So both the PS3 and PS2 versions of PES7 should be released at the same time, right?

Just had a quick chat with the PSM3 reviewer whose PES7 blog entry was quoted on here before. I said to him that the graphics were a disappointment after what Seabass had said in interviews about there being a new graphical engine, and that it was perfectly normal to feel let down. I also mentioned why I've been slowly going off PES for the last few years, with the novelty of the new features wearing off after two weeks and then being left with the "I've done this all before" feeling. Here is what he had to say:

I sometimes think a large part of the reason that games mags, myself included, are so forgiving of PES, is that in multiplayer - which we literally do play in 4-player every day - just keeps on giving. And giving. I play the game solo, too, but I feel like the Master League has been stuck in a trench, however fun, for years. And the core faults crop up time and again. The 'scripting', at times, is laughable, especially at the lower level in Master League. You can have 30 shots, and still lose 1-0 to a 'bent' unstoppable CPU goal in the 90th minute - but there's a perverse thrill in 'breaking' the script.
I played quite a lot of 360 Fifa last year, so I'm sceptical of their claims, but admire what they're trying to do. It's in everyone's interests if both games are excellent, but bitter experience teaches you that EA are masters of the big promise - I've been on countless press 'romancing' trips to their HQ where they've promised all sorts of things, and listened intently to our feedback, only for it to be completely ignored. But every year is a fresh chance, and you treat it as such.
I've seen a fair bit more of PES 2008 than they've shown on the net, and I'm now super excited in an unashamedly zestful fan's way. I might be wrong. But at least I've got an idea what they're up to.
I was also initially pleased, but underwhelmed, by the first batch of shots. From what Konami tell us, a lot of internal resource has been geared to the PS3 version, and it's seems only fair to be optimistic.
Time will tell.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Looking at what I've highlighted, the first bit sounds really promising - a few people have said stuff similar to this now. What the hell could he be talking about that is so amazing? And as for the second bit I've highlighted - is it just me or does that say that the shots released currently are 360 shots and so the PS3 graphcis will be better after all?
Ah the infamous 'square ball' goal that everyone does during an online match. Itll be great to see that these tap ins are going to be cut out and we will see how 'the best at Pro Evo' do online, one goal wonders...
- Reduced Cut Backs: The opposing defence will close down runs faster, which prevents players from passing a ball into the box and tapping a shot in from short range
On Page 19 they confirm that PES 2008 is coming to PS3. There are also 2 new screenshots, one of a portugal players shirt being pulled and one smaller one of a player in training. They also say that in next month's issue (Out 1st August 2007) they will have an indepth preview.
Our favourite improvements are two small things that we've been requesting for years. The first is the ability to choose which players attack and defend set pieces. Playing as Man Utd and want both Vidic and Rio up to attack corners? Now you can. You can also designate how many players (and which ones) stand in the wall on free kicks, ending the days where you'd watch helplessly as Andrea Pirlo curled a humdinger over the heads of your two midget wingers and nippy-but-tiny front man

The first pic involves shirt-pulling. Something i've been longing to see..
