    Excellent gameplay. I don't care about licenses and stadiums. The announcers and commenting is average but it doesn't affect the overall enjoyment of the game.

    On the pitch is where PES shines and that's all that matters in football games. It's realism is unmatched and every goal is possible. FIFA may be the better game all around, but PES is the far superior football game.

    PES 2019 in my opinion will beat FIFA19 hands down. I know that PES has no licences but it took 3 mins to apply option file. Gameplay is great, crisp and animations are beautiful. On the pitch PES has no rival.
    Fifa fans might not like it as it is hard to score and takes time and patience. FIFA arcade - PES simulation.
    Take your pick

    Very Fluid and responsive, game play is top notch and enjoying and still gives you the same PES feeling. Graphics are much approved and game deserves a lot of credit. If you are looking to enjoy game play, this is the game to pick. If you want to enjoy looking at real teams kits, then FIFA is your type of game.

    Dont take the reviews by gaming website as your reference, most of them

    Dont take the reviews by gaming website as your reference, most of them lower the score because of the missing kits in game (which you can upload by the way to PES). Try the game and judge yourself.

    Herní fotbalový král je zpátky. Náhody, odrazy míčů či přístup hráče k míči - to jsou faktory, které dělají každý zápas originálním.

    Best football game ever, the gameplay is so realistic and the graphics is stunning. Dont pay attenton to negative comments, they are fanboys who cant stand that their game without licences will be dead.

    Another superb rendition of the beautiful game but takibg graphical and game realism to new heights. Add an option file and it is, again, the premiere football title.

    ¡Ha vuelto el rey ! Pes 2019 nos entrega una jugabilidad de un altísimo nivel, como hace tiempo no se veía en juegos de fútbol.
    Pros:
    Entretenimiento garantizado, cada partido es un mundo
    Los modelados gráficos lucen espectaculares en estadios y jugadores.
    Jugadores poseen características particulares marcadas que se notan en cuanto a contacto físico, desplazamiento, reacción y otras variables.
    Iluminación cuidada.
    Sistema de fatiga física que se nota mucho en el desarrollo de los partidos.
    No hay jugadas imposibles, cualquier movimiento o pase debe calcularse a conciencia.
    Sistema de control y pase ajustado a la realidad.

    Contras: Las licencias, pero cuando buscamos un simulador de lo que pasa de verdad en una cancha de fútbol, lo que menos interesa es una camiseta o un logo.
    El sistema de mercado de jugadores, myclub sigue siendo insuficiente.
    NO LO DUDES, VE POR UN SIMULADOR DE VERDAD.

    This is so unfair !! I have no respect to the critics !! They gave a 75 score to the best football game ever in terms of gameplay !!! And they already gave FIFA an 85 without seeing it or coming out yet !!! This is so pathetic and biased. I am talking to you all soccer users. If you want to play football this year, get PES 2019.

    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.

    "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 people on the other side of the moon to whom game is 10/10 every year. and still "FIFA is wayyyyy better this year". But you said last year it was perfect. Make up your mind dumb dumb.
    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.

    After DLC 2.0 launch, the game is reborn.

    Amazing gameplay and ball physics.

    Bugs fixed in the offline game.

    It's the authentic simulator of the genre

    Firstly, I would like to say that PES 2019, truly looks and feels like a football game, when compared to the EA Sports franchise FIFA, the animations are fluid, the transitions when either on the ball, or off the ball feel extremely smooth and the ball physics feel remarkable.

    Secondly, lets talk about the modes, well PES 2019 has always been a dominating factor, when it comes to its
    Firstly, I would like to say that PES 2019, truly looks and feels like a football game, when compared to the EA Sports franchise FIFA, the animations are fluid, the transitions when either on the ball, or off the ball feel extremely smooth and the ball physics feel remarkable.

    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!!!

    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!

    10 out of 10 might be unrealistic but 0 definitely is being silly. Every year the same complaints about licenses and this year complaints about menus - really guys? Who cares. You don't play the menus. Complaints about lack of licenses - similarly who cares. Get a patch off the internet and 5 minutes later it is not an issue. There is only one question to answer - do you like football? Are10 out of 10 might be unrealistic but 0 definitely is being silly.

Are you a purist about football games or just a casual gamer who values style over substance? If the answer to either of these questions if yes then PES is probably your game. It has being that way for about 15 years now, its not going to change any time soon. Expand

    Great new animations, magical moments, improved pass/receiving mechanics, and a lot more, makes for another great year of PES. It could have had more league licenses though.

    Almost perfect gameplay makes PES 2019 the best football simulation ever, but due to stagnation in terms of available modes and the usual scarcity of licences it’s “merely” a good game. [11/2018, p.82]
