Xbox 360 and PS3 PES 2009 demo will be available during release week:
Konami
has confirmed that a PES 2009 demo will be available for both the Xbox
360 and PS3 platforms in the week of release. Gamespot managed to get
this info out of Konami during a hands-on with the game, and they
report back things are improving but the game is definitely based on Pro Evolution Soccer 5. Great news as PES5 was a favourite among the majority of PES players.
"The gameplay is where it's at, and Konami says that it's using Pro
Evolution Soccer 5 as its benchmark in this regard. Pro Evolution 2009
certainly feels slower paced than last year's effort, with more
on-the-ball control than ever before. Konami claims to have made the
ball even more physically independent, meaning that it will even react
to certain grass types and wet conditions. While we didn't get to play
a game in the rain, we did notice some of the new individual tricks
from certain skillful players. As in last year's game, certain
top-flight players will be able to pull off moves all their own, and
they move from tricks to standard animations very smoothly.
Konami boasted about its Teamvision AI system last year, but it really
seems to be coming through in the 2009 iteration. We were impressed
with how reserved your teammates are about passing the ball if you're
not in a strong position, which encourages you to make more-intelligent
runs. Some elements of the game seem slightly dated. For instance, your
salary in the Become a Legend mode is paid in "P" points, though
overall the new mode should be a welcome challenge for those bored by
the master league.
Speaking of which, the master league has also been updated to more
closely follow modern business dealings. If your players want to leave
your club, they'll perform poorly on the pitch. The multiplayer
elements have also been improved. You can now have a total of four
players online, in standard ranked and unranked matches, and in the
Become a Legend mode. Konami is aware that players didn't think the
multiplayer element of Pro Evolution Soccer 08 was up to scratch, so it
has promised more-advanced features, such as the ability to upload
replays from within the Become a Legend mode.
We managed to coax more good news out of Konami: There will be a demo
of the game for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in the week of
release. Make sure you stay tuned to GameSpot for all the information
as we get it."

Major you say how much Mush is anti pes but that makes you anti fifa no?
I'm just hoping for 2 good games.
lol touche baby I'll look forward to it Pimp Thuggie!!! :D
Major if you knew me you would know i was a pro evo nut for years. I loved 3,4,5,. I just think the tables have turned and Konami should give us a good game instead of the cack we had last year and to an extent the year before.
And Fifa 09 will make Pro Evo look like Sensible Soccer. You will come running to the dark side if there is any lag on Pro and you will be my Biatch best hooker. :)
OI MUSH THUGGIE your just sooooooo anti PES its frightening I've never heard one positive comment from you about it lol have you had an electric shock whilst playing it in the bath or summit??!! I hope it wipes the floor with FIFA09 and you have to admit defeat and hang your head in shame you FIFA pimp!!! :D

It's an interesting one anyway, not often is going backwards a good thing but this might be. As mush says though, we're next gen now, it better not be pes5 with updated teams.
Agree with Grafight on that one that evo 5 prob best version but, should they be going backat all on a next gen machine. If its based on that gameplay and improved GREAT!! If its just evo 5 with better graphics NOT GREAT.

yer agree a good thing building it around what has been a success, got to be careful not to go backwards but if they have gone back to what was right about that and built on it (and its good online) im sure we will all be happy enough

wheres my picture gone? I had a very pretty screen shot of a PES2009 :-( lol
Anyway, fantastic news that they have gone back to PES5 and using that as a base for the game. I think it is the most popular of recent releases so this can only be a good thing.
