Konami has released the first screenshots of Pro Evolution Soccer 2012, giving fans a looks at the visual improvements to this years entry.

PES 2012 builds upon the franchise’s strengths adding new manuevers and animations. The jostling system used in last year’s game has been reworked offering “proper bodily contact and physical reactions, while close control and the team AI has been reworked to provide a more realistic recreation of real football.”

Also, players will find dribbling to be more refined with passing, with AI in computer opponents getting an upgrade as well.

PES 2012 releases later this year for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Check out the screenshots below.
