Here is some of the new features and key additions you can expect in the new version of PES 2009.

Gameplay:
Close control more intuitive:

Manual cursor control
Adjusted trick control for easier control more within natural control parameters than via special movements

Ball movement more realistic:
Ball has always been treated as separate entity, but 2009 has new air resistance calculations for trajectory of ball
Instant control. Buttons presses are no longer stored, making for a crisper playing style
Heavier foot-in tackles, depending on the length X is depressed
New friction routines to affect ball movement in terms of ground conditions
Backspin routines calculated so ball slows accordingly
The bounce of the ball can be used more effectively: players can flick the ball up to tee a shot, or to lift it over a defender?s trailing leg
Skills are now integrated more into the game. If a player has the ability, they will be able to perform deft turns others cannot and will be able to feint and shimmy within the confines of the control system
Player has to compensate for heaviness of ground when weighting passes in wet conditions or frozen ground

Teamvision enhanced:
Tactics change according to situation
Better off-the-ball movement running to receive passes, etc
AI recognizes strategies that work and accumulates data on an ongoing basis within Master League and League modes.

Stadiums:
Graphic depiction of weather conditions unique to each stadium
Much more detailed lighting effects that mimic the time of day more closely
Key new grounds like Wembley, in total about 20 stadiums
LED hoardings (PS3 and 360 versions only)

Players:
All new players models in game: everything reworked for additional detail
Specific new animations to make the game flow more: players now stumble, place a hand down so as to keep running
More individuality to movement of players: running and kicking styles, for instance: Ronaldo?s stance before a free kick

Camera:
New vertical camera, allowing end-to-end view including ?Player Focus? zoom, panning in on key one-on-one situations
New distance drawing techniques using adjusted chromatic fields

Front End - Menus:

All new, clearer menu system
Match stats now on sub-menus if required
Much improved music choice

Edit:

In addition to the importation of graphic data, music and crowd chants can also be added
Graphics:
Pixel Paint function allows users to create team badges from scratch
