Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS3)

...up for the PS3 was Pro Evolution Soccer 2009. I'd recently got the previous version on the Wii and while it had redeeming features, the game difficultly perhaps wasn't what it could have been. I always have to have a football game regardless of which console I own, so it was time to see whether Konami had improved on the poorer points of the last game. There are a couple of new features and game modes that Konami have added to try and improve on ...
...game play features within the Pro Evo series. It is a huge improvement on the previous outing and while there are still some bug bears that will put people off the series it still has enough redeeming features to keep the loyal fan base coming back. Yes the team names can be changed to the real ones once you've got the game, if you can be bothered, but i really think Konami should look at picking up more licences to at least keep competing with the ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS3)

Pro evolution soccer (PES) 2009 is a football computer game spread across several different platforms- I have the xbox 360 version so my review will be based on that although I don't believe there to be much difference between this and the PS3 version. The Pros--- The game is quite realistic, players think like real players (although they don't look like them), the controls are smooth, and you will never score the same goal twice! It now feature ...
...league and a lot of the teams playing in it don't have licensing so you find your self being bored! The replay system has also been revamped making this a lot smoother and free. If you have a webcam for your 360 there is a continuing feature from PES 2006 which lets you take a picture of your face and stick it on a player... this is awesome and great fun for creating a team of all your mates- its great watching your name score a goal and then you ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS3)

...the moment because while the Pro Evolution soccer series has always sold very well, it seems to have recently lost a lot of ground to it's main competitor Fifa. Therefore with this fresh new stronger challenge to it's title as the best football game, Konami have release Pro Evolution 2009 but the question is does it set new heights? Since I had not even bothered with the previous effort from Konami, it was good to see that some new variation has ...
...now a Become A Legend Mode which will allow you to create your own football player from scratch. You can customise his looks and set the initial attributes through a limited amount of attribute points you are provided with and after which you can improve him still further as you gain more experience. Beyond this, we have much the same setup as before with a Master League, cup modes and it's variants and exhibition. Gameplay wise, the engine seems ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS3)

PES2009 or FIFA 09? First thing I have to say is that I own both Fifa 09 and PES2009 but comment on each game for its qualities with Fifa 09 this year managing to lead the way in terms of quality. PES2009 is at first glance a great step up in presentation and the new Champions League mode is a real bonus for players who have stuck with this as you finally feel they are listening to our disgruntled shoutings about the poor licensing on offer each ...
...parts you get to the game engine and upon first play I sat and listened to a constant thudding getting more and more annoying as when you run in this game it is now true to real life in that players tire as they move over a distance and so kick the ball further ahead...I kept at this and after a few times appreciated this as a possitive step forward. Now for the bad point...the right control stick is now simply a pass stick and no longer a control ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS3)

...one, in my opinion was pro 5 on ps2, since then its just not improved. Champions League mode is good. You dont have to play a full league season to play Champions League football. Easy access from the main start page. The online facility is not good. Everytime i play online, for example, i will be on the attack, the screen will freeze, and when it unfreezes, the other player will have the ball. Its not my internet connection, as i dont have a problem ...
...to go back to early editions and try to get it back to how it used to be. Obviously, technology moves forward, but i just feel that these latest pes games havent been as good as i have been expecting. Maybe i was expecting too much. I would recommend this game to anyone who loves football games though..as there are not many better football games out there. ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS3)

...a guy who plays both Pro Evo and Fifa, i was looking at this game as can it beat fifa? can it beat it in gameplay, graphics, freedom of play, etc.... the simple truth is that the game can be anything you want it to be. you can work your way up from the bottom, be your own team, your own player, your own manager, play your way, your style, and the game brings this to life in spectacular fashion. i always felt that the first touch in pro evo was never ...
...this up to speed. it doesn't cannon off as quick, and quickness of turn is much sharper, and the gameplay improves from that. what i did do though, was play it full throttle, big screen, surround sound, the full nine yards. this was key. it was all there, as mentioned, but you want the feeling of being there. you want to be in the game, not playing the game, and as much as i was in the crowd, i wasn't on the pitch. crowd noises, commentary, music, ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS3)

This was my first pro evolution soccer experience on the ps3., after being a fan of the series from right back when it featured on the ps1 I had heard some mixed reviews about its ps3 version but I was very impressed with this version. For those that know the series and are new to it, it still has the master league mode, where you create your own team from scratch starting out with a team made up from computer designed players and you start at the ...
...impress to gain a place in the first team and so on. Good addition to the game. Only downsides as with previous pro evolution games not all the clubs are official so the names are changed. But the playabilty of this game more than makes up for it. ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS3)

