PES 2015

[phil bottle 9,741]

From what I read around the old interwebz we have bit of a return to form.

 

The presentation isn't the best (nothing new there) but the gameplay is apparently superior to FIFA.

 

It's a shame they don't release a demo version on PC like EA do with FIFA.

 

I've added it to my wishlist

I'm really not sure what to make of PES 2015 - I've read plenty of positive reviews from media and users but from what I have seen in terms of the footage; it looks ropey as hell. Certainly looks less robotic and more flowing but still the physics look a bit sloppy. I've bought PES and FIFA every year and I think EA are struggling to take their game further whilst Konami are always on an upward climb in quality but I don't know if it's enough to convince me to buy it this year. PES 2014 was much better but it got boring fast particularly with a lack of features. I just dunno if 2015 will grab me in the long run. I think people seem enthused by its improvements but a bit too much as I still don't think it comes close in gameplay terms compared to 1/2/3/4/5/6.

 

I may even reinstall PES 6 with the latest mods as that looks better than 2015 and even FIFA 15 It is good to see Konami taking strides like this though as I actually felt the series would be dead soon with FIFA but the tables could be turning although much work needs to be done on both footie series.

I haven't bought a PES game since '06. I think I've become too used to the feel of FIFA to change over now.

A demo has now become available on Steam so it looks like I get my 'try before you buy' after all  

 

The demo on xbox360 came out months ago and I wasn't that impressed so I'll feedback after I've had a few goes.

I bought the full game after twenty minutes of playing the demo, I really like it. Needs some optimisation (no video/display/graphic options and I can't get it to fullscreen*) but the gameplay is quality.

 

*I found the settings for display via steam local files, silly me

Good stuff Phil! Seeing some very good reviews so I'll probably get it at some stage soon. Did you get it off of Steam or that other site?

I paid my dues to the almighty Steam on this occasion

North East London in the Master League are a damn sight better than their real-life counterparts right now. 

 

20 hours in I have to say it's a really enjoyable footie game to play, though I've not tried the online experience yet. Might give that a go this weekend.

I'm in the master league QFs right now and top of the prem, playing as the spuds, or 'north east london' according to PES. Season has reached 7 March and I'm 12 points ahead of cheatski.

 

Wish I'd had my shadowplay on last night, scored some crackers.

 

Unlike real-life, adebayor my digital version, runs his socks off for me, 'cos I'm the gaffer
