Part 2: Two modes added on PES 09.

Konami introduced two modes in PES 09 which were become a legend and champions league. In become a legend you were able to make your character and choose what position he plays in. The character that you created starts off as a 17 year old and your first match is one which is a scout match in which you’re playing to impress.  Once the match is complete, a team makes an offer depending on how well you played and this determines whether you end up in a decent side.

When you start at your new team you’re a youth player, but gradually after playing a few matches and playing well, the manger puts you on the bench. In most of the games your player will come on as a sub. When you play well the manager rewards you by putting you in the starting eleven.

If you have a good game while playing in the first team for a long time like two or three seasons a bigger team will often come in for you during negotiations. As you continue playing become a legend you will see that you’re characters stats are improving slowly but sooner or later your their stats will be so good that it is easy for you to use them.

In champion’s league mode you can only have 6 multiplayer’s playing. The tournament starts by a series of stages such as the group stages and the knock out stage and the quarter final and the semi final and last and but definitely not the least the final. When you start to get further in the champions league it gets harder but if you have a strong team you will probably win the tournament.

PES 09: My views

When I played become a legend for the first time, the thing I liked about it was that your player could have crap stats at the starting of their career and by the end you could be world class and have stats around 95 or more. You also got to customize your player in whatever shape and form you wanted.
Champions league mode I found quite exciting because there was lot of teams like Man U and Barcelona to play against which made it challenging.  Also scoring a sick goal against a word class team like real Madrid was a great feeling and made you want to save the goal instantly. Being in the champions league final is quite nerve racking but definitely one of the highlights of this mode.

Things that ticked me off about PES 09

The main menu page didn’t look that nice because it looked too colorful. The player’s movement was also a concern because the movement was almost the same as PES 08. The commentating was not great at all, if you played pro for a long time like 3 or 2 hours that’s when you’d noticed that the commentating had stopped completely.

In the starting of become a legend the AI of the players are so low that when you controlling your pro evolution character and your asking the players around you to pass the ball and your character is in good position, they would normally run to the corner and get tackled or they would produce a really bad pass and lose the ball which got frustrating at times. The player’s faces were fine but some faces still were too shiny which made it look like the faces were plastic.
