    I haven't read about any changes that Konami are making from 09 to 10, so I just played the demo expecting, well, nothing I guess.
     
    To be honest I'm not sure if I enjoyed it or not, but it certainly feels different to me. I admit to have not played a lot of 09 so maybe the changes were in there too, perhaps someone can elighten me. The main things I noticed other than the slight improvements to graphics (although some players just look plain odd, check out Jamie Carragher for one) are how it feels when you have and don't have the ball. With the ball I felt a lot more in control with certain players like messi, torres etc and less so with others, which is as it should be I guess. When defending, steering your player appears to be easier, however tracking the better players seems more difficult. Playing against the CPU or a friend I found it almost impossible to tackle messi, but again I suppose that should be the case. 
     
    All in all I think it plays different to what I'm used to, which is what a lot of people seem to be asking for. As to whether it will be a good/bad different is hard to tell after only playing for a short time.
     
    So, thoughts?

    Here's some gameplay footage if you can't be bothered to download the demo or whatever.

    I like it. 
    Response times are poor but it sounds like the final version will be a little more refined and tightened in that respect.
     
    I am really looking forward to the game.

    That could account for some of the problems I experienced with the demo, so hopefully the full version will correct that.

    I thought it was terrible. I really liked PES2009's gameplay, but after having spent a good amount of time with FIFA10, PES2010 just felt so damn rigid. I had not yet fully realised how much more fluid FIFA10 is thanks to its touted "360 degrees dribbling!" and how constraining only having 8 plains to run over is. Every single mechanic just feels so much more smooth in FIFA10, from the dribbling to the passing to the shooting.
     
    PES2010 does have better character models, and a more vibrant art style, I'll give it that, but that's the only thing it has over FIFA10 for me.

    The demo without the commentary voice sound makes it look soft.... Also they need to add more animation while running, it just feels like a cartoon background that repeats over and over again......... Other than that I love the gameplay and graphics look awesome
