It has been a long time pal.
Graphically it looks better yes. But the game at the core is the same.
I agree it is better than last year. Konami have looked at last years criticisms and have taken them into account but thats it.
People wanted a slower tempo, better editing tools, better graphics and yes Konami may have delivered on that but they forget the most important thing and that is that we want a better football game too.
We want to have the closest thing to the real game as possible and to me the PES 09 demo ignores that. If you look at the game and then think of an actual football game then they don't look similar at all.
Its stuck in the PS2 days for me. Far too many negatives. A cheap imitation of football thats all it is. I used to think that I was a fan of the series but in actual fact I'm fan of football and only care about the game that goes hand in hand with actual football.
I would carry on but I have to go.
