The PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER game series has been recognized for its incredible realism and control. The PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 2011 edition brings significant improvements to the gameplay and control options, adapting the experience to modern soccer.

A central element of gameplay freedom is the power bar for each player, which allows the user to determine the strength and placement of each pass and shot. Balls can now be executed with precision, with long passes, short passes, and complex combinations that enable the player to guide direction and control the pace of the match.

This freedom is expanded through new artificial intelligence routines that place every move and decision in the hands of the players. Assisted artificial intelligence will no longer intervene during matches, and users will need to dynamically detect and respond to threats, rather than chasing the ball.

The control system is specifically designed to allow absolute control over every element of the game. The triangulation of passes and space creation using smart movements become paramount, and play-building yields great rewards. Furthermore, dribbling and close control are more difficult to master, and the days of fast runs through the center are gone as PES reflects realistic soccer.

The result is the most complete and realistic PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER to date, offering an advanced experience with the core philosophy of PES that includes skill and realism.
