eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer 2020 doesn’t ship with the same kits and badges that FIFA 2020 does due to licensing issues. That means clubs like Manchester City and Real Madrid will be unavailable. However, thanks to the ability to add option files to your game, there’s a way to patch them in. Unfortunately, this is only available to the PS4 and PC versions since the Xbox One can’t receive files from a USB drive.

Option files are essentially patches developed by independent sources and allow for adding official kits, badges and teams. It’s fairly similarly to how the Football Manager franchise keeps adding in official kits and crests.

PES World and PES Patch may be good sources but the process for installing on each platform is different. For PS4, you’ll need to download the files to a folder called WEPES. Transfer this to a USB device and place it in the PS4. Load up PES 2020, head to the Extra menu and select Edit.

From there, you can choose Import/Export. Accept the Data Import Precautions and go to Import Competition – this lets you choose which files get imported. Once accepted, leave the Advanced Settings option alone and hit “OK”. The same process can be done for Import Team.

For PC, you might have to download a RAR file and extract it. Copy the WEPES file into the PES 2020 folder on your computer – it’ll be under Documents > Konami > Pro Evolution Soccer 2020. Once again, load up PES 2020, go to the Extras menu and then Edit. Select Data Management, and then Import Team and Import Competition as before.

For PS4, the teams and kits can be used online especially in MyClub. However for PC, they can be used in Exhibition and offline modes. For a more detailed guide, check out the video below by Bromo18 for the whole process:

Development

As has been the case for a handful of years now, Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 will be running on Konami’s very own Fox Engine. They are looking to make a number of improvements to the game’s visuals aspect. Notably enough, the game will support HDR, while on the PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, and PC, it will also feature 4K support. In general, barring these potentially exclusive upgrades, though, Konami are still making a number of improvements. Lighting and shadows are going to receive upgrades, which means stadiums, players, jerseys, pitches, and more will look closer to how they actually look in real life.

One of the biggest developments surrounding Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 in the build up to its launch, however, has been related to licensing. For ten years, UEFA and Konami have had a licensing partnership, as part of which all UEFA competitions, including the Champions League and the Europa League, have been exclusively featured in Pro Evolution Soccer titles. However, after Konami decided not to renew that deal and UEFA instead went into a partnership with EA Sports and FIFA, those competitions won’t be featured in this year’s game any longer. Which, obviously, is a real bummer for a lot of people, since there are many who felt that UEFA licenses were one of the biggest (and few) edges PES had over FIFA.

In spite of losing a major, major license, though, Konami are still looking to make up for that. Many might call it a case of quantity over quality- call it what you will, but Konami are still looking to expand the overall number of official licenses in their game. As such, Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 is going to include licenses for many official domestic leagues around the world that were not included in its predecessors. These include- the Scottish Premiership, Portugal’s Premiera Liga, Belgium’s Jupiler Pro League, the Danish Superligaen, the Russian Premier League, Argentina’s Primera Division, and Sweden’s Raiffeisen Super League.

When it comes to specific teams instead of larger leagues, though, PES 2019 is going to bring about some changes in terms of official licensing. For instance, German team Borussia Dortmund is not going to be officially licensed in the game. Konami had a deal with the club until quite recently, so it was initially going to be in the game, which is why see their stadium and their crest being featured in promotional material for the game so much. However, that deal was ended prematurely, which means Borussia Dortmund (or their stadium) won’t be in the game.

Instead, as a replacement, Konami have signed a similar deal with fellow German club FC Schalke 04, who are indeed going to be officially licensed in Pro Evolution Soccer 2019, along with their stadium, Veltins Arena. Konami are going to use full 3D scanning technology to have better likeness for Schalke’s stadium, jerseys, and players in the game as part of this deal.

Gameplay

Konami are going to introduce several tweaks and fine-tuning improvements to Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 to improve the quality of the moment-to-moment on-pitch action in the game. For instance, Magic Moments, a feature that they started building on with earlier instalments, will be more of a focus this year, while Konami are also looking to add more personality to the players in terms of how they play and animate. Their primary way of doing that is going to be through skills. PES 2019 will include a total of 39 skill traits for players, out of which 11 are going to be new additions.

