I asked playing PES 2011 cracked one on Linux and got a reply that cracks are not supported on linux. Any other way I can play PES 2011 than?

The wine development is mainly backed by a Company, Codeweavers, subject to US laws. You can't expect them and the wine project to support cracks.

I'm assuming, that you own a legal copy. Seems, the game worked with a older wine version:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=22146
There's no crack mentioned. A regression test might be interesting, of course with a uncracked game.

If you can't or don't want to go back to older wine versions, and still want to play the game on linux, you might consider installing Windows in VMware Player.

Looking at the appdb entry, before going back to older wine versions, you may also try a command like "winetricks d3dx9", which installs some dx9 dlls. And regarding VMware Player, I'm not 100% sure about its DX 9.0c compatibility, I used VMware Workstation in the past, which isn't exactly the same.
