Just over two months ago had Konami released their take on a full football title for the iPhone, to get in on the action just after the World Cup had started.  It accompanied EA, Gameloft and Exient to join the list of the football titles available for the iPhone.

It didn’t seem to impress many users – for the most part however, animations, content and the original ‘Pro Evolution Soccer’ feel applied to satisfy many gamers out there.   iPhone 3G owners and older generations suffered severe lagging at several points during the game, especially with a zoomed-out view.  Too much was going on to allow the game to run smoothly.  Konami have finally heard us, addressing this issue in the latest update.

Another addition the game brings the manual player switch – finally.  Throughout any football game, manually switching players gives you total control of the game.  Konami have decided that in order to do this, you can simply tap an empty area on-screen.

As well as these two important improvements, here’s what else has been updated:

- Manual switch of defending player (button mode only): Press an empty part of the screen when you don’t have the ball to switch players.
- Kick feint: Prepare a shot and once you see the power gauge, press B quickly (or anywhere on the screen on Touch controls)
- Improvement of ball control reactivity (less latency when a player controls the ball)
- Improvement of headers
- Improvement of performance on iPhone 3G
- Yellow and red cards management in competitions
- Display scorers’ names on Pause/Half-time menu
- Improvement of the simulation of the other match results in a competition
- Improvement of the camera angle in Offside replay
- Improvement of the team random selection in Quick match and Exhibition
- Fix of miscellaneous minor bugs
