Hi all.
Well, I've been trying out the game, and I'm really liking it.
Playing the game in the wide camera, controlling all the players feels nice, an improvement from 2008 definitely. I love the dribbling control, the way that timing the button presses now triggers small different animations. It feels pretty good.
The right-stick passing without clicking the stick takes a bit to get used to, but it's more or less the same as previous years, maybe a bit better.
The player runs are great, there's a lot of diversity.
Now, what I played a lot of was controlling a single player, choosing the vertical wide camera focused on the player. It takes a bit of time to get used to, but it is really fantastic.
About all the comments... Seriously, if you were already negative towards PES, it really isn't going to convert you if you don't give it a chance nor want to. That's fine by me, go enjoy the game that you like.
For me: PES2009 it is. And I do believe I am not the only one.
For those who a couple of pages ago mocked PES's AI in Become a Legend mode, saying that FIFA's Be a Pro was better... Go ahead, hope it works miracles for you guys. For me, PES's AI for Become a Legend is pretty good, go ahead and try the demo.
Best regards,
Paulo Tavares
i think the same, great game

P.S.: Oh, and do yourselves a favour: play it with a nice pad. I'm playing it with the PS3 pad, on my laptop, connected to my LCD. Brilliant!
