Overview
Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (PES 2009, known as World Soccer: Winning Eleven 2009 in Korea and Japan) is a football video game in the Pro Evolution Soccer series, which was made by Konami. It is also the exclusive licensed game of the UEFA Champions League. The Wii version is known as Winning Eleven Play Maker 2009 in Japan. PES 2009 was succeeded by Pro Evolution Soccer 2010.
Gameplay has been changed from previous versions for Pro Evolution Soccer 2009, with key additions to the Teamvision system, tactics changing as reported by situation, off-the-ball fluency, and AI recognizing strategies that works accumulating data on an ongoing basis within Master League and League modes. Another new addition is the readjustments for ball movements, with new air resistance calculations for the trajectory of the ball. There are also new friction routines to affect ball movement in terms of ground conditions, backspin routines are calculated so that ball slows accordingly, and the bounce of the ball can be used more effectively: players can flick the ball up to tee a shot, or to lift it over a defender's trailing leg.
The game was met with positive to average reception. GameRankings and Metacritic gave it a score of 85.46% and 84 out of 100 for the Wii version; 77.27% and 77 out of 100 for the PlayStation 3 version; 77.20% and 75 out of 100 for the PSP version; 76.62% and 79 out of 100 for the PC version; 73.54% and 74 out of 100 for the Xbox 360 version; and 68.67% and 72 out of 100 for the PlayStation 2 version.
The PS2 version was the 100th best-selling game in Japan in 2008, which sold 135,128 copies, with total lifetime sales of 680,152; while the PS3 version was the 32nd best-selling game that year, which sold 297,896 copies.
