I GOT my copy. Review of a Veteran PES player

[ceysin]

Dear All

Initially I want to say that I’m a really veteran PES gamer from PS1 days… As several years I got my copy here in Turkey-Istanbul one week before the offical release date.. I got it yesterday and played for 5 hours .. I checked everything ecxept ONLINE… The main focus of mine was on Edit and gameplay.. Let me just write you what I see (comparing with demo will help you more to anticipate). I slept on 03:00 AM and woke up at 07:00 for work.. I feel asleep right now…

GAMEPLAY:
- No response issue.. Everything is fixed. They made it well
- Grafix are awesome.. Afternoon matchs lightning can make some of you angry ( alot of lightinin effects) but as a whole; grafix are far superior to Fifa.. and I think even better than PES Demo itself…
- Gameplay is slower but short passes are in some cases a lil quick.. (I’m planning to lower the short pass speed in edit mode for a more real gameplay)
- R1+R2 (cancel move) work a lot better than the both demos (WE+PES)
- Smoothness and fluidness are better than demos
- Through balls (floor ) are fixed, loft through balls are not great
- ANALOG passes (right stick) is implemented PERFECTLY this time.. I think more peopla will start to use it with PES2010
- No pressing R3 for analog passing, there is no option to select it either
- No Manual crossing.. no TYPE 1-2-3-4-5 selection. Same as DEMOS
- Crossings are fixed .. especially high balls are not oftenly goes behind all players..
- Shooting is a lil smoother compared with PES DEMO.
- GOALKEEPERS are horrible.. especially cant hold balls again  . Maybe they are better than PES DEMO but worse than WE Demo.. I think Konami will publish a new patch for this issue as soon as game officially released. I’m really dissapointed for this stuff.. (I’ll edit GK’s GK-handling attribute to check)

EDIT:
- Basicly it is so similar to PES 2009
- Tucked – untucked option is avaliable for player-edits.. I prefer untucked which seems more realistic during in-match. Except this feature everything for Player-Edit is same with 2009
- 22 Stadiums. 16 of them are licenced and 6 of them un-licenced which you have chance to change their name.
- Boots.. so many great boots.. Edit-lovers will adore these.. Also when you select a boot in right corner a box appears which shows the content of boots.. I dont know if these contents has any impact in gameplay… But believe me there a lot to choose…
- Chants for teams.. You can choose 4 chants to be played During match. 1 chant at set-piece occasions . 1 chant after you win a game. Totally 6
- No net editor or change nets… But I mistakely captured something. I select Feyennord as a Home team and nets were red-white .. I choose 2 different stadiums and nets were red-white when Feyennord was a home team.. I dont know if there are more teams like that.

OTHER:
- on main menu there is only Champions league option, There is no European league option…
- Master league is so vast . I just looked that basicly. I’m planning to go into it deeply this weekend.
- Commentary same and sux..
- Ball sound is horrible
- Original chants are awful and need to be edited asap 
- Refrees are still inconsistent as in DEMO… They overlook so many fouls which kills the realism a bit..
- On the main menu – there is ONLINE and Community options.. In community options it writes that you can set up competitions with your friends (league/cup)

You can ask me whatever you want.. but as I said I cant answer anything for Online right now….

Best Regards

Hi, thanks for your time. Can you check if the Dutch national team you canr register Boularouz, Orlando Engelaar (he is at Ajax now) and Van Bommel into the team? And do they have real faces?
And can you check if Chris Van Der Weil (Ajax), Dirk Marcellis (PSV?), and Gleen Loovens (Celtic) and of course Eljero Elia have real faces now? If you can, can you post some pics of their faces?
Many thanks again.

Thanks mate! ;o)
I'm guessing that it's the PlayStation game you've got - since you write R1+R2?
I think that you point out some nice points - be they good or/and bad. A lot of bad notes though.
As of right now, I don't think that I'll be getting neither PES or FIFA this year, as in my optic, they have both not really delivered compared to last year. Well PES seems far better that last year (how could it not?!) - but still doesn't quite feel like a current gen game. FIFA does that - but their general gameplay doesn't quite seem up to par compared to PES ditto...
Well, so many other great games out there this year...! ;o)

Have a good one guys - I'll look forward to hearing your views during the coming months.


Edit: I still can't believe that after 10 or so years that Konami can't figure out to make the goalkeepers work...??!?! Lazyness or pure lack of ability?

