Just a quick summary stating what should be obvious by now -- PES is a series in decline, and Konami keeps throwing more and more lies to cover it up.
Pointless thread?? Call it whatever you want, but Konami deserves this type of criticism for adding insult to injury.. blatantly lying to their own customers.
* Without wasting any more words, this are just some of the quotes from Seabass on PES08:
“We have taken a long hard look at what has made the Pro Evolution Soccer series so popular, and where we want to take it next,"
"With the new Teamvision AI system, we truly believe that we have elevated the game to a new level. The movement of players off the ball, coupled with the total control given to the player, creates the closest simulation of real football to date. We really hope everyone enjoys our evolution. I promise it will be worth the wait."
"We have also introduced our new Teamvision AI. This is a sophisticated AI programme that learns and adapts according to the player's style of gameplay".
"We cannot say which but there are plenty of new moves in the game. When we say moves it's not just about a single, certain move either. Instead there are more subtle things, such as the timing of passes, the start of runs… We've tweaked and changed these timings and that affects the way the game plays, so much so it often feels like some of the moves are new".
"We realised that past PES games were pretty much close to perfect - we tweaked the games every year and continued to do so for a long time, so it was natural for the game to be good. However, we knew we'd have to start afresh for the next-gen game".
"I am most proud that we created something that surpasses PES6. In terms of AI and the way the game plays, I think this creates a new game to the PES of old. The traditional PES graphics have improved too and I'm proud we have accomplished both - the graphics and the gameplay - at the same time. You will have a great time with your friends, I guarantee that!".
* This comments are from Jon Murphy, PES Project Leader for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH:
"“The announcement of a new PES game is always a highlight for Konami, but PES 2009 looks set to reaffirm the series’ utter superiority,”
“We are committed to extending the realism of the new game with a wealth of key gameplay additions, and will produce a football title that truly embodies all the skill and pace that is good about the modern game.”
* This next one is from Kunio Neo, president of Konami:
"“We are extremely confident that PES 2008 will be welcomed as the greatest football game of all time,”
“Demand is massive for what is easily the best Pro Evolution Soccer title to date, and we anticipate record sales as we bring the series to PlayStation 3 for the first time, and unleash stunning versions for all leading formats.”
* This are comments posted by Konami, don't know who wrote or came up with them, but I still find this quotes amusing:
"The new game has undergone a stunning graphical update to ensure its players look and move even more like their real-life counterparts"
"Similarly, all-new options allow users to tailor the game to their own tastes, while new moves, innovative new control elements and key online elements will further the realism of the new game".
"PES09 is the most advanced, most realistic and most satisfying , PES game to date. The game has made radical advances, including new moves, innovative new control elements and a vastly improved online mode to further enhance the realism.
With a stunning graphical update and a wealth of gameplay improvements, PES 2009 truly embodies all the skill and pace that makes the modern game beautiful".

Just a quick read and you would have to agree that Seabass and rest of the guys at Konami are pretty full of shit.
And I must question.. just how is it exactly that the players "move even more like their real-life counterparts" ??? I would really like to know, considering each and every single player in the game moves like a robot.
Would also like to know about the "key gameplay additions", What could that be?
And I don't even need to elaborate on the "vastly improved online mode".
Fortunately the fans have showed them they aren't fooled, and have done so in the best of ways -- The series has taken its 1st significant dip in sales, the clearest hint of decline to date.
By now Konami must know that if they keep this Fiasco going -the- sales will keep declining.
