All the play testers (around 20-30) have all said they loved it and thought it was a fantastic game. You have gotta keep the faith cos trust me this game will be so much fun to play.
I have been ignoring FIFA 09 thinking it would suck but looking at it it does look pretty decent but pes is pes and fifa is fifa and pes will alwyas have better gameplay.
Stay faithful cos this years pes is truely next gen in terms of modes, online and graphics will look polished and decent. No it wont be perfect but even cod4 had its problems but it was still a great game. You just have to wait for the best football game ever till october.
