    Secondly, lets talk about the modes, well PES 2019 has always been a dominating factor, when it comes to its modes, and PES 2019, truly outperforms in this regards. The all new MyClub features in this game allows you to auction players within the Auction Market, which has received a number of major revamps this time around, allowing you to bid for those most wanted players. Master League, this year helps you to customise your managerial careers, in which is the best major overhaul this time, compared to PES 2018's game.

    Finally, lets talk about the Exhibition matches, well the dynamic stamina systems feel absolutely realistic and, truly reflects on that of the real football world, for example, say if, a players like Messi or Ronaldo's stamina was particularly low, then that would make it incredibly harder to shoot to get the ball in the back of the net. Some shots will literally fiss like a rocket, others might not be so lucky and may miss or go over the goal lines. Not only that, but reduced stamina and fatigue can truly lead to passes or crosses becoming harder to execute as well, and this feels like this is a huge step up, when compared to the arcadeyness of FIFA 19. Once again Konami has truly done it again!!!    … Expand

    Superb gameplay and MyClub is highly addictive. I don't particularly play offline but I enjoy the online scene. There is a lot to learn, which takes a while to familiarise yourself with, but afterwards it is really enjoyable. My gripe is that there are not enough online COM competitions, which impacts progression and also featured players has been a big failure.

    Скорее положительно. Плюсы: приятный геймплей, графика, играть приятнее по ощущениям, нежели в 2018. Люблю ПЕС за его неаркаднось в сравнении с фифой.

    Недостатки - майклаб. Во первых - долгий поиск соперника.

    И ещё одно. Очень хорошо то, что здесь, чтобы собрать сильную команду, не нужно вкидывать огромные деньги, а просто играть и выбивать карточки за GP. Это приятно, т.к. я могу без гринда или денег собрать отличную команду. Но это немного гипертрофированно здесь. Я за 10 матчей всего собрал уже команду с Модричем, Салахом, Касильясом и прочими сильными игроками. И это только 10 матчей! Ценность таких игроков падает и азарт уходит. Понятно, что это дает возможность играть хорошими игроками тем, у кого нет времени играть часто и помногу, однако интерес к собиранию команды уходит, ведь я могу собрать топ сборнуб вообще без проблем. И у каждого второго сейчас топ тима, все игроки одинаковые у всех. Ну такое. Спасибо, Конами, но это слишком. Я бы выкрутил возможность выпадения топ игроков в два раза, например.    … Expand

Yeah Fifa has 100% better presentation and content but on the pitch this wins for me hands down. Few minor niggles encountered online but nothing major.

    Switched to PES this year after almost exclusively playing its rival for the last ten years of my life. This is the best football simulation game I have ever played. Switch passing and shooting assists off and search for fellow manual-only players in Online Divisions, and it is the best online football gameplay you will have ever experienced. And be sure to apply an option file if you are on PS4.

    El mejor juego de fútbol a la fecha, lo mejor que se puede tener si se busca un simulador, la falta de modos de juego y torneos en MyClub son lo que evita que este más cerca del 10, las licencias no es un tema que este en las manos de konami, más bien tiene que ver con un monopolio de FIFA en este tema. Juego ampliamente recomendado.

    PES VS FIFA.

    "It used to be a war. Its needs to be a war. It has to be a war. For the good of the mankind." Sometimes the "Dark Side" is the side your on(PES 2018). Sometimes what you love turns out to be the sweetheart of everyone(PES 2019). Like all the adults in the room, PES fans do accept that last year was not good from KONAMI. We asked for changes and now we got them. Unlike    PES VS FIFA.

    But who are we kidding. They are all kids. So question is, who will win. In a race between a gambling addiction of kids and game for everyone with purest passion for sports. A gambling addict. Cause they are addicted. And cant judge with reason.

    Long story short, just spend some FUT packs money on this on Christmas, when its cheap. And see for your self. when defenders don't actually make your NOOB friends win. Since I just scored and now its his turn to score. WTF. I am 31 and just cant burn my self over this anymore. PES is the solace i look forward to every year.    … Expand

You wont see every player on the pitch pull of street football moves and the appropriate skills and tricks are applied to their real life counter part, you wont see Harry Kane score a scorpion heel kick into the top corner here, that's just not real football.

    Best pes ever played, if you like football and you ever played it for real, you'll understand this is the best SIMULATION you can get. Clearly there's a big problem with licenses and yes, the offline modes feels a little bit aged and would need a big refresh, even on the design side...but when you start playing on the pitch, you can't stop!

    7.5/10 than 8/10

    Pro Evolution Soccer is a series developed by Konami that has been coming since 2001, not counting the International Superstar Soccer and Goal Storm for PSOne. And as such, this year also doesn't escape to another Pro Evolution Soccer entry. There are several new features this year. The UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League licenses went to the EA Sports game    7.5/10 than 8/10

    Pro Evolution Soccer is a series developed by Konami that has been coming since 2001, not counting the International Superstar Soccer and Goal Storm for PSOne. And as such, this year also doesn't escape to another Pro Evolution Soccer entry.

