    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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    (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)

Me importa muy poco, poquísimo, problema suyo, sabrán ellos qué tipo de información colocan en el juego. Entiendo perfectamente lo de no tener entrada de equipos en PS3 y Xbox 360 ¿se buggea por los pocos FPS? Bien, ahora... ¿Qué explicación me das para PC?, No hay ninguna coherente, simplemente es un copy-paste vitaminado de PS3-Xbox 360, en todo sentido. La jugabilidad está muy bien, los porteros se deben mejorar al igual que los impactos entre jugadores, además del sistema de defensa, el "cuerpo-cuerpo" realmente es muy malo. Hay una muy buena base para comenzar a construir hacia arriba, está clara la mejora respecto a PES 2014 pero también está claro que Konami debe pensar mas en grande y trabajar las cosas con cabeza en pos de ello y no tomando decisiones equívocas con una plataforma específica. en PS4-Xbox One este juego es para un 8.5, en PC lo puntúo con un 7 (diría 6.5), ¿Que espero del juego el siguiente año? Que lleven la franquicia en PC a la Next-Gen, ¿como puede ser que tenga tantas carencias en pro de que lo pueda correr una PC del ¡2006! Los requisitos mínimos son una burla muy buena, pero eso afecta claramente el resultado gráfico y de nivel de completado del juego haciendo que se pierdan cosas muy esenciales.

    PES 2016 - PC:
    - Pasar al Next-Gen
    - Mejoras de porteros, llevo 20 horas de juego y aún no vi que ni mi portero ni el del rival saque un tiro esquinado, potente o no. Los balones le pasan también por al lado y siempre el portero hace la misma animación mediocre que te hace dar una muy buena enojada, está claro hay que mejorarlos.
    - Mejorar el motor de choques y caídas, los jugadores caen encima del balón, se traba el jugador que cayó con el que va a recuperar el balón, etc.
    - Mejorar las físicas de las porterías.
    - Mejorar la "ley de la ventaja" dura muy poco y aveces sin criterio, además del arbitraje en general.
    - Que al dar un pase hacia adelante y (por ejemplo) arrepentirse de la dirección del pase (por ejemplo darlo hacia la derecha) antes de que éste sea tocado por el jugador que ¡por dios! el pase vaya hacia la derecha, no hacia delante. Es decir, si yo ya apreté la X y hacia adelante pero mi jugador aún no recibió el balón y cambie hacia la derecha ¿por qué lo da hacia delante?, eso hace perder muchos balones, desperdiciar situaciones, generar contragolpes, y mas problemas.
    - Mejorar el Online, se tarda 8 años y medio para conectar con los servidores vía Steam, otros 8 para ingresar al myClub y otros 8 para encontrar rival, se pierde muchísimo tiempo, (cartel de por medio que dice que no hay actualización de plantillas, ¡que ya lo sé, no me lo pongas mas!, con 1 me basta).

    En general es un gran juego, grandísimo juego, lo recomiendo, claro... de los mejores PES en años, aunque tiene sus pequeños fallos, en jugabilidad igual a PS4-One por lo que si no te influye el tema "gráfico" no tendrás queja.

    Repito, el juego es para un 8.5 pero en PC un 7 basicamente por las decisiones tomadas respecto a ésta plataforma.

    PES 2015 is a massive improvement on what was a series on the verge of collapse in recent years. This season's outing is the best since the glory days of PES 6 but is still far from the standard the series once held all those years ago.

    In gameplay terms; PES this year feel much better. Players seem less robotic and matches flow very well. The physics are still ropey at times but everything feels tidier and more satisfying to play. No match ever feels the same which is something FIFA has struggled with for years in terms of scripted gameplay. Konami have certainly worked hard to reach this stage in recent years and finally their efforts have paid off.

    Sadly; other aspects of the game have been neglected which really drags the quality of the product down. Visually; PES looks decent and the players are far more impressive graphically than FIFA however, the general presentation is ghastly and has not been overhauled. It still feels like a game stuck in the PS2 days with hideous menus and general piss-poor layouts. The audio is largely unbearable and is recycled from previous games plus the replays are painfully poor in giving a good TV representation.

    The most unforgiving factor for me is the lack of stadiums. They are EXACTLY the same as seen in previous versions. There is 19 in total including Konami passing off the San Siro as two different grounds. There is no new ones and the existing batch is just another copy and paste job from past iterations. The only real improvements is on the pitch in gameplay terms and that is about it. It's good but not quite the wholesale changes that this brand needs to catch up with FIFA.

    Overall; PES 2015 on PC is a much improved game and one Konami can be proud of for the first time in a generation. Sadly it is letdown by a dreadful lack of presentation enhancements and despite the more fluid and controlled gameplay; this game just feels dated. The lack of a major licence is still an issue but if you're sick and tired of FIFA and want to take a punt on this; it may be worth a look if you haven't played PES for years. I wouldn't expect too much though. If anything; reinstall PES 6; get the 2015 mod and enjoy the most memorable sports game ever created. This one is a sterling effort that still leaves Konami much work to do in the future.

