With the possibility of PES 2011 news not too far into the future, Jett gets back onto video to give us some more thoughts on this years release.
Also got to love the humour, putting on the shades Jon Murphy style!

It’s crazy when you think about just how long we’ve been waiting for a proper PES, a true successor to the PES 5/6 games that graced the PS2. In 2007 we got our first cross platform nextgen game, and 3 years on we’re still scratching our heads trying to figure out what went wrong. Why the change in direction? Why the sudden drop in quality? Why the change in philosophy? All questions that we’ll probably never get answered.
But to this day we’re still here. We still hope, and still wait patiently for Konami to deliver a game we’ve been dreaming of. It’s what keeps us here, and keeps us holding on – a decade of greatness doesn’t evaporate into thin air. And while the competition had swayed millions of gamers, there are still millions who haven’t found what they’re looking for in a football game from the FIFA series.
Left in limbo, these loyal fans keep on waiting. It’s not all doom and gloom, however, as there’s another reason for being optimistic. Through these years there’s one fact that no one can ignore, and that’s PES is improving.

Wow, we were battered last night. 7-2. Not a nice feeling I can tell you.
But every Milan fan will probably tell you while an embarrassment wasn’t predicted, a loss certainly was. Even before injuries decimated our squad, we all knew Man UTD were the stronger team and any positive result would be quite an achievement. As the match finished those problems came to the fore, and with it my desire to fix them. Where else to start, than PES ML.
In many ways building a team with individuals is something unique to PES, and something the FIFA series hasn’t got to grips with. Manual control? No chance, I prefer to feel the difference between players, and for their attributes to be key – apart from strength and speed. For Milan missed a true goal scorer, someone who can score 20+ in a season. Not a tricky player (Dinho), or a young quick threat (Pato), someone in the Van Nistelrooy mould.
Then there’s a goalkeeper, Dida and Abbiati keep competing to see who can do worse rather than better. And even when the likes of Seedorf, Zambrotta, Nesta and Oddo are fully fit, there’s a concerning aging trend going on that will need a look to the youth. While the result was more than frustrating, the thought of improving the squad isn’t. And in a series where the likes of Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas, Messi etc have a place, there’s no better place to start than in PES.
And to finish…GET YOUR WALLET OUT BERLUSCONI!
The end.

Just wanted to let you guys know Kitana Media Network has just opened up a new blog, based on Ubisoft’s Pure Football!
Announced around a week ago, the game is focused on crazy 5-a-side arcade fun, and certainly wants to be the side order to the main course (Suff and his analogies!).