Among the new skill traits, goalkeeper specific skill traits include GK High Punt and GK Penalty Saver, while on the flipside, Penalty Specialist is also going to be a skill trait. Shooting related skill traits will impact rising shots, chip shot control, and dipping shots. Meanwhile, things such as interceptions, no-look passes, and cross over turns are also going to be governed by specific, newly-introduced skill traits. The remaining two new ones are Double Touch, and Step On Skill control.

Movement in general is going to be improved in PES 2019. Konami have, first and foremost, made tweaks to the physics of the ball itself, to make its movement more natural and varied. Things such as the ball’s trajectory, its speed, and its position will all be governed by how it was kicked, and what the posture of the kicker was. Meanwhile, in situations where the ball bounces off of players or other surfaces, animations and outcomes are going to be more realistic. Players themselves are also going to move more fluidly and organically, and improvements have been mode, most of all, to dribbling animations. Part of that is full body touch, a feature that was introduced last year and is going to be built on this year, as part of which how a player interacts with the ball and how he traps an incoming ball is all based on his positioning, the ball’s speed, and other similar aspects.

PES 2019 will also be making changes to the shooting mechanics. Most of this seems to be reliant on a more varied set of possible animations to make things seem more authentic and realistic, such as goalkeepers narrowly missing saves for some shots, players reacting more realistically to missed shots (also based on how close they were), and conversely, players reacting with more excitement to successful shots that get converted. Another addition that has been made to the game is that of quick subs, something that was actually introduced in FIFA last year. Thanks to quick subs, you can now make substitutions during matches while play breaks with just one click of a button, rather than having to pause the action and go into menus.

Visual fatigue is also a major new addition this year. As a result of this new system, when players become fatigued or tired, they will show clearer and more realistic visual indicators of their conditions, which should, logically, affect their performance on the pitch as well. Meanwhile, the myClub mode (which is essentially PES’ variant of Ultimate Team), is also going to receive an overhaul that will involve a new card system and new ways of building your squad, though what exactly these changes will entail isn’t something Konami have divulged yet. We do know, however, that players’ form and performances will likely mirror their current real life form.

Finally, improvements are also being made to Master League, which is PES’ career mode. For starters, the pre-season cup competition known as the International Champions Cup is going to be included in the game, officially, and will be part of the pre-season in Master League as well. Additionally, improvements are also being made to negotiations and transfers to make them more interesting and realistic. For instance, things such as sell-on clauses, a clean sheet bonus option, and deeper budget management have been added to add more nuance to the management side of things.

Note: This wiki will be updated once we have more information about the game.

While Electronic Arts might technically be behind the behemoth of soccer titles with their monolithic FIFA series, but if EA isn’t careful, they might find Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer franchise sneaking up on them through savvy partnerships like this new Russian league deal.

According to a recent press release from Konami, seven leagues out of Russia’s Premier Liga will be exclusively appearing within PES 2019. PES 2019 will mark the first game appearance of the Russian Premier Liga, and help the game stand out with unique, real leagues to play as when stacked against the might of FIFA. When PES 2019 launches on August 28, 2018, you’ll have the choice of the standard edition with Phillippe Coutinho on the cover, or for another $10, the special edition with some extras and David Beckham on the cover.

The game will be available on the PS4, Xbox One and PC. Thoughts on this new partnership? Let us know in the comments section below.

Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer series has always been a step behind EA’s FIFA franchise but that hasn’t stopped the former from making advancements. Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 is no difference with new modes like 3v3 and 2v2, a Random Selection Match option, even more polish than ever before and so on. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s running on the Fox Engine and looks pretty good.

However, when we say “pretty good”, we mean at the most ideal settings which would be 1080p and 60 FPS. Speaking to global product manager Adam Bhatti, it seems that the Xbox One version isn’t currently hitting that standard. When we asked him whether the PS4 and Xbox One versions runs at 1080p/60 FPS and replied, “Xbox One isn’t at the level right now. That’s not to say it won’t reach it. But right now it’s not.”

What about Nintendo fans who haven’t seen a PES title since PES 2013 on the Wii? Can they play PES 2018 on the Nintendo Switch? With regards to plans for a Switch version, Bhatti noted that, “On a personal level  I would love to. I personally love the Switch.  Right now, we have only announced the game. I don’t want to say, “no” because that’s not true.

