New trick moves, such as Zidane’s 360 turn which can be performed by anyone, the fakies are still in there with more variations and a sort of over-head flick, these Moves can be seen here http://www.newstarsoccer.com/html/we7_master_class.htm . They can be performed using the analogue stick, but don’t fret, manual pass is still there.
A “Liberio Grande” mode has now been implemented, where you choose to be 1 person of the team, a lot of fun apparently.
The “Enemy” AI can evolve, supposedly meaning that it’ll learn how you play.
80% of the animations have been re-done, so you don’t hit a 30-yard screamer the same as you hit a tap in.
The referee now plays advantage, when this happens there is a little icon of a ref with his hands down signalling the advantage. But the home/away will affect the ref’s decisions.
No more “Oranges001” fake names will now be used.
Now there’s a WE Shop (Likely to be re-named PE Shop) where you can buy stadiums, hair-styles, more options for edit mode, faster gameplay, the Adidas Tricolor ball which will most likely be removed due to the WE= Adidas and PES= Umbro
4 teams have been licensed, AC Milan, Parma, Lazio and Roma, it is yet to be knows whether these will be carried into PES3, but it is reported that Konami are chasing other teams for their kits during the wait until PES3
The crowd will leave the stadium as the game progresses if you’re doing a Sunderland. Their clothing will also change depending on the weather, the crowd noise is also much more lively, like the World Cup in Japan.
There will be 20 stadiums in total, new ones include:-
Stamford Bridge,
Stadio Delle Alpi,
Stadio Olympico,
Sapporo Dome,
Anfield
Official names and kit for South Korea (!!!)
The Master league has been redone, 64 teams divided into 4 divisions, depending on their location, theres now a player search function
Players can now get bandages for injuries on their legs and head, they also drink water to replenish energy.
New sequence before Penalties, which shows the player placing the ball on the spot, this has been seen with Roberto Baggio and Beckham
No more of that crappy shirt tugging when 2 opposion players clash.
You can name your cursor instead of P1 or P2 etc.
And Finally, crossing is harder and less accurate when performed whilst running.
:D

Does it really matter what the ball looks like? As long as it's round it doesn't make any difference from where I'm standing.

Urgh, after playing PES2 non stop that crappy Umbro ball has annoyed the hell out of me, sounds ridiculous, but it's so dull! The Fevernova ball looks so realistic when spinning in the air.
And the Sportivo Finale ball (Champions League) which is gonna be used in PES3 is just as funky.

Well, there were 16 different directions in PES2, and i didn't mind that, as you just needed to let go of R1 of you wanted to turn tightly or turn 180°. The fact that the referee still gives free-kicks/penalties when you get the ball and then touch the player really does suck. Also, i'm not too keen on the referees being biased towards one team, as this should only happen when playing at Trad Brick Stadium (Old Trafford). Oh, and i'm not sure whether PES3 will have the Adidas license, as Owen was wearing a pair of the new Umbro boots in the latest PES3 demo of the game. Just thought i'd spoil it for you :)

You could theorectically (Eugh big word) do this. There are 2 teams in the game (WE FC and PES United) which can be edited into two Premiership teams. West Ham can go aswell. And you could replace a few other teams to make up the other 5 or so Prem teams. Then you can make a custom legues easily. I have done this, but I added Rangers, Celtic, and Real Madrid to make up the numbers.
Oh and get rid of the fevernova! Get Nike balls. :P

It's practically full 360o control this time.

Freekicks only happen when the player touched first now.

You can edit this to your liking. ;)

You're correct. :P
