14th October, 2009 09:44:00amPosted by TheEditor
Gaming site Eurogamer have posted an nice article (if at a ridiculously early time) entitled 'PES 2010: The Road to Redemption?', and it's a jolly good read.
"'It is really up to the user, if he wants to change the settings, to customise their playing style and tactics, that's all up to the user and we do not blame the user. If he doesn't even touch a single setting, he will still enjoy PES 2010.'

Posted by French site JVN - here's an interview with Seabass, translated by Google into only slightly broken English.
