Great review:). Apparently there is a deal in GAME (for people who live in UK) 14.99 for pro evo 09 if u trade in fifa 09. Is that true by any chance?

it does seem harsh, i think there pissed of about lack of new features so there seems to be some resentment like with most reviews.

true, well they weren't right in my opinion on the u.s. version of winning eleven 2007, which was crap, no editing and bad gameplay and for the first time i returned a game because i was unsatisified (and i've been playing winning eleven since the 6th one), and hopefully they'll be wrong again with this one.

IGN gave pes 2008 a good review so i am wary of reviews now, i have played the game for six days solid so i can make my own mind up and i disagree with some of the comments

Yep, your own opinion is what matters, that's the best thing, especially for this ongoing debate about fifa vs pes.

After a week of playing I can say I'm very pleased with the improvements in gameplay. Defense is a lot much better and scoring doesn't come so easy as in the previous release, so a lot of midfield play = fun in my opinion. The keepers and refs still have some flaws, but as of yet, not as annoying as in last year's game. Overall I'm enjoying the game a lot.

However I'm a little disappointed with the BAL mode, it sounded like a cool idea but I haven't been able to get into it yet, it bores me to be honest. Maybe it's because I'm just starting and my player sucks, hahahaha, I'll be playing some more to get the hang of it.

Relax,
every new BAL players are sucky in terms of statistic-wise
Just give it a try and you'll find yourself addicted [well it went this way with me lol]

So mine finally arrived today.

Off-line is awesome and I'm going to have some fun playing my mates.

On-line, they've gone and done it again. Played 3 games and it was as if I was playing a different game. Totally crap. So I guess I wont be playing on-line again much.

i agree with your comments about the gameplay, you have to use your midfielders much more rather than passing the ball to your best player and using him constantly. Although at times the game can still feel slightly arcadey winning games is much more rewarding and the gameplay has much more depth

My review after playing it for a little less than a week:

Graphics: Players look great in replays, but when you are actually playing the game they look okay. Running animations are not the best, as people have mentioned previously. Lighting has been greatly improved for this year and the shadows from the stadium's roof during evening matches look excellent. Crowds at the stadium look bad (as always). Ball animations and net animations look superb. I really, really like those and it adds to the realism of the game. Rain looks pretty good but I was not really blown away by it, but it's a nice addition to PES2009. I wish there was snow, I hope for next year they finally add that. Rating: 8.0
Editing: Greatly improved from last year and beats FIFA's editing. I wish there was some way to create stadiums, but other than that editing is really great. Rating: 9.5
Sound: Commentary is as poor as ever. They really need to make it better and by a lot. The default chants they have for teams sound pretty bad, but you can make your own chant for each team. Unfortunately its only 50 sec. I really hope they fix this with a patch or at least make it longer for next year. This could have been a great feature, but 50 seconds is not nearly enough. The ball sounds are not so great, but not so bad too. Rating: 7.5
Gameplay: The strongest side of PES. It's back to its glory. Plays really well, every player feels different. Every team plays a little bit differently. Every goal is different and the scores in the game are very realistic. BAL is pretty fun, though its missing something, dunno what exactly, but I wish it was a bit more developed. Master league is good, better than what FIFA has to offer, but it has not been improved as of late and it also feels like there is something missing from it, it needs to be improved for next year. Rating: 9.5
Online: Very laggy but still kinda fun. Needs to be improved A LOT for next year. Rating: 6.0

Conclusion:
PES2009 is back to basics with some improvements. Still not enough to justify the "Evolution" part of its title though. However, PES 2009 is very entertaining and should last most of the players until next iteration comes out.
Overall rating: 8.5

P.S.:
PES is still a better game than FIFA. Even though some people claim that FIFA's gameplay can match PES's, I think it still has a long way to go.

what's with the commentary? they've hardly changed it from 2008. it's still as crap as ever, and they actually just say all the same stuff they said last year.

i mean, come on, record some new lame sayings, at least.
