    New PES is worse then last year's. No weather conditions, horrible player faces, they lost more licenses for stadiums and clubs... PES 2014 fails at all levels on current gen consoles, but I'm still eager too see how it will look on next-gen consoles.

    Speaking from an experience of 15 years This is officially the worst football game of all time....Its an experiment gone all wrong. The AI is ridiculously flawed.--The players response to anything is terribly slow...positioning is terrible. As for the engine though the visuals are pretty everything else is just rubbish..Every shot you take essentially ends up going in one direction...GoalSpeaking from an experience of 15 years This is officially the worst football game of all time....Its an experiment gone all wrong.

    Been playing pro Evo since they added pro Evo to the ISS name and this is the worst ever!!! You can't run passing is shocking and the options are straight from an 8 bit game. Still playing pro Evo 12 cause the last ones game engine was rubbish to the extreme. Don't touch the new FIFA either. Nothing has ever changed with the feel of it. Pro Evo 5 is still the greatest footy game ever made!!!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 4 / 10

    I owned Pes 2011, which i bought for 29.99 after waiting for the price to come down, I waited to buy pes 2014 until it dropped to 29.99 as well. I have played Fifa since world cup 06 for 360. I bought and sold Fifa 14 for PS4 which was the straw that broke the soccer fan's back. I generally enjoyed fifa in the past, despite it having real shortcomings from a footballing standpoint. I decided that it was going to be PES 2015 for PS4 or nothing, and picked up this sorry excuse of a game to get me up to speed.

    I really wanted to like this game, and give it a real chance, and frankly I am disgusted and I feel like i have been ripped off. It's bizarre since Konami has gotten a lot of flack over Lords of Shadow 2 and Ground Zeroes, the former people saying it's a junk game and the latter a rippoff demo. The truth is, I wish I bought Ground Zeroes instead of PES 2014, at least that Paid Demo runs properly and has good gameplay.

    Presentation, while slightly better than 2011, the framerate is terrible, and frankly whoever decided to put the match presentation in and the cutplay / replays should hand in their resignation as it's embarrassing. It runs at sub 10 frames, it is hard to watch I feel like i'm going to have a seizure. I don't understand why the replays are so hard to skip, it's bad enough people on fifa make your watch their offsides, this game punishes me for playing single player.

    There is really poor licencing. How can you claim to have the champion's league licence etc when you don't even have all the teams participating licenced?

    Netherlands does not have proper players etc? WTF????

    I scrounged an edit file pack online and figured out the arcane process of using it, it is still embarrassing.

    I appreciate all of the updates that they tried to do, And the fair price for the "world challenge" update of only 10 dollars. I wish I could support them on that, but with the game itself being so abysmal there is no way, I have to cut my losses and call it a rental fee, plus whatever I can recoup from trade in which will likely be horrendous.

    Your players don't even jump when they are in the box on defensive duty, meanwhile you can win headers in midfield with 5'5 players, what they hell. there innovations for passing and shooting in this new game are horrible.

    It is just frustrating because some things this game does better than fifa, and others it does way worse. On the whole the gameplay itself is just bad.

    The tactics menus are aweful, having it decide irrational things for me between matches is insane. Yeah it makes perfect sense to play Vidic at RB, thanks PES. and you have to keep moving your guys around so that it recognizes where they are playing and what the rating is, then it switches it. If you need to change tactics, they game refuses to register your changes. It shows 3 slots for your tactics and you try and select one and it does nothing. It's just unnacceptable and doesn't seem to have imporved in the slightest from 2011.

    I could forgive the licenses, and the poor menus and polish, and the uneven graphics and framerate, and the lack of a good career mode that follows a specific league. The lack of stadiums etc etc.

    What is unforgivable is how poor this game is where it is supposed to have the edge on fifa, the gameplay.

    Avoid it.

    my advice to everyone that is disapointed in fifa and pes, just watch the games on tv and go and play the real sport. these games are a farce and do not capture the essence or spirit of the sport at all.

