As you have the 360 version, could you confirm if in edit mode it allows you to import from memory stick? It'll be a bit pointless allowing custom backgrounds in stadium mode if you can't on 360. You can hardly take a small tv with the 360 and Live camera on the road to capture backgrounds!
I've not tried it yet but knowing Microsoft's strict regulations on file transferring I can honestly say I really don't expect this to be the case. Quite like with option files on the Xbox 360, it's going to be tricky to insert and you'll probably need an extra device in order to do so (Xport etc).

What's the dribbling like? I remember finding that, unless you're Messi or of that ilk, turning 90 degrees looked like an arduous task for the player. E.g. if you're facing right and you press up, the player would take an age to turn.
I really enjoy the new dribbling system to be honest. It's definitely a marked improvement on the old system and the turning seems to be a lot more responsive now. I'm the South American team Cruzeiro for my Copa competition and at one point my striker turned wonderfully with his foot on top of the ball and fooled the two defenders closing him down, unfortunately I think I struck the ball wide. Turning can be slow at times, but overall on the whole it has improved and it's now possible to make nice turns with "average" players too thankfully.

Thanks for taking the time. Got a simple one for ya: Are you enjoying it? Is it fun?
Thanks for the question man.
Yeah, I have to say I really am enjoying it. There is still some flaws to be ironed out such as the crossing on the barline bug and the penalty system is very erratic. Overall though the gameplay is a step up from PES 2010 and it's certainly more rewarding. You feel a real sense of achievement in scoring a goal because ultimately you're dictating the passes (power and direction) with some assistence from the player's statistics, and then the defensives seem to be harder to break down. Of course it's still early doors but from the 4-5 games I've played, they've all been very low scoring including three 0-0 draws I believe. It gives the sense of satisfaction when you do score now because it's a more difficult task it seems which is a huge positive however there's a negative twist still last past PES titles in that it seems a bit easy to maintain high levels of possession a lot of the time.
I am pleased with the game and the gameplay though, as I say it feels more rewarding and I can genuinely see myself playing this one for a while, maybe even right up until PES 2012 providing Konami have fixed the online system as Master League online looks brilliant if it can be successfully lag-free. I'm really happy with the new formations screen and added tactical elements though which just give you more control over the team - a negative flip side of this though is that Konami have stupidly changed the strategy button from L2/LT (on PES 2010 you held this button and tapped the right triggers to play more defensively or offensively and also pressed the face buttons to implement set tactics) but now the holding of the L2/LT button is gone as the strategy button is now Select/Back. This genuinely makes it impossible to use while playing free-flowingly and there seems to be no way of changing it's configuration which really does annoy me.
Overall though, the gameplay is an improvement and if you enjoy PES you're really going to love this, although it might take some time to adapt to and start cracking goals in - which is a good thing though!

Thanks for this thread
What are spurs like?? I hope they made Bale better. If you can maybe do a spurs v ?? game and tell me how they feel to play. Lennon & Bale on each wing.
What are our rating?
Thanks in advanced.
Spurs seem to be a decent side, the team's graph looks in a similar standing to that of Manchester City, Aston Villa etc so it's probably about right.
I probably won't be playing a Spurs match anytime soon I'm afraid, I just don't have the time. I've only played about 4-5 games myself so far with everything that's been going on.
The ratings are tricky as they change depending on what position you play them so it takes forever to look at them all properly so I'll just do a few:
Bale is rated 83 as a LB, 82 as a LWB and 78 as a LMF.
Defoe is 83 as CF.
Lennon is rated 88 RMF.
Modric is 78 in CMF and AMF.
Huddlestone 77 DMF, 76 CMF.
King 80 CB.
Dawson 86 CB.
Assou Ekotto is 77 LB.
Bentley 72 SMF.
Jenas 78 CMF.
Palacios 78 CMF.
Bassong 75 CB.
