PES 2010 focuses on enhancing the excitement of matches between players,
 making for a truly challenging experience that will constantly test the
 player. Intuitive zonal defending will cover spaces and players need to look
 constantly for new ways to attack. PES 2010 focuses on being a real football
 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! Stadium detail is
 also massively improved, with the grass and other in-stadium elements
 finely depicted.
