Konami have revealed details of Pro Evolution Soccer 2011, promising that it will have some of the biggest changes that the series has seen.
New features included a new power bar for each player that allows the user to determine the exact strength and placement of every pass and shot. There will also be new and improved AI for defenders new player animation & physics and improved facial recognition to help improve player likeness.
Perhaps the biggest change though comes in the form of the Master League which will now also be playable online.
Jon Murphy, European PES Team Leader for Konami Digital Entertainment said of the new game,
It was time for PES to transform, and PES 2011 represents the most ambitious redesign in the series’ history. We’ve continued to work closely with the fans to pinpoint what it is about football that PES didn’t do. Total freedom was the priority and all-new animation a must. PES 2011 does both – indeed, they are directly linked to each other – and while the new game is recognisably PES at its heart, it is also the most radically improved version ever.
This is just the tip of the iceberg for PES 2011, we have some significant announcements still to come regarding game modes and gameplay functions.