Its great to hear that people are receiving their copies to base their reviews on, majority of the reviews are very good and every person has their own opinions which is understandable.

I cannot wait until next week, the wait is nearly over !!

Ceysin, can you please confirm if Keita and Elano are in Galatasaray ?
Does Fenerbahce have Dos Santos and Cristian ?

Thanks for the review !!

 

[Mamama]

Thanks for your great report of the PES2010 final copy!

If I can ask...please tell me Japan national members in the game.
So konami is Japan company but recently they look at oversea very often.

We must always new information about this series from Europa.

Please thx.

 

[StringerBell]

PLEASE GIVE A LIST OF ALL CLUB TEAMS! ARE THERE ANY BUNDESLIGA SQUADS? (sorry for the cas lol)

 

[yks_barca]

- Chants for teams.. You can choose 4 chants to be played During match. 1 chant at set-piece occasions . 1 chant after you win a game. Totally 6

1. Any chance you know how long each chant can be? Is it like 1 minute just like 2009?

2.What about the 1 chant after you win the game? Does it instantly gets active once the referee whistles the end of the match?

If so, it will be great to put the clubs anthem in the end of the match.

 

[Abstruso]

great first review! It´s hopefully for the PS3 Version.

I´ve some questions too:

1) How many club teams are unlicensed ?
18 English 8 Spanish 11 League A, right?

2) Do all the unlicensed National & Club Teams have Fake Players, or have the players their real name? Trabzonspor (MFK Trnolevoce), Bosnia, Serbia, Mexico for instance.

3) Is the Away GK uniform really gone?

I hope you´ll find the time for some more infos.

best regards

Thanks Ceysin for your review! Could you tell us if this time we can play the Champions League switching the controller from pc to player 2???

 

[shaun7]

thanks ceysin. Great review, you mentioned the good and the bad points. Now that's a fair review.
So is the overall gameplay better than the we demo?
I see they fixed through balls which is great and was needed.
Thanks.

Hi Ceysin,

Many thanks for your review. Overall it still sounds very positive to me. I already liked PES 2009 enough this year (even though it was far from perfect) to spend many hours playing the game, so I am looking forward to PES 2010.

One question for when you're trying out the ML: could you check whether you can select any of the teams in the empty league? Just checking..

Hi, thanks for your time. Can you check if the Dutch national team you canr register Boularouz, Orlando Engelaar (he is at Ajax now) and Van Bommel into the team? And do they have real faces?
And can you check if Chris Van Der Weil (Ajax), Dirk Marcellis (PSV?), and Gleen Loovens (Celtic) and of course Eljero Elia have real faces now? If you can, can you post some pics of their faces?
Many thanks again.

Just FYI: note that Engelaar doesn't play for Ajax, but for PSV. Van der Wiel is not called Chris, but Gregory

 

[sgmullins]

When you say the keepers are horrible, would you say their better or worse than pes 09 keepers, or the same ?.

I will be honest i thought the keepers in pes 09 were ok, they pulled of some amazing saves , and yes a few clangers.

I would love to see the keepers put the odd ball or two over the crossbar, or palm it out of play rather than to an oncoming forward.

 

[Fenerlover]

Im counting down the days, this time next week we will be on our consoles playing it like crazy

To be honest, lets be happy with what we got, I for one am over all this bulls@it about which game is better or if earlier versions were better than the newer version etc etc, even some people who aren't gonna purchase either this game or the other game until next year...

Far out guys, take a break and be happy that we actually do have such a game as Pro Evolution Soccer !!

Roll on the 23rd !

 

[luikang]

Thanks, I'm really concerned about this

"- No Manual crossing.. no TYPE 1-2-3-4-5 selection. Same as DEMOS"

If you're not lying what's the point of this exactly ? Make everyone suck at this game ? Cause I don't get it :/

Removing this, is definitely the dumbest thing ever pulled off by Konami and you better be lying.

 

[Mamama]

My question is now I can know from this.
Thank you

[S1mon]

there aren't any unlicensed stadiums, simply ones that are completely fictional.

 

[Rasmus]

I'm moving to turkey if this is happening every year with pes .
Great post and good review mate. I would like to echo stringer asking for a team list? (other leagues) cheers

 

[brunoxp]

GAMEPLAY: - No response issue.. Everything is fixed. They made it well

[Mr Darkstar]

[daimpa]

You have got Ps3 or Xbox 360? If you have Ps3: how many emblems we can insert into edit mode?
