Players who are prepared to explore the depth of PES 2013's control system will truly come to love this game.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D is a good soccer game. If you’re a fan of the sport, it’s worth picking up, especially if you’re familiar with the series. It just disappoints me that Konami didn’t put enough effort in to fix the issues that keep the game from being great.
Those accustomed with Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 need not fret; only laymen have no place here. The football game is as adaptable as ever. Still, all this versatility and entertaining differences in gameplay possibilities don’t take away that there are several issues within the core of the game. That alone negates any progress the game would make. A different choice in priorities could’ve made it even better than it is now. Yes, it’s still a good game. It’s unfortunately not all it can be, and it only has itself to blame for that.
Konami has done a good job refining some key areas in Pro Evolution Soccer - the tactical AI, in-depth controls and trick system provide some rigorous entertainment. However, it's getting hard to conceal the wrinkles in aging singleplayer and multiplayer modes, and the lack of graphical improvements and animations is starting to rear its head. These flaws chip away at what is still a very entertaining football game, but those who can see past problems will enjoy a challenging, heart-pumping sports game that, ironically, just needs a little bit of evolution.