“And I don’t want to say, “yes” because that’s not true as well. So it’s a difficult one to answer. I guarantee you every developer would be like this. Everyone is now, “hmm,” because it’s doing fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.”

Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 releases on September 18th for Xbox One, PS4, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 is out later this year and as you’ve probably guessed, it will support PS4 Pro. The question then is whether it will also take advantage of the Xbox One X’s power.

GamingBolt spoke to global products manager Adam Bhatti at E3 2017 and asked what kind of PS4 Pro features could be expected. “Right now we’re committing to 4K for PS4 Pro. Any of the other features we are not ready to announce right now, we are still testing but we are guaranteed to launch with 4K.”

As for the Xbox One X? Well, there’s nothing to say about it right now. “We haven’t made any announcements about Xbox One X. They [Microsoft] made a really cool announcement about X. But it something that as we get closer to Xbox One X launch will be able to talk about it a little bit more. But right now we can’t really say anything.”

Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 will release on September 12th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC along PS3, Xbox 360, iOS and Android.

The game was officially released on September 16 and is going to be carrying support for the PS4 Pro when that console is launched. The developers for the title have reached a number of partnership agreements with real teams and real organizations in order to add realism to the game.

Development

On May 25, 2016 Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) 2017 was officially announced by Konami. During that announcement, the developers said they would be divulging more information about the upcoming title at the 2016 PES League World Finals. This game is latest in what has become a long-running series that competes directly with the FIFA video game series. The developers said, during that first unveiling, that the game is going to be using the FOX Engine to power gameplay. This engine has been used in other versions of PES, but the development team has said there will be new improvements to that engine.

The company said the game is going to be available on the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, and PC and at the time of the announcement the developers would not say when they were officially releasing the game but did say it would be coming sometime this fall. On July 7, a release date was set for September 13, 2016, in North America and September 15, 2016, in Europe and Japan. A demo of the game was released on August 24, 2016.

Konami’s Adam Bhatti divulged during an interview over the summer of 2016 that the development team was basically working on a couple of different versions on PES 2017. Bhatti admitted the PC version of the game would be of a lower quality than the PS4 and Xbox One versions, though it would have a higher frame rate and perform better than the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. Bhatti also said the 2018 version of this game would likely be better than this version.

On September 14, 2016 the development team announced it would be bringing support for the PS4 Pro. This means both the professional soccer games releasing on the PS4 will be offering 4K resolution.

Story

There is no story in the traditional video game sense of a story. Like most sports games, the story unfolds through several different game modes that are included PES 2017. The story, in a general sense is how the team’s season unfolds as players go through it. There are also a number of stories that can unfold through other game modes, but there is not a cinematic story that is part of this game.

Gameplay

During an interview with GamingBolt, PES 2017’s director told the website some of the gameplay changes this version of the game offers. In that interview he said, “and now that they’ve added various things, like proper transfer deadlines and training and stuff like that, it’s going to make it more engrossing. We’re just going to continue to refine what’s in there. I think that we are always up for coming up with new ideas but they’ve got to be bolstering the PES experience. Because gameplay is key, you buy a game to play it and that’s where we want it to be.”

Among the innovations that have been brought to the gameplay in PES 2017 is a revamped commentary system. The developers have said the innovations in this commentary comes in the form of audio concatenation, the process by which individual units are linked to create a fluid, more “natural” sounding commentary. The commentators that players will be able to listen to will be Milton Leite and Mauro Betting in Brazilian Portuguese commentary. Jon Kabira and Tsuyoshi Kitazawa are the commentators for the Japanese version. Cantonese and Mandarin commentary is added for the first time in this series in PES 2017.

As far as the mechanics in the game, the developers have included something they call “real touch” which is supposed to better mirror how specific real life players control and pass the ball down the field. This includes a slightly different feel for when a player is making a shot on goal for different real players in the game. Corner kick control has been revamped in order to make it feel as though it is a bit more realistic than what we have seen in previous versions of the PES franchise. The developers have also said the game is going to have a more adaptive AI that will apply both when players are going up against the computer in a season match, as well as the computer controlled teammates.

