining) PES 2013 '-Finalversion I would like to present my personal conclusion:
WHAT'S NEW?
With PES Full Control the player on the ball and pass the opponents conjure a la Harlem Globetrotters:
Tip, hoe, Tralalla, with the ball on the opponent to main tunnels or past games - everything works all there, everything is possible.
The same applies to the manual shooting system. From now on you can let deliver the package with all the options in the mesh (optional): the lower left to the upper right corner, flat as high, with average or Full-Lotte full instep.
Fully and successfully exploit prerequisite to both innovations: hours of practicing and filigree work on both analog sticks.
With the newly introduced ProActive AI digital kicker to their real likenesses now than ever before are similar.
At least you can let the assertion apply that can be many movements of the corresponding footballers recognize. However, provided one eyed one of only 50 professionals who have come to enjoy this special programming. To praise such a poor result of innovation I think is something brash.
Konami improved noticeably the goalkeeper and gave as co- opponent finally the brain cells to respond useful to the respective game situations.
It is free running, it will run there, it is really played.
It shows and increases after years of stagnation at last the realism of footballing processes as results. In fact, a PES still saw them as alive, offered an offensive so many options and variants. Bravo!
WHAT IS GOOD?
Striking improved are the duels with now clearly comprehensible winners.
Fantastically (albeit sometimes a bit too powerful) fall from the kicks.
++ Defending ++
In predecessors offered regularly a spectacle of despair.
Even mediocre aufspielende opponents (whether of flesh and blood, or COM) went almost disembodied through the ranks and recessed gate for gate, favorite and most frequent after the restart through own scoring.
There were amateurish programming mistake, the ad led the collision detection in tackles absurdum.
Konami märzte this blemish completely. Tackles as tackles have been revised to present itself supple and the man successful in chance for winning the ball.
++ The Match Ball ++
Anyone familiar with the PES versions of blessed PS1 and PS2 days, will fall in love again in the game on and with the ball.
It has genuine feeling as ball Leading again and may contact the newly created opportunities from Trapping impressive scene.
++ The tactics ++
Particularly effective are now proving the tactical control settings. The increased AI react teammates better according to the specifications and put in offered free spaces or lock options in scene. You can now play like Barca or Bayern Munich - or even brutal mix concrete and try his luck in purely counterattack. Especially Italy 3-3-2-2 or 4-2-3-1 may be the modern performs particularly striking and high recognition value.
Even for beginners are offered by tactical preferences ('possession', 'Long Ball', etc.) a variety of variants, without draft in the matter to own
What is bad?
--All Off the Rasens--
A hard lump judgment. But who knows the series longer and observed noticed here the most massive cuts.
All offline modes were either curtailed or simply copied from the predecessor.
The online mode is again fully come until the second DLC from the end of October and is to bear again ... let's say half-baked.
Konami has operated so clearcut that there is not even more player avatars - or player statistics for people who want to gamble watching television in a familiar round home.
Even the lt. Konami reintroduced "Training Tutorial" only shows part of the new tricks.
A real training with competitions like Playstation 1 items still missing.
--La-La-La-Lizenzen--
It is again and again amazed at what the Japanese can be licensed every year - or precisely not. Why missing cuff, which were last year yet licensed (eg Rubin Kazan or Standard Liege)? Or why is dispensed with positive surprises of last year such as Apoel Nicosia?
Reacts Konami finally not offensive EA is the Bundesliga back up all leagues equal to - and then there are the Siekes "or Schindlers" in the square to admire.
--Präsentation--
The musical background of the menu is per se no longer bad to run away - still very fast very monotonous and very annoying.
At the animations in advance one has seen enough from the third year, viewers go with, but a real improvement in mood continues to be made
--Innovativer Murcks--
And if Konami but then makes his thoughts, then you will be amazed at what innovations you do there comes the distant Japan. As Current gimmick it is now possible (like a Pokemon trainer) to boost its footballers via an allocated shoe.
That sounds perhaps even comprehensible on first sight - but the resulting performance improvements (10% plus X) are completely reckless and downright anti-competitive.
++ Fazit--
As with any PES "there is light and shadow.
For the first time on the current generation of consoles dominated but the light - at least on the green grass.
Since PES 6, the feeling was not so directly, you could with ball and opponent so much and allowed to organize such a great effect to the gallery with his skill on the pad.
On request asks PES 2013 to pro equal an extreme sports car - without power and any assistance.
But even lay on the pad see through the adjustable support options in quickly and can combine directly nice.
But the big show at the ball, which promised the videos and presentations in advance need time, effort and practice. However, anyone who has this slog behind who really enjoys full freedom - the pass through ball to acceptance Pits.
That there was so still in any way a football simulation.
Nevertheless: This PES makes in my view, only the mistakes of his predecessors well - and wants to sell innovations and developments as groundbreaking, the one already 4 years ago could have been present.
Good PES is only in the square - next to everything is outrageous and carelessly programmed as presented, in most cases even simply copied directly from the predecessor.
For a video game that year after year to prove to New's, that's just amateurish - especially Konami calls with 60 Euro plus a top prize.
The current FIFA "-Konkurrent can also no less flex its muscles and provides a playful in a duel and defensive behavior still marktdominierendes product - on a year on year steigerndem level only in the forward movement has the current PES nose against EA. forward.
And EA sees off the field of sovereign and sounds even pleasant.
The direct predecessor PES 2012 "was the low point of the entire series for me.
The successor Konami has brought the flagship back on the right course.
Despite a Topwertung is not in sight.
Just about the steps in the area are playful - they only weed out the errors of the old version.
And off the pitch you gambled with lean menus and presentations of yesteryear almost entirely every newly acquired credit.
