I think pes5 is the worst of all versions of pes, and here is why. I used to play FIFA before I knew about winning eleven. I hated FIFA because a lot of features are built into the game so that the game player's skills do not matter in deciding the result of the game. For example, I remember whenever I was leading in an important game, the computer would script a combination of magical attacks by the opponent, and have them catch up with the score. This is true no matter how much I practice my defence.
I begin to see similar things in PES5 now. Apparently, they have re-programmed the control of the defenders so that they seem to run with inertia force now. When you run with the opponent and he turns away, you want your defenders to turn with him. But after you press the button, the player would typically still trun forward a little, and then turn back. This way, the opponent can fool your defenders easily (even though you as the game player are not fooled). This is frustrating, because the game is made artificially difficult. This is just one example. There are other similar changes to the game, such as in shooting and dribbling. The game maker's strategy is completely wrong, in my opinion. To make the game difficult, they could have designed a smarter AI and the game will be more fun. But they chose to do it by giving players less control. The game starts to look like FIFA now. I am so disappointed.
By the way, you should try the PSP version. It is the worst of all.
