Re: PES2010 News & Rumours thread
The Messi animation is quality, if the rest of the generic non-Messi animations are up to that standard then it could be the revolution we need.
Also the thought of different colour nets without sandbags is making me froth at the mouth.
The tactics look really well implemented, my biggest concern is that you will be able to press for the entire match without any affect on stamina, like in FIFA 09, but one thing they are usually good at is the strategic side of the game.
Generally, if I see a video related to PES that doesn't have any worrying or disturbing elements then I consider it a positive thing and that video (maybe just because we couldn't understand what was being said!) looks like the game may be moving in the right direction.
I think people are underplaying the importance of the new tactics/strategy system as well, FIFA 09 had this and it added a lot of depth to the game so it's vital PES has it this year, even more important than multiplayer game modes or 360 degree dribbling, for example.
Lately I've been playing PES6 and it's still quite enjoyable, that to me suggests Konami don't need to introduce full manual and advanced control systems to win people back, at least not this year, they just need to re-capture the magic of the old games but within the context of a true next-gen title.
