}} Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 is an association football video game in the Pro Evolution Soccer series by Konami. It has been announced that Lionel Messi will feature on the cover of the game in all regions.

Pro Evolution Soccer creator Shingo 'Seabass' Takatsuka has revealed that he's gone back to the drawing board for PES 2009 following the criticism of the 2008 edition. Seabass hasn't been content to rest on his laurels and had begun work on PES 2009 shortly after the release of the 2008 edition, where he promises a 'complete overhaul' of the game in absolutely every respect.

Release

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 had been confirmed for release on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Wii and Xbox 360 in the third-quarter of 2008.[3]

W.E.N.B will be the first to playtest the game on August 18, 2008.[4]

Gamplay

Close control more intuitive: • Manual cursor control • Adjusted trick control for easier control – more within natural control parameters than via special movements

Ball movement

• Ball has always been treated as separate entity, but 2009 has new air resistance calculations for trajectory of ball • Instant control. Buttons presses are no longer stored, making for a crisper playing style • Heavier foot-in tackles, depending on the length X is depressed • New friction routines to affect ball movement in terms of ground conditions • Backspin routines calculated so ball slows accordingly • The bounce of the ball can be used more effectively: players can flick the ball up to tee a shot, or to lift it over a defender’s trailing leg • Skills are now integrated more into the game. If a player has the ability, they will be able to perform deft turns others cannot and will be able to feint and shimmy within the confines of the control system • Player has to compensate for heaviness of ground when weighting passes in wet conditions or frozen ground

Teamvision enhanced

• Tactics change according to situation • Better off-the-ball movement – running to receive passes, etc • AI recognizes strategies that work and accumulates data on an ongoing basis within Master League and League modes

Visuals

Stadiums: • Graphic depiction of weather conditions unique to each stadium • Much more detailed lighting effects that mimic the time of day more closely • Key new grounds like Wembley, in total about 20 stadiums • LED Boardings (PS3 and 360 versions only) Players: • All new players models in game: everything reworked for additional detail • Specific new animations to make the game flow more: players now stumble, place a hand down so as to keep running • More individuality to movement of players: running and kicking styles, for instance: Ronaldo’s open legged stance before a free kick

Camera: • New vertical camera, allowing end-to-end view including ‘Player Focus’ zoom, panning in on key one-on-one situations • New distance drawing techniques using adjusted chromatic fields

Front End - Menus: • All new, clearer menu system • Match stats now on sub-menus if required • Much improved music choice

Edit Mode

Sound: • In addition to the importation of graphic data, music and crowd chants can also be added Graphics: • Pixel Paint function allows users to create team badges from scratch

Become a Legend

This is a new game mode in the PES series. In this the player gets to create a midfielder or a striker to control throughout his career, and catching the eye of other clubs to move higher up the league chain. Unlike FIFA's Be A Pro Mode, which has a time limit of 4 seasons, PES2009's version has an infinite number of seasons, a watered down version, called "Fantasista Mode", was seen in the PS2 version of J-League, a version of PES only released in Japan.

Overview • New long-term mode sees player guiding one player to glory • Control the destiny of a midfield/striking star • Player works within team structure, akin to popular ‘Fix’ mode – assisting play, scoring goals, etc • Default vertical view • Dedicated development data for player as game progresses • Full range of transfer opportunities: but fail to play well and you will be demoted to bench or even transferred • Based on popular Japanese mode, first time in Europe

Legends

• Online version of ‘Become a Legend’ • Use player created in solo mode • Play online with other ‘fixed’ position friends • Intricate play and teamwork rewarded with PES points • Upload finest moments for others to view and rate

Master League

• More intuitive menus • Easier to understand two-tier negotiations: team level and individual terms • Loyalty: players unhappy with terms, etc, will not play as well. A happy player will play better

Stadiums

There are some new stadiums in Pro Evolution Soccer 2009.

The new stadiums are:

Konami will get into further development for more stadiums.


It is thought that the Luzhniki and Ernst-Happel Stadia have been included mainly on the basis that they have both recently staged major football events, these being the 2007/08 UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Euro 2008 finals respectivley. In UEFA Euro 2008 the Tivoli Neu stadium also hosted several group D matches.

Leaks

[7] On July 23, 2008 there was a huge leak of information posted by Pro Evo Live League UK The leak had information about the gameplay, game modes, graphics, teams, stadiums, players, and online play. One huge part of the leak was there is going to be a "Become A Legend" mode. This mode is like the "Be A Pro" mode in FIFA 08.
