Despite verschenktem potential and sloppy translation by far the best football game

The graphics overall not much has changed, a slight improvement I mean to realize the menus have been designed but a bit more modern compared to the previous year, albeit remains incomprehensible why it is not possible in some menus to use the pointer function ,

The different modes have been expanded. Thus, the pre-eminent in the previous year Champions Road mode in which to build his own team, yet should get some features. For victory of leagues and cups and the fulfilling of Zusazuaufgaben is now available money that you can spend on his club ground for new buildings. Through this one obtains then to get from opponents or the players get more experience points and new abilities can acquire the ability better players. In addition, you can also create their own Mii in a kind of extra mission. You simply select a Mii from the console, puts two players determined as a trainer and then play three players with its complete team. After the games, the performance of the Miis will each rated and depending on his skill points increase. On the first attempt jumped with me despite *** - coaches and actually quite good reviews only a * poker players out, but I had decided for the professional mode, where you get a few basic points to earn about the games a lot to can.

A new addition is the Master League mode, which I have not tried yet. Here you can have multiple season also manage and play his own team, inclusive transfers. Overall, probably a bit more realistic alternative to managerlastigere and Champions Road mode.

Also new this the Champions League, which makes anthem and appealing presentation of neat atmosphere. Too bad that in the previous year not even more FC Bayern is now with this, still a nice addition

For controlling and KI is to say that the basic principles have remained the same. Konami promised major improvements in this area and I have to say that I am quite disappointed. I do not think the defense has improved a lot, although it will now automatically a dedicated player the opponent's assigned it was but also actually already. PES once had the reputation that fall particularly realistic goals in this game, however, this does not at all for the KI-gates. The achieved their goals in three main variants:
1.You high balls from his own half in the tip, while you can do little.
2.Durch corner-Heri approvals and subsequent header, after a goal is scored often unrealistic, can hardly defend.
3.Durch simple run goal through the entire defense. Mostly you can assign half its defense an opposing player and attack manually, it's no good, the player simply by fueling and then scored from close range goal. This is especially frustrating when defender could intervene actually and the opponent run almost out of the way.

The AI ​​quirks have become more easily better. Again, there are a few frustrating bugs, which you can not go out of the way. So own defender race arrange deflected shots or through balls of the enemy behind him just before the corner to touch the ball again and thus allow the opponent a corner. Also, there is still the phenomenon, the player can not move to a two meters away ball but wait until the 10m distant opponent grabs the ball.

It is encouraging that a player Konami update with all transfers after the winter break provides when you use the online mode. If PES 2010 also again only appear next spring, it would be great if the Wii players or summer an extensive update would offer. If not with the unfangreichen editing mode this time an update in Self Directed possible. This is necessary anyway, unfortunately, among others in the German national team. The names are not original, but that "Kmala" to represent Klose and "Pomatski" Podolski is, each is probably clear. I was surprised about, inter alia, Lehmann, Kuranyi, Neuville and Metzelder continue to be found in the line-up - which ultimately all play no more for some time.

A negative point is incomprehensible, in my view, unfortunately, the German translation. I have the impression that here partially English terms were simply translated one to one and that apparently no German native has been involved with football expertise to the translation. Otherwise I can not explain how a "one-two" is from "double pass", is spoken of "edge" a "long pass" or why constantly points of doors - there probably has someone "to score a goal" simply times literally. Embarrassing is the whole then in actually motivating Champions Road additional tasks. The then read before "Turn kick" or "Win without a striker to points". The translation is a total of a little uncharitable, among German commentators, I can not discover too many new sayings unfortunately, although reportedly many taken new - but here I recommend anyway to the two English commentators switch - because that is coming more on mood.

Wanting to but here not overstate the negative points I would like to conclude by emphasizing that PES 2009 is by far the best football game on the Wii, in my opinion, is also ever. The control is unique and you do not want to miss and only the Champions Road mode motivated for many hours.