    There are several new features this year. The UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League licenses went to the EA Sports game and as such Konami had to find alternatives to try to fill this hole. And the alternatives were these: Russian Premier League (exclusivo), Spor Toto Süper Lig (Turkish league), Superliga (Danish league), Liga NOS (Portuguese league), Raiffeisen Super Ligue (Swiss league), Ladbrokes Premiership (Scottish league) and Jupiler Pro League (Belgium league). In turn, clubs like FC Barcelona, Liverpool FC, AC Milan, Arsenal FC and FC Schalke 04, among others, are part of the partnership with the Konami game. As you can see, the Japanese publisher took pains in this chapter.

    In addition to the real stadiums such as Camp Nou, Anfield Road and Emirates Stadium, Konami's usual generic stadiums are also present. Who is back is the Jose Alvalade Stadium and the Stade Louis II (via DLC), while new stadiums in PES series we have, for example, the Veltins-Arena, Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, Celtic Park, Ibrox Stadium, Palestra Italia, and these last three will leave via DLC.

    Of course, the Master League, the Rise to Stardom, the offline and online Cooperative and myClub are present in PES 2019. Both the Master League and the Rise to Stardom haven't undergo any significant changes. MyClub is an online mode similar to the FIFA FUT, in which we have to get scouts, coaches and players, in order to build a dream team capable of taking us to the top. And for that it is necessary to have points or coins (micro-transactions) if we want to have quality players. However, the fact that the Game Rhythm in myClub is automatically set to +2, will not please many. About the connection in the games, I don't have major reasons to complaint.

    Speaking of gameplay, it hasn't changed significantly compared to PES 2018. However, depth passes are now no longer very fatal, which is a good thing. In addition, the physics of the ball is quite good, reacting as expected. And I noticed that the Goalkeepers didn't make those unbelievable mistakes again. However, I feel that there are strange faults that are marked and I notice that the CPU doesn't diversifies its way to attack.

    In graphic terms, Konami never fails in this regard. It's always interesting to see the atmosphere of the stadiums and most of the faces of the super realistic players as well as the facial expressions of the players, especially when they react to what goes on inside the four lines. And what about the audience's sounds in stadiums? I feel that the public shoulded be more effusive every time we score a goal. About commentators, for a long time, is a chronic problem of the PES series and, once again, continues to fail in this department, since the comments are extremely repetitive, biased and boring. If you listen to Pedro Sousa and Luís Freitas Lobo is bad, the English comments are also not much better.

    On the soundtrack, X Ambassadors and Jamie N Commons, Awolnation and Jay Prince, are some of the examples of artists who are part of the list of songs you will hear while navigating the menus. In short, PES 2019 has lost the licenses of UEFA to its rival franchise, and it continues to feel the lack of important leagues like Barclays Premier League, Bundesliga and LaLiga Santander. But I still enjoy this title, thanks to fun gameplay and finally have seen a greater investment in the acquisition of licensed content.

    Verdict: Despite making the same mistakes, PES 2019 continues to be fun to play.    … Expand

In the first years EA was ambitious and had a vision so i enjoyed it.But in the past years it's stagnating gamewise. ive always tried PES demos with FOX engine and i wasnt quit satisfied. It felt a little on rails, the shooting was not as satisying as in FIFA. and the sliding tackles went strate to the feet.I always thought maybe next year they will make it. But this year i feel that they hit the sweet spot. Passing (with support level 1) feel great and not tiki taka, shooting is better and the overall balance is great. I played for a week non stop and went back to FIFA to see the difference. Man it was so hollow...It's fancy alright but the animations need a revamp asap. Players are iceskating, the need so many touches in the ball, ball physics arevery light and not realistic.And here we come in the tactics...PES is in a whole other level. i saw it last year but now i feel it so much.FIFA is like a bunch of people running around, jostling and making a fuzz. What is still better in my opinion in FIFA is slide tacklings which go in open space infront of players and the targeting in shooting which feels more free tha PES although they improved it a lot this year. The Fatigue system brings another level of strategy in the game and when you apply some tactics in your team you see them literally happen on the pitch.That's not a thing in FIFA...And the selling point for me was the freekicks...it feels sooo good hitting the net.The system that EA implemented is so bad, you were skying every ball. So i came back after 10 years because of the gameplay. I dont give a damn about licenses, i got them with a file in few minutes (+ the customization is better) i dont care about FUT or MyClub or online, i only want to play a game with intelligent AI and solid gameplay and this is were PES is a winner like the old times. I give it 9 because there is so much space for improvement.Please fix the AI that goes for low crosses from the wings very often. Put more swerve in simple shots because they go strate forward and add some more replay cameras that are not fixed in the grass so we can enjoy better what we achieve ob the pitch. I really hope that Konami does well and continues to make PES and won't give up like with other franchises because we need that competition.Enjoy !!… Expand
