Exclusive UEFA Champions League License
New to the Pro Evolution Soccer series is an exclusive UEFA Champions League license. The UEFA Champions League is Europe's greatest club competition, and the license means the game will have all the elements and attributes of the Champion League Competition. The Ligue 1 Orange and Eredivisie are both fully licensed, and the England League (Premier League), Italian League (Serie A) and Spanish League (La Liga) are partially licensed. Manchester United and Liverpool are the licensed English clubs in Pro Evolution Soccer 2009.

The UEFA Champions League mode is given a new television-style presentation, where you get dramatic camera angles on replays, videos, and banner ads. Along with the official team names, upgraded graphics, and more life-like player movements, others watching you play might mistake the video game for an actual game on TV.

Become a Legend with New gameplay Mode
The new Become a Legend mode lets you create a player from scratch and focus on the individual player rather than a team. The game lets you customize the player down to the smallest detail, including his free kick run-up and celebration routine. If you use a supported camera, you can even put your face on the player and create team emblems. After you've created your character, the more your play, the more he improves.

After you have a legend you're satisfied with, you can export him to an online legends game with four other players, where you team up and play against computer teams.

Realistic Ball Movement
Balls now move around more realistically thanks to adjustments for friction, air resistance, backspin, and more. This allows for new strategies and techniques such as lifting balls over defenders legs and doing tee shots. Improvements have also been made in passing and the reactions of your teammates. The upshot is a game that looks and plays more like real life.

Play With and Against Friends Online
In addition to the Legend online mode, you can also challenge your friend to a 1-on-1 match. If your friends aren't online, there is also a quickmatch option that pairs you to a random online player.

With its exclusive UEFA Champions League license and updated ball movement and graphics, Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 will have soccer fans cheering.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best PES Ever!
Trust me this time. This PES version on 2009 is way way better than the previous years. The gameplay is awesome, which will make you find it difficult to quit playing. There so many game modes (exhibition, champions league, master league, network, be a legend). The customization level is hight were you can import players looks, names, jerseys, boots, etc.
The game have TWO negatives which are not a big deal (for me at least): 1) License: not all leagues appear with full license like jerseys, stadiums, players names. But this can be easily customized, imported, and/or updated. 2) Lagging play in online mode: you may experience some lag issues when playing with users not close to the your region. So the best deal is to choose whom to play with and everything will be just fine.
I would really recommend this PES 2009 for all football fans (Soccer fans in the US). Do not miss it!


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Useless
This game is useless. Bottom line - online lags like crazy. Are you serious Konami? How can you not fix this problem? I feel cheated out of my money. The only reason to play and keep playing footie games is to be able to play against the best human players around the world. Its impossible to have fun online with so much lag. I played Fifa until 2006 like an idiot because I didn't know PES even existed. PES blew me away and ever since I've been addicted to it. Last year's game didn't live up to expectations either but the gameplay was still there. The pace of this game is so slow..and scoring from outside the box..forget about it! I hate to say it but I'm going to have to go back to Fifa. Its still an inferior product game-play wise but its online is flawless. I love playing in those online matches with someone from France and the tension feels like I'm playing in a semi-final world-cup match. This is ridiculous. Selling my game on e-bay and buying fifa 09. I'm not giving PES the benefit of the doubt in 2010. THis is ridiculous. Are you serious Konami?


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Much Better than PES 08
When PES 2008 came out, I was as disappointed as most people with the quality of the game. It just seemed that Seabass and team had taken a huge step backwards. Not to say that I didn't enjoy it at some level and pour a large amount of hours into playing, but it just was not good enough for a next gen platform.
This time around, I was undecided whether to jump to the FIFA franchise. I went so far as downloading the demo but it was like playing through syrup so I decided to wait for PES 2009.
I'm glad I did. This time round, the graphics are slick, the music pumped up a notch and the addition of the Be A Legend mode is completely addictive. The ball physics are much more realistic and it plays an excellent game of soccer.
Not to say that everything is rosy in the garden - the commentary is still inept, the lack of licensing can be solved with an updated option file (but when oh when is Konami going to realize that North American players want to use the option files created by their European cousins!!) and I have yet to try the online mode (I mainly play Master League so no biggie but the signup was tedious).
In general, and in concert with other reviews, this is what PES 2008 should have been. The core gameplay is fantastic. Now Konami needs to build on this with game modes, presentation and licensing that can match FIFA.
