    the graphics are very good, and the moves are great. i just have to give it 10, but of course there are some things you can fix, but so can be said of almost any game. Pes is more like football while Fifa is more like pingpong, as simple as that. Buy it!!!    … Expand

    So much better than scripted fifa...pes15 is incredibly fun to play. Players are responsive and konami have coded real intelligence into the CPU play to make it challenging instead of the scripted nonsense that is EAs preferred (lazy) modus operandi. Anyone that knows anything about footy will see the shallow experience that is fifa and recognise that PES is the only true footy game out there.

    I know its tedious but you have to compare this game to FIFA at some point. And boy does this game shine in that aspect. Everything from passing to movement is so fluid and feels un restricted. Anyone who already has Fifa 15 and is looking for a less infuriating and more rewarding experience, I highly recommend this. You'll never feel like the game was scripted or cheated you.

    This game is simply amazing. It feels so much better than the 2014 version. Everything responds fast and smooth now. On top of that the AI is a lot better too. If you love to play football on your console with friends on the couch, this is the football game for you. It has a lot more game modes than FIFA that are couch friendly. EA has too much focus on online gameplay.

    Game-play is quality. You can play thousands of hours and you wouldn't even notice, every game is unique, every goal is unique. HUGE improvement from pes2014.
    Keepers are alot better. Shooting is fabulous. Passing is great.
    Konami still need to improve somethings like Modes, Commentary(awful) and of course the licenses.
    Summary - Beautiful game, BEST of its generation, but not all-time best.

    PES is back this year, with some very fluent gameplay. Passing the ball around feels great and every attack feels different. The player individuality is great and player faces look so real. Licensing's aside there are no real negatives for this game.

    The most important game mode is the online competition for FUT, My Club, which, IMO, gets everything right that FUT doesn't. Except for the variety of tournaments, all else is better, is more honest. The FUT packs system, made as ana addictive money-grabbing scheme is nowhere to be found in PES. In its place, a much more realistic and honest system, the agents system, with a much less aggressive ratio between in-game currency values and that paid currency values. You get a player for each match, and the quality will depend on your performance. No marketplace, which means no cheating, no inflation, no black market, none of the things that pollute and undermine FUT experience. Online works very well, unlike FUT, which suffers constantly with lagging issues (played a match in FUT at about 5fps).

    One thing I like a lot is the cameras. I use the vertical camera, because it allows me a more tactical view of my attacks and seem a little bit more realistic. On FIFA, the vertical camera does not switch sides on halftime, and on the 2nd half I always found myself attacking looking at my defense field... very dumb... On PES, on the other hand, i works flawlessly, and even the Player camera has had severe improvements.

    The gameplay is much more enjoyable and the provides the feeling that the results of the matches are determined by your actions, not some scripted routine, like FIFA. The best description was given on a pro review "PES is more rewarding in defeat than FIFA is in victory". 100% accurate.

    The only downside of the game is the lack of some licences, but that was never a deal breaker to me (let us not forget that FIFA itself lost a bunch of licences this year). Besides, with the editor and with all the mods that are about to come, that issue will have a short lifespan. And it is sort of fun to try to decipher the odd names they came up with.

    I am very pleased and very proud of my soccer game choice for 2014/2015.    … Expand

Its very close to being perfect, it takes skill get in on goal, no pace abusing, just passing, timing and an eye for a good run. Its not perfect as far as Master League goes, retired players return as youngsters but I can forgive that because when all is said and done, you spend your time on the pitch. That is where they went to work and its paid off. PES is back!… Expand

Really enjoyed the calculated build up and passing the game offers which reflect real football much better than FIFA plus I don't seem to get any bouts of rage compared to FIFA too, even when loosing.; The game modes are fun too, myclub works quite well massive scope for improvement here. Not suffered any lag online and found games freely too compared to FIFA which is lag city central. Only major downside is lack of licenses and amateur presentation with menus and layout. Some of the menus look rather crude and same as they did all them years ago in ps2, they really could do with a major cosmetic makeover. IF PES had the full licenses and all of the whistles and bells that fifa has, then it would be no.1 for sure as the gameplay is much better. Lack of this holds it back, overall I would recommend if you are growing tired of FIFA ( dont give up after a solitary game, needs a prolonged run to adapt if your coming from FIFA) and like me you may find it to be so much more fun than FIFA even when things don't go your way.… Expand

    PES is advance many steps this year.
    There are still bugs and at the Release-Day are the server often overloaded, but now the server run well again and this game online and offline a lot of fun.
    You have to wait a few more weeks pass time until everything is perfect, then patch the licenses and then FIFA has lost.
