The Latest Edition of the World’s Most Realistic Soccer
Franchise Comes With Advancements Generated From Fan Feedback

GOOOOOAL!! Pro Evolution Soccer is back and better than ever!
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. announced today that Pro Evolution Soccer
2010 has shipped to stores for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The latest
iteration of the popular franchise scores with all new features, updates and
improvements generated from fan feedback, making this the best PES game to date!

The most realistic soccer game on the planet – Pro Evolution
Soccer 2010 – lives up to its name by delivering dramatic improvements in the
amount of licensed content as well as in-stadium atmospheres and player
likenesses. True soccer fans will recognize that the specific moves of real-life
players – including cover athlete Lionel Messi – have been incorporated into
this year’s version, ensuring that they will feel that the actual player is on
the field. Further building upon the games’ realism, PES takes place on the
largest stage in soccer – The UEFA Champions League. Additionally, the most
robust online offerings in the history of PES will include team and content
updates post launch.

With over 300 new movements added to the game, Pro Evolution
Soccer 2010, features animations that have been greatly improved, including more
individual skills also on show, such as new flicks and tricks. Several elements
have been completely reworked as well, with the dribbling, turning and kicking
animations greatly enhanced, including an intelligent revision to the passing
game. Passes made on the run will realistically differ from passes made at a
stand-still. This year’s version also focuses on enhanced excitement of matches
between players, making for a challenging experience that will constantly test
the player. Intuitive zonal defending will cover spaces and players need to look
constantly for new ways to attack. Lastly, enhancements to the Master League
features more team managerial elements such as sponsorships and youth team
coaching, bringing out the inner sports mogul in every fan.
