WNB has posted their Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 hands-on impressions, based off of preview code.
This leads me onto a potential key element in PES 2013, and perhaps one element that could redefine the genre – dynamic one-twos. By pressing L1 + pass, you can then make the player who has just passed the ball move in any direction with a flick of the right stick. Doing so right now creates infinite possibilities in directing your attack, and allows you to change the run of the passer from simply moving forward. I say it’s potentially a gamechanger, because I feel it’s not been fleshed out as much as it could have been so far. While the movements are instant, it would be nice to have a variety of runs accesible through Player ID, and player traits. Someone like De Rossi for example might not want go get behind the defence with a one-two, and would rather dart along the field to create a shooting opportunity from far out. It’s impressive, but could potentially be a true selling point in the future.
The same can be said for Player ID. It’s been well documented, and still impresses. However, it currently equates to realistic movements over individual brilliance. As expected, players like Bale and Lennon move like their counter parts, but it’s not exclusive to just those people. Movements like the Iniesta side step or the Terry missile dive are seen being done by all the players, which I would rather not see. Player ID will no doubt be something that defines PES in the future, but I’m hoping to see more player exclusive mechanics. Such as Ronaldo, who is animated wonderfully. Every part of his repertoire is realised in PES 2013, and this attention to detail in all players is what will make it another gamechanger.
