Just got this in the post this morning from Play-Asia.
Only been dabbling with it for about an hour now, but I thought I'd give some initial perspective and hope others will contribute.
The first thing you're faced with is the Language select screen, which you can't help but feel relieved at (until you realise that they have the ****ty PES3 commentary to go with the english menu's) The player names are still in japanese however. New music has been added to the game for the replays, menu's and highlights etc. You can import edit data from WE7.
I noticed some new players, but I didn't notice any new teams. I've only actually played a couple of friendlies and my thoughts on the actual gameplay are that they've made it a bit harder to attack down the flanks, perhaps some will see this as addressing the balance of the game. I always felt it was quite easy to get goals this way, now it requires a bit more skill. It's not insanely difficult or anything, just sometimes it's easier to pass the ball inside, rather than blaze down the wing. Timing headers is another change I've noticed, my old corner kick routine has needed to be adjusted slightly, which is how I know this
Notably less Handball decisions by the referee, this is a huge improvement IMO, handball's almost ruined the last incarnation so it's good to see Konami have at least addressed this in some form. Referees in general seem a bit more lenient, less inclined to dish out straight red cards etc. I went through the back of a couple of players in one game and didn't even get booked.
More later perhaps, if there is more to be discovered. So far it does seem generally more of the same.
