![]() Overall, I wasn’t as comfortable using the nub since its natural resistance and sliding motions sometimes created unexpected player movements. Combine this with some poor defensive angles taken due to the imprecision of both the analog nub and the spotty AI, and PES fans will have to make some adjustments. Defensive coverage is slightly harder because defenders don’t back off as well as on the console version. However, this 3DS version also has some more serious gameplay flubs. I’m not terribly concerned about a few missing dribbling techniques. Unfortunately, the 3DS is missing two shoulder buttons, so it doesn’t have the kitchen sink of controls the series is known for. On the other end of the spectrum, this game attempts to replicate some of the sports’ sophistication on the pitch by offering feints (no linked feints like the console version, however) and other controls from the franchise’s arsenal. ![]() Perhaps that’s part of the beauty of the sport – its relatively simple at its core. Once you change out of the default, player-focused camera (which is horrible), Pro Evolution fans will immediately recognize much of the gameplay they’ve enjoyed on the big consoles. Intentions and execution, however, are different matters. Rather, I like how it attempts to be like its console brother – and actually goes some way to achieving this goal. Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 is one of the best representations of 3D on the handheld, but that’s not what I find interesting about the game itself.
