The 2012 football season was one for the history books, captivating fans with thrilling matches across the globe, especially within Europe’s top leagues. All eyes were on FC Barcelona—could they break the long-standing curse and win the UEFA Champions League two years in a row? Or would they be overtaken by the relentless rise of Real Madrid, or the traditional powerhouses of English football like Manchester United and Chelsea? The individual rivalry was just as intense: after a record-shattering season, would Lionel Messi claim another Ballon d’Or, or would Cristiano Ronaldo finally reclaim the throne? It was a season brimming with anticipation.
*Pro Evolution Soccer 2012* throws you right into the heart of this excitement. At its core, it’s about guiding your team to victory within 90 minutes of intense football. The most noticeable leap from the 2011 edition is the dramatically improved AI. Your teammates now make intelligent, purposeful runs and can read the game to track back and mark opponents proactively—it feels like playing with a real team.
The graphics are also a clear step up, with incredibly smooth animations that bring every pass, tackle, and shot to life. The overall pace of matches is much faster than before, almost unrealistically so at times, with players moving at a breakneck speed. This speed also applies to shooting, with powerful long-range goals becoming a more frequent and slightly less realistic feature.
But don’t think scoring is easy. The defensive AI is ruthlessly smart. Defenders excel at intercepting crosses, cutting out through balls, and providing cover for one another. They rarely dive in recklessly, instead holding their shape to close down gaps and frustrate your attacks. It creates a challenging and satisfying tactical battle.
If you’re new to the game, there’s no need to feel overwhelmed. Konami includes a comprehensive training mode that walks you through all the essential skills before you step onto the pitch for a real match.
