The biggest and baddest Football Sim is back for another version, and as per usual is coming to all the consoles and PC.

Aptly named Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Working title) will include what Konami are calling "Teamvision" this effectively :

"Teamvision will totally change the way PES fans play the game, because the adaptive AI forces players to constantly rethink their tactics. So, for example, if you prefer to run the ball down the wing and knock in a cross to a tall centre forward like Peter Crouch, your opponent will quickly change their tactics to close down the wide players and mark your hitmen more heavily. Similarly, if your favoured method of defence is to protect the back four with a sweeper -- then the other team will quickly pick up on this and change their attackers to take advantage of your formation."

In short, the computer AI will conteract your tactics. Other improvements are touted to include more scope for skilled dribbling, tricks and neat inter-player passing moves. Setting up a free-kick isn't quick as restrictive either, whether you're defending or attacking. You can change the number of players in the wall if you're defending or, if you're on the attacking, plan runs more intricately and position specific target men for the kicker to aim for. The top improvment however is the graphics which should be truely next gen.
