Total Control: PES Productions has enhanced the 360-degree passing ratio, offering unprecedented levels of control over every pass, shot, throw-in, through ball and lofted through balls. This allows users to pass the ball into space, and move their play with total freedom. Players must precisely weight their passes and second-guess the runs of their team-mates and exploit their movement. Players even can apply pressure on opponents to force them off the ball.
Shot & Stamina Gauge: In addition to the generic power gauge, the Shot & Stamina meter details the player's exact level of fitness. Constantly sprinting will affect the player's movements and will have an adverse affect on his stats, with passes going awry and a loss of pace.
New Defender AI: Defenders now hold their positions naturally, no longer chasing any ball that enters their area - preferring to close down the attacker and force them into a mistake.
Animation and Player Physics: PES Productions has totally reworked every element of in-game animation. These additions will become clear before even kick-off, with the players enjoying fluid, natural movements, with more realistic acceleration and inertia than ever before. The physicality between players is also improved, which was a priority requested in PES forums. Jostling and blocking now looks stunning, while there is a larger variety of convincing tackling styles. Ambient animation also adds immensely to the in-game atmosphere, as players behave realistically when off the ball, and walk and run with a variety of individual styles.Speed of Play: The new level of control means that PES 2011 enjoys a more considered pace of play, which varies dependent on situations. The game will burst into life as counter-attacks come into play, but players can dictate the pace via slow build up or exploiting available space to surge forward.

    Pro evolution soccer 2011 is such fun. It feels totally natural to play, pass, kick, and defend. It feels instinctive to set up manoeuvres, such as dribbling and passing to score. Passing is so much more realistic than FIFA 11 as the game doesn't assume each pass is to go to the nearest player and means that if you make a mistake the ball does end up in empty space. This makes it feel much more like a real game. Tackling needs to be accurately timed and the referees are pretty stringent. What is great is that the defending does not rely on totally overpowering the opponent which can make the game a bit boring. Main let down is the delay in getting some of the real team licenses. FIFA 11 players may criticize the atmosphere as it is not as good but as far as gameplay goes, it is far superior.
