Over the last two years, it felt like PES was experimenting while trying to find its own identity all over again. PES 2011 brought in more realistic presentation and physics that were tinged with a slightly old school arcade intensity. PES 2012 built on these foundations, but placed more of an emphasis on the player’s attacking game while ramping up the pace in matches. PES 2013 fuses all of these elements with a lethal degree of precision. It scales back the pace from last year while gifting the player with Rasputin-like control over the ball at their player’s feet. The result is a game that is neither simulation nor arcade but a subtle blend of the two, with a control system about as deep as an arcade fighter.
Now before the uninitiated start running for the hills, it’s worth pointing out that despite offering considerable depth in its controls, PES 2013 is still very accessible. Even before players head into their first match, the game suggests they take part in a list of mini-game tutorials in order to get to grips with the controls. Here, they’ll learn that taking a penalty is pretty laughably easy, but trapping a lob or heel-flicking a pass over their shoulder takes a certain degree of finesse. It’s really worth taking the time to practice your on-the-ball skills – even if players find they have to drop the game’s overall difficulty to Beginner level and beat up on the AI for a bit to do so.
The reason for this is that to truly get the most out of PES 2013, one must give themselves over to it. Newbies and FIFA stalwarts face a bit of a learning curve, but players who are prepared to explore the depth of the game’s control system and take their experience beyond mere button-bashing and lame attempts to out-position opponents will truly come to love this game. It’s possible to still enjoy it if all you want is a kick about on low difficulty, but it’s kind of like driving a Ferrari and never letting the throttle out. Oh, and you’ll get pasted by more committed players in head-to-head matches.
On the pitch action has been tweaked by the addition of what Konami is calling PES Full Control, a feature aimed at giving players the ability to put the ball exactly where they want it on the pitch – at any height, speed or direction. This allows for deft manual passing; by pulling in L2, players can ping the ball in any direction in a full 360-degree arch, and govern the distance of said pass depending on how long they depress the triangle or circle button. Naturally, the direction they’re facing, the skill level of the player they’re controlling and the momentum of that player’s run are all brought to bear on the outcome.
Konami has given the player control of their teammates as well; by clicking in the right stick, players can have teammates break off from the player marking them on throw-ins, as well as charge into space to receive a pass. The latter move is particularly useful on the attack as players can send teammates on dummy runs to peel defenders off the man with the ball, creating more space for the attack.
On defence, hounding the player with the ball is the safest option. Double clicking the X-button is an effective way of snagging the ball from an attacker’s feet as the match referees are still a bit whistle-happy and will blow players up for any tackle that isn’t executed with laser-guided timing. Remember – don’t perform a slide tackle unless you’re sure of your target.
The game’s AI on both defence and attack has seen some marked improvement – although the top tier teams are able to catch defenders on the break perhaps a little too easy and a little too often. If they get back in time, however, players will see their teammates moving to cut out passes for through balls, while their opponents do their best to create space in and around the box.
It makes sense for PES to focus on its on-pitch action because like any premiership club staring into Manchester City’s bottomless bank account, it has had to make peace with the fact it can’t compete on EA’s terms. The game’s presentation, while hardly lacklustre, is slightly clunky in places. Superstars like Messi and Ronaldo may look and move like their real-world counterparts, but in celebratory animations they look dead-eyed and their mouths flap like goldfish, while the crowd cheering them on look like cardboard cut-outs. The game’s soundtrack feels generic, and while the commentary from Jon Champion and Jim Beglin isn’t as bad as it was two or three years ago, it’s hardly engaging.
Similarly, the depth offered in PES 2013 outside the immediate gameplay isn’t exactly earth shattering. The Football Life mode returns from last year with an online component bundled in and the online mode is still just as fiddly as ever. There’s also a Champions League Tournament and Copa Libertadores club competition, which one can sink hours into. However, the usual licensing issues remain, and given how EA has incorporated the different leagues into FIFA’s Career Mode and EA Sports Football Club in the last couple of years, PES 2013 can’t help but seem hamstrung by comparison in this regard.
Konami’s vision of football feels divorced from reality in other ways. Sprint with the ball and it’ll ride back against your runner’s feet, relentless backspin killing almost all pace. Deliver an acceptable forward pass and chances are the eventual shot will be strangely scooped, too high and soft to trouble the keeper. PES determines the power of its kicks by the amount of time the button is held – I say ‘button’ because even the purest of PC purists should be using a pad – but the opportunity to accurately hit even a simple shot is seemingly measured in picoseconds. Tackling is similarly unsatisfying: players have a tendency to sashay past each other, not through individual foot-skill, but thanks to a strange ethereality that’ll suddenly place both the ball and its attached man on the other side of a defender. Great when it’s in your favour, infuriating when you were sure you had told your defender to slide just before that shot got away. These complaints sound damning – they’re not. PES responds best to players who’ve had hours honing their control with some of its more esoteric sub-systems, like the close control options that allow skilled ballsmiths to take it around other players, and it can be smooth and responsive enough to allow for beautiful, creative passages of play.
