Here's an idea:
Perhaps Konami have yet to implement the full set of new animations yet?
I don't wish to sound like a particular owner of another PES website, but PSM3 and all the other journos went to see PES2011 a few weeks back. That was mid-May, five months before the game is due to be released. Still plenty of time for improvement.
Now I'm not saying the animations are going to be perfect in PES2011, but from the small gameplay clips seen so far it's quite apparent that new animations are mixed in with the old at this stage. Konami have said that there's a thousand new animations in this game. Add that to IK and I'm sure PES2011 will move quite nicely indeed.
I'm waiting for Gamescom before passing too much judgement on the animations, but if everything ends up looking as good as the jostling in the recent video then we have nothing to worry about.
I actually think there are alot of animations to be implemented (that probably are already being implemented as we speak), journos reported that many stuff was missing, including transition animations, some tackling ones and other.
But I think running one's are already implemented and pretty much finished, and tbh, form that video, the very few seconds I see don't look bad. It's not like FIFA nails them in the first place, lol.
But I think we are yet to see a video that makes up our mind about animations, and the game itself. Let's see what we get with E3.
I would say it's still soon to say "what you see now is what you get in October", at least until Gamescom. Then with Gamescom yes, you can be sure it's what we're getting on the final code, don't even talk about "early code" by August, lol.
