Glad the article's already generating so much debate. Are we being too hard on PES 2010? As it stands, the only people who can judge that is our inner critic, the WENB folk who've played it, and all the other magazine/web journalists whose articles will come out in a few weeks. If, as suspected, Adam and WENB come out with a more positive piece on July 15th, then it'll only add balance to a debate that’s already becoming a spiral of emotions, expectation and muddled facts. I suspect that, sadly (and for various reasons), some magazines won't be as positive a few weeks later - but even then, they'll be making judgments based on 50%ish code, which may end up making fools of us all.
Opinions, eh? They're just that, but as journalists, our imperative is objectivity - even it's sometimes hard to suppress yourself when writing about a game you genuinely love. The implication that we’re – and I take special umbrage here – not die-hard fans is plain insulting, unless having played the game almost literally every day for ten years doesn’t qualify. You’re often hardest on the ones you love, as the cliché goes. Clichés, as another cliché goes, being the truths we’re all bored with.
The final code could be a huge leap from PES 2009 (and it's already a good leap), or it may be fundamentally similar to this ‘50%’ build we played (in terms of AI, core ‘feel’ etc) bar the mo-cap, but with fixed online play and enhanced modes. Which would be fantastic – just not the revolution the first press release suggested. Duh. We'll have to see. After almost ten years previewing/reviewing games professionally, you're often able to tell when you think a game will make a big advance in its last few months of development, and when it won't. PES is still in the balance. Not in terms of it being anything less than very good - and, for me, the best football game there is, that I'll probably play obsessively - but in terms of achieving the promise, or revolution, of the early screens and press release. We’ve seen previous years’ Pro Evo builds months before release, and they sometimes don’t change as much as you’d hope before release – but as we say, this is the earliest we’ve ever seen code. My experience tells me it’s worth leaning to the side of caution, and risking being pleasantly surprised. I’m sure everyone here would rather go into the game expecting one thing, and then being pleasantly surprised by what they find.
As for our article, I think the partially critical tone is more a case of objectivity and, well, doing our job. The alternative is that we refuse to comment on certain issues, and make the article look entirely positive - which is disingenuous. We've seen plenty of games where 'big' changes were promised, only to see none, or very few. The opinion in the article is how we're currently reading it. The facts are the immutable, hard to disagree bits - and we're delivering plenty of those. I'm still really, really optimistic about PES, just trying to ‘normalise’ peoples’ more unrealistic expectations. I’m a fan like anyone else, and the article reflects my natural, human reaction to what I played. Do I think PES 2010 will be the best ‘next-gen’ PES yet? Almost definitely. Will it be the leap we were expecting? Harder to tell. How will it compare to FIFA 10? Again, we’ll have to wait for final code, since opinions are already split. Of the people I know who’ve played both, about 60% prefer FIFA – but I tend to trust the people in the 40% bracket, since their tastes have more traditionally agreed with mine. From what I can discern, the way Adam described FIFA 10 is the polar opposite of how another colleague described it. Who’s right? The answer’s probably somewhere in the middle, or a function of your ingrained bias, preference etc etc
When you've read the article, we look forward to answering any more queries after July 9th. When is the best time to do a Twitter Q&A? Sure there’s lots of stuff in the article that folk want clarified, and we’ll also be dishing up some new info on the blog. We might have more time to write that, too, to placate those think who muddle we things up, when under pressure to write a ten page feature, lay it up, check it etc in less than a day and a half.
Thanks. Oh, and be honest – fun this, isn’t it?

a ver si alguien puede hacer un resumen
nada de datos simplemente que si tiene criticas es porque son objetivos pero que tambien es porque es una beta a 50%
