Anyone still remember when the Pro Evo series was good? It was a while ago now but we here at PEOWW used to love it. A lot. Then it got all rubbishy leaving a Fat Fwank sized opportunity for EA which they took with both hands.
Anyway, Konami have moved the date forward for PES: Whatever. It will now launch just a week after FIFA 2011. Konami have, rather bullishly, attributed this move the fact that PES is apparently going to be good this year, thanks to the annually-repeated Seabass dogshit of “smarter AI” and “revamped passing” and whatever else, although we’ll be amazed if our first play doesn’t involve us battering the opposing keeper before losing 1-0 thanks to a badly spilled save and a cheeky tap-in [1].
Basically we don’t care but equally we’re getting very bored of EA’s efforts now as well so hopefully Konami can get the series back on track , if only to spark EA out of their current sequence of minimalist yearly (more if you include their national tournament games) updates.
