PES 2012: Control all the details on Teammate


After the announcement and the new video on how to instruct teammates in PES 2012 this morning, Konami has now released the complete Press Release in Italian where you can read all the details of the new system. I will propose below.
PES 2012: Control of players revolutionary
The new feature developed by KONAMI Teammate Control allows you to control two players at a time
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has revealed some new features of PES 2012 will offer gamers control the action on the pitch never before seen in a football simulation. Teammate Control the new system - which gives the user complete control of a secondary player, while the main one is in possession of the ball - is extraordinary evolution for the series.
Konami has just presented the Off The Ball Control (no ball), a completely new selection of the player, whereby any teammate can be selected and controlled directly into a scheme of attack or defense. Teammate Control system, however, provides players with PES 2012, a total freedom of action in all areas. Teammate Control System can be used in two modes, Assisted and Manual and is activated by using the right analog stick while pressing in the direction of the player you want to control. The Guided mode offers the user the ability to fire a second player by pressing the R3 button, allowing the user entries in the race with a more effective level of control. Manual mode provides a greater level of control: here the user has complete control and freedom of movement of the second player who can decide to take quick snapshots, insertions and discard your opponents before you call the transition from the ball carrier. The user can then restore the control of the CPU player to release the R3 button, and can also use the key to any move to change the Active AI (Artificial Intelligence Turns) is doing to make the player. In both cases, players may take any action without waiting for the transition is completed.
PES 2012 has added a host of new elements of Artificial Intelligence to ensure that the action closely mirrored those in the field of football played at the highest levels. The Active AI makes sure that players check the attackers opponents more effectively, without compromising the team training, close combat situations while offering greater control, defenders are pressing to repossess the ball as well as the attackers can Instead, use feints and moves with the upper part of the body to distance itself and displace opponents.
Shingo "Seabass" Takatsuka, producer of the series, and the development team in Tokyo have also confirmed a second group of interesting innovations, many of which were added following the advice of football fans and PES worldwide. Punishments and penalties in PES 2012, for example, have been completely reprogrammed and now the view of the room is positioned behind the player who is going to pull so that the user can determine more precisely the power and direction of every kick. The shots have been improved, taking into account the characteristics of each player, timing, ball speed and position of the body of the player than the ball coming in order to make the action more realistic. Also returning are the fake that allow the player to score goals even more spectacular misleading and wrong-footing the goalkeeper.
In addition to these new movements on the shooting, the entire sector on the responsiveness of the players has been heavily improved. The players' reaction times were significantly reduced and the overall improvements of animations, with sudden stops and quick changes of touch the ball led to an increase of three frames in response time, which means that players will be faster in pursuit of ball, running or smarcatura by a defender.
The speed with which the players run and change direction has been increased, making the movements more fluid and natural. Basically, you do not completely lose control when you lose possession of the ball, allowing players to, where possible, to quickly retrieve the ball and quickly close the spaces in the back.
All skills of the players can now be improved with the return of the much-loved mode "Training Challenge". An important and valued tradition of PES, Training Challenge offers the player a series of challenges designed to hone a variety of techniques. This mode allows the user to the attack and defense to work hard to improve their skills. Similarly, there are tests of dribbling, challenges where you have to hit a series of objectives and exercises for free kicks, all of which allow the user to improve their skills and then make a difference on the football field.
The graphics of PES 2012 has been further refined, with players' movements more fluid than ever and with incredible attention to detail. The level of graphical detail of finishing is such that players can see you sweat, your neck muscles tense and when they call ball or shout to each other, and the facial muscles contract around the mouth and eyes to show the emotions that the players are trying during the game. This is further enhanced thanks to dynamic lighting that creates shadows and shows the perspective from the eyes of game players in real time. And thanks to the renewal of exclusive rights and license UEFA UEFA Champions LeagueTM LeagueTM also the referees, who will head the matches of these competitions, wearing the official uniform UEFA
The attention to detail also extends to everything surrounding the game. Players warm up before the match, the experts prepare the soccer field while the players wait in the tunnel and coaches scrutinize every action from the bench. Players who collect the ball waiting for a throw and physicality in general have been improved, with players of different reactions depending on the violence of the conflict with the enemy, with falls and loss of balance.
"The additional system Teammate Control is something that we were already working for a while 'time, and we are delighted that PES will make its debut in 2012," commented Jon Murphy, PES European Team Leader for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. "We have worked to build a control system that would allow players to really do what they wanted on the field, and the ability to manually control a second player, simultaneously to the action that is being carried out, an endless array of options open d ' attack. I believe that with what we have just described and the improvements of the Active AI, which allows players to support the action shots forward and insertions, we made a big step forward in realizing the most advanced soccer simulation game available today. "
"This is the beginning of a new era for PES," added Murphy. "In the coming weeks will reveal more details on the evolution of the much-loved Master League, and also the new face of the series. With the exponential evolution of PES, it is time for a new face of high profile football skills. In fact, the new ambassador has all the attributes of the new game, a player is strong, capable, fast and able to do magic on the football field. We spent three fantastic years with Lionel Messi and we thank him for his commitment and support. He played a key role in the evolution of the series and we wish him the best for his football career.
