As Steve McCaskill over on the pocketgamer.co.uk website recently noted, the Konami-developed game – which is now available to download for £3.99 / $4.99 – promises the most advanced player and team AI compared to all its rival football games, as well as unrivalled graphics and realism.

Thanks to its Trueflow control system, the Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 game will cater for gamers of all standards. The Trueflow control system uses the phone’s accelerometer to aid beginners, while more advanced gamers are given complete freedom.

The game – which as you know includes classic teams such as England, Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Netherlands, Germany and France – also comes with Xbox Live achievements. It even comes with online leaderboards, enabling players to show off their skills to their mates.

Are you a fan of the Pro Evolution Soccer games? If so, do you own the PES 2011 game on more than one platform?

Amongst the new additions, BG247 says that you will find new kits for Spain and Sweden as well as 10 new boot styles that come from major brands who contribute to PES 2011.

To go with the new datapack, which is now labelled as version 3, two new screenshots have appeared on IGN. You can see both of these below.

Since PES 2011′s launch in October 2010, updates have been very frequent and have included updates to kits, and boots such as the Nike CTR360 “Control”, Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly II “Speed”, Nike T90 Laser III “Accuracy”, and Nike Tiempo “Touch”.

The downloadable content is set to be released on March 15 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Of all the updates so far, do you think that PES 2011 is still lacking in certain areas? If there was anything you would like to add to the game, what would it be? Maybe you are a straight-up FIFA player instead, but why?

According to VG247 the release date has been set in line with the 3DS’ European release date on March 25, the Nintendo 3DS arrives in America on 27 March. Some people say that the 3D capabilities will add depth and realism to the game, hopefully it will the game a more crisp feel when driving the ball from one end of the pitch to the other.

There is no word yet from the guys over at EA who create FIFA soccer games however. We do not know if they will compete with the PES series (as has been the case for many years), however FIFA fans would undoubtedly welcome a 3D version of the game.

Over the past few years it may seem that FIFA is the stronger of the two sides however that does not cut Pro Evo out of the game just yet. Pro Evo will benefit greatly from getting in the market quicker and as the FIFA games normally arrive towards the later period of the year, it will give PES a longer time to get ahead of its rival and really make a good start on sales.

Will you be buying your copy or will you wait for the next FIFA instalment?

According to a recent article by Tamoor Hussain at computerandvideogames.com, Konami has just announced that they will be releasing a free DLC pack for the PES 2011 game on December 21st, which will be available for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC gamers.

The upcoming pack will provide updates for 12 kits for teams including several French clubs and the Irish national team. The downloadable content will also feature the addition of ten new licensed boot types from names such as Umbro, Puma, Mizuno and Adidas.

It appears that the PS3 version of PES 2011 will be receiving an update next week as well, which is said to also be arriving on December 21st. According to Christopher Rick at gamersdailynews.com, the new update will include a number of gameplay improvements.

What do you think of the new DLC pack that will be available for download next week?

The first thing that you need to know is that all teams will now have the most up-to-date rosters, meaning that all those summer signings will now show up for each team. That is not the only update from the first patch, there are also updates to kits – and we all know how often they change.

According to Ben Parfitt from MCV, another much-needed update is to the groupings from the Champions League, as well as four more teams being licensed to the game, which will certainly be a welcome addition to fans of the sport and the game.

This best news of all is that this downloadable content will be free, so you had better be ready on Tuesday to download. What other features would you like to see updated?

Although the PES 2011 and FIFA 11 video games are not due to be released until next month, FIFA 11 on the 1st, followed by Pro Evolution 2011 a week later, fans can still try out both games via the recently released demos from PSN store and Xbox Live.

When you have downloaded your Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 demo, you can test your skills and play as either Bayern Munich or Barcelona. The FIFA 11 demo allows you to play at many places including the Bernabeu as either the Barcelona or Chelsea team in two 3-minute halves. You also get additional gameplay options such as a new Personality+ feature.

What demo have you downloaded and tried your skills on? Was it PES Pro Evolution 2011 or FIFA 11? Maybe you even downloaded both, if so which one of them was your favorite?

According to Konami, PES 2011 will go on sale in Europe on September 30, which is just one day before EA Sports release their PS3, 360, Wii, DS, PSP and PS2 versions of FIFA 11.

For some other reason, the UK will have to wait until October 8 for a PES 2011 release that is scheduled to come out for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

PS2, PSP and Wii gamers who are interesting in purchasing will have to wait until an unspecified date that will come along sometime in October.

So the question is, who will win the game? FIFA or PES? Guess we will have to wait until kick-off time to find out. Which one will you buy?

As reported from VG247, the game is due out on multi-platform this fall and the new screenshots have come to us courtesy of All Games Beta.

The game is looking pretty good – although we said that about last year’s affair, and we all know how that turned out. Hopefully PES 2011 will leapfrog EA’s FIFA 2011 as the big daddy on home consoles this time around.

Check out the screenshots through the link, there is a video below showing some gameplay from the PC version.
