More tactical, less instinctive
We’ve been telling you from the beginning, and it was also a central theme, especially in the promotional campaign operated by Konami for this PES 2018 : realism.
Not only in graphic terms, which we will talk later, but also and above all about gameplay. After the great Real Touch, this year we go to Real Touch +, a feature upgrade introduced last year. This implementation results in an incredible improvement of the quality of the games, due to more credible contrasts, more reasonably priced players and more control.
In fact, each player will have different characteristics and movements based on his physicality: stop, passage, headshots and clashes with opponents; everything must be managed keeping in mind who we are using.
During the first matches, it will not be so obvious, but taking the pad and the control system you will learn how to master these features in the best way, making changes to your style of play that will allow you to experience really exciting games and, most importantly, , you will never lose control of the situation.
PES 2018 abandoned at least some of its historically stylistic stylistic figures and approaches a lot more to a reasoned experience, complicit even totally rewritten animations and a ball physics that seemed to us to be impeccable thanks to credible and well-managed trajectories. Then there are the movements, as anticipated totally renewed and now much more fluid and capable of returning feelings certainly much more realistic.
The key word is actually “Realism”: we have been repeating it many times and we have noticed it during our trials. The AI has also been greatly enhanced, especially at the highest levels of difficulty. At this juncture, the opposing teams seem to have their own conscience: they cover well positions, orchestrate lightning contraversies and impenetrable defensive systems.
In this sense, now marking will not be easier and will require reasoned action, complicit even the goalkeepers, sometimes real racers, especially at the superstar level. Also the referees are almost unbreakable: they do not go beyond the cards and do not invent fouls.
The new Pro Evolution gameplay is certainly the most successful aspect of a production that continues to improve year after year. This time the jump forward is perceptible and our long playing sessions have enjoyed us with the right level of challenge.
Finally, at the technical level, FOX Engine allows the title to impress an impressive look in terms of definition quality and contribution to creating the general sense of realism. The stadiums are magnificent, alive and motion capture players are simply impressive, as well as how great work is done on animations. It’s only a pity for the usual problem of lesser-known footballers, but it is a compromise if we want it to which we have now become accustomed, and we can judge with less severity because of a truly unique overall impact. with the right level of challenge.
