    long darkness of PES 14

    Finally, I Uninstall PES 14 from my pc and install pes 15.

    let's see.....what PES 15 give me this time....
    (1) A game play with decent balance (plz don't think u beat my KOMPANY easily).
    (2) Depth in players face.
    (3) Lots of real player in pes 15 (thanks for zabaleta and marcelo real face).
    (4) Numbers of national team in CAF, AFC, CONCACAF.
    (5) Second division (finally my wigan and leeds back in pes).
    (6) Create a manager. (that's i really like)
    (7) Real commentary name for epl and bundesliga. (in edit mode)
    (8) Finally give some respectful menu (not better than fifa but acceptable).
    (9) Stadium editor (less than I Expected, i just change colors of seats, sideline and turf pattern).
    (10) warsaw stadium, poland (but No wembley wow...., and what's the difference between san siro and giuseppe meazza.)

    what PES 15 not give me...
    (1) My biggest issue is konami cut stadium entrance presentation, substitute and throw ball cut scene from pc and ps3 version. (why konami why...)
    (2) Konami do you have any problem with dortmund.
    (3) Commentary is harmful for my ear.
    (4) No complaint for licence stadium but give some fake or any small stadium for second divison and small club. (i don't want to play second division in big stadium like san siro and allianz arena)    … Expand

    The movement player look more fluid,and the graphic is not same like PS4,but still better than PES 2014.Overall it's still good to play.The master league look a little boring.and you can buy any player(if you have enough money).One thing i hate is the commentators,why Konami don't replace them with the new one???

    First off I need to clarify a few things. Firstly, I don't really care about the lacking licenses. Although, admittedly,I have downloaded a patch that at least sets the right emblems for each club and the kits have more or less the correct colours. Secondly, I don't particularly enjoy the online aspect of any trivial games. If I want an online game, I play a proper one and not some sillyFirst off I need to clarify a few things. Firstly, I don't really care about the lacking licenses. Although, admittedly,I have downloaded a patch that at least sets the right emblems for each club and the kits have more or less the correct colours. Secondly, I don't particularly enjoy the online aspect of any trivial games. If I want an online game, I play a proper one and not some silly mode on a single player game. This includes PES, FIFA and other similar games, in fact. I don't want it because the people who play these modes destroy them regardless of good or bad they were implemented in the first place. If you have a realistic point of view on the human race, you'll expect just about nothing from these modes.

    So, in short, I base my review on this game solely on the single player value and primarily the Become a Legend game mode.

    The Become a Legend mode is probably the pinnacle of single player modes in terms of football games. It's as close as you get to a footy simulation since you're only controlling a single player and have a role in the team, just as in a real life situation.

    The AI gameplay seems much improved compared to earlier iterations and it actually becomes interesting to play other positions than CM-AMC, which, in all honesty, were the only viable options up until now. In PES2015 I've enjoyed Right Back, Defensive Midfield, Left Midfield and Striker and they all give vastly different experiences provided that you are trying to take your role and position seriously. This want not really the case in previous iterations. The AI builds up play differently based on team instructions, which is a vast improvement of earlier iterations. This means there are at least some diversity in how teams feels to play with and against.

    The added leagues and divisions make the immersion of the game mode vastly improved. Now you can start out in a second division and expect regular match time as opposed to being squad filler in a premier club. There are ups and downs with both choices, however, because if you start out as squad filler it means your player gets time to evolve without having to play a lot of matches. Meaning you essentially start out your career at a later stage and with a better player, you just need to click next in order to progress. I've done both, and I enjoy both on different occasions.

    As far as I can tell there aren't any "typical AI goals" anymore, which I consider an improvement. Gameplay is diverse and aren't really hampered by any more stupidity than, for example, FIFA and Football Manager in terms of AI smartness. There have been a few really weird situations, but any seasoned computer sports gamer know that those are more or less unavoidable.

    On a more individual level, the game seems to offer a lot more viable paths as a player. You don't particularly need a top tier sprinter in order to be an effective striker, although the quicker you are the less intelligence is needed to succeed, generally. One of my players are fairly quick, and I enjoy parking the defense on runs into space and go 1 on 1 with the keeper. I also enjoy my substantially slower goal poacher who prefers good positions and less time on the ball. I look forward to try spending time at better clubs who plays more possession based football as well. Long ball and counter attacking is fun, though, and I expect the different team styles will bring lots of enjoyable matches in the future.

    Well done, Konami.

    Good gameplay.
    Disrespect for PC gamers.
    Very bad commentary as usual.
    FIFA will be very strong next year to compete with PES though.
    With patches, this would be a very good soccer game for this year.

    One of the best PES in several years (I think I actually played almost every version). 2014 was clearly a work in progress, with an emphasis on players performing feints that felt awkwardly constructed. 2015 fixes that with a more balanced game construction, and with a more realistic game dynamic in general.

Albeit there is a lack of official licenses, there are tons of option files to fix that (no need for a user patch). AI will offer a tough challenge, especially at the hardest level of difficulty. One minor bug I noticed is that the CPU keeper positions himself in the middle of the goal, behind the wall, making it too easy to score from a central positioned free kick. Absolutely to get if you are into soccer.… Expand

    The PC version of PES 2015 for me is very positive. The graphics are not to the level of ps4, it is true, but the gameplay is virtually identical. This involves a natural consequence: fun and dynamic as in versions next-gen. These days, for criticism, it seems that the graphics are the only factor that matters and this is not good.

    Gameplay flows and movements of very pleasant way, allowing excelenet gaming experience.
    Parabenizo a equipe da Konami pelo excelente trabalho feito no Pro Evolution Soccer 2015, ainda assim há algumas questões a serem pautadas, como o modo online, que poderia ser aperfeiçoado.

    Exceeded my expectations!

    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]

Goalkeepers are great. Edit mode is a beast. These were some good things about it. The bad things are: Online: Has input lag tough to find an opponent, although there are players and there are frequent connection errors. Graphics: As a pc gamer with a high end pc I feel disrespected with such atrocious graphics (worse than 14). Referee decisions and collisions: I think KONAMI staff were a little confused when coding both of these. Lack of offline modes and pretty shallow Master League: I found PES 2010 ML better than this one. All in all I think gameplay overshadows all the other issues that it has that's why I'm giving it 10/10. It has PLENTY room for improvment. I'm expecting A LOT from PES 2016.… Expand

    PES2014 I felt was a big let-down. PES2015 is a definite improvement. The gameplay is nice and fluid, and, although there are still some awkward animations, it makes for an excellent game of footie.

    It plays exactly the same at the PS4 version, only the graphics are not as hi-res. However, they are perfectly fine for a football game.

    It's all about the gameplays peeps, and in this department PES utterly destroys FIFA. Presentation has been improved and overall Konami seem to be going in the right direction. Plenty of room for improvement - nevertheless a solid basis to evolve and, most important, a lot of fun to play when you get the hang.    … Expand

    This game disappointed me in 2 major aspects, hence my giving it a -2 from a complete score. The AI could've been better, and the game looks too cartoonish (reminds me a lot of FIFA 14). Bland commentary, and way too many unlicensed teams - but we're pretty much used to that side of Pro Evolution by now.
    All in all, this is the one soccer game I've really (completely) enjoyed playing all year.

    If FIFA 15 seemed too fast and felt wrong for no apparent reason, it’s likely that PES 2015 is your game. [Jan 2015, p.74]

    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.
