With each PES that is about to be released we get a lot of news about how good it's going to be and each year I get excited and believe what I read and hope for perfection. Unfortunate though, while it's an improvement maybe on the last couple of versions, there are still small disappointing gameplay issues with PES 2010. The keepers are fairly poor, getting beaten at the near post and when the striker is shooting from a large angle. They are also slow to recover from a save and sometimes make huge errors. The referees also are frustrating and are way-way-way too lenient. Other small issues like the AI passing it around the back for way too long exist also along with the online lag not being fixed among other things. On the positive side of things though, the presentation and features/options of game modes has all improved. It's a good football simulation but there are still some poor gameplay issues that were not in PES games 4-5 years ago.
Two steps forward one step back.
