where did you get the info about the skills from?

 

[dannyboy20]

From the latest Famitsu mag, Konamilk @ pesfan has translated it. Same with the above 18 Dutch teams, so the list you posted is just a false rumour

 

[dannyboy20]

More info from the lastest mag (again translated by Konamilk @ pesfan)

Direct pass using breast (like Jan Koller type postplayer does)
Knee-height volley shoot while turning round (like Owen in EURO?)
Many outside kick motions.This means lower weak foot frequency
player almost always use his main. (I don know who is this type..)
Improved turn motions in dribbling (Most I wanted)

And 4 new stadiums seen in the lastest pics:

St. James Park (Newcastle - England)
Parc des Princes (Paris - France)
Stade Velodrome (Marseille - France)
Rasunda Stadion (Stockholm - Sweden)

 

[BazHilder]

Thanks for that razor. It's good to see all the info at once. This game is gonna be awesome.

Did you mention being able to edit the keeper kits and stadium names?

 

[jamez]

Parma's Ennio Tardini stadium is there as well.

As for the team list, if this is correct then Konami may have made a bit of fuck-up of it again. I can see the following relegated teams in the list:

Leeds Utd, Celta Vigo, Perugia and Vitesse Arnhem.

Therefore, this doesnt represent the top club teams in Europe. And please, please, please no more WE Utd and PES Utd.

 

[dannyboy20]

Oh yeah forgot about that stadium lol

The list razor posted is a false one, like he said it was unconfirmed but now it's 100% false.

The only thing we know so far is there are 138 ML teams and 18 Dutch teams.

Phew! Its just a shame you wont be able to play the Dutch league properly in the game as the league mode only allows 16 teams. Unless this is changed of course, but i'm not getting my hopes up.

 

[dannyboy20]

A bit more info reguarding the new moves, thanks to Konamilk for translating:

Ronaldinho's feint ...I dont know this is only for him,I lost my info source...
All I know is "To do that move,push directional key (stick?) right to left (or L to R, Up to Down or... ) like real player does."

La Bona ...Limitted for High technique and Low weak foot frequency player.

And 4 new stadiums seen in the lastest pics:

St. James Park (Newcastle - England)
Parc des Princes (Paris - France)
Stade Velodrome (Marseille - France)
Rasunda Stadion (Stockholm - Sweden)

What pic was this in? I hope they do include it

 

[dannyboy20]

What pic was this in? I hope they do include it

It's in the new high res pics with the Roteiro ball. It's in the England vs Portugal pics of those. It looks like St James Park anyway...

 

[jamez]

St James's Park: The jury is out.

In my opinion, this is St james Park. Look at the white railings a few rows from the front. I think thats the big clue.

Yeah thats what I was thinking, I agree you can't 100% tell from those pics but it does look promising. Also, the seats are grey, as they are at St James' in real life

The crowd is very close to the pitch as well, like St' James's (lets hope so, it was long overdue). It definately looks like an English Stadium anyway.

 

[BazHilder]

And please, please, please no more WE Utd and PES Utd.

No I hope they include that again, there's no harm in it and I quite like it cos I made one of them a custom team to use for my ML and I made the other a classics team from the players you can buy in the shop.
