I never like this game until someone comes out with a patch though since I like the Bundesliga teams.

I don't have it but I know where to find it if Amazon.com or any other retailer decides not to sell it in the US.

I bought PES 5 and PES 2009 for the PC from here.

http://www.cdwow.us/games/PC/PRO-EVOLUT ... pc/9839151

Their price for PES 2010 is only US $33.99, but I don't have any interest in playing this year's version.

Thanks Feanor, just ordered a copy. Weird cause PES 2010 (PC) is listed at Amazon.com in their search but it's not listed.

Finally got my mitts on the PES 2010 PC demo last night, and I really like it.

I think the biggest improvement is the defensive AI for the AI-controlled players. They don't just stand there like living statues when the human-controlled defender gets beat.

AI defenders also don't overpursue as badly as in past games. I actually saw an AI-controlled defender race toward a 60-40 ball and back out, hitting the brakes and back-pedaling into a defensive stance when it became apparent that the AI player had no chance to get the ball.

I also saw some pretty nice 1-on-1 battles for possession in midfield between AI players. Another nice touch was that dominant players seemed to stand out more this year. Ballack and Gerrard were beasts in the midfield whenever I played with Germany or Liverpool, respectively, and Messi was a handful when I played against Barca.

The game also is very pretty and runs smoothly, even on my aging laptop.

My criticism remains from recent editions of the series: The ball tends to pinball a bit too much in traffic.

Otherwise, I'm really enjoying the demo. I'll give FIFA 10 a go, but I doubt it will run well on my lappy. FIFA 09 stuttered when the ball was in the air, so I doubt FIFA 10 will be butter.

Take care,
PK

I've tried the PES 2010 and FIFA 2010 demos for the PC, and I'm back in the Konami camp this year.

Both are solid games, with plusses and minuses. But the flaws in FIFA irritate me more than those in PES!

FIFA still relies on north-south play way too much for my tastes. The ball moves at a realistic pace, but the players run like Usain Bolt. Midfield play is too loose or even non-existent, with rapid, flowing play through the midfield hitting a brick wall near the top of the box. Plus I still don't like how top opposing AI forwards rely on trick moves to get in position for shots on the full sprint.

Just a minor aside, but I also think PES is a better-looking game this year for the first time in ages. Less motion blur on my ancient lappy than FIFA, too.

The ball still snaps around the midfield too quickly in PES, but at least there's midfield buildup. Wing-and-cross play is still too effective in PES, but at least there's wing play.

Plus the defensive help AI is much better this year in PES, and I've already seen a nice variety of goals and gameplay in the demo, even more than usual from PES.

For example, I lost 2-1 today playing as Liverpool against Barca. Henry scored both goals.

The first goal went right through Reina's legs from a tight angle. Looked cool, as Reina fell right on his ass after the ball passed through his wickets. On the second goal, Henry and Carragher were battling for a long lob pass, and Carragher completely flubbed the timing of his leap for the header. The ball dropped behind him, Henry sprinted through alone and slotted a shot past Reina. That was WAY cool.

Two solid games again this year. But unlike last year, I prefer PES this year.

Take care,
PK

1st Gaming Access patch will be out tonight Rod. I don't get on here much during the weekend, so thought I would post a FYI

Thanks Squidly it'll be next week before my copy shows up in the mail. Btw are those jokers using Facebook to access the patches?

They changed the way you downloaded PES 2009 updates. At first you went to their site and downloaded them. Then they required you to get it thru Facebook which required a Facebook account. I bitched about that on their forums and they deleted my thread.

I never had to go through facebook to get any of their patches. Are we talking the same thing?

Don't know if the FIFA PC version is different but the console versions don't have some of the problems you mentioned.

Can't tell you how much I'm enjoying PES 2010 for the PC this year, and I haven't even patched it. A very good game.

Take care,

I got this game today for the 360. So far so good. The gameplay is a lot of fun. It seems more up and down than FIFA since the defenders give more space. The Master league is set up extremely well and the menu redesign on everything looks fantastic. I am very pleased with the game so far, but have only played a couple hours.

I found the PS3 demo to play quite nicely. It looks better visually than FIFA 10 which really surprised me, and from what I can tell, there are more animations as well. That said, it played way too fast for my tastes. I'm guessing there is a speed slider like FIFA has? I would hope so at least. It is true that the defenders do seem to give you a little more space to breath unlike FIFA which is nice.

Honestly, I enjoy both games, although the PES is only a demo at this point. Plus, I haven't heard the presentation in PES nor have I really gotten a good idea of the screen interface. I've never been a fan of the PES bland interface.

I'm far from a soccer afficienado, but from what I can tell they are both fun games.

Picked it up for the PS3. I don't know, I have been playing this game for so long on the PS except the last two years that the controller feels more natural to me. Player models are amazing and even the faces are more accurate than Fifa IMO. Like what see so far.

I have not seen a slider for game speed. You must have really had a problem with past PES games because this game plays slow compared to every past PES game. The developers mentioned in interviews that 2010 is the slowest PES ever. I am finding the game speed to be really good. With the more realistic space given by the defenders, the slower pace allows for really good plays to be set up.

Yeah some of the faces are incredible, especially from certain angles on the replays. I never thought I would see the day when PES looked better from an overall visual aspect than FIFA.

After playing some more matches I am starting to get a good feel for the AI. It really has improved over 2009. My CPU teammates no longer make me want to throw my controller at them from time to time. Occasionally they miff me a bit, but not to the point they send me into a near rage as in past PES games.

I have done a few matches in the become a legend mode. I sure wish FIFA would have used a similar camera angle with its similar mode. The camera angle in PES is phenomenal, which makes that mode a lot more enjoyable.

It sure is cool to have two great playing soccer games this year. Both FIFA and PES are the best they have ever been.
