The first way 'PES 2012' accomplishes this is by giving more control over the speed and direction of passes, so that you can pass ahead of the play and allow teammates up the field to retrieve it once after breaking coverage. The gameplay is generally stronger and allows players to create more open space on the field. With defense playing more conservatively, the offense becomes more surgical with their passing to capitalize on defensive breakdowns. On defense, your teammates are more efficient at working together and will force opponents into mistakes rather than simply putting pressure on the opponent in possession and offensively, teammates will execute trickier plays like the give-and-go and also generate more movement and opportunities on their own. In particular, the AI is much smarter than before and will make more varied and thoughtful decisions. 'Pro Evolution Soccer 2012' refines the already realistic formula by addressing issues that tend to distract from the immersing elements of the game. When Konami set out to top their previous installment to the 'PES' series, they decided to improve upon the predecessor rather than rebuilding the game.
