DESCRIPTION: Featuring Cristiano Ronaldo, PES 2013 returns to the series' roots. The new installment emphasizes the individual skills of the world's best players, offering players complete freedom to choose their own playing style. PES 2013 includes full shooting control for the first time. This new feature, developed with input from PES fans around the world, has enabled the creation of the most faithful and authentic translation of the game ever. Players perfectly embody the movements, skills, and playing style of their real-life counterparts. The new features and improvements in PES 2013 are based on three key components: PES FullControl, Player ID, and ProActive AI. PES FullControl (PES FC): Never before has a football video game offered this level of control over the ball and players! Total Freedom of Control: Pro Evolution Soccer introduced the concept of freedom of movement, but the new PES FC in PES 2013 goes further, providing total freedom of control over the ball. Dynamic First Touches: PES 2013 introduces multiple ways to receive the ball, from a simple stop with a quick tap to an attacker who has followed the play to a wide variety of other moves. First touch is crucial, and players can trap the ball using the R2 button to perfectly capitalize on a good pass and take immediate control, or use the pass to beat an opponent. Fully Manual Shooting and Passing: PES 2013 brings back manual passing and, for the first time, manual shooting, allowing users to determine the power and height of each individual shot. Long passes can be played anywhere on the pitch and players have complete control over the direction of the shot. Mastering these features obviously requires skill and precision, but it's also possible to pass into open areas of the pitch, allowing unmarked attackers to reach the ball and thus have a golden opportunity to score. Dribbling: The speed at which a player moves with the ball has been slowed in line with real-world matches. Using the R2 button, players can exploit their personal style in close control. It's also possible to vary your dribbling speed and trap the ball while moving freely in a 360-degree circle. The new system allows you to carry the ball forward and then retrieve it, nutmeg an opponent, or maintain control of the ball by shielding it while teammates free themselves and make runs. Fully manual one-two: Active one-two passes can be executed with the second player moving in any direction, thus facilitating various tactical movements. An Active Defense: Countering the attacking options offered by the new dribbling system is a beautifully balanced defensive system. Players can use the R2 and X buttons to slow down an attack, with a double tap of the X button requiring precise timing. Full 360-degree control means players can control runs and steal the ball from a parallel position, while a greater focus on individual attributes will see world-class defenders use their physicality in the air to win the ball. Goalkeepers: Goalkeepers also benefit from greater control, with even more precise passing abilities thanks to the addition of a power meter for throws, allowing them to be used more effectively for quick counterattacks. Player ID: Focuses on the individual attributes and movements each player can make: Greater Player Individuality: The best players in PES 2013 will be instantly recognizable through their incredible likeness to their real-life counterparts and a host of signature traits, abilities, and moves. The way they sprint, turn, block and control the ball.
