Konami Announces Pro Evolution Soccer 2009
Every year there is always the same promise:
"Known by millions of fans for its superior gameplay and incredible realism, PES 2009 will further bridge the gap between PES and the real thing."
"The new game has undergone a stunning graphical update to ensure its players look and move even more like their real-life counterparts"
“The announcement of a new PES game is always a highlight for Konami, but PES 2009 looks set to reaffirm the series’ utter superiority,” commented Jon Murphy, PES Project Leader for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. “We are committed to extending the realism of the new game with a wealth of key gameplay additions, and will produce a football title that truly embodies all the skill and pace that is good about the modern game.”
This time they have Messi on their side;
"Most modern players are aware of the realism and skill of the Pro Evolution Soccer series," "It is a game that truly mirrors the pace and control of real football, and as a die-hard fan of the series, I am delighted to be working with Konami on the latest version." commented Messi...
PES 2009 will be released for PlayStation3, PlayStation2, Xbox 360, PC-DVD, and PSP (PlayStationPortable) in Autumn 2008

Changes:
The german games magazine Play3 have had the opportunity to play an early version of PES 2009. Here is the summary, as posted by Yak over at pesforum.de.
- Early version ran very smoothly and seemed very polished
- Improved player response with quicker passing
- AI improvements resulting in more aggressive play and better positioning
- AI in particularly good in defence
- New manual pass control… “if your team is in control of the ball the AI is in position of the player with the ball… but as soon as you press L1 you can control the player with the ball”.
- “The new pass system only sound complicated in the first way it is really easy to adapt”
- The manual control setting is replaced by the new system, with automatic and semi-automatic still selectable
- Player models look better
- A few new animations (”players wave with there hands to ask for the ball, you can see players stumble aside, players slide longer on wet grass”)
- Players reactions to weather is changed… balls are hard to control, shots become harder to catch for the goalkeepers and it is harder to pass correctly
- New mode which allows you to use your saved file online
