    The interface is wonderful. You have so much information immediately available to you. Google Maps always has a minimap in the lower left corner, which gives you a good overview of the area. Getting information about people gives you a clear, clear window. Hacking offers a menu with easily recognizable icons, so you always know what your button presses will do.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Gameplay - This year Pes 2015 brought back the old feel of movement, passing, dribbling.. Still the game doesn't feel balanced, and feels clunky at times. The commands do not respond very well, but

    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.
    Shooting in general has failed pes in the last few years,

    I don't want to waste time, and i want to express my main concern about this game. ARE YOU like me, playing pes and fifa since the snes era? Have you, like me, spent a huge amount of money grabbing this or that game year after year? I stopped buying these games by 2010. I've played those games at my friends home, but whitout really much caring. I felt sort of relieved. By the time iI don't want to waste time, and i want to express my main concern about this game. ARE YOU like me, playing pes and fifa since the snes era? Have you, like me, spent a huge amount of money grabbing this or that game year after year? I stopped buying these games by 2010. I've played those games at my friends home, but whitout really much caring. I felt sort of relieved. By the time i stopped buying PES and FIFA releases, i realized these companies stopped making ANY real progress with the gameplay every new year. I realized these game where basically the same as the year before, with minor graphical improvements, major interface renewal (most of which in the worse), and minor random tweaks to the gameplay itself.

    I grabbed this game, and the first impression is this: I'm playing pes 4 with some improvements, but definitely not enough for 10 FREAKING YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT AND MONEY GRABBING.
    This game is the sequel to PES 4. It is fun to play with your friends, but the rest is complete garbage. Everything you loved in previous pes edition is there, but with basically NO enhancement. The physics is better, i concede that.

    The gameplay is addictng. But is addicting like tobacco is: you know that you are hurting yourself, but the instant you score a goal, you kind of feel relieved of the stress you cumulate through the rest of the gameplay.

    So if you want reasons for what i'm stating, i'll go deep on describing the gameplay.

    This game is made to be played player vs player. that's it. If you need this for this and solely this reason, buy it! is a good game. But pes 6 is better. So you should probably get a copy of pes 6 instead, or last year fifa. Because trust me, except the up-tp-date teams (and not even all of em, since they didn't get the rights to use all of em for this year... so we are back to Mersey side Red and company, no german championship and so on...) the gameplay is the same, yhear after year. This is what we expected after pes 4, but is 10 YEARS LATER. Grab pes 6, is more enjoyable.

    You want to play this game vs the AI? don't buy this game. Do yourself a favor, and keep your money in your bucket. The matches against AI are as KONAMI standard since the first PES on play station: the AI plays dumb so that you have your chanches to score, then suddenly buffs the stats of the adversary team for a determine amount of time. higer difficulty level means only this: buffs on adversary stats. This is a proven strategy for videogames company, since most of the players don't know or can't imagine how this is basically a scam. but if you see this, there's no way you could not feel cheated. 10 years of money and development, should have meant improvements over the AI. should have meant that the AI would not need to BEND the rules to achieve results. But that would have been meaning WORK! Something they want to avoid, i think. The time in which the ai EMULATES what a person can do given certain rules, won't probably ever come. People is keeping on throwing money at these companies, only to get the latest rosters, and not understanding they are being ripped off... and so these companies are selling THE SAME **** GAME AGAIN AND AGAIN.

    All the modalities like my player, master league and so on, are **** Seriously, there have been tons of edition of pes with better and more understandable interfaces.

    Tactics are nice, but have been implemented wrongly. The way you switch players is counter-intuitive, and gone is the feature to make fast switches. Playerr development? is there, but unles you write down the numbers for your players, you can't keep track of what your players are developing. So you decide this player is going to train on speed, but you don't know how much effective this training is, and unless you write down THE COMPLETE LIST OF STATS AND SKILLS OF HIM, you won't know what's going on about his developement.

    Is this an enjoyable game after all? of course it is, as it where older PES games. But shall you buy a game which is a rippoff of a 10 years old game? of course not.

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

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

Passes feel unsatisfying, gaining control over the ball is a nightmare (The worst of all if you are using the keyboard) and the game completely lacks the fast and clean gameplay from PES 6. Just trying to get the ball and running around with it feels stiff and clunky!

    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.

    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.

    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.
