I have a sneaky suspicion that FIFA will be better than PES this year....I've been reading up on that game and it sounds like it will be as much an improvement this coming year as it was last year whereas PES doesn't seem to have added much and looks exactly the same as last year - I'm still hoping the PES gameplay this year much, much improved.
Konami has said its eagerly-awaited Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 has been "reworked from the ground up" and will include new modes and gameplay.
'Become A Legend' is the main new solo mode to the UK edition, which casts players as a rookie pro at the start of their career as a midfielder or striker. Using a default vertical camera view, gamers control one player throughout their career instead of the player closest to the ball.
The player's overall aim is to make sure they are constantly chosen to play in the first 11 in their team and to attract the eyes of larger clubs, ensuring a move to top-flight soccer.
The mode, an extension of the 'Fix' option, has proved popular in Japan, where it has featured in Pro Evo games since 2007.
An online variation of the mode entitled 'Legend' will see gamers use their saved offline player and put him up against a worldwide audience.
Konami also confirmed that it has refined the control system in the game, with players able to perform tricks and feints without the use of special moves. Weather conditions will also have a more pronounced effect on the weight and movement of passes.
The way a player guides the ball has been altered, with new physics taking into account air resistance and ground friction.
The game has also undergone a graphics upgrade, with Konami confirming that "stadiums now have more realistic environment and atmospheric elements, while the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions will also showcase LED hoardings".
Konami's Jon Murphy said of the title's new gameplay: "We have pulled out all the stops to make PES 2009 a landmark in footballing games."
Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 is scheduled for release on PS3, Xbox 360, PS2, PSP, mobile phone and PC this autumn. A Wii version of the game will be released Spring 2009.
Quality write up there, m8. I'd just like to add to this aswell.....from what I've read from people who have played advanced versions of the game and from what I could tell from the gameplay videos the game apparently plays more like PES 5 and PES 6 than the previous version as the pace of the game is apparently alot more considered and defense orientated as opposed to PES2008.
The Be A Legend mode (aka Fantasista mode in the Jap versions) is basically the same as Be A Pro in the FIFA games. However I like the idea of being able to transfer to different clubs, I'm not sure if this is allowed in the upcoming FIFA game however one thing I know for certain is that the PES version allows for many many more seasons to play as opposed to FIFA's quite paltry 4 seasons.
Edit mode is where it's at this year because it's been much improved on last year's version in that now it's basically the same edit mode which is in the PS2 versions, in other words not many restrictions whatsoever....making their debut on next gen PES games in the editor are the pixel paint creators as seen in the PS2 counterparts which allow players to recreate club badges and club sponsors, but perhaps even better than this is the introduction of jpeg/png imports - up to 40 - via the eyetoy or hard drive aswell as mp3 imports for chants and menu music.
It's really shaping up to be a good year for football games since PES seems to be back on song and I've been hearing and noticing some good things about FIFA also. Roll on October.

Well I was in the local GAME store the other week and so they reckon it would be mid October at the latest. Saying that the last time I pre ordered anything (Metal Gear Solid 2) I got that game a week or two earlier than the street date if I remember correctly. I'd save yourself the aggro m8 and say to yourself mid October.
The trouble for me is that Silent Hill Homecoming is coming out at around the same time apparently and if that turns out to be the case I am going to have that familiar headache of which to play first and getting withdrawals from one game as i play the other game .
Dunno if you know about this site but head on over to WENB (google it WENB) and they post weekly podcasts and all manner of news, pics and videos on everything PES2009.
