PES 2012 logo If you’ve downloaded the PES 2012 demo on your PC and don’t have a control pad then you might be wondering how the heck you play the game. For some reason, it looks as if Konami has neglected to include a guide to the keyboard controls in the PES 2012 demo.

Don’t worry, it is possible to control this year’s Pro Evolution Soccer offering with your keyboard (though it’s much easier with a pad, obviously). Here’s a short run-down of the buttons you need to bash in order to play this great new soccer game:

Button	Action
UP arrow	Move down
DOWN arrow	Move down
LEFT arrow	Move left
RIGHT arrow	Move right
D	Long pass
X	Short pass
W	Through pass
A	Shoot
Q	Cursor change
Q	Cursor change
E	Dash
Z	Strategy/Attack/Defend
C	Special controls
