The sidestep issue and speed could of been better executed and with a bit more testing and development it would be a 9.5 Game. The problem is EA seem to be in a rush to release it, why they cannot wait for November god only knows.

There are still items and gameplay features that EA could learn from Konami and basically one thing that impresses me about PES09 as a solo offline player is opposition AI.

In konami's game the Opp AI seems to vary there attack a lot more and tend to use more of the pitch, why EA every year seem to want to re create the Sensible Soccer style pitch dimentions god only knows, The pitches need to have variety and feel bigger on EA games. You dont feel as though your in a big arena, the play is often pinball like because players feel stiffled, to compensate EA makes the players too small on the Tele-Can, alternatively PES feels wider, the players are crisper, even though in a peculiar kind of way EA's effor is graphically superior.

Konami's effort this year after 08 debacle is literally silky smooth and i mean ultra even on the most congested box, Fifa 09 on PS3 is slighly like playing a game on a PC, you feel that while its quite smooth the FPS are jumping about all over the shop- Something technically that should not happen considering some effects have been added to the graphics because they dont have that sharp look about them.

Many people complain about the crabwalking on the PS3. Is that what you mean with "sidestepping"? I played it on my friends PS3 and it wasnt too apparent to me. Then again I only played a couple games. I play on my 360.
