OK, after 4 matches, some notes: (excuse me for my poor english, my mother tongue is spanish and some terms I don´t know how to translate them to english)

Ball Physics---PERFECT
Net Physics---PERFECT
Game Speed---PERFECT (slower than PES2008...now you have 1 nanosec more to plan your next move)
Pinball Effect---almost 0 (no more pressing X like a maniac :D)
Penalties---First time I saw computer´s goalkeeper stopping a penalty standing in the middle of the frame (in PES2008 all the penalties to the middle of the frame are 100% goals :( )
Computer using Through Ball---PERFECT....had 3 goals against because beautiful TB done by computer´s midfields at the back of my central defenders .....WOW

Sorry guys, have to go back to play :)
Damn, is 4 in the morning in Uruguay :(

Hi all,

theres only one thing i wana touch on,

looks like konami had fixed the graphics so that i can run on low end systems.

For those users with low end computers, they shld probably play with nice graphics and all, not like pes 2008 where u will play with an empty stadium and the jerseys of the players are all shadeless. I think konami has done a good job on this one. even tho its on low detail, i can see the crowds animations superbly done and the jersey shadows of the players moving according to the lighting and the movements perfectly. In terms of gameplay and all, no complaints. no game is perfect, but pes 2009 is definitely better than the previous pes 2008.

Better than fifa 09? well i cant say that but we have a strong competition when both games are fully out on the market :)

my first impression is that its definately better than PES2008 - its not perfect.

goalkeepers are still not that great

Speed is slower which is more realistic

Dribbling is still too easy - I shouldn't be able to always run from one side of the pitch to the other...these kind of runs should be rare.

Shooting looks like its got harder therefore much better than the arcadey shooting in PES2008

I like the new Menu presentation

Man Utd licenced!!

Passing has changed a bit - a little less ping pong football.

This is 1000% times better than that horrendous thing they call Fifa2009

I've been following other forums as well and people reported the fact that PES 2009 has been working better than PES6 on their systems with the same configurations. That means Konami finally managed to well optimize the game for our PC's. I think this is great.
My impressions about the game is mostly positive. Very entertaining and plays like real football. You can actually make plays! The pace is perfect.
One thing I don't like is the stupid GK's. They are absolutely better than last year's crap but still needs some work! Hopefully(I doubt) they will be fixed in the final release.

I give 9 out of 10 :)

PS: Forgot to mention about the looks of the game. The visuals are outstanding in the game! The grass is so real!!! Trust me these comments are coming from a pretty picky guy ;)

Hi
My iMpressions:

Physics are great: the way the ball moves, the player runs and how they interact with the ball... (9/10)

Nice Graphics: much more realistic than before. (9/10)

Controls:The 'C' button (AKA 'RT') is more effective, specially for slowing down the player. but I think the overall control system is very old and need recreation - look at FIFA09- (8/10)

Menus are $#@%&: simple menu, but simplicity at some point becomes noobicity. colors of the menu and the background looks weird. a 1st year graphics student would do a much better job :D (6/10)

AI:In general I don't play much against the AI, most of my matches are vs human, I played 2 games with AI, they end 0 - 0 both, but i likes the way my players move with me . (--/10)

Others: -When players are getting in the stadium you hear a horrible music !!
-The Ref still has many bugs: * finishes the game at any moment. * No foul is given if the ball is outside th
e pitch.
- Not all transfers are included.

Last word: Great !, but needs a lot of patching !! (8/10)

controls terrible in pes2009

the game does look pretty and i like the slow speed
but the control system is crap
not instinctive like seabass thought
stupid idea! d pad doing all!

i am a die hard pes fan but i think i just died .....fifa controls and looks are much improved! trick moves are fast and feel real ...like changing direction

also the actual animations are better in fifa despite the pes graphics being better
the worst thing about pes is the horrible looking motion of players running
they look like the skating or floatiing

like 5 yrs ago

it annoyed me so much that i actually stopped playing the demo and went back to fifa demo

[i aint touched a fifa game since 2000!!!!!] but now it looks as if i'm going back
i can't believe it

It's actually difficult to make me see that. Didn't Pes maker realize it for the past one year ? The model of shorts players are wearing look strange.

