PES09 Version 1.20

From Pro Evolution Soccer - Wiki on Neoseeker

Version 1.20 or the November Update was an official free online update to PES 2009 which was provided by Konami.

To the delight of many PES fans, the update included four new Spanish licenses that saw Atletico Madrid, Racing Santander, Sevilla and Valladolid become fully licensed.

Champions League mode was also improved. The rosters and kits were updated while the licensed CL teams had their crests and badges updated too. Whilst the font for the scoreboards changed aswell as adding third kits for Liverpool and Manchester United.

Liverpool's Third Kit

When PES 2009 was first released, it received criticism that teams were not up-to-date. Fortunately, the update was used to provide us with the latest squads and formations. New players like Jack Wilshere, Jose Baxter, Rafael, Fabio and Kerlon were also added. However it did remove players such as Diego Polenta and Thomas Gravesen (who retired).

The update also provided us with the Theatre Of Legends which is available when playing Become a Legend online.

Criticism

However there are still some noticeable mistakes such as Andriy Voronin still being at Liverpool, despite playing for Hertha BSC at the time. Danny Alves is missing from the Zenit roster, Keith Andrews is missing from Blackburn, Walter Lopez is missing from West Ham even after the update and Ariel Ortega is still in the River Plate squad.
