PES 2010 online simply not good enough

Apologies for turning this into the PES blog but it's been a hugely frustrating evening. I've been trying to get a decent online match on Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 but to no avail. Lag, delays, unresponsive menus - it's been a disaster. Performance issues aside there are still the problems with poorly thought out menus - for example how do you easily set up a 2v2 with a friend and not have to wait hours for someone to join? - and illegible icons. Yes, I should have known that the great performance on the test servers would not be replicated once the game had launched but I felt that Konami had to get this one right. How wrong I was.

I've thoroughly enjoyed playing PES 2010 offline but online is key for me. If it isn't fixed or doesn't improve very soon it looks like FIFA has another convert..

Anyone else played PES online yet? Is it just me having a nightmare?
