Comments:
I hope they have really done some improvements to the gameplay, because PES2011 really SUCKS! It's unbelievable how any minor team in any league is just superior to the top ones, and you can shoot about 20 times in one single game at no avail, and then the PC just scores at the last minute. I know that may happen on real soccer, but when even the referee plays against you when you increase the difficulty, you know some stupid was in charge of the programming. Probably a computer genius, but he doesn't know anything about soccer and game experience. I mean, it should be a game, not a "frustration maker".
