Its comparable to the gameplay of konamis perfect striker games on the n64 fluid seamless and hardcore.konami have given it back to the real player thanks in part to a good european cup which was played how football should,quick,lots of long passes and plenty of goal mouth action,im sure people will still mone but i dont think it gets any better ive waited nine years for a game this deep with every year pes improving now we have the definitive pes.......Dopecoil
If you cant wait buy j league we club championship 2008 on the ps2 to taste this magic but stop worrying and speculating about pes 2009 the asian league version shot strait to number one in the japanese game charts on release for good reason. Fifa be afraid be very afraid KONAMI ARE BACK AND DOING IT THERE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi anonymous, thanks for the info I have actually ordered the j league we club championship for my modded ps2.Is there alot of difference in play between pes 2008 on the ps2 and the j-league cc game? i ordered it to pass the time till 2009 comes out and from what your saying the ps2 version of 2009 will be amazing
I think PES09 will pretty much be a version of PES5 with better Graphics.. In other words, what PES08 should have been. Slower and yet more Responsive, the way a Football Sim should play -as- PES6 was too fast if only slightly, and PES08 was ridiculously fast.
PES09 will re-affirm the series. However, Konami needs to come up with something "Revolutionary" for 2010, a Next Gen Engine could do the trick..
as many fans would agree pes 2008 is by far the worst so far well ps3 any way i like many other fans will be eagerly awaiting both demo and full release of pes 2009 and i am refusing to be suckered into the fifa situation whitch have played the demo is not nearly as good as pro 3
what i'm about to say is going to annoy ALOT of people, but here goes...i think the best pes ever was pes 4. i think they hit the peak with that game. i remember finally being able to master curled shots at my mates house and shoving it in his face, then finally pulling it off in a proper game. brilliant.
but seriously i think the game was spot on and moving in the right direction. as of 3 they had started getting licenses for teams and footballs, the gameplay was improved from 3 and overall, as i said earlier, was the best pes in my opinion. now i believe in change if something is drab and not doing too well anymore, but changing for the sake of it is pointless to me. case in point: i REALLY, REALLY hate the running animations from 2008, especially the sprinting ones. and it looks like they have made a comeback in 2009 having watched some trailers. another thing, i can't for the life of me understand why konami seem to think that, say you finish with the inside of your foot ala thierry henry, the ball spins opposite to the way it should. that has cost me countless goals by mere inches.
i'm actually guilty of making a full switch to fifa 08 as a direct result of konami's inability to create a game that even remotely suggests they are in touch with modern day football. fifa may have it's flaws (and there are MANY), but i generally enjoyed playing it more than i have a pes for the last 3 or so years. let's hope 2009 is a much immproved effort. thanks for reading.
Pes 6 on ps2 - best footie game of all time to date.
Pes 2008 on ps3 - most disappointing footie game of all time (after all the hype).
All Xbox versions - not the same feel as the playstation. Not as satisfying when you score. Hard to explain but don't like them. Much better online facility though.
Bottom line - Still playing pes 6 on ps2 with update file bought off ebay each season for a fiver. Much cheaper than buying the latest pes, which is probably shite anyway. Might try pes 9 from Blockbuster, but can almost guarantee I'll be back on 6 again shortly after.
been playing the 360 demo this morning,has that old pes feeling,player settings manual is a complete different thing,play the ball and the comp runs of with it if you don't switch player
great graphics fast gameplay,Fifa09 is sloooooow.
Keepers are still rubbish
hopefully the comments are better,the manager himself is a real worcaholic, still runs trough my mind
Hope the online bit is good
all to gether pleased

just been playingthe demo for pes 2009. its a bit like a girl with a padded bra. lots of hype and it looks fantastic but once you get down to it your left disappointed and fankly quite cheated.
i know its early days and only a demo, but why are the keepers so sh!t?? why can they not seem to get this right? and is it just me or is the gameplay nowhere near as smooth as previous versions?
why cant a simple man like myself find a simple verdict on 09. the broken culture of pes on ps3 needs the kiss of life. i really dont wanna touch fifa,
Just spent a week or so playing the demo of PES 2009 on the XBox 360 and I gotta say... I hope the finished game is better. I'm excited by the Legends mode, but the normal game is still very flawed (the AI of your team mates is dreadful at times) and the masters league, from what I've read, is going to be as crap as the last few versions.
Sigh... I'd quite happily substitute these fancy new graphics (for the cut scenes, game looks the same only it doesn't stutter anymore) for a game that doesn't make me want to tear my arms off and throw them at the TV.
Online on the 360 is a laggy mess. I have played 4 games against my mate and I got dicked 4 times due to stuttery moments where my player had the ball, then the next minute he was miles away and my mate had the ball and slotted it thru for another goal!
The game (offline) is the best on the 360 though. Become a Legend mode breaths new life into it!!
pes 2009 is almost exactly the same game as 2008 its all over the place, i have been a PES fan for years and did not go anywhere near FIFA, but i bought both pes2009 and fifa 09 n fifa absolutly destroys PES its so arcade like and unrealistic and the become a legend mode is a joke an absolute rip off of fifa's be a pro!! the game play is terrible and the transfers are so back dated....bently is at blackburn...i mean that deal was done at the beggining of the transfer window its awul!! o and the grpahics are ogood close up but form far away every player looks the same! l
