# Speed of Play: The new level of control means that PES 2011 enjoys a more considered pace of play, which varies dependent on situations.
Ambient animation also adds immensely to the in-game atmosphere, as players behave realistically when off the ball, and walk and run with a variety of individual styles. Jostling and blocking now looks stunning, while there is a larger variety of convincing tackling styles. The physicality between players is also improved, which was a priority requested in PES forums. These additions will become clear before even kick-off, with the players enjoying fluid, natural movements, with more realistic acceleration and inertia than ever before. # Animation and Player Physics: PES Productions has totally reworked every element of in-game animation. # New Defender AI: Defenders now hold their positions naturally, no longer chasing any ball that enters their area preferring to close down the attacker and force them into a mistake. Constantly sprinting will affect the player's movements and will have an adverse affect on his stats, with passes going awry and a loss of pace. # Shot & Stamina Gauge: In addition to the generic power gauge, the Shot & Stamina meter details the player's exact level of fitness. Players even can apply pressure on opponents to force them off the ball. Players must precisely weight their passes and second-guess the runs of their team-mates and exploit their movement. This allows users to pass the ball into space, and move their play with total freedom. # Total Control: PES Productions has enhanced the 360-degree passing ratio, offering unprecedented levels of control over every pass, shot, throw-in, through ball and lofted through balls.