    It's sad because i like to play it in conjunction with watching the season, and despite having my team licenced (manchester united) it is pathetic and unsatisfying, it doesn't help that the ratings for most United players are ridiculously high. The only ones that should have a high rating are RVP Rooney and DeGea, the rest do not deserve their scores in the slightest, and thats after the latest updates. hahah Young with a 87 are you high? Nani with a 90 guy can't make the bench on a 7th in the league season, baffling.

    And Ronaldo is a 100, can't remeber the last time i saw that horse s h i t in a game. He and messi should be in the 95 range. but instead RVP is a 95 (yeah right more like a 90 pes wise) and they jacked themselves into a corner.

    It's just an unsatisfying substandard experience and as much as I want to support them ( I bought new despite not caring for online ) I feel like they should just pack it up.

    As for Fifa 15, it will be nothing but an Ultimate Team garbage fest, with no gameplay improvements and terrible homogenous gameplay with scripting. They will talk it up big, and ignore their customers after launch as usual. I will not support EA again when it comes to anything football related as they are shills.

    my two favorite(hockey, soccer) team sports and EA has a darth vader vicegrip on the licensing. *sigh* I wanted you to be good pes, but sadly you are not. RIP my videogame soccer obsession.    … Expand

Players do not react quick enough, they turn like tanks animations take far to long to complete when tackling etc allow to Ai to exploit you. Unresponsive commands, it takes far too long for players to do what you want them to do after having pressed a button

The passing is just complete shambles, there is no consistentcy at all, press the button lightly to a nearby team mate and you may get a small cushioned pass straight into his path, great, 2 ins later same position you press the button in the same manner and the pass is overhit by a mile (and I’m talking with assisted passing turned down). Everytime you take a shot there is a delay. The snappy element is gone in favour of basically just struggling to maintain control of your players. The fluidity is gone. The AI stinks. The controls are sluggish and ropey (ohh sorry thats the realism ehh?). Players often do silly things i.e. you try to pas one way and they migh stop, turn and then do a trick/flick/touch (more realism ehh?) awful.

    I dont know about FIFA since I havent played it, but PES 2014 is a complete let-down, some elements of the old series def needed changing and I can see where they are going but they have rubbed over so much that the core element is gone too much too soon.

    Wow. I have been a PES fan for as long as I remember, back to the ISS days on SNES.

    Konami has made mistakes on many of its games, and few are completely perfect. But there was always the magic there. A new game was always a joy to play, even in Free Practice mode. So the dissapointment could not be greater. Especially after all the promises, the new engine, the heart feature, etc.    Wow.

    So the dissapointment could not be greater. Especially after all the promises, the new engine, the heart feature, etc. Really Konami?

    The magis is gone. PES has gone the FIFA route, but is years behind their formula. Sure the animations are better than ever, but it means the game is sluggish, waiting for the animation to run before a change in direction, shot, pass, etc. Very different to the crisp, immediate response of the ISS and PES games of the past. So, so far, from the great games like PES6.

    The new engine novelty wears off very quickly, as it is a prettier game but by no means jaw dropping. Only a slight improvement. And football games are about gameplay, who cares about facial hair and more accurate lighting, when shooting feels unreal and manouvering in the penalty box is so sluggish.

    Man covering is terrible. I cannot get my team to pressure or hold the formation I desire.
    Konami have tried to make defending possible by implementing some ridiculous turbo gimmick. Your player slowly accelerates and then decelerates. Very very unrealistic. There is no player explosion, you have to wait for the players to slowly accelerate. Also running a 20m sprint is now impossible, as your player will decelerate and be caught by any defender like Vidic, etc.
    It is a complete gimick and unlike real football.

    In the end, this game is like a blow to the stomach. We knew Konami had problems with PES and going back to a new engine, with all their promises, would bring back the glory days.

    Now, PES is even further away from the original formula. Looking withouth personality. It is a bland FIFA experience, sluggish, gimicky, licenseless.

    PES 2013 is a much, much, better game.    … Expand

First of all, it is a thoroughly decent game at it's core, if you a play with a short passing game, you probably won't find a more satisfying game on current gen consoles, the shooting (not the system) can also be very satisfying, though the ball does have a very floaty feel to it, and the tackling (yet again, not the system) can leave you with a sinister sense of accomplishment as you two foot a player with his body flying through the air over you, but there's just too much wrong with it for my liking.

