Unlike fifa 15 Pes 2015 doesn't feel staged. u cant always rely on pace. the stamina system works. GK are good without being super humans. dribbling, free kicks takes practices. it seems like years later fifa and pes have switched places. fifa is becoming more of an arcade game and pes more like a simulation.… Expand

   The passing game is improved,the goalkeepers A.I too,the graphics are cool...and the Rain is back :)
   The big disadvantage?licenses and commentary! as usual.
   At last Konami gave us a real Football game...and this time PES has the guts to ''kick'' FIFA of the throne!… Expand

   Docked points for a couple of reasons. They changed the master league online to "my club" mode. It is essentially the Fifa ultimate team mode, which I never liked. I much prefer the old MLO.
   
   Secondly there are quite a few teams missing which should be in there.
   
   Aside from these complaints, this is the best PES in years. Fifa 15 is my favourite fifa so far, but prefer this.… Expand

(Sorry, but itsPES 2015 is rough in some aspects, the graphics are not on pair with FIFA but its gameplay is the best of this "next-gen". (Sorry, but its impossible to write a PES 2015 review without comparing it with its biggest rival)
   
   FIFA is that kind of game that seems suited for one specific playing style. Its a game based on lobbed trough balls, where any tough matches are decided when the midfield Modric just make a impossible pass to Ronaldo, who find himself in front of the goal free to score.
   
   You won't finde in PES 2015 the worst aspect of FIFA series: scripting. FIFA seems to force situations like last minute goals, last minute impossible saves or balls hitting the post. It seems in some matches the game won't let you win, or the game want the match to be exciting, thats why hitting the post is so common during a FIFA match (actually perhaps in 9 out 10 matches you play online the ball will hit the post at some point). Scripting is not a new thing in videogames. Since ISS from N64 it was not hard to realize that the CPU was cheating in some games, but that only happened in Player vs CPU games in hardest levels. In FIFA, even playing against real players I always get the feeling that the match was not natural as it was supposed to be. For example, it seems the game decides that in some moments the CB will be faster than the forward, and in the others will just let the striker overrun de defense to easily score.
   
   FIFA is also a beginner friendly game. FIFA is perhaps the biggest game franchise nowadays, so they must please the casual gamers. PES is a game that takes time to know even simple things, like defending.
   
   Tactics in PES 2015 really works. In FIFA, even if you decide to park the bus and defend deep, you will realize that many times the opponent will find your defense wide open (or Ronaldo will receive that perfect lobbed trough ball free of marking). So, if your opponent decides to play an ultra attacking game, you will easily score in counter attack, while in FIFA playing ultra attacking football with Real Madrid is the way to go, since in EA game high pressuring is really easy, all you need to do is two buttons pressed and let the players do the work.
   
   Defending is also really nice in PES 2015. Most casual football fans care little about tactics, defense and only care about scoring goals and fancy skills. FIFA 14 and specially 15 were designed to please those players. You never really controls your defense. In PES I always feel like I'm controlling my defense, and usually when the back four make a mistake, its my fault, while in FIFA many times I blamed poor AI.
   
   But its far from a perfect game. GKs work 95% of the time, but on some occasions they will make really annoying mistakes. Konami doesn't have the huge licenses you will find in FIFA, but they MUST improve the kits and badge design. That kind of lazy work is not acceptable in a PS4 game. For example, since 2005 Chelsea is London FC, with the same awful badge that looks the work 8 years using Paint, not to mention the kits with lazy designs, colors and textures, that make you feel like you are playing a PS2 game. No to mention the few stadium options. I don't care if they can't use licensed designs, they must give us more generic stadiums. While in FIFA you get up to 40 licensed stadiums and 30 generic stadiums, in PES we have less than 20. Its unbelievable that in 2015 they are selling a football game with only 18 arenas.
   
   Including a generic german league is also a must. Lack of license is not an excuse for lack of teams or players.
   
   Refereeing needs improvement. It just doesn't make any sense. In some simple fouls the referee will give a yellow, in other moments your player will get killed and not even a foul...
   
   Final word: the last time I bought a PES game was PES 6 back in 2006. When PES series arrived in 7th generations its really lost its way. PES 2007 was bad, and so was every single PES game I played since then. After playing FIFA 14 last year, I got really frustrated with EA series. After FIFA 15 demo was out, I decided I was going to skip 2015 football games. Somehow I decided to give PES a try again, after completely giving up the series for the past 8 years. To be honest it has been quite a long time since I find myself enjoying a football video game that much. But when you pay a full price for a football game, you are not only paying for the gameplay. PES suffer from lack of license and lazy overall game design that really hurts the game after some months.
   
   Another problem is the poorly created online environment, with unbalanced matches and leagues where you need to win 7 out of 10 game in order to get promotion. The exciting online gameplay is not present in online mode, that feels a minimalist version of the offline one.
   
   Solid game. 7 out of 10.… Expand

Game-play is terrible. where to start! if you are a football game fan who does not want to score or defend, this is the game for you! lets start with shooting! players reaction to shooting is ridiculously bad. no matter you are trying with Messi or Ronaldo, they all take a long sweet time to raise their foot and shoot! by that time any defender will tackle you. and when it comes to defend, it is so sluggish, it can make Ramos, V.company make look like **** against any low level Com attacker. what comes with this is "cursor changing". in automatic mode specially when defending & chasing a attacker, it wont change you will stuck with the very first player who was chasing the attacker no matter if your player is miles behind and there are other player in good position to tackle the attacker. And if you try to do the change manually, things will really get your nerve because in manual changing it will always pick out the player which are least needed! and even if you do pick out the intended player as soon as the player is selected, it will stop running/chasing the attacker, so you probably will get in much deeper trouble! specially gamers who are playing at harder difficulties (like myself). Year after year PES is finding new low. after pes 2014 you would think it cant get any worse than that but BAM! the developers found a way to a new level of low! do not waste your money on this!… Expand
