Pulling the left trigger brings up a directional arrow that can be moved 360 degrees, with the weight of the pass decided by pressing either the A or B button. When doing so the skill level of the player you’re controlling, the speed they are running at and direction they are facing are all taken into account to decide how accurate the outcome is. Some bits of skill do take practice, and at times they do frustrate, but once you have them under your thumbs, there is great satisfaction to be had when out on the pitch.Īll of the new found ball control is down to PES’ new “PES Full Control” feature which allows for players to put the ball anywhere they wish – at any height, speed or direction.
I jumped straight into a match like a clumsy centre back, assuming I would know how to play, and whilst the game was fun, it wasn’t until I revisited the training games, that I could fully appreciate just how much freedom there is on offer.
When you first start the game, I’d strongly suggest a run through the game’s training/tutorials, where you will learn some of the new techniques on offer. This is mainly down to the hugely revamped control system that allows you to have total control over the direction and weight of every shot and pass. The lightning fast pace seen in has been reduced to a more natural speed, allowing players more freedom and a far greater sense of control when on the ball.
Within the first few minutes of gameplay, It’s clear to see that PES 2013 has rediscovered it’s form. Before we begin, I’d like to just clarify that it’s been a good number of years since I have spent any real amount of time with any PES game, and although I try out the demo each year hoping for a return to the franchises glory days on the PS2, I normally end up feeling let down and return to playing FIFA.
