Top 5 Favourite PES2010 Improvements:

In the past week I’ve seen PES make some serious strides at going back to its simulation roots, and here I’ll take a look at my top 5 favourite new additions in PES2010, as well as a few old friends set to return.

5. Increased Control.

360-degree control is set to feature on Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC-DVD versions of PES2010 using the analogue sticks on their controllers. Playstation 3 owners will also be take advantage of the PS3’s sensitive d-pad, but movement can still either be controlled via analogue or d-pad on all formats. Invisible walls surrounding a throw-in are now gone, and auto-slides/clearances seem to have vanished.

Manual keeper has also returned. Hurrah!

4. Card and Team Style systems.

Special ability cards that can either be turned on or off make for more realistically tuned player AI, such as Super-Sub or Penalty Saver. Fully adjustable Team Style sliders such as Compactness and Player Support let you fine-tune your team to a playing style that suits you and your players.

3. Presentation.

A lot of player faces now look spookily lifelike, menus are better, more licensed teams, fans cheer the home side and hassle the away side, the new animations that are present are looking good (especially the 90-degree turns and injuries), the lighting effects are great, commentary seems more representative of the action, overall probably the best presented PES to date.

2. Master League overhaul.

The mode now features scouts, club doctors, physical trainers, coaches, youth teams, fan clubs, integrated European tournaments, more realistic fixture generation, an 18-team D2 League, real currencies, the ability to skip games, team sponsors, personalised training, club-specific budgets and more. Master League really seems to be shaping up to be something special in this year’s instalment, and is genuinely much more fun and engaging.

1. The Playability.

Plays at a slower pace than PES2009 Team AI has increased, keepers cover angles better, midfielders and defenders work together in an effort to block out space.

what do we all think?

Well i just hope they got the bookings sorted out, every 10 bloody seconds you get booked of late, i put pes 6 back on the other day and apart from visuals i think it plays better than the newer versions, my pes wishlist would be more leagues from the UK (at least championship!) and license kits for all the EPL clubs.

I've got to agree with Blackburnbob. I play FIFA instead because of the licensing.

I'll have to try out PES 2010, but I'll probably stick to FIFA.

To be honest up until the last 2 installments i was PEs all the way, if you play it on PC there is always a mod to get full licensed kits etc which isn't so bad and if you have a modded xbox you can also get the same patch so it can be made fully licensed, would still be better if they could get the proper thing!

FIFA was better last year by far, see what this year brings!

you can get option files which amend all the kits and logo's, without all the licenses its pants but you can pick them up on one of the pes forums and its a piece of cake to put in the game all you need is a usb stick (for ps3). i created a japanese account on my ps3 and downloaded the more complete demo and its ace, all response times and bugs removed and graphically its stunning, big promises on the online mode being lag-free...fingers crossed!

Yeh i've enjoyed the demo, i did use the option files before on ym 360 but you needed modded 360 for that, ive got another PS3 so probably try it on there this time, feel's more realistic than FIFa this year for me, the goals a lot more random and the build up play is good
