Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 Patch

Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 gave players a much more direct gameplay experience than other titles on the market at the time of release. Like all games, the initial release had a few rough edges. The Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 patch helped to address these issues so that gameplay is smoother and more challenging. Although the patch does not appear to do much, it does make a major difference. One issue to be aware of is that the installer can take a long time to apply the patch. This makes it seems as if the downloader has frozen when it is really just processing the data.

One of the main fixes in the patch is an update to the code handling multiplayer matches. There were previous disconnection problems when changing matches or after certain events. The patch reworks the disconnection process so that players are not dropped from a match or room without warning.

The Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 patch deals with updating the artificial intelligence (AI) routines for the in-game players. There were minor issues with some AI players chasing balls at the wrong time or improperly defending the net. The changes also refine how the AI behaves when told to hold a position. The patch improves the AI of all players on the field.

Another portion of the Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 patch is focused on rebalancing certain aspects of the game. It specifically addresses how skills like the sideways dribble and rainbow flick were overpowered and could be exploited during multiplayer matches. There were also a few changes made to help ensure better balance during harder AI matches.

The patch included a handful of data updates and cosmetic changes. The patch added the data from trades and new player statistics during the 2011 season. It also changed the audio chants that certain groups of AI fans used to support specific teams. The changes made by the Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 patch improve overall gameplay.
