  • Summary: PES 6 once again features the graphical and gameplay tweaks that enable each new title to play completely differently from previous incarnations. The shooting system has been the subject of extensive retouching, now enabling players to pull off much more accurate snap shots as well as being able to exert a much larger feeling of control when going for quick half volleys or difficult full volleys. The intelligence of players has seen a marked improvement. For example, players now make more realistic runs into space, often pointing where they would like the ball played. The physical aspect has also been beefed up, with strikers using their sheer presence to turn defenders and likewise, the defenders stepping a yard away to enable them to force players away from goal and not letting them spin into dangerous positions. PES 6 also has a number of new teams licensed for inclusion, with the International roster now featuring the official kits for Argentina, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Sweden. New gameplay modes have been added and features like the much loved Master League mode also returns, together with a host of new tricks, feints and animations that can be used to bamboozle your opposition.

  1. In PES6 you can make a sliding tackle and come up with the ball, and the AI has been greatly improved. The passing and shooting have been made harder to master and the players' movement off the ball is better.
  2. For the single player, though, Master League is where it's at and, personally speaking, it remains the greatest game mode of all time in any game ever. [Dec 2006, p.84]
  3. Remains teh best 'arcade' football game around. [Christmas 2006, p.74]

    Another season starts here... Best football simulator, better then ever before! But still there is some things to be improved: 1. More licensed teams and leagues will make challenge more realistic. 2. AI! Even at "Top Player" difficulty scores up to 12-0 can take place and some seasons in ML ends with more then 170 goals scored(213 - best) and less then 30 conceded (9 - best) after 30 matches! So it NEEDS TO BE MASSIVELY IMPROVED IN NEXT GAMES IN SERIES! Expand

    I don't understand how all these magazines find the 2 recent PES so perfect! (PES 5 & PES 6) Okay it's true that the AI has improved much with real player speeds incorporated and those "better runs into empty spaces" offering much realistic and efficient counterattacks. But that's all. It's nearly impossible to score an organized foot goal with an average team : only headers or penalties! I could be able to score my first "real" goals with through passes when I chose Barcelona as a final chance! The reasoning behind the strength of teams is also very disappointing : all players run faster. And that's why you aren't able to play with average teams because you lose the ball somewhere as your players are unable to pass quickly after they received one. Really ingenious! I was playing PES4 for hours, but now I can't stand either PES 5 or 6 more than half an hour. A game must now to satisfy its user at a minimum degree, and for the majority of people I've spoken to, PES6 fails at it as did PES5. Expand
