Glasgow Play.com October Event report - by Marko9Gardinic
The first offline event of the new PESrankings season took place on Sunday 25th of October in Glasgow. With the clocks going back one hour, admin Marko decided against telling the players in the hope that they would turn up an hour early instead of turning up late! Crisps was the unfortunate player who failed to realise, calling Marko at 10.30am to ask why he wasnt at the venue yet even though it didnt start until 12pm. Oops!

PES Rankings Season 5 Kicks Off
20th October, 2009 10:25:00amPosted by TheEditor
After a thrilling climax to Season 4 which saw leng_jay walk away with 1st place in both the overall Rankings season leader board and the UK Main Event (in the process bagging himself a few grands worth of prizes), it's been a challenge to think of ways to make Season 5 a worthy successor.
But we think we've just about managed it. There are still details being ironed out, but suffice to say we've got a revamped PES Store, more events and better prizes, all built around a streamlined new site layout.

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.

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.

PES2010 Press Reactions

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
17th August, 2009 11:16:00amPosted by andyofbramall
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.

17th August, 2009 10:00:00amPosted by andyofbramall
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.
