    I’ve always felt PES was at its best as a couch-based multiplayer game, but it’s heartening to see such a robust online component.

    As far as gameplay is concerned it's a huge step forward - and a step back for AI and graphics.

    Still not as complex and technologically advanced as FIFA, but this is the best PES in years, the game fans were waiting for. Konami managed to resurrect the spirit of Pro Evo 6, but with modern visuals that are breathtaking at times. [13/2014, p.54]

    PES 2015 is a step forward to the next gen football sims. The core gameplay mechanisms are well-balanced, resulting in the game to be a real fun to play and surely the best of the series until now.

    The PC version of Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 is a letdown. PCs are being treated unfairly this year and gets only some of the new stuff (and not everything works the way it should!). The game will run smoothly even on older laptops but I don't think this was the goal - besides the game itself is clearly worse than its competitors and the next-gen version. Of course, you can see the changes and have fun, but that's not enough.

    If FIFA 15 seemed too fast and felt wrong for no apparent reason, it’s likely that PES 2015 is your game. [Jan 2015, p.74]

    If you have a console, get Pro Evo 2015 on that. If you’re a PC-only football fan, this is a functional if lacklustre port of a great match engine with broken online support.

PES2015 is a definite improvement. The gameplay is nice and fluid, and, although there are still some awkward animations, it makes for an excellent game of footie.

    It plays exactly the same at the PS4 version, only the graphics are not as hi-res. However, they are perfectly fine for a football game. The people complaining about the graphics and lack of cut scenes make me laugh. The modders will make this a very special game.

    It's all about the gameplays peeps, and in this department PES utterly destroys FIFA. Presentation has been improved and overall Konami seem to be going in the right direction. Plenty of room for improvement - nevertheless a solid basis to evolve and, most important, a lot of fun to play when you get the hang.

    the great sunrise of PES 15

    long darkness of PES 14 Finally, I Uninstall PES 14 from my pc and
    the great sunrise of PES 15
    ...............after...................
    long darkness of PES 14

    Finally, I Uninstall PES 14 from my pc and install pes 15.

    let's see.....what PES 15 give me this time....
    (1) A game play with decent balance (plz don't think u beat my KOMPANY easily).
    (2) Depth in players face.
    (3) Lots of real player in pes 15 (thanks for zabaleta and marcelo real face).
    (4) Numbers of national team in CAF, AFC, CONCACAF.
    (5) Second division (finally my wigan and leeds back in pes).
    (6) Create a manager. (that's i really like)
    (7) Real commentary name for epl and bundesliga. (in edit mode)
    (8) Finally give some respectful menu (not better than fifa but acceptable).
    (9) Stadium editor (less than I Expected, i just change colors of seats, sideline and turf pattern).
    (10) warsaw stadium, poland (but No wembley wow...., and what's the difference between san siro and giuseppe meazza.)

    what PES 15 not give me...
    (1) My biggest issue is konami cut stadium entrance presentation, substitute and throw ball cut scene from pc and ps3 version. (why konami why...)
    (2) Konami do you have any problem with dortmund.
    (3) Commentary is harmful for my ear.
    (4) No complaint for licence stadium but give some fake or any small stadium for second divison and small club. (i don't want to play second division in big stadium like san siro and allianz arena)

    PES 2015 = FIFA + COPY + PASTE !!!!!

    In My Opinion This Game Is Better Than Last Year's Game But .... Nope PES 2013 Is Still The Best....
    PES 2015 = FIFA + COPY + PASTE !!!!!

    In My Opinion This Game Is Better Than Last Year's Game But .... Nope PES 2013 Is Still The Best....

    This Can Go Nowhere near The PES 2013 Gameplay Fluidity And Responsiveness... There Is Still Traces Of Konami's Obsession To Turn PES Into FIFA !!! Both in The Gameplay And Graphics Design Especially The Top Menu And Ui.

    The Reason Why PES Players Really Play PES Is That FIFA And Whatever It Stands For Even With All The Hype Around it Is Really RUBBISH !!! It's Not Realistic, You Can Watch A Football Game And Even Play One Yourself, And You Can See That It's Not Really That Hard To Play And Handle A Game That It Is In FIFA Series ! And Konami's Decision To Make This Game Closer To FiFA Actually Means Closing This Franchise To Its Demise !!!

    Last Year's PES 2014 Was A Perfect Example Of it.... The Gameplay Was An Absolute Imitation Of FIFA 14.... A horrendous Nightmare Of Inability To Handle & Play And Gathering Your Thoughts For Planning And Executing Tactics And Skills..... And You Already Saw How It Ended Up For Konami !

    That's What I'm Saying In This Game The Grand Scheme Is The Same .... Copying FIFA ! But The Gameplay Has Been Slightly Improved To Make It Feel Like PES 2013 So You Wouldn't Run Away From It Screaming In The First Minute Of The Game ! But When Things Get A Little Bit Professional And Deep You Can Still Feel The Incompetence And Inability Of PES 2014 Still Present In This Game.

    I Give It 5/10 And IT'S NO WAY A TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO THE TOP FOR THE FOOTBALLING'S FAVOURITE SON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have to say that i am fairly disappointed and that now we for sure know why there was no PC Demo in the first place : Nobody would EVER buyI have to say that i am fairly disappointed and that now we for sure know why there was no PC Demo in the first place : Nobody would EVER buy it! The graphics are horrendous to say the least, the gameplay is certainly different than PS4 (played at friend's last night on his PS4) and i do understand licensing is an issue, but cmon, get something at least?

    Why do I, on R9 290x and and latest OCd i7 CPU have to play with graphics looking closer to Android than PC?

    PS4 has far far worse hardware than my PC, what is the problem then? I know it's easier to code it for platform like console but how a bout FIFA 15 then ? I don't see them seeing it as a problem, game looks even better on PC than it does on PS4.

    I mean cmon, not everyone has trash PC so you gotta "tone down the graphics", give us more graphic settings so everyone can enjoy the 2015 game like a 2015 game should be.

    If gameplay was so amazing i wouldn't even bother caring about graphics, but honestly the difference is not too noticable, better than FIFA, but not worth the trade-off.

    I am rating this game low because KONAMI sold it to me under false pretense, saying that " newFox engine delivers stunning graphics" (Steam description for PES2015) yet those "stunning" graphics are nowhere to be seen!?

    Oh yeah and did i mention that PES doesn't automatically detect primary graphics card (for those with integrated+PCIe cards, meaning 99% of pc players) so one has to change primary graphic card to PCIe in BIOS... I mean, what? Was it that hard to sort that one out just by looking how every other game, including those 10 years old, did it without messing with BIOS?

    Insane really.. Deeply disappointed.
