To respond to that last comment, the slowdown of the game in general is kind of a drag but the game is playable and alot of fun. The only time I really find the slow down straight up annoying is while controlling the ball midfield when there's more players on screen, pushing the ball up field can be difficult and frustrating. I played PES2010 and I had a great experience with it, no gameplay issues, but it lacked teams and game modes making the game feel empty and somewhat bleak. Hope this helps.
