Played PES 2010 at my mates tonight on the 360, It was in Italian due to him being a moron and having a flashed 360 but atleast it gave me a chance to try it before i wasted my money on it.Anyone who thinks this is gonna be better that fifa10 is sadly in for a massive shock.
I dont speak Italian and his Italian is poor at best however he managed to set it to the hardest difficulty and told me to try it because i too was looking forward to it.I have not played a football game this poor since Ronaldo V Soccer, Infact i would say this is worse.
I played as England and beat Spain 13-0 on the hardest difficulty, The goalkeeper only dived when i shot from distance, I walked the ball into the net 3 times, the keeper never even dived he just stood there rooted to the spot all game aslong as i shot from inside the box, The defenders are the same they just seem unable to defend and follow you but rarely get close enough to challange and when they do try you can just knock it to the side and go past them without even trying.
When you play a game in a foreign language on the hardest difficulty win 13-0 and David James scores 5 goals coming from his own net without a single player even attempting to challange him you know your playing a poor game.
I had a feeling the keepers were going to be alittle dodgy since i watched the in game trailer of Barca-Liverpool where you see Torres score twice and the keeper being rooted to the spot for both goals, Though maybe it was just one of those things but having seen it happen 13 times in a single game i can now say PES 2010 is off my list of games to buy.
Online or against friends i dont know how it will play but seeing as the main weakness is the plank in the net i'll guess pretty **** poor if its ever 1 on 1 your scoring on conceeding a goal unless you somehow dont get it on target.
