I recently saw the preview trailer of Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 on internet. The graphics looked very great. Also the animation that shows Cristiano Ronaldo running across the field was great. At the end of the trailer, there is list of numerous new features and abilities that will be introduced or will be improved. Can anybody tell me what they are and what difference will be noticed?

Konami has finally revealed the first look for pro Evolution Soccer 2013. The trailer has shown the development in the graphics by showing the Cristiano Ronaldo closely. The same trailer also shows the fields in which the improvements have been done. According to the developers they have considered the requests and wishes of its fans that were posted on the Facebook wall and on e-mails to the developers. Developers have taken into consideration the comments posted by the users in PES community. All the important and constructive comments were taken into consideration and then production of game was undertaken. The feedback analyzed, discussed and processed by the development team assigned for Pro Evolution Soccer 2013.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 boasts of PES Full Control. This means that the user will now get more control over the player and ball. The movements of the player can be controlled in more detailed manner than any of the previous version. It also boasts of Dynamic First Touch, which includes better control over ball while passing and receiving a pass. It will also introduce many new moves that will make it easier to trap or lift the ball while attacking and maintain the possession of the ball while keeping it away from the defender. In Xbox 360, one will be able to trap ball using the R2 key. This feature has been named as ‘First Touch’. In previous games, if the oncoming ball from a pass would be of great speed than it would just bounce off the feet of the receiver. But with help of first touch feature, the pass receiving player will control the ball efficiently and stop it from getting away. Defenders will automatically change the direction of their movements according to the momentum of the oncoming ball.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 will also offer precision passing and shooting. It will allow the user to adjust the height, distance and power with which the shot should be executed. This will be named as manual passing and manual shooting. Low Passes will be made more accurately and also the position at which the ball should fall after the shot is placed will also be decided by the user. This provides a good precision while shooting. A user will need to develop a good amount of skill and master these moves to get the precise skills. But once mastered, game played by the user will be unmatched to any other game.

The basic speed of the player while dribbling has been reduced to match the speed of dribbling in real match. But developers have assigned various keys to add variation in dribbling that can be done by the user. By pressing R2, one can easily control the speed of dribbling attained by the player. Along with adding variation in dribbling speed, player can also cushion the ball within their feet as they want. This will add ease in doing moves like 360 degree circle. It will also allow the player to push the ball past a player and then collect it by running across the player. One can also defend the ball from opponents while his teammates find space and position themselves before they receive the pass. The One-two move that can be used by two team mates has also been made more tactical.
The defending part has also been improved very much. By pressing R2 and X, one can slow down the attack of the opponent. When the players are properly positioned along with the attacker, a well-timed pressing of X- button can be used to tackle the attacker and gain the possession of the ball. Pro Evolution Soccer 2013, 360 degree control has been for the player. Using this control system, one can tackle the player with possession of ball when in parallel position. Goal keeper controlling is more improved than previous games. Power gauge will be more accurate and descriptive for goal keeper to provide an Counter Attack from goalkeepers.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 will provide better individuality in players, their attributes and movements. This will make it easy for the player to recognize their favorite players from the whole crowd. Every player will have its own signature attributes, tricks and skills that will define their personality according to real life. Every player will have their own style of shooting, taking penalty and free kicks, dribbling, tackling, handling the ball, trapping the ball, celebrations and reactions too. Due to individuality of the player you will now notice that many top class defenders will use aerial dominance of physicality to gain the possession of ball from the attacker.

This individuality will also be applied on goalkeepers who can be noticed according to their positioning between the goalpost and preparation for receiving a shot. The realism in the behavior of goalkeepers will also define how they will stop an attack, that is by running towards the attacker when he comes near the penalty box or fling themselves at the ball. Thus you will see Jose Reina from Liverpool will more often throw ball using hand than kick it with leg. Also the acrobatic skills and limitations of the goalkeeper will be made different for every goal keeper.

this game has also a system called ‘ProActive AI’ which will add realism to the game style and movements of AI. In previous game in this series, it was noted that most of the times, nearest AI player to the user controlled player will just run up to him before trying to tackle or try to gain possession. AI would just play illogically rather than using tactics and tricks to make the user get into trap. This was pointed out by many users to the developers. Thus, now in Pro Evolution Soccer 2013, AI will adapt their gameplay according to the gamestyle of the user’s team. Substitutions by AI and the change in gameplan formation will be more logical tan just for sake of maintaining the realism in the game. To achieve this realism along with tactics, the AI will be seen maintain balance between their attacks and defense. AI will be seen playing with a better organization and co-ordination which will result in hard to beat defense line. The development in goal keeping has been said to be a great improvement by fans of Pro Evolution Soccer. Goal Keeper will now respond with better reaction and will focus on saving ball depending on the danger in the penalty box.

It will increase the connectivity and communication among the players using the myPES application on Facebook. Also the audio of this game have variation with amount of crowd different for different teas based on their popularity. The sounds in the game will be made to match the sounds that in the real match. Also the cheering of the crowd will change the pressure and the way a team performs.
