- The "True" AI: Modern football games often feel like you are fighting the game engine (scripting/momentum). PES 2012 feels different. It is arcade-like, fast, and responsive. The AI makes runs that are logical, yet the defense is not superhuman. It is arguably the last PES title where "handball" physics and player weight felt heavy and satisfying without becoming sluggish.
- The Off-The-Ball Control: This was the flagship feature of PES 2012. It allowed you to control a second player making a run while holding the ball with the first. It was revolutionary at the time and remains a joy to use, breaking down parked buses with ease.
- The Goalkeepers: They were criticized in 2011; in 2012, they were refined. While they occasionally parry the ball back into danger, they feel organic. They make mistakes that feel like human error rather than coded "momentum" scripting.
