Just got my copy. Man Utd and Liverpool are the licensed teams from the Premiership again this year. Anfield is also in the game! Full Spanish, French, Italian and........ GERMAN leagues! The full team rosters are to be confirmed (ie the other leagues section: Rangers, Celtic, Spartak Moscow etc...) Another snippet people might like to know is that when EA's contract expires with the Premierleague, they might decide to share the licence with Konami. This is by no way confirmed, just a possibility. I'll leave the rest for you lot to find out for yourselves!!

Here is some news from PSM3: * Champions League will be playable online * New tatics system called tatics slider focusing on player support | support range | compactnes | defensive line | pressing attacking style | defensive strategy. The slider works on a 0-100 scale. * New card system replacing the old player ability stars * Team mates will flood the box if Beckham for eg is about to cross the ball as opposed to a player with less skills in crossing. * Defenders can be zoned individually or instructed to push on * BAL created players can be added to master league * Player comparisons (between 2009 and 2010) are very impressive players shown Torres | Gerrard | Alonso | Messi | Eto'o | Xavi | Iniesta * There shall be no Konami ID used for 2010 * The online system used in Pro Evo 6 will be used and enhanced they have finally dropped 2008 | 2009's online system * No visible loading times * Loop headers are in * Ability to auto-select team members by condition | ability and balance * More balanced refs which also use the advantage rule * AI no longer makes automatic tackling | shooting decisions Enjoy. I hope it's okay to post this here.

hopefully the animation is fixed, I can't stand the way the ball sticks and those stupid long shorts.

I am considering giving PES a look this year again after ignoring it last year for the first time in ages. The only thing that doesn't look appealing to me from those features is the speed of the game, since I considered FIFA 09 to be quite fast, even on the slow setting. Maybe it's the small size of the pitch in FIFA, but I prefer a more methodical pace to the game rather than non stop action. We'll see how it turns out, definitely interested.

I agree with the animation. I didn't like it either. Hopefully it is fixed.

I wonder if during implementation of the new features if anyone at Konami figured out how to keep your defenders in position instead of having CBs chase mids down the wings....or if that ridiculous you or I just scored a goal so now it's my/your turn AI.

* Much less time on the ball even tho it is slower especially when playing against teams using a DMC for example

Oh good - one thing I hate about PES is how the opponents never constantly press you all game :P

Are you kidding? Go play the demo of FIFA 09 and tell me that's not a basketball game on grass with a leather ball. Much, much too fast. I always thought PES was slower than FIFA, not the other way around...?

I'd like to see better AI teammate defender positioning, less "rubber band" CPU opponents, more realistic kit shapes (the shorts especially), smoother animations and animated transitions, and less defensive-third opponent pressure (i.e. less CPU pressure when you own the ball in your defensive third).

In the meantime, I'm having an absolute blast with PES 2009 for the Wii! I tweaked the gameplay to more closely simulate what I believe to be "real" football. Better defenders and goalkeepers, more fouls, lower scores, etc. If anybody's interested in my adjustments, just PM me!
