Konami: "Not Long" for PES 2010 Demo

With the FIFA World Cup finals beckoning at the end of Europe's domestic season, it's essential that video game soccer games are a ripe to release and ride the wave of mania that will inevitably strike as soon as qualification is complete. To this end, Konami has been tweaking Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 in an attempt to regain ground lost to EA Sports' FIFA in recent iterations of both.

Konami's Jon Murphy, has stated today, "Code shown at Gamescom seemed to go down well with those who got a game or two. I've seen some discussions since (and a few videos) and certain points have caused concern, particularly keepers. As Seabass said the code was a month old and improvements are still being made.

" I have to say that from my experience of recent code keepers are much, much more competent. Cheap rebound goals are gone and most handle the ball well. Occasional mistakes are still made, but that's as it should be - it happens in real life."

So, when does the average human being get to play the game? "Not long to go now until we release a demo for everyone to test. You'll get a chance to see the new PES for yourselves and make up your minds about how we've reflected what the what fans want", says Murphy.