The modes that are available to play in PES 2017 include MyClub, which is a way for players to build up a franchise from the ground up. Players will be able to control how money is spent, scouting of potential additions to the roster as well as season opponents and setting the lineup. Master League is an expansion on MyClub which gives you more control over a kind of dynasty mode that goes through multiple seasons.

Teams

There are literally hundreds of teams contained in PES 2017. Almost all the teams that can be found in the title are those that play in the following leagues:

• Ligue 1
• Ligue 2
• Eredivisie
• Serie A – aside from Juventus, Sassuolo, and the league’s own official name.
• Campeonato Brasileiro Série A
• Primera División of Chile
• Argentine Primera División
• AFC Champions League

The licenses for the team names are complicated a bit because they don’t have the ability to get every real name. Instead there are a number of team names that are a bit different. The team names can be edited in game in order to have the correct names by the user.

Note: This wiki will be updated once we have more information about the game

PES opens to a menu that isn’t glitz and glamor as has often been in many games from past years; showering on a better menu than the game often produces. No. PES’ menu is clean, simple, to the point. Right from the get-go all options are right there at the fingertips. This doesn’t mean the menu is flat. It is in fact very colorful. Players line many menu options, colorful art and team logos throughout showcase a very unique, simple menu style.

"The funny thing is that nothing really seems changed that much. Yet it’s all hidden in, perfectly mingling and intertwining; making sure the player doesn’t quite notice what changes have occurred. That is what makes a game better than great."

As the audience in the stadium roars, It’s time for the real fun to begin. PES isn’t a copy/paste game of last year’s endeavor. It shows Konami’s strengths of learning from its past and evolving from iteration to the next. Controls are not complex and understand a simple style of getting the job done. Understanding the move sets and matching those sets up with NPCs becomes a breeze and feels very efficient. From controlling the ball to a solidified fluidity of functionality of dribbles and passes and often between AI, everything is immediately understandable and feels set to play for veterans and new comers alike. Improved upon are the AI when in control of the ball. Passing and understanding the surroundings of what options are quickly approaching becomes more understandable to these players.

Now what exactly makes this game so much more impressive than last few entries? Like I said before, there are small difference. Fluidity is so much more impressive. AI trying to tackle, steal, and barge are real showcases that one truly wouldn’t notice as improved because it feels so natural one would probably forget that in past games they weren’t there or weren’t addressed correctly. Similar to a new coat of paint. Something is different. But we just can’t put our finger on it clearly enough. But we know it’s better. It’s an odd feeling to know we are finally getting a game that addresses so many smaller things that it’s hard to remember that they weren’t there in past games of its kind.

" Improved upon are the AI when in control of the ball. Passing and understanding the surroundings of what options are quickly approaching becomes more understandable to these players."

The Master League mode is in better showing this time around with additional options making it feel even more amazing than ever before. Scouts are there for guidance. They can recommend players based on how weak we essential are in certain areas. Of course there are always contract renewals and negotiations throughout the season. Team Roles allows players to level up as the game is played. This in turn also levels us up as well. These levels create bonuses for the team but add money to the team pot as well.

Upon starting PES up, it’s immediately apparent that graphics were not first on the list of making this a well received game. Stadium audience is copy/pasted with standard motions. But who looks at the audience to play soccer anyway? Player design and appeal are somewhat last gen looking. This shouldn’t hold back anyone who is interested in this sort of sports game, however. These are minor quibbles to what this entry truly offers.

What really makes this game feel fresh and actually amazing is beyond even the gameplay. PES 2016 offers a very motivational and energy fueling soundtrack. From the intro video showcasing “We Will Rock You” by Queen to many other well known artists such as Joywave, Clean Bandit, CTS and a handful more. Listening to these ‘real’ tracks while in the menus and other areas made it feel how being present at a real game would be: music blasting over loud speakers, getting the audience pumped and ready for a great game.

"Player design and appeal are somewhat last gen looking. This shouldn’t hold back anyone who is interested in this sort of sports game, however. These are minor quibbles to what this entry truly offers."