    The menu's look outdated and boring, with a mouse cursor being used as a selector for plain boxes with some also plain text, on the Champions League menu, is somehow makes that boring as well, with it being given the sexiest stylized visuals in football, but painting over the top of them with boring boxes and a single static image. Nit picking it may be, but is it so hard to give it a nice presentation? Not to mention they can be laggy as hell.

    The gameplay... While the previously mentioned features help it along, by god it has it's problems, the FPS lag is just plain unacceptable, especially in certain cutscenes it can be absolutely dreadful. The goalkeepers have a handful of animations for them, they constantly stand out of position, react late to shots and when they do they look unnatural in the way they do save the ball. When on the ball, the player under control can feel unresponsive, leading to running into players, being tackled or just kicking the ball out of play. A lot of systems are over-fanciful and finicky e.g. shooting, defending/tackling, skill moves etc. though as said, when they are pulled off they can be quite satisfying. The graphics in cutscenes are impressive, though as said this is counteracted by low FPS, the gameplay graphics, less so impressive, but not bad by any means.

    Where game modes are concerned, there aren't many, and those there are lack depth. Become a Legend, while having a few nice features, is not on the level of previous years, with it feeling very much like FIFA's Be a Pro career, with the latter probably edging it due to a vast amount of leagues available to go to/be loaned to. Master League on the other hand, I don't have any liking towards, it is a poor man's cross between Career Mode and Ultimate Team on FIFA, yet again with a bland menu appearance and an outdated transfer/negotiation system, and there isn't really much more to it than that.

    Final verdict: This game could be so much more with the fundamentals in place, but with outdated blood flowing through it veins, it's being held back.    … Expand

Now they seem to have gone backwards. I would settle for the pes2010 graphics now and just use all their resources and developments on the gameplay.

    We got charged for a game that was nowhere near finished and took many months for extra stadiums and player faces. I won't be buying the next game until i see some good reviews, PES2013 was a class game, felt more like old skool PES. This new game is nowhere near where it used to be, and the promises for the next ps4/xbox one is like pissing in the wind! Every year they come out and say this game will be better than the last and to be honest - None have even came close to the greatness of PES6.

    Every year i'm hoping for a great Pro Evo game.....and every year i'm disappointed! No matter how crap FIFA is, it is better than the joke that is Pro Evo.

    I HOPE this year it will happen for Konami, as buying FIFA makes me sick to my stomach. But i love playing football games and if Konami's game comes out and has the problems that PES2014 had, then that's it for me. I'm not a fifa fanboy! Far from it. I just want a game that responds to the button presses and to be honest i need some decent licenses now! I want to buy the game it plays good and not wait about for option files coming out just so i can get a decent looking game of football.

    If I'm spending money for a football game, the same price as fifa, I want the licenses, i want a game thats finished, i want decent menu's. Graphics and gameplay have to be up to scratch especially on the PS4, Better modes on the game. Master league hasn't been good for many many years. Do we really need it??
    Why can't they think to new things to bring out???... How about a Old Skool world cup mode? every superstar who played in world cups back in the day.
    Hagi? Ronaldo, Romario and beto, Gazza, Maldini, Pele, redondo, baggio, batistuta, many many more.

    Why can't they add some modes for these players, i would love them to reinvent World Cup US 1994.
    Italia 1990.

    Why they just didn't skip the transitional period this year... just miss one year of Pro evo, maybe just bring out an update that updates everything on PES2013 then bring out pro evo on the normal consoles the year after and next gen. Can PS4 even use option files now????? Will it by the time the next gen PES comes out. The game would be very dead if option files couldn't be used.

The game is so uncontrollable, with the ball bouncing off legs and rebounding constantly, just to bounce off legs again. You seem to running about in circles and not playing football. Paying good money to play rubbish, and i mean unfinished rubbish.

Sorry EA Sports for trying Pro Evolution Rubbish.… Expand

    PES 2014 is an utter disappointment from the previous releases. I have been a fan since pro-evolution and what Konami has here is a pure turd. The players are too slow, the ball control sucks, accuracy of both passing and shooting is utter rubbish. For the life of me, I have no idea why the strikers slow down when you're about to strike. I pull my hair every time this happens and IPES 2014 is an utter disappointment from the previous releases. I have been a fan since pro-evolution and what Konami has here is a pure turd.

