There are a few gameplay enhancements in this year's version that I'll get into on the next slide. The ball still doesn't seem to have the life and bounce that it should. This is an ever so slight issue with PES. It isn't that the imperfect renders make the players completely unrecognizable, it just isn't as accurate as it could be. The Rooney and Silva images are a little off the mark, but Ronaldinho's image was spot-on. Here are few examples of face renders from the game:Īs you can see the blemishes and marks were included, but the inconsistencies in accuracy can be seen as well. They feature solid complexions on all or most, but there are a few renders that simply don't look as much like their real life likeness. When the facial renders are nailed in Konami's title, it is eerily accurate. I'm trying to keep the direct comparisons to FIFA to a minimum, but I must make note of the accuracy here. The faces of the players are done pretty well in most instances. There just isn't anything special that stands out here. That said, the player models are at least at the level gamers would expect. This isn't a major snafu, but it is noticeable during closeups, of which PES 2013 offers plenty. The torsos seem to stay a bit too upright and stiff at all times, and a little variance in the sway of the player's arms while running could make the motions appear more natural.

In some instances the animations are a bit too choppy.

Nothing about the player models are ugly, there are just a few things that could be rendered better, pertaining to proportion. Some of the players do appear a tad too short and squatty, but this is more of a stylistic preference than an actual issue. The player models are solid down to varying sized calves and head shapes. Since the most practical camera views are set away from the action, world football offers the most TV-style appeal of any sport in a video game. The lighting effects accurately depict gloomy days on the pitch as well as bright and sunny ones. From a distance PES 2013 is quite attractive.