Is PES the best soccer game ever? That’s a tough question to answer. With so many minor, but needed improvements, PES has evolved into an almost realistic feeling game. Now, I know we say something like this every generation (remember how ‘realistic’ is felt destroying bricks in Super Mario Bros. in the 80s!?), but with little implementations such as players tackling in a more aggressive fashion, or nipping at the feet, trying to steal that ball, these little attributes majorly add up to something supreme. Is this the best soccer game ever? Who knows. But I know it’s one of the best and every soccer game forward should take lessons from PES 2016.

This game was reviewed on the PlayStation 4.

With FIFA 08, though, Konami’s franchise lost some of its ground, and with every following FIFA game, EA Sports started taking a more dominant hold of the market, until finally, FIFA was the force to be reckoned with, selling like peanuts and receiving legitimate praise. However, after FIFA 13, the series slowed down a bit- FIFA 14 was nowhere near as good or as refreshing as FIFA 13 was, and FIFA 15 is, barring a few tweaks that have to be lauded, more of the same.

"Using the famous Fox Engine and building on PES 2014’s stuttering yet remarkable steps forward, Pro Evo Soccer 2015 has brought the PES franchise back into the limelight with a shout"

Sensing the FIFA series’ slowing momentum, it seems that Konami has chose to strike. Using the famous Fox Engine and building on PES 2014’s stuttering yet remarkable steps forward, Pro Evo Soccer 2015 has brought the PES franchise back into the limelight with a shout, announcing to the world that the FIFA series may have won the past few battles, but that the war is still very much on. PES 2015 is excellent, thrilling, challenging, and rewarding, and for the first time in half a decade, Konami has managed to outdo EA Sports- and they have done so in a very spectacular way.

I was surprised when I realized, after having played several hours of both FIFA 15 and Pro Evo 15, that the Konami game appealed to me more than the EA game did. I have always been one of those nitpicky football fanatics that appreciates the FIFA games for being as authentic as they are- proper chants, licensed team names, licensed stadia.

Plenty of times, the fact that PES did not have those things proved to be almost a deal-breaker for me. But I realized that this year’s PES was more authentic than FIFA on a deeper level, a level that matters more than licenses and chants. When you play a number of matches in PES, you realize that it has managed to capture the intricacies and the complexities of the beautiful game almost to perfection, in a way that FIFA just hasn’t managed to do in the last two or three years.

There has been a lot of focus on tactics in football in the last few years- and with managers like Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal both in the highly publicized Premier League, tactics have become even more important to the football watching public. And PES makes the art of winning football matches while holding controllers a very, very tactical affair, and the matches are better for it. The main reason for this huge improvement in the game has to be the AI.

"The artificial intelligence- both, friendly and opponent- in PES 2015 is surprisingly good. Wingers make bursting runs, full backs overlap with them, strikers make intelligent diagonal runs, goalkeepers and defenders come out to tackle, players drop back to defend when they lose possession, and all of this is done in a very organic, realistic way."

The artificial intelligence- both, friendly and opponent- in PES 2015 is surprisingly good. Wingers make bursting runs, full backs overlap with them, strikers make intelligent diagonal runs, goalkeepers and defenders come out to tackle, players drop back to defend when they lose possession, and all of this is done in a very organic, realistic way. Not only does this make it very exciting for you to play when you’re attacking- spotting a teammate’s run and then sending him through on goal is more satisfying than it has been for a long time in any football game- but it also gives defending that much more of an edge. You always have to cope with intelligent play by your opponents.

What’s even more impressive is that your opponents adapt to your tactics and the way you play overtime. Slow and lumbering defenders might be exploited by pacey strikers, especially those that come on as substitutes, and if you try and get in on goal using the same tactic too many times, your opponents will eventually find a way to defend against you.

Whip in crosses from the same area towards the same player too often and the opposing manager might bring on a tall, muscular defender who has the ability to win headers. Try and cut defenses open with too many through balls, and you might realize that the opposition has started playing a much tighter game with very little spaces for you to exploit. Have one of your full backs receive a yellow card, and the opponent might look to take advantage of that with trickery and flair in that wing of the pitch.

It all comes together and makes for authentic and extremely enjoyable play, which makes winning matches all the more rewarding. The fact that you have to keep adapting to your opponents, just like they have to keep adapting to you, means that you probably won’t play too many matches that are similar to each other. Every match feels like a new experience, which means that there isn’t much chance of you getting bored due to repetition.