But they’re few and far between compared with the Barcelona-shirted FIFA elephant in the room. That game produces several moments of panic and elation a half; PES is lucky if it can bang out one in a game. FIFA also has the edge in performance: PES 2013 makes little use of the PC’s grunt, chugging out a muddy, bleak vision. Matches are littered with replays by default, demanding a visible loading time and two instances of the game’s logo per video.
There’s more than enough stuff to do in this year’s PES: knockout cups, online matches, a peculiarly weak training tutorial, even a licensed Champions League. But no matter how many menu options, there’s still only a slightly underwhelming representation of football at the end of them. Not copying the sport to the letter is fine, but Konami have lost the chaos and magic of football in their translation.
With PES 2013, Konami has finally pulled off the excellent game it's been threatening to release for the last couple of years. On the scale of dramatic football comebacks it's not quite up there with That Night in Barcelona or The Miracle of Istanbul, but it surely comes close. The first thing you notice is what you don't notice. Players are much less likely to ignore the ball as it glides past them within easy reach than they were in PES 2011 and 2012, and somebody's finally introduced the ball to Sir Isaac Newton, so it no longer behaves as though it's weaving through a cluster of dancing singularities, subject to random stabs of acceleration. At a basic level, it's as though all the dangling threads of unfinished programming have been knitted together into something approximating the actual sport.
This year's instalment gives you a much more responsive, consistent and productive range of basic controls, too. Passes along the ground are fast and accurate, there are driven and floated aerial passes, and a good first touch is down to a timely stab of the right trigger, injecting a bit of skill into receiving the ball.
You can do much more with the ball, too, and Konami has slowed the game down to emphasise this. You can put your foot on it and perform quick and easy little rollovers to keep control in tight spaces, you can flick it up and distribute it or knock it over a defender's head if he's right behind you, and you can experiment with fully manual passes and shots. A new controlled shot and driven 'Knuckle' shot gives you more attacking options as well.
One of the biggest changes comes in defence, where PES has now joined FIFA in switching from pressing to containment as the primary means of holding off the opposition. This means that you tend to defend by switching to an appropriate player and then staying goal-side of the man in possession, managing the distance between you with the analogue stick.
The onus is then on the attacker to go past you, either using the close-control buttons (or trying for a cheeky nutmeg) or dragging you out of position and exploiting that space. It's imagination versus patience and composure, as the player on the attack drops his shoulder or waits for supporting runs (or initiates them with team-mate controls) and the defender waits for a good moment to stick out a foot or uses a second defender to directly press the ball. (The slide tackle might as well be called The Yellow Card Button, and is all but forgotten except in desperate circumstances.)
These are strong fundamentals, then, although there are other areas that could still do with work. Relative player speeds still feel a bit unrealistic and the physical side of the game - while a great improvement - is nowhere near as developed as it is in FIFA. Heading arguably needs the most work, though - players are still rooted to the spot under the arc of goal kicks and it's too easy to lose 1-0 to the first corner you concede. It would be nice to be able to exert more control over players when the ball is in the air. Shooting isn't quite right either. The Knuckle shot is illustrative of the problem - it's a blasted shot that almost always hits the target, even when shooting directly from the kick-off, but rarely earns you more than a corner. For a football game, PES has always been bravely reluctant to let you actually score, but it still feels a little artificial.
Sure, you can now unlock new boots and buy special equipment that boosts player performance (I immediately bought a Mini Goal so that Luis Suarez could practice hitting the post), but elsewhere you still spend hours staring at boring calendars and load screens wondering how much of your life is going to be spent not playing the game. It could do with livening up, then, although there's still nothing else like it once you're under its spell.
The online side of PES 2013 allows you to dive into ranked and unranked matches or take part in the online Master League again. From the few games we've played so far, lag doesn't seem more or less of an issue than it has before, but obviously what happens to you may vary. Using your experience in previous instalments as a yardstick is probably sensible.
Elsewhere, the UEFA competitions and the Copa Libertadores are still licensed, although most of the teams and players in the game still aren't, and the training challenges still feel like a missed opportunity. You'll learn how to pull off most of the new tricks at your disposal, but you'll also spend ages swearing at the TV as practically identical attempts at things like the nutmeg shot are deemed failures or successes for no obvious reason. This mode could be amazing if given some proper attention.
Then again, PES is never particularly brilliant at this sort of thing, and in truth it doesn't matter. In its pomp, Konami did its talking on the pitch, and that's where PES 2013 rediscovers the series' form. FIFA may be at the height of its powers, a wonderful simulation of football at its most fluid and energetic, but PES 2013 is just as entertaining for different reasons.
It's about keeping possession, tracking runs, overloading full-backs, switching systems and the majesty of the well-contested nil-nil draw. Once you master the close-control trigger and start learning other button combos, it also reveals its flashy side. Just like the old days, you can't just pick it up and play it effectively, but if you persist then you'll discover something very special.
And that's fantastic news for football fans, because it puts us in a situation we've pretty much never encountered before, where FIFA and PES are both at the top of their game. Choose your favourite and have fun, or open your mind and buy both, because with PES now back to near its best this really is a golden era for football games. With the next-gen systems now on the horizon and Konami investing in a new UK development studio to support the series, this is a battle that can only get more interesting.
