    WTF is this sh1t that PC players are getting from Konami? Some PS2 memorial edition!?

    Graphics are downgraded from ps4 version, still the game looks nice, but it could look better. Faces of players are nice and all, but lightning, grass, detail of the pitch not so much.

    Shooting is not balanced at all, players are able to shoot like Adriano from the standing position,
    and shooting with power and excelent precision while being pooled or with a full contact.

    Piece of crap, not worth buying. Has nothing within from the old PES's properties its just PES 2014 remastered. It seems to me that after 2013 PES died.

    Its just unacceptable to release a pc game that has lesser graphics than the versions for the inferior console hardware. still bundesliga is missing what a shame.
    on the good side is steam mandatory and the soundtrack is pretty nice too

    No improvement. I give up on sport games.

    - The UI is still bad and animated/laggy so doing anything takes way longer than it should. - There's an insane amount of space on defense, you can keep the ball in their box way longer than you should. Fifa does the exact opposite, whereas once you get close to the box, it's just a massive clusterfck and you will get charged by 4 defenders.    No improvement. I give up on sport games.

    - Skill moves feel really bad and unresponsive. Also it's not Tekken, don't expect me to press RS up, down, left, left, RB, X+Y, B, B, A, LT while running diagonally.
    - There's so much more they can do outside of the game in single player modes (ML, BAL), but there's zero change every year.    … Expand

    KONAMI must be joking... PES 2015 looks like it came from 2005!! Bad and repeated gameplay, boring matches, many fake team names (a mod will fix that later), bad graphics, very slow menus... A 2015 game, really??? We were waiting for 2 months after FIFA 15 and we get this sh*t?? I'm so glad I didn't buy it... FIFA is so much better (I'm not a fanboy).

Not since Fifa 98 RTTWC have I had 3 matches abandoned for 5 red cards. No idea about AI, played local co-op. But I can only imagine it’s as woeful as there rest of the game. Nice tactical options, for shifting formations. The cut scenes look nice, and the players faces nicely modeled, shame about the rest of it.… Expand

    I was disappointed with FIFA 15 online plays where it was unrealistic and chaotic, so I tired PES 2015 even though I shunned away from it due to its lack of licence. Is it better than FIFA? Well I say it's different and not better. Both FIFA 15 and PES 15 can be played realistically if you play offline but online, most of the problems I had with FIFA surfaced again with PES 15 as well.I was disappointed with FIFA 15 online plays where it was unrealistic and chaotic, so I tired PES 2015 even though I shunned away from it due to its lack of licence.

    Although PES is more pass focused, it felt a little too pass focused. You should be able to keep the ball with ease in your own half but just like FIFA, online players are coming to take a leg off and you lose the ball too easily. Pace might be slower than FIFA but the frequency of interchanging of possession is too fast. So since I switched from FIFA hoping for more "realistic football" experience online, and all I got was a slower pace not so realistic experience, I give it 2/10 1 lower than FIFA because of lack of licence and worse graphics.

    Conclusion: If you've been playing FIFA, keep playing it, not worth switching over. If you've been playing PES, keep playing it, not worth switching over either.    … Expand

    I have to say that i am fairly disappointed and that now we for sure know why there was no PC Demo in the first place : Nobody would EVER buy it! The graphics are horrendous to say the least, the gameplay is certainly different than PS4 (played at friend's last night on his PS4) and i do understand licensing is an issue, but cmon, get something at least?

    Why do I, on R9 290x and and latest OCd i7 CPU have to play with graphics looking closer to Android than PC?

    PS4 has far far worse hardware than my PC, what is the problem then? I know it's easier to code it for platform like console but how a bout FIFA 15 then ? I don't see them seeing it as a problem, game looks even better on PC than it does on PS4.

    I mean cmon, not everyone has trash PC so you gotta "tone down the graphics", give us more graphic settings so everyone can enjoy the 2015 game like a 2015 game should be.

    If gameplay was so amazing i wouldn't even bother caring about graphics, but honestly the difference is not too noticable, better than FIFA, but not worth the trade-off.

    I am rating this game low because KONAMI sold it to me under false pretense, saying that " newFox engine delivers stunning graphics" (Steam description for PES2015) yet those "stunning" graphics are nowhere to be seen!?

    Oh yeah and did i mention that PES doesn't automatically detect primary graphics card (for those with integrated+PCIe cards, meaning 99% of pc players) so one has to change primary graphic card to PCIe in BIOS... I mean, what? Was it that hard to sort that one out just by looking how every other game, including those 10 years old, did it without messing with BIOS?

    Insane really.. Deeply disappointed.    … Expand

    This game also gets the dishonorable mention for having the worst referee I have ever seen in a football game. This referee was simply made to only give the player a hard time, and it's so unfair. Speaking of unfair, check out all the micro-transition BS that Konami gives online players.

    Konami has had a hard time with PES ever since PES 2008 was released. PES 2012 was a big step in the right direction, even though it had it's flaws. But with PES 2015, this is the last straw for me. EA has won the football war and I am done with this franchise. You killed the franchise with your own incompetence, Konami.    … Expand

    Well, it's my second written opinion of the game. It sucks. The most obnoxious part is the online connection. It sucks. And it's so f&^%ng scripted. And shoot controls, come on! 8 out of 10 perfectly place shoots hit the post! I face to face with the gk no LB pressed and shoots high? It sucks! 1+ seconds for the player to properly control the ball? Not good,just not good at all.

    Of all the PES I played trough out my life I certainly won't forget this one to be the worst, the graphics were a certain set backwards and It all felt like I was playing another football game I won't mention. I obviously came across this one because I always play every new PES.
    Overall probably the worst PES I've ever played.

    Still not as complex and technologically advanced as FIFA, but this is the best PES in years, the game fans were waiting for. Konami managed to resurrect the spirit of Pro Evo 6, but with modern visuals that are breathtaking at times. [13/2014, p.54]

    If you have a console, get Pro Evo 2015 on that. If you’re a PC-only football fan, this is a functional if lacklustre port of a great match engine with broken online support.
