Oh, erm, that'd be me. :-D
Yes, anyway, from what I've played so far, it's brilliant. Edited A LOT at the beginning. Although this is unnecessary, I like my game to have realistic players names and all the players to look exactly like their real-life counterparts.
Some players have the wrong boots, even though their right boots are selectable. Most Adidas boots, for example, have fake versions in the game without the stripes and custom Adidas symbols... however, all you have to do is go into edit and give all the players with these fake boots the real ones. It's surprising Konami just didn't give them the correct boots to start with. Also, sometimes players' hairstyles and face shapes are either one up or one down from the one they have been given. Eg. hair 31 or hair 33 when they really should have 32.
The team names and stadiums are all wrong as well, but we've known about this one for ages, so it isn't really a surprise. Edited all of these fairly quickly and easily.
Finally, and sadly, not all transfers have been updated. Chelsea have Duff and Johnson, but Makelele is still at Real, and Mutu at Parma. Cristiano Ronaldo still plays for Sporting Lisbon, too. Beckham is at Real Madrid though, and at least some of the transfers have been successfuly added into the game.
While actually playing the game, it seems really different from PES2. The game seems to be a bit slower, but much more realistic, with deflections and handballs having a lot of impact on the match. Also, the advantage rule following fouls is ok, but it sometimes is used when it shouldn't be, and isn't when it should, if you get what I'm saying.
The Master League has been totally revamped as well, with a single Division 2, and then loads of different sections to Division 1.
The PES Shop, from what I've seen so far, is also looking top notch, and I'll be spending a lot of time collecting credits to buy some of the stuff on offer in there (including Chilavert!!!!!!).
So, yeah, anyway, absolutely brilliant from what I've played - miles better than PES2, and just simply the greatest football game ever.

When do CA Games close?

You'll be happy with the new crowd based features, Stu.
You can make Liverpool's stadium only half full, just like it always is when they're playing awful, which is like, all the time.

While I'm here, I'll mention the create-a-player mode.
It's a lot deeper than the PES2 version was, and it takes on more of a SmackDown role - you have a lot of different facial and body features that can be given to your player, and there are so many choices from each category.
There are only three licensed Adidas boots so far, and only three models that can be used to create your own boot. I'm hoping I'll unlock some more, as right now three real pairs of boots isn't good enough. The created boots can be good, but you can't place the patterns on them or anything. There are colour options for the front, back, middle, lace and tongue - these areas come in different shapes depending on the boot, but other than you choosing a boot and adding the colour, this isn't really a proper creative feature.
And you can play in a completely empty stadium, which is quite funny. Also funny is when you put the home team's support to nothing and the away team's to maximum. Genius.

It's Opel, but the camera is so far away most of the time you don't even notice.

Out of the players they've signed this season, they have Geremi, Glen Johnson, Damien Duff and I think Joe Cole.
Other than that, all the players are still in their older clubs.
And there is a way of transporting players, I think, but as down said, you have to buy it from the PES Shop using points. Points can be won by winning different cups and leagues, so they're quite easy to come by.
