Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 : PlayStation 2 Description
Expanded Description In Pro Evolution Soccer 2009, Konami's critically acclaimed soccer series maintains its focus on a smooth, realistic simulation of the sport. Exclusive to the series this year is a Union of European Football Associations Champions mode of play, featuring a top-tier selection of real-life players, teams, and stadiums that participate in UEFA league play. Over 20 National teams and 40 Club teams are available for play under this license, in venues such as Stockholm Arena, Camp Nou, and Wembley Stadium.
PES 2009 boasts a number of presentational improvements over the previous year's game, using a new engine for sharper graphics and smoother animations, at higher resolutions and from additional camera angles. Computer-controlled teammates and opponents are designed to constantly strive for the best position on the field, through an enhanced "Teamvision" system. As in earlier Winning Eleven and Pro Evolution games, teams and players may be edited, and a USB camera can be used to import custom player face and team logo graphics.
