PES adds to its rosters - PESFan

TheEditor · 16-10-2008, 11:31 AM

Konami unveils first PES 2009 club update as eagerly-awaited football epic hits stores across Europe.As Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH’s PES 2009 hits stores today for PLAYSTATION®3, Xbox 360 and PC-DVD, the publisher has announced a free downloadable update for early November, expanding upon the games licensed teams and in-game elements.

The download will be available in about three weeks, and updates four Spanish sides – Athletico Madrid, Sevilla, Racing Santander and Valladolid, – all of whom will be officially licensed. Furthermore, it will also update the kits and team rosters of many teams within the game. The UEFA Champions League mode will also benefit from the new update, with twelve more teams added to the club list, with proper UEFA Champions League kits and kit markings added. Amongst the teams fully updated within this mode now will be Marseille, Juventus, and Basel.

The new raft of additions further demonstrate Konami’s commitment to expanding the licence roster in the PES series. Every aspect of PES 2009 has been reworked from the ground up, with new player models, AI elements and physics routines all combining to create the most advanced and realistic football game ever. The game also includes new Become a Legend and Legends mode, wherein players guide one player within a team either solo or online. Expanding upon this, the update also adds a new Theatre of Legends function which allows users to upload replay data for friends to view, and to view those of others.

The PES series has always been famed for its deep yet accessible control system, but the new game is aiming even higher. PES 2009 offers an unprecedented level of control, redefining the intricacies of first touch, close control and ball distribution, while also enhancing its shooting and AI mechanisms to create an all-round footballing experience. New control systems wherein the player can now perform tricks and feints without the use of special moves have been implemented, and the way the player guides the ball has been changed. The PES series has always treated the ball as a separate entity, but new calculations related to the air resistance and friction of the ground make passing and movement in PES 2009 a great deal more realistic.

“PES 2009 is already a million seller in pre-orders alone, but these new additions show how we are determined to continually improve the content of the game,” commented Jon Murphy PES European Team Leader for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. “We hope the updated team data and new UEFA Champions League elements will show our ongoing support for PES 2009’s team rosters, and look to continually enhancing such sections in the coming year at no extra cost.”

So there we have it, news which will surely please PES players. We've been waiting for some concrete information on the DLC every since it was confirmed in an interview with Seabass, and here are the key points from this press release

It's FREE
It will be available in early November, NOT tomorrow as other sites reported
Four new Spanish Licenses
Updated rosters and kits
Updated Champions League teams and badges
Theatre of Legends mode

All in all, a great free update wouldn't you say?
It's a big step forward compared to previous games where online PES players would be left with squads nearly a year out of date, but with this downloadable content those problems will hopefully be over.
More DLC is planned to be released throughout the year, so remember to check back on PESFan for the real scoop!

Interesting news...

*waits for Man Utd fans to moan about no mention of the blue CL kit....*

albatross79 · 16-10-2008, 11:36 AM

Oooh, ace news

hammer · 16-10-2008, 11:37 AM

So when they send an update through, will that affect changes we've made to other teams as well?

Be a right pain if you've spent hours editing a team, only to get a few new licensed teams, but the rest set back to default!

Hang on a minute, just read the bottom part properly and saw this:

Very good point. Editing becomes pretty useless if a new file just overwrites all your editing work.... Hope we'll get an answer to this question soon!

Right Seabass... You.... me.... OUTSIDE!!! NOW!!!

pazza73 · 16-10-2008, 11:41 AM

ok, this is good news...shame it'll probably screw up OF's based on the released game....

At least Konami are showing some effort. It is clear La Liga teams are negotiated separately (just like TV rights), so it took some time to get these other 4. Maybe by next summer, we'll have the whole league patched lol

markhtar · 16-10-2008, 11:42 AM

thats good news!! Anyway u can tell them to update online - to allow 2 players to play together from same console!! :P Use your powers of persuasion!

But it could be argued that you stole it from Burnout or whatever game you mentioned there. So Seabass is probs thinking this, if you get him, he will give you to Criterion...
