    Pro Evolution Soccer 2011's Goal is To Win Back the Hardcore


    Speaking to CVG in a recent interview, Marketing Manager, Jon Murphy, who's worked on the PES series since 1998, said the new Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 also needs to ensure is doesn't lose any more fans to rival footy games.

    "That's our strategy, plain and simple. What we now have is a benchmark from EA that we've got to beat, which is fine. It gives us a challenge. But that's not our ultimate aim. Our goal is not only to ensure we don't lose any more fans, but that we win back the hardcore fans. The rest of it - we'll see what happens."

    I think this might be the year I go back to PES.

    Online Master Leagues? I'm so there.
    Don't you EVER read my blog? It's gotten a lot better.

        If we can play 25 min games say, while still getting realistic scorelines ( not a bunch of 3-4 scorefests ), then i'd say we might have an actual sim again with some real defence and good player positioning , and not all the overpowered dribbling.

        As a fan going back 10 years, this is what would get me to stop editing and playing WE9, and get 2011.

          The thing that scares me the most is how bad their servers are online.

            That's a good point. As cool as the Online Master League sounds, PES over the years hasn't had the best online play. Hopefully they address this as well.

            There are two games that I'm sold on right now, F1 2010 is one, and PES is the other. Gonna be a long summer......

              This might be true, haven't played PES in a long, long time.

              Regardless, I will be getting it on the PC, so it probably doesn't matter to me.

                  I wish other sports genres were as competitive as soccer. It's clear that competition is pushing the devs of PES to make the best game possible this year. If onlyl American Football and baseball still had that. END EXCLUSIVE LICENSES!!!
                  According to my old marketing professor, satisfaction is when product performance meets or exceeds consumer expectation.

                    I don't think MLB games have an exclusive licence. The show and the 2k series both have the real players, no ?

                      In a way they do. Sony can only make a game for the PS3/PSP, so the large Xbox market is left only to 2K. It's not the same as Madden, but still not the best for the consumer in the end.

                        2K owns the MLB license, but first party developers are still allowed to use it. If Microsoft or Nintendo wanted to make their own game, they can.

                          I'll be there on PC with you. We'll have to play. You've gotta try Smoke Patch when he gets it out for '11. Best. mod. ever.