...in reality, for years now, Pro Evolution Soccer has been in a 2 horse race with TOTSNBN (I like that already). And they've always seemed to be one step ahead in each annual installment, and the same is true in the 2009 editions. Yes i know lots of people will moan that Pro Evo doesn't have the same liscencing as TOTSNBN, but is that really what we want froma football game. (More on lisceneces later by the way). Pro Evo has always deditcated itself ...
...you make a mistake in Pro Evo, it's generally your own fault. And that's what makes it more real. Players are taught to sharpen their skills rather than merely relying on having players who are faster and can shoot straighter (although that does help here). Employing faster pace of play, Pro Evo does take a little getting used to so give it a chance, but after a while it will make more sense as a football game. Graphically, the players are sharp, ...

...owned the entire series of Pro Evolution Soccer games. However, I have played all of them since 2005 and I sincerely believe that they have improved in those four years. As the title of the game suggests, it is a soccer game. The user can play in a variety of gameplay modes. The various modes create a sense of challenge and allow the user to do almost anything they want, within the confines of the game. Since the beginning of the Pro Evolution ...
...graphics. Notably, the game has also become more realistic, making the signings of new players harder to accomplish and making the gameplay a far closer representation of the modern day football match. The audio commentary during the actual matches that the user plays are a particular favourite part of PES 2009. I find them quite enjoyable, if not entertaining to listen to. The quality of sound effects is good as well, however, I believe that the ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS3)

...You cant turn quickly like pro everything is in a straight line. The goals are more rewarding in Pro evolution,Fifa is only better when you play the season mode as they have all the correct licence etc. New features such as the become a legend has been introduced, where you are your own indiviual player and build yourself up to become a legend, keeps you entertained for ages! Online play has improved a lot, The game dont skip likw it used to on ...
...this is that you have to play with other people online and not against them. The graphics have improved, not as good as fifa but has had big improvements, I think pro wins over Fifa just because of the game play it is a lot more realistic and fun! ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS3)

...a keen gameplayer of the Pro Evolution Soccer series, I was looking forward to getting my hands on the 2009 copy. Having debated for quite a few days on deciding whether Pro Evo or Fifa 09 was for me, I eventually went for Pro Evo... and I'm glad I did! With added gameplay features, better graphics, and a better flow to the actual games, Pro Evo seems to be gradually building towards becoming the real thing. The new "Uefa Champions League" feature ...
...intensity and realism now included. "Become a Legend" mode is another feature to catch the eye, and many hours of my day have been spent building up my own player from a 17 year old at a non league club, to striving towards domestic and international honours. The major let downs of the game are (again) the licensing laws which prevent most English clubs being called their correct names. However as with previous editions of the game, you get used ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS3)

Well, Pro Evo is my favorite computer game of all time... but how does it's latest installment fair? PES2009 rights the wrongs of last year's edition by the simplest of tweaks. First, the game has been slowed to a much more manageable pace. The crazy speed of last year's edition was a real bugbear of mine, players would jerk around the pitch at a fair old lick and games turned into Sunday morning pile-ons as players zoomed after the ball. There's ...
...to keep an eye on Pro Evo's always-challenging AI, which is constantly looking for opportunities to snatch the ball from you, and this makes scoring goals all the more rewarding While the Dutch, French, and Italian leagues appear in full this year, Liverpool and Manchester United are the only officially licensed Premier League teams. The rest of England's top leagues are stuck with generic regional names. For example, Tottenham Hotspur is back to ...

This game is awesome!!!!! If people say to you not to buy this game because it has "sloppy" and "poor" game play, don't listen, the game play is fine and definitely not sloppy, very smooth actually. So this game has a really good feature this year - BECOME A LEGEND MODE, okay, one word for this - AMAZING! This lets you create your own player, with your own looks (includes face mapping) and pick accessories and motions. And you play a scouting ...

Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PS3)

Pro evolution soccer is in my opinion the best footballing game ever created and i have played all of them from the PlayStation one, all the way up to the x box 360 and PlayStation 3. The game itself is legendary but on the PlayStation 3 it is very poor compared to how it is on the x box 360. The game play and graphics are much better on the x box 360 and i would recommend you not to waste your money on the game for play station 3, i would rather ...
