Product Description
PES 2012 continues KONAMI's commitment to work with PES and football fans to develop a realistic, engaging and playable representation of this great sport. The focus in PES 2012 is on the new, instinctive gameplay and teamwork. Shingo "Seabass" Takatsuka and his Tokyo team wanted to recreate the essence of modern football when developing PES 2012. For example, the artificial intelligence (AI) in the game has been overhauled - as a result, players feel more than ever like they are part of a real team.
Cristiano Ronaldo kicks off! The midfield ace is the new cover star and at the same time symbolizes the many innovations and improvements in PES 2012. The new cover shows the Real Madrid magician and stands for the many improvements and gameplay options that make PES 2012: complete control over the action on the pitch, whether with or without the ball. "I am honored that KONAMI has chosen me as the face of PES 2012," said Real Madrid's number 7. “PES 2012 is the perfect image of football for me. It perfectly captures the way teams work together to create attacks - whether it's creating space or breaking through the defense. I believe that anyone who plays this title will have a better understanding of how football works and how players work as a team. Football is never about one player, it's always about the team. PES 2012 proves that better than any other game."
In addition, KONAMI is continuing its close partnership with UEFA, which means that the PES series exclusively offers the UEFA Champions League™, UEFA Europa League™ and UEFA Super Cup™ video and computer game licenses. In PES 2012, even the referees and their assistants now whistle the corresponding matches in UEFA Champions LeagueTM jerseys.
Attacking is an essential part of PES 2012, with the new game benefiting from a more open gameplay and improved AI that allows players to use their team even more precisely in duels. Positional defense has also been massively improved, so players now have to work even harder to break through the opposition's defense. In addition, the new Teammate Control Feature allows you to take control of a second player on the field at any time, thus perfectly coordinating every game situation. The result is a game that captures the key characteristics and attributes of the world's greatest players better than ever before without sacrificing the game balance or allowing individual top players to move around the pitch unchallenged. Combined with significantly improved animations, even more detailed lighting effects, extended player playing styles, improved set pieces, extended tactical features and customizable pass settings, PES 2012 captures the essence of modern top-flight football.
