Summary

PES 2010 focuses on enhancing the excitement of matches between players, making for a truly challenging experience that constantly tests the player. Intuitive zonal defending covers spaces and players need to look constantly for new ways to attack. PES 2010 focuses on being a real soccer simulation, as it requires both strategic play and quick reactions, as in real life. In addition to key out-field elements, goalkeepers are more versatile and with abilities matching those of modern shot-stoppers. The game's referees have also been reworked, with smarter AI elements allowing them to make more balanced calls during matches. PES 2010 has undergone a major visual revamp, with its celebrated player likenesses and animations now even closer to those of real-life players - including live player expressions to be depicted with an improved lighting system which differentiates between various conditions!

Cynamite

We enjoyed PES 2010's slower pacing, but FIFA 10 is slightly better. Especially FIFA's extensive licenses are missing from PES 2010.

The king is back on top, on the modding-friendly PC at least. [Christmas 2009, p.93]

PC Zone UK

Immaculate physics. [Christmas 2009, p.84]

PES 2010 brings hope to Konami’s series with its new iteration. Nice gameplay and fantastic visuals for the actually first Next-Gen Pro Evolution Soccer game.

This year it is really a pity that Konami forgot to properly convert PES to the PC because Pro Evo could have won the virtual football battle against EA Sports - especially with graphics.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)

Visuals: improved. Tactics: Improved. Chorals: Improved. Collision Detection: Worsened. Team Mates AI: Debilitated. Main Commentary: Absolutely annoying. Result: Stay with last years PES. [Dec 2009]

PC Gamer UK

Still playable, but coasting on a years-old reputation that needs to be renewed sharpish if Pro Evo is to stay relevant. [Dec 2009, p.82]

Total PC Gaming

Improvements are there, but lean toward the superficial side of this prolific franchise. [Issue#26, p.53]

Dario S gave it a4:
Worst team AI ever, with players standing on the field as you run past them. Unfair referee that does not see how the CPU tackles you heavily. Slow response to movements. PES classical robotical runnig style. Unrealistic dificulty levels, at higher lvls CPU runs way faster than you.
