My Review on Pro Evolution Soccer 2013

PES 13 is the latest installment in the pro evolution soccer(Or Pro Evo) series which sees the game go back to what it was known for, What happens on the football pitch..along with some new great improvements which have seen the game go from been ridiculed for taking a step back last year to being back to almost the PES we know and loved.

Firstly i must admit that i became a PES fan after playing PES06 (I had been a stounge fifa boy before that), but PES at that time felt different, unique..& awesome, I loved it! but when PES09 came out my God what a dissapointment that was, it felt like being dumped by your 2nd girlfriend after believing that the relationship would go on for a long time. Things just went bad for PES after that..with 12 being significant. But alas hope arose, PES 13 is by far the Best PES i've ever played, the gameplay has been revamped, New types of shots, player graphics awesome as usual, goal keepers Retardedness levels aren't as ridiculous as they were before, new features like Nutmegging, player IDs & professional dribbling (Not that fifa thing of just rotating the right analog stick & Boom! Marseille roulette) but actual dribbling that might ACTUALLY happen in a real game, lets face it..even Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't do those fifa street like dribbles in real life(reference to fifa).

So after playing the game here are my Pros and Cons;

PROs:
- Awesome player graphics.
- The player ID thing was an amazing idea.
- Finese shots feel okay (Strange at times)
- It's somewhat not as easy to score from 30yards out as it was before
- Goal keepers seem more intelligent (despite a few moments of Epic retardness)
- The Master League & become a legend are still cool.
- The crowd ambiance is also great too.
- The AI is now slightly more intelligent
- Performance training is great but feels too short.

CONS:
- Only 13tracks in the game most of which are from old games like Contra, few of them are good.
- Jon Champion and Jim Beglin are still terrible.
- A few things were removed from the become a legend mode (like the photo gallery, which in my opinion was amazing).
- The running is cool but feels abit Robotic
- The licensing is too terrible (Netherlands with generic names?? Zambia the African champions with generic names?? Etc)
- The interface was abit lame compared to 12.
- Some moments in the game were players seem to not notice what the hell is going on.
- Keeper animations still unrealistic.
- Ronaldo is a superhuman.
- Players have no tackling Attribute?? WTF?

Despite all my positivity about the game, it still lacks ALOT! And hopefullt PES14 with a new game engine will be a whole lot better.
