Konami Digital Entertainment today announced they signed Michael Owen to be the face for the UK version of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, the latest edition to the multi-million-selling Pro Evolution Soccer series, which will hit the store shelves in Autumn 2007, for PC, Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP and DS. Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 will feature a proprietary adaptive AI system entitled Teamvision, a sophisticated AI programming that learns and adapts according to an individual's style of play. The ball is again treated as a separate entity, with the timing of shots entirely down to the player, while the new AI ensures that defenders work to close down space and block efforts on goal. Similarly, distribution of passes works along the same lines, with players using the space available to them to switch the ball. Close control has also been enhanced with more control when dribbling the ball, and a number of subtle moves added to bypass defenders and move the ball into space.