"It may not have the superficial authenticity or the stadium atmosphere that FIFA can boast of, but when it comes down to the on-pitch action, it has to be said that PES 2015 takes the cake this year."

There are a few glitches and bugs here and there, as you expect them to be- sometimes the generally realistic physics go haywire, and there are some players who look nothing like they actually do- but overall, PES 2015 is a pretty polished game. There is a sense of weight to the controls, and the game in general is much more responsive than previous instalments. The visuals, too, are generally top notch. A few old problems, like band menus and boring commentary, still persist, however this time around, it does not feel like they’re getting in the way of your enjoyment as much as they might have in previous PES games.

Off the pitch, Konami have, quite shamelessly, tried to rip off FIFA’s Ultimate Team mode with the new myClub mode. While it’s a much more simplified and basic version of FUT, and not nearly as rewarding or as addictive as the FIFA series’ extremely popular online mode is, myClub still has to be deemed a good foundation for Konami to build on in the future.

It takes a while, but once you’ve spent a considerable time playing PES- at least more than a couple of hours- you realize that this is a very authentic football simulation game. And that’s where its main strength lies. When you’re playing PES, you’re playing proper football, and it doesn’t do anything that you wouldn’t expect to see in a football game.

In fact, it simulates the nature of a football match very well. It may not have the superficial authenticity or the stadium atmosphere that FIFA can boast of, but when it comes down to the on-pitch action, it has to be said that PES 2015 takes the cake this year. We can only hope that PES Productions will go from strength to strength now, because with PES 2015, they have a damn good foundation to build- or rather rebuild- on.

This game was reviewed on the PlayStation 4.

With Pro Evolution Soccer 2015, PES Productions are pushing the bar even further with improved visuals and several tweaks to the gameplay mechanics. GamingBolt caught up with the game’s Senior Brand Manager, Tim Blair to know how this year’s iteration will take the series forward. Check out his response below.

Pramath Parijat: Besides the visual upgrade, what kind of advantages has the Fox Engine bought to PES 2015?

Tim Blair: The Fox Engine allows for lighting and rendering in close to real time, which has made it much easier to make adjustments along the way. However, please understand that the primary advantage is the graphic fidelity.

Pramath Parijat: On one hand we have EA Sports’ FIFA which has expanded a lot in the last few years and on the other we have PES which is fighting to make its way back to the glory days. Why should fans pick up PES 2015 over FIFA 15?

Tim Blair: While we can’t/won’t comment on other companies’ titles, for PES 2015, we feel that once people play the game they will understand how we have updated the controls, responsiveness and returned to our core values that this game has been known for.

"There have been tweaks to the patterns of dribbling, jinking runs and general ball handling. Also, players will be able to see how well they can control not only the ball, but the overall pace of the game as they please.

Pramath Parijat: Have you address the issues from PES 14 like response times of the on-field players?

Tim Blair: We recognized this as an issue from last year’s installment. A lot of time and effort was devoted to making sure that this area was cleaned up. We believe that players will instantly notice the difference as they play.

Pramath Parijat: How are you planning to make PES 15 different but at the same time allow the player to play like he will play in real life?

Tim Blair: There have been tweaks to the patterns of dribbling, jinking runs and general ball handling. Also, players will be able to see how well they can control not only the ball, but the overall pace of the game as they please.

Also, two more areas that were focused on include the one-on-one challenges and the final through-pass just before a goal. We know that these are some of the most exciting and dynamic areas of football and tried to make these as rewarding as possible. We believe players will be happy with the results.

Pramath Parijat: There is a general feeling among players that the online component is not engaging. What steps have you taken to improve this in PES 15?

Tim Blair: This year, you can play online in a few different ways. There are online divisions, where you can engage in online season of 10 games against online opponents. Players receive points as they play the games, and if they get enough points over the 10 games, they can advance to a higher division; likewise, if the player does not get enough points, the player may go down a division. There are 12 divisions in this mode.
The other online modes include team play (11 vs 11 will be available again in PES2015), online friendly matches, quick matches (these don’t count against your online record) and online competitions.

"Users also need an agent to sign players for their clubs. Even agents can be replaced with better agents, obtained by playing in matches and competitions. The quality of the agent is directly related to the chances that users will draw better players in the mode’s lottery system.

