By looking at key facets of modern football, the PES
Productions Team has completely reworked how the
game performs key sections. The shooting and goal-
keeping mechanics benefit from a new system that
allows precise aim and control over a shot’s power
and also unlimited shot styles. Similarly, the ‘ keepers
intuitively close angles and are capable of an amazing
number of ways to react to any situation. Passing and
the final ball to the front line has also been expanded,
allowing for little knock-ons and powerful daisy-cutter
passes that use new physics routines to ensure the
ball realistically behaves as it would. Close control also
steps up a gear, with the player governing both the
positioning of a player, but with greater options of how
to dribble into space or beat your marker.
