it was a lob, but while it appeared to the untrained eye that i completely underhit it, which i even played along with shouting "i've fucked it!" when i did it...the reality was a dainty spinner that twirled around the keeper and fooled everyone!
at least that's my story, and like Bergkamp's turn against us, we'll pretend it was meant!
KONAMI is proud to announce that a new football experience is on its way!
To prepare for its launch, we'll be running an open beta prior to the game's official launch, as described below.
The purpose of this beta test is to evaluate the quality of the online matchmaking and connection to the servers.
Please note that gameplay mechanics, balancing, animations and graphics are all under development and will be improved before the official launch.
With all that out of the way, we would like to invite you to participate in this open beta, and we would greatly appreciate it if you could share with us your thoughts and feedback on your experience.

interesting. there are controls on the site too:https://www.konami.com/wepes/obt/en/ps5/manual
most notable is the switch to Right Trigger for sprinting like FIFA. and a knock on move by fully pressing and releasing said trigger.
Left trigger for physical defending.
Ok so I've been outta the game for so long, last footy game I played was yeeeeaaaarrrss ago, maybe one of the PESes on PS4 (remember having some lagfest matches with Sparky).
Euros has got me hyped and if my Boy gets into playing footy games too... wondering what the best is nowadays? FIFA? Not too fussed about lots of major singleplayer content, just which one handles/plays better on the field.
They've switched engines (Unreal). Apparently, the demo's a bit ropey, but Konami have stated this is just a netcode test. There was no official announcement for the demo.
I'd want it to be a big improvement on 2021 to move on.
But 2021 is an excellent videogame (online modes be damned), and it took a lot to convince me to get that as it was (it's was only £25).
