After the very disappointing debut in the next-gen consoles (except the Wii, where it's recognized as an excellent effort) with PES 2008, Konami followed up with a very improved PES 2009. The next installment promises another good improvement too, as Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 will include a very-much-needed revamp of the Master League, a staple of the series.
The mode will include a host of new features, and most will focus on the managerial aspect of the game, with additions like youth squads, sponsorships and real money management (no more we'll be using PES points to sign up players!)
Great work, Konami, we've been asking this for years. Now, fix the goalkeepers, if you please, and you'll have an excellent football game in your hands.

Konami reveals expanded managerial elements, including new fiscal, sponsorship, and youth team elements
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has outlined significant advances to the Master League section of its forthcoming PES 2010 title.
Master League has proven one of the key attributes to the PES series’ longevity, and PES 2010 will introduce a number of new elements that will contribute to the overall realism and lasting appeal of the new game.
On selecting the Master League option, players are now presented with a menu split into three areas: ‘Club House’, ‘Stadium Walk’, and ‘Office’. Each of these is an umbrella for different parts of a manager’s role, with ‘Club House’ used for tactical and match day options, ‘Stadium Walk’ for main game settings, and ‘Office’ for scouting and player acquisition dealings.
The in-game menus are now much simpler to navigate, and players can jump between the three areas with ease. The Club House element has also seen the creation of an all-new Youth Team section, which works alongside the first team squad. As the game progresses, the player can opt to invest in talented members of their youth team to fast-track their development. This burgeoning talent can then be introduced into the first team, as with so many real-life ‘academies.’
The Office area is where all transfer and financial dealings take place. Real currency is now used in PES 2010, and additional monetary routes are also available. Sponsorships can now be negotiated, with player securing big money deals with companies that can be used to invest in the team and youth set-up. Results on field affect the direct value of the club tio interested parties, and fan clubs are also used as a barometer of the club’s success.

this is going to be huge around here....
@Arsenal: I guess it would, dunno why they'd botch the Master League for Wii if the PS2 version is usually the same as the next gen ones
@outlaw: FIFA was the game that needed improvement the most, so it's logical. PES just needs to get to PES4-5-6 quality with HD visuals and engine and it'll be the best with some margin
There's nothing wrong with them, just that they aren't improving as much as FIFA is.
Sounds good on paper, let's see how it turns out. BTW, is this included in the Wii version as well?
I'm a Wii guy, so I'm ignorant about the HD versions. What was wrong with them compared to the Wii version? Usually it's the other way around :(
No way, this is about PES, not your football franchises you think are better (but in reality aren't) :-P
I think you should have added that thing i asked you to in the chat :-P
Like it or not, PES 2009 is a BIG improvement over 2008. Yes, it's still missing, and no, it doesn't reach PES4, 5 and 6 greatness, but you can't see it as anything but a step forward. You can think of it as a small step, and it's fine, but no way it's a step backwards
PES 2009 an improvement ?
Good joke....