Pramath Parijat: What kind of improvements have you made to the game’s Master League?

Tim Blair: This feature has been largely revamped over the previous year’s version. For example, the training is now player specific. The player can focus on balanced, passing, shooting, physical, dribbling, defense, or speed categories.

The negotiations section has also changed. The player uses a scout and can set parameters of where to look for players, which then generates a list of possible transfers. The players on the list are more likely to sign with you. In addition, you can also search for potential targets on your own without the scout, although the scout does help sweeten the deal. Even the negotiations are more flexible, as you can find out what players are thinking about your terms, which allows you to make a better package for them before the initial offer is sent over. These negotiations can happen at any time, but you still have to wait until the next transfer window.

While not mentioned in the question about the online component above, Master League’s online mode has been replaced with “myClub” mode. Players pick a manager and which country the majority of the players will come from. The managers all have a unique set formation, so players can select one that will work well with their own individual game style. Once the manager and basic country is set, players can upgrade the players and manager through “Game Points”. These are earned as you play matches. In addition, we have also added microtransactions where users can purchase myCoins for quicker upgrades. The “Game Points” (GP) or myClub coins become more important as they are needed to manage the players’ contracts and stamina.

Users also need an agent to sign players for their clubs. Even agents can be replaced with better agents, obtained by playing in matches and competitions. The quality of the agent is directly related to the chances that users will draw better players in the mode’s lottery system.
As users upgrade/improve their manager, they will find different on-the-field strategies/tactics that will improve the overall quality of the team. If you improve the manager, you will attract better quality players.

Finally, myClub also focuses on overall team spirit, and there are added benefits when players accept and agree with the manager’s style, have played together with other players from the same league system, or have played a lot of matches together with the current roster.

Pramath Parijat: What are the core differences between the current and last generation versions?

Tim Blair: The gameplay should feel the same, i.e. the responsiveness of the controls, the playing styles, etc. The primary differences are graphical. Also, some of the cutscenes have been taken out in the last generation consoles, simply because of the limitations on those consoles. However, players should not notice any significant gameplay differences.

Pramath Parijat: As a closing note, is there anything else you want to tell us about the game that we haven’t asked?

Tim Blair: This year also includes an editing function, which will allow users to edit stadiums, players, and uniforms/kits.

Finally PES 2015 debut’s an entirely new way to play with friends: Role Control. Using Role Control, up to 3 players can play on the same team and take control of the forwards (attackers), midfielders, or the back field (defense). By giving players control over a certain area of the field to give they can take better control and have more ownership over that area of the gameplan. In addition it allows users of different skill levels to play together and still have a great time.

Development

There is a Demo of Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 that will be available to gamers from September 17th.

Speaking via a translator to Polygon, the games Executive Producer of Konamis PES Productions has said “The issue we have with a limited number of staff in Japan is that there are so many different football cultures,”…”We think that, Europe being a very important market for us, we wanted to provide something to appeal to the fans there, to their football culture. We wanted to create a PES brand that is accepted by the European culture and we thought having a production studio based in the U.K. would be a very good creative space for the fans to accept our game.”

Gameplay

Gameplay has been tweaked since 2014 which suffered from slow and heavy feeling characters for a more responsive and slightly faster experience. The games creative producer, Kei Masuda has commented on the games change in pace. PES 2015 is a bit quicker than its FIFA opposition. Masuda has said, “The game speed has been increased to allow for that burst of speed, as well as slower technical movements,”…”The passes and shots have been revised as well, and their relation to the power [behind them] has been directly affected.”

The games official website touts lightning fast ball controls that have been “fine tuned” for an “unparalleled” gameplay experience. A “highly developed AI” that is said to constantly adjust to the action on the pitch, they expand on this by saying “Teammates always offer options and support, making runs, finding space or marking opponents”

The powerful FOX Engine gives the game increased animation capabilities that help bring both the crowd and the players to life, be it from players movement to the crowd dynamically reacting to the flow of the match as control wavers between the teams.

The game has also been given a new shooting mechanic that allows the player to accurately control how much power they put behind a strike and where it goes.

Teams

The listings for playable teams in Pro Evolution Soccer 2015  have not yet been revealed.