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.

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.

    It's just bad, really bad - ok I think we can agree that PES 14 got it wrong on so many levels but at least there is an argument to suggest that there was something new, something to build on. Sadly however, PES 15 is just a big leap back.

    After playing for 20 mins this is a quick review:

    The animations are wooden and completely unrealistic, players have to actually micro-stop before turning, it is awful to look at.

    The passing, supposedly revamped? Through lob goes straight up in the air like a balloon (every time - it has no low arc), the low passes are either straight to the player to just in front, doesn't matter which pass you execute, through-ball or normal they both do the same thing. The shooting, has no weight to it (a homage to the days of Playstation PES?), and the actual player responsiveness is shocking, change cursor (like PES versions 6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 and 14), when playing defensively, seems to do nothing until the last third.

    Seriously? Take back the pitch?

    This is a joke - add to that the team kits and names are all wrong and we have another farce on our hands.

    I look around at the reviews and I only see positive - come round to my house and play this game and you'll will see something completely different from what is being written.

    I have been playing PES since Deluxe, and can firmly state the wheels have come off.

    5.5/10

    A genuine opportunity to put things right, instead it feels like something put together as part of a school project.

    PES 2015 on PS4 is a solid game, however far not perfect with its lack of modes and their depth, but it is a step into the right direction. PES 2015 on PC is another case.
    The PC release is only a stripped off version of the next-gen version. There is no cinematic or prematch intro and lot of other features are missing or simplified. Basically, the game uses a tuned version of last year's

    The PC release is only a stripped off version of the next-gen version. There is no cinematic or prematch intro and lot of other features are missing or simplified. Basically, the game uses a tuned version of last year's engine, which makes this version obviously inferior to the ng consoles'. All in all, the whole thing feels different, I had problems with the AI and overall gameplay too. It just feels supbar to what I experience with the newer engine. In its current condition the game just makes me feel bad, that I yet again left with a bad experience overall. Maybe next year...

    Also, the critics scores shown on metacritic are not everytime for PC. PC version is obviously below a good 75 IMO.

    PES 2015 = FIFA + COPY + PASTE !!!!!

    In My Opinion This Game Is Better Than Last Year's Game But .... Nope PES 2013 Is Still The Best.... This Can Go Nowhere near The PES 2013 Gameplay Fluidity And Responsiveness... There Is Still Traces Of Konami's Obsession To Turn PES Into FIFA !!! Both in The Gameplay And Graphics Design Especially The Top Menu And Ui. The Reason Why PES

    In My Opinion This Game Is Better Than Last Year's Game But .... Nope PES 2013 Is Still The Best....

    This Can Go Nowhere near The PES 2013 Gameplay Fluidity And Responsiveness... There Is Still Traces Of Konami's Obsession To Turn PES Into FIFA !!! Both in The Gameplay And Graphics Design Especially The Top Menu And Ui.

    The Reason Why PES Players Really Play PES Is That FIFA And Whatever It Stands For Even With All The Hype Around it Is Really RUBBISH !!! It's Not Realistic, You Can Watch A Football Game And Even Play One Yourself, And You Can See That It's Not Really That Hard To Play And Handle A Game That It Is In FIFA Series ! And Konami's Decision To Make This Game Closer To FiFA Actually Means Closing This Franchise To Its Demise !!!

    Last Year's PES 2014 Was A Perfect Example Of it.... The Gameplay Was An Absolute Imitation Of FIFA 14.... A horrendous Nightmare Of Inability To Handle & Play And Gathering Your Thoughts For Planning And Executing Tactics And Skills..... And You Already Saw How It Ended Up For Konami !

    That's What I'm Saying In This Game The Grand Scheme Is The Same .... Copying FIFA ! But The Gameplay Has Been Slightly Improved To Make It Feel Like PES 2013 So You Wouldn't Run Away From It Screaming In The First Minute Of The Game ! But When Things Get A Little Bit Professional And Deep You Can Still Feel The Incompetence And Inability Of PES 2014 Still Present In This Game.

    I Give It 5/10 And IT'S NO WAY A TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO THE TOP FOR THE FOOTBALLING'S FAVOURITE SON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    -License problems
    -Really long response time for you to control the ball.
    -Dumb referee decisions.(fouls,cards only)
    -Stupid defensive bugs.
    -Field with no realistic grass.

    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.

    It’s a disgrace. The soundtrack is the best part, which sums up this barbaric attempt at simulating football. I have seen my GK head the ball in his own box from a chipped through ball with no one challenging him. The tackle system is abysmal, the only pressure option, no control over tugging, sticking a foot out. The slide tackle system slides for the players feet not the ball, you can’tIt’s a disgrace.

The tackle system is abysmal, the only pressure option, no control over tugging, sticking a foot out. The slide tackle system slides for the players feet not the ball, you can’t slide to cover space and stop a pass, you let the pass go by and you take the players feet out. 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

    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

    The commands do not respond very well, but better than 2014,

    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,

    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.

    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.

    - 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.

    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 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.