I pull my hair every time this happens and I almost have no hair left. I even put the game down and tried to read the manual to see if I was missing something but the result was still the same. I am very disappointed and really don't know if I should even try 2015. I have decided to sit it out and wait for the reviews. As for the 2014, it can sit and eat dust. I still have 2011 for now and it still rocks. Konami, I hope you are listening because you will have to wake up and smell the switches to FIFA coming your way.… Expand

    I have been playing PES since it was called Winning Eleven and it only came in Japanese (PS1). This is probably one of its worst outings so far. The past couple of games have been bad but playable. I suspect it might get better through updates, but it should not work like this.

    I paid $60 for a FINISHED game, this GAME IS NOT FINISHED. PES has always had game-play glitches especially their previous engine, but this year, it is so unfinished that it is almost unplayable. It is an experiment, clearly has potential, but they are essentially selling an experiment not a finished product.
    Main problems:
    1. The game slows down when play goes into the areas. (Makes me wanna cry)
    2. Shooting mechanism is terrible. (worst than previous games)
    3. Keepers suck, but that has been the case for PES for the past 4 games so I'm pretty sure that is never getting fixed.
    4. I have not been able to play online at all. (their customer services sucks by the way)
    5. Team rosters have not been updated at all, one of the reasons you buy the new game is for the rosters to be up to date.
    6. the screen slows down when you are changing the tactics for your team, there is clearly a frame rate problem.

    They are SELLING AN UNFINISHED GAME even if they are promising an update by November. Why not just release the game in November? I know they had to compete with FIFA 14, but this is just insulting to faithful PES customers.

    LAST PES I EVER BUY. AVOID IT.    … Expand

    giocabilita???: lentissimo, un sacco di bug, fai gol e x un secondo spariscono tutti, collisioni orrende,papere dei difensori, gli attaccanti nn fanno i movimenti giusti nei contropiedi (ti corrono incontro) i portieri agghiaccianti con movimenti schifosi da spastici fisica del pallone che sembra pesare 2 grammi con tiri a piena barra da fuori area parati senza problemi
    e la traiettoria del pallone nelle punizioni e nei rinvii???? ma che idea di merda basta spostare la linea di traiettoria dentro la porta con un po di effetto e il tiro e servito.. mah che merd ata!!!! ma che ideee sono??
    e poi udite udite on line nn ci sono piu le coppe quei bei tornei divertenti da fare a orari prestabiliti! noooo adesso solo 1vs1 partite di classifiche
    menu schifosi rallentamenti paurosi durante la formazione e la scelta dei giocatori (mah)
    ah e ovviamente diritti e sponsor sempre di meno infatti la premier continua a fare schifo mentre rimane come sempre l'interessantissimo campionato del caz zo olandese!
    qua si va sempre peggio era dall iss pro evolution 1 e 2 che nn giocavo con dei giocatori fati cosi male e trascurati (foto realismo di sto cazz o) chissene di elsha ronaldo ecc se gli altri "meno famosi" fanno cagare (pazzini ecc...)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. PES 2014 este año ha decepcionado considerablemente, una gráfica, en cuanto a parecido se refiere, es asquerosa. La IA no cambia mucho de las anteriores versiones y el modo OnLine es asquerosamente injugable... Lamentablemente Konami no se esforzó mucho y dejo un juego totalmente desechable, sonará estúpido pero hasta los Winning Eleven de los años 2002 son mejores que esto :C… Expand

    I did not enjoy the new PES. Players are unresponsive, their AI is weak, refereeing is sometimes questionable and the automatic passing system often annoying. Match commentary is simply awful. There is almost nothing new in the modes department and as usual team licenses are a problem. But there is a good new engine at last (along with new physics system) and I see some hope for the series in the future. [12/2013, p.50]

    Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 is very much what its name implies, an evolution. Konami have taken off the gloves and issued a very strong challenge to EA; whether or not this will translate to actual sales is yet to be seen as this battle will be fought over the coming year.

    Not quite as well-rounded overall as last year. [Issue#140, p.106]
