Konami, on the other hand, has the essence of the game but has lagged seriously in the presentation and control aspects. Its, frankly, never had proper presentation and the controls are simply dated. That's the problem for fans right now......FIFA has a better animation/collision engine, but still doesn't "feel" like a proper footie sim. Konami has the "feel", but the controls and animations desperately need work. Neither game is really hitting all of the marks right now. FIFA 10/WC was a big step in the right direction and hopefully PES 2011 will do the same. It is good to see the sport getting the proper attention from both companies, and both products are becoming better for it.

Hit the nail on the head about both games right there!

Not only that but most importantly FIFA has the licenses. Combine that with some very unique online modes and it's going to take Konami spending some $$$ to get back it's place.

we have to be able to create 100+ teams and ML must support 20 team second divisions

anything less and its still not going to have the full league feel of the competition....

2 other things I hope are fixed in pes 2011, is the constant ping pong passing that the cpu does on their own side of the field which boosts their possession time. Also, make the game more difficult on the harder levels by implementing better strategy and cpu AI. Don't make it harder by just giving the cpu a boost in speed and letting them foul us at will without being called for it.

wow... whoever wrote that did a great job of impressing me!

that was the biggest hype to sports game I have read dating back to WSB on the Dreamcast I think. LOL

seriously.. if all what that is true... I will be so excited.

master league online sounds like the most addicting sports game online right off the bat.. finally there will be no playing barca and chelsea every time online...

I just worry about the pure gameplay though first.. that's what made PES so great to begin with.. if konami can recapture that.. not only was it the best footie game.. but it was by far the best sports game gameplay wise to own.

The press embargo ends on june 1st, so we should be getting lots of screens and previews next week.

Konami flew tons of press to Tokyo over the last few weeks so they must be excited to show what they have so far.

Can't wait to see what they have done. Judging from a leaked pic, there is now a shooting meter underneath the player in possesion. Very interesting.

Exactly, all the hype means zero if the game plays like sht.

How the hell did I miss this:

• Master League Online: Master League will offer an all-new challenge, as users are invited to try their hand against other managers online. PES 2011 will mark the online debut for its much-loved Master League element, with players bidding against each other for the world’s best players, and attempting to build a squad that can compete with the best against online peers all over the globe.

That is HUGE news!!!
