PES 2010 Playtest Report – Momentum Maintained

As me and Suff strolled towards Konami HQ yesterday morning, with Starbuks coffee in hand, we were relaxed. A few jokes here and there, and a conversation about what he got up to last night ‘with the lads’. To say we were in good spirits would be an understatement.

It was a huge contrast from the first playtest back in June. In the months between Konami have done a great job in reassuring us how well the game is coming along, and certainly left us in confident mood before we got our hands on the latest build.

Before I go on, lets get one thing straight, we’re still playing development code. The figure was around 75%, so still plenty of time to add new things and tweak the hell out of the game.
