The man behind Pro Evolution Soccer, Shingo 'Seabass' Takatsuka, is so impressed by FIFA 09's game engine that he would "seriously" consider using it.

"I would think about it really seriously because I still believe that EA's engine and animation is really superb, very good," he told CVG. "The modelling of the charactersis perhaps not really to my taste actually, so I might not take thatpart, but seriously I think their engine and their motion style isreally great."

Takatsuka went on to praise PES fans who realise that Konami's Become a Legend game mode predates FIFA's Be a Pro mode. "That's one of my biggest regrets that we didn't get the Fantasista mode [from Japanese version Winning Eleven] into PES and introduced to Europe", he said. "However you do encourage me and it's good that people like yourselves know that our Fantasista mode was earlier than FIFA's Become a Legend."
