A.C. MILAN vs FC BAYERN MUNCHEN | PES 2013 GAMEPLAY | VARPEX NOSTALGIA GAMING
No, it still doesn't come close to matching FIFA on features or graphical splendor, but when it comes to those unforgettable moments of edge-of-your-seat sporting drama, PES 2013 is sublime.
Its learning curve is steeper than ever, thanks to an overhaul of its defense system, and the introduction of some highly technical moves.
Like Tactical Defending in FIFA, the new defense system replaces the run-and-gun, automated tackles of old with thoughtful jockeying and tactical positioning. While it's simple to use--holding the opposition and ducking in for a sneaky, well-timed tackle are performed with the same button--nailing the correct timing for a tackle is very tricky, and takes a hefty amount of practice.
The payoff is a defensive system that's more natural, more compelling, and far less frustrating in multiplayer matches than before.
Similarly compelling are PES 13's new player moves, which see a return to the technically challenging, well-timed commands of old.
The improved dribbling system lets you hold the ball in front of players, teasing it with the left analogue stick to manoeuvre your way past defensive lines, while deft button presses let you volley the ball over the opposition's head in a gloriously cocky display of skill.
Many moves make use of the triggers as a modifier, letting you turn regular passes into lofted passes and regular shots into controlled shots, and giving you manual control over the direction of your kicks, complete with a neat arrow beneath your player to point him in the right direction.
Improved AI means players react better, making more intelligent runs for you to slip a cheeky through ball to, or jostling attackers as you sprint back to defense from an unfortunately timed shot.
The pace has been slowed down slightly, giving you more control over your players and the flow of the match.
The once genre-leading Become a Legend and Master League remain untouched too, and while it's still fun to guide a player through his career or perform the duties of a manager, the dreary visuals and outdated transfer system make them far less appealing than they used to be.
There's also little to celebrate online, with the same ranked and unranked matches available as in past years.
The only change here is that playing online now earns items that can be used in the offline Become a Legend and Master League modes, allowing you to modify your players' stats.
It's a nice feature to have, and certainly makes online play a little more rewarding, but it's hardly the full makeover the online multiplayer sorely needs.
Still, while its presentation and game modes fall further behind the competition, PES 13 has made improvements where it really counts.
There's a fabulously entertaining football game at its heart, one that finally lives up to the high standards of the PES games of old.
