PES 2011 Preview - 9/10 - This is the best PES ever!

[Xavier]

I was invited to play PES 2011 for one hour, and let me tell you, it's the best game ever. I want to publicly thank the KONAMI booth, the producer of the game, and the marketing leader for the European Community for allowing me to play PES 2011 for one entire hour.

Here are the main features of the game:

• UEFA Champions League
• UEFA Europa League
• Copa Libertadores de America
• Completely new passing system. Avoiding the "ping-pong" effect, this new mode will allow you to pass with more precision. Even the throw ins are affected by this, the intensity of every pass/throw is different.
• Totally new dribble system. Now you can really dribble, R2, L2, Right Stick, Left Stick... you have to see the list of dribbles, it's amazing.
• According to what I was told, DLC updates WILL NOT break your current Option File. We'll have to wait and see if that's true.
• New MENUs system, that is actually quite nice. The menus look like a PS3 XMB (Xross Media Bar), but better.
• Better Music (no more crappy techno). Let's see if Konami keeps that promise
• No annoying vuvuzelas! haha, actually they promised me they'll never do that
• Better chants from the public.
• EPL remains exclusive for EA Sports
• 60% of the game is already finished.
• Better goalies
• Better referees
• At the time of this demo, goalies were not 100% programmed, but I didn't see any imperfections in it
• BLUR! Yes, blur!. You will be able to see true 1080p quality animations. Now, every time you see a replay, the system will automatically blur it for you, so the game will look really good on a HDTV.
• I was told the blur system is not going to be in every part of the game, because of headaches, dizziness... you now
• GAME SPEED!
  Now players will be able to play
• Konami Cup (as always)
• Community Mode is not confirmed. They weren't able to confirm/deny Community Mode. I've never played that mode, but hey, it never hurts to ask
• Become a Legend is still there
• Intel vs AMD fixed right out of the box, no patches or anything, so according to KONAMI they promise a smooth online gameplay right out the box
• Game WILL NOT use Steam. I told Konami that if they ever use Steam they will lose maybe 50% of the PC online community, so for the people asking me about Steam, no, it's the same online game system as before.
• Make sure to buy this game and support KONAMI. These guys are doing the best soccer PC game in the world, and now with Bruja Veron leading Estudiantes, Cruzeiro, Sao Paulo... right out of the box, there is NO REASON not to buy this game.
  Intel vs AMD fixed, new dribbles, game speed, blur effect in repetitions, online game play, a true Next Gen Experience for everybody!

CONCLUSION: After playing this game for one hour, I have to say, this game looks like PES 2010 on steroids. PES 2011 is built from PES 2010, so we can expect basically the same game, with the addition of new dribbles, a better online play, better menus, better music, blur animation, and new passing system, reducing the 'ping-pong' effect. With the addition of the game speed setting, arcade users will be happy too. Overall, I give this game 9/10. I really loved it

HAVE ANY QUESTIONS:
Post your questions here, I will make sure KONAMI hears the suggestion of the GamingAccess Community!

Hello

Fouls in game really decent how the player falls,etc The way of the tackle determines how the player gets tripped or tackled from each certain area. The players that tackle actually are much improved than last year. They try get their legs around the player for the ball first, they don't just try go straight through the player and at 1 straight direction. Movement is really great of the players, especially when you watch a reply or something you can see just how well the player moves like real life.

Can't really comment on AI but for me it seems up a notch, only played 1 or 2 games though.

@ Xavier

So the demo we played is only 60% complete?
I noticed the blur on my HD screen, looks really amazing and smooth.
The whole new setup starting a match, menus looks really great a big improvement, love the camera angle too.

Question: Do you have name plates for your player at the bottom of your screen?
