It's a great read and gives you their insight into what they think about the new game.
They will also have a pod cast later today so make sure you listen to that as well.
"They say there's no smoke without fire. Ever since PES 2011 was shown in Tokyo, and then most recently at E3, impressions from the press have been consistently positive. The improved competition has certainly moved the goal posts in-terms of what we now expect from a football game, but despite this the WEP team seem to be holding their own with ease so far. While the hardcore have remained loyal, with strong belief PES would somehow find it's way again, most had given up by now. These positive previews, then, have given us all hope that the king has indeed returned. Surely, everyone can't be wrong? It's this feeling of anticipation and confidence that runs through me as I pick up the controller for the first time to play PES 2011."

The Manual Keeper - Why we welcome its return
28th August, 2009 03:45:00pmPosted by TheEditor
From Ali Al Habsi to Gianluigi Buffon, goalkeepers are those we have no choice but to place our trust in as the last line of defence during our team’s relegation or promotion battles, cup runs and all important derby wins. Unfortunately, no matter the keeper, they’re all prone to the occasional hair-tearingly frustrating moments of buffoonery that can end up costing the match. As a video game, PES too can be a sufferer of this problem.
Konami, however, introduced the manual keeper in an attempt to combat this some time ago. But why is it a useful tool to have? We asked PESFan referee Keenandinho, one of the strongest advocates of the manual keeper you'll ever find, why it’s such an important feature to have.

PESFan Q&A Part 2

Are any Championship teams in ML? What about other licenses?
No, there are no Championship teams in at this stage. Ligue 1, Serie A and Eredivisie are all fully licensed, with La Liga partially licensed with 10 teams and Liverpool and Man Utd licensed in England’s top division.
How many team’s in D-2?
18, and these can be replaced with edited teams from ‘OTHER B’ to create a custom second division.
Can I still change the teams in the top divisions?
Yes you can. For example you could swap out Liverpool for Celtic or Inter Milan for Team F if you so wished

Top 5 Favourite PES2010 Improvements
20th August, 2009 12:17:00pmPosted by TheEditor
In the past week I’ve seen PES make some serious strides at going back to its simulation roots, and here I’ll take a look at my top 5 favourite new additions in PES2010, as well as a few old friends set to return.
5. Increased Control.
360-degree control is set to feature on Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC-DVD versions of PES2010 using the analogue sticks on their controllers. Playstation 3 owners will also be take advantage of the PS3’s sensitive d-pad, but movement can still either be controlled via analogue or d-pad on all formats. Invisible walls surrounding a throw-in are now gone, and auto-slides/clearances seem to have vanished.
Manual keeper has also returned. Hurrah!

2010 Master League Play Through - Part 2
19th August, 2009 07:54:00pmPosted by TheEditor
I'd been knocked out of the England Cup, the Europa League, and Nathan Delfouneso loathed me for playing him as a midfielder. With the first half of the season still fresh in my mind, I was ready to continue on my jolly journey of Master League discovery and tackle the remaining 5 months of blood, sweat, and tears.
I'd finished the year quite poorly, and thought nothing would benefit me more than giving my squad a little nip and tuck in certain areas. They say that when in Rome, do as the Romans do, so I figured that when in the transfer window, make...transfers. Ahem.

2010 Master League Play Through - Part 1
18th August, 2009 05:25:00pmPosted by TheEditor
Ahh, Master League. A jewel in the crown of the PES series both past and present. Having said that, even the biggest fans will have to admit the mode has been going a little downhill in the past few years, and with very little advancement from game to game, was in danger of becoming obsolete.
Then rejoice, my friends, when I say that Master League has been thoroughly upgraded and, dare I say it, is returning better than ever. Why? Well read on, as I take you on a journey spanning literally hours in Part 1 of PESFan’s Master League play through.

We’re starting to get the first few press reactions from around the world as journalists everywhere play the latest PES2010 code. More will be posted as and when we see them, but so far the feelings seem to be positive.
EuroGamer
..there's no question Konami has turned sharply away from the cul-de-sac into which the series appeared to be disappearing last year, and if nothing else PES 2010 looks like it will serve as a decent manifesto for the Japanese developer's future plans.
...just as worthy of applause is the increased transparency off the pitch, with a number of structural changes that allow you to understand and adjust players, positions and tactics without the need for laborious trial-and-error.

PES 2010: 360 Degree Movement and Other Features Confirmed

360-degree control will be available on both the PLAYSTATION®3, Xbox 360 and PC-DVD versions of the game via the analogue sticks on the respective controllers. The system will allow players to spread the ball with ease, opening up new attacking and defensive possibilities. PLAYSTATION®3 owners will also benefit when using the Dual Shock’s D-Pad, but Xbox 360 and Win D-Pads are limited to eight-directional control due to technical limitations of the hardware.

Does the crowd make any noise relevant to action on pitch?
Yes. Depending on if you play a home or away game, the overall fans will react accordingly. If an away team has the ball for too long they will begin to get jeered, with the home team getting more regular cheers. Same goes for goals/fouls/pen appeals/etc.
What’s the situation with selecting kits?
Like PES2009, the team is restricted to only 2 kits each and different elements of the kits are not interchangeable.
Do a player’s stats change when being placed in different positions?
Yes. The players overall ability number will drop depending on if you play him out of position. Play a striker in CF position and he might have 76, move him to LB and it might drop to 27.
PES2010 Hands-On
17th August, 2009 09:49:00amPosted by andyofbramall
Tell you what Jon, it’s that time of the year again. Yup, Konami have released the latest code of PES2010 to the press, and here at the bright lights of PESFan towers we’ve managed to get our grubby little mitts on it for your benefit. Oh happy days.
As always when trying a new build of PES for the first time, I headed straight for Exhibition mode. What better way to test the ins and outs of a new code than by reliving that most classic of world football matches - West Midlands Village vs. East London.
The first thing that struck me about the game was just how hard it was to run with the ball now. Granted, every time I play a new version of PES there’s always that little adjustment period, but I was completely beyond all redemption. Every time I tried to dribble around a player I came unstuck, it seemed almost impossible. Even faster members of the squad like Ashley Young could only run a finite amount before being thwarted by a member of the Hammers defence. Before I knew it, I was a goal down inside 10 minutes. What on earth was I doing wrong?
Several games later - it hit me.

In one of Konami's slickest videos to date, fans are finally able to see gameplay (albeit only fleeting glimpses) of PES 2010 for themselves after reading so much about it in the past few months.
Opening up with footage from the studio tour, the video then mixes the descriptions of the Team Style sliders with gameplay footage of them in action. Konami also make a point of saying how they’ve worked on overhauling the AI elements of the game, with a much higher focus on team strategy, with segments highlighting the effects of how changing the slider bars work in-game.

When Rikki Met Fernando

Last Friday our very own Rikki T (TthIRtYThreE) was at Liverpool’s Melwood training ground as part of his prize for becoming the UK’s PES Star. There, he had the experience of meeting one of the world’s best strikers in Fernando Torres. Here’s what he told us about his time:
"On the day I was so nervous and excited about meeting Torres. All I could think to myself while travelling there was, ‘What shall I say?’
When he came out of the room my heart was beating so fast, ha! I turned into a big kid, just couldn’t believe it was him really. Then I got introduced to him and I must say he is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met, just his attitude and how he took pictures with me was brilliant.

Which leads on to my next point. We’d like to offer you all the chance to have your questions asked in a Q&A session we’ll be holding over the next week. We won’t be able to answer them until Gamescom, but be assured we’ll try and get as many replied to as we can past that point.
