Cristiano Ronaldo performing the elastico trick in PES

The Elastico (known as the Flip-Flap and Akka also) is a football trick, which has been introduced into recent editions of the Pro Evolution Soccer series, after several European based footballers started using the move on a frequent basis. However the Elastico was only added as a hard-coded feature, meaning that players of PES, can not edit a players stats to enable the player being edited to be able to perform the Elastico (unlike the Rabona), but that Konami had programmed the move to certain players already in the game, and thus the Elastico is not able to be edited in via stat changes. Notable players to be able to perform the Elastico are Ronaldinho, Robinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Park Chu Young (In PES6), Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Royston Drenthe, Gabriel Obertan, Julio Arca, Obafemi Martins, Rodrigo Taddei, Fred, Diego Forlan, Juan Roman Riquelme, Naohiro Takahara, Karim Benzema, James Milner, Bakari Kone, Djibril Cisse, Christian Wilhelmsson, Mauro Rosales, Yoann Gourcuff (After February Update) and Rivelino (of Classic Brazil).

To make it easier to understand who can perform the trick, it is now a card that can be selected in the edit menu. This then makes only a few players capable of performing the trick.