But the full version still not yet out, we should inform Konami. They still have time to improve it, even though it can be delayed for one more month. If not, just relying on our modders only

I totally agree with Segovia,they run like ROBOTS !!!
Ball control is a disast,when passing the ball,it doesnt look realistic

pes2008 and pes2009 is garbage,i will return to fifa after 8 years!
or go back to pes/we series on the ps2,much better than this garbage on the ps3

i still play pes6 and enjoy it

It's a shame to Konami! What happened with those guys???

It seems that what I was worried about some days ago is becoming true. You are the first ones to release negative comment on this year's PES version.

However, how about the guys who were let to play the test version some months ago. Why didn't they give any sincere advices to Konami? Hmm, didn't they realize or Konami tried to ignore fans' advices ? Remember, Konami had learnt a lesson from unsuccessful PES2008.

I wont actually disagree totally with you, but i have to admit the player animation kinda looks weird and unrealistic. BUT! Its not really obvious in my opinion. After playing a few games and some closed up shots of them running then i realised what a fluke it was. even though its kinda of a major setback i still enjoy playing this version of pes. Its mainly because its soo much free and unscripted than fifa. sad to say, fifa 09 is still scripted and predictable in certain areas of its gameplay.

My uncle came last week to test out the game with me, and he is someone who has been playing fifa series all his lifetime.
When he played PES for the first time, He was so shocked at the "free"ness of the game and the realistic touches and gameplay of pes. one example is the through ball. In his opinion the way we can make the through balls are realistic just like real life, unlike fifa.

I agreed with him about the through balls cuz i tried fifa 09 and the through balls are just not perfect. its precision is missing i guess. u cant pass exact place u want in fifa 09.

well, its just my opinions since i dont side either games as i play both of them.

Starting XI
I played PES 2009 demo and saw Fifa 09 in action (but didn't play it). And I have to say, PES 2009 is the winner.

Fifa 09 surprised me. The amount of moves is amazing, and the graphics are stunning. Still, the gameplay seems unrealistic. The players look like dolls in the field, they just don't move. It a big flaw since Fifa 2004.

PES 2009 is all I wanted. A PES 2008 without the overwhelming speed it had. Still, it didn't change much. However, it's still the best. While Fifa 09 is scripted, PES 09 isn't. No game is equal to the one before... It's the only game that give what reality soccer gives.

And after you score a goal, it's like you yell 'till no tomorrow. Just like 5 years ago, when I tried PES3. Yesterday I played a match where I was losing to R.Madrid 0-1 with Liverpool and made 2-1 in the last 5 minutes. Who saw me in the moment would think I am crazy.

And that never happened to me in Fifa.

PES still wins this year EA SPORTS!

Guys come on.

Pes is full of bull*** it isnt football if you ever played football you know what i meant or you have your eyes covered with fanaticsm.

Shooting with outside of the boot isnt an ability for a footballer!!! Every footballer can shoot via outside of the boot.
Even if your player has that skill he doesnt use it.

You would fall down or at least lean back to pass 30-40 meters even thou you must take a few steps back to create that tension, it isnt something like just putting your foot under the ball thing like pes.

You get no response while ball is at midair (below chest - above foot) you can try it they will wait for the ball to get to the ground. For the fu*k sake where is volleys ??!?

Keeper saves nearly all the 1 on 1 shoots inside of p.a.

I can count many many of this sensational mistakes and prove them.

So please please please dont call this game football it is something else japanese game programmers create what i would call foot billiards. Rating this game perfect or even good as a football game is absurd dont make yourselves look dumb.

//Forgive my grammatical errors.
