Yeh theres been criticisms on the recent PES's robotic movement and I agree to some extent. It doesnt bother me toooo much but it does prohibit that free flowing dribbling that I once loved in the older versions. GK still makes amateurish mistakes and this is something theyve failed to fix since......like ever.
Konami grew complacent as you said especially before the switch to the PS3, but theyr getting back on form now and PES2010 is great.
