Review of Pro Evolution Soccer 2015

The first in a long time successful release of Konami football series




Last year, the traditional battle «FIFA vs PES» took place not on an equal footing: FIFA 14 from EA already conquered the next-generation consoles, and Konami has decided to delay the transition to Xbox One and PS4, releasing PES14 only on PS3 and Xbox 360. But a year later, both football simulator again faced foreheads: PES 15 - the first game of the series, released for the new consoles. But two series continue to show a completely different football: in FIFA, we see a big and spectacular show, and PES, on the contrary, the main emphasis is on tactical schemes and realism.

According to the latest issues was evident that Konami is in the throws: the Japanese were looking for the right direction of his football simulator, but to find it did not succeed. And only with the release of Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 series managed to steer out of the storm. Konami has finally made simultaneously fascinating and deep tactical game mechanics. Most matches are held in a measured pace, where you circled around the penalty opponent, build a multi-port combination to roll the ball across the field, looking for gaps in the opponent's defensive line, and rascherchivaete diagonal transmission.


With pasami, by the way, in PES 15 all become much more difficult: to give accurate passes and competently take the ball can only technical players like Andres Iniesta. Only with such masters in PES 15 will be able to conduct effective and fast attack, so in PES 15 personalities play a key role. The tempo can explode at any minute, the match rhythm is constantly changing - and this is the main charm of gameplay PES15.

However, even at the highest speeds, PES 15 does not look spectacular as well as FIFA.There looks worse power struggle; during rain almost unchanged physics; when striking from under the feet are not flying particles lawn. Here are made poorer and television broadcasts, which lacks a variety of angles and beautiful plans. Replays much juicier look it in FIFA 15, although earlier this indicator Konami ahead of its rival.
Comparison with FIFA PES has always been inevitable, and since PES 15, we will compare the two series more
And all because the new release will debut a new mode of My Club - an analogue of the Ultimate Team FIFA. The meaning is the same: take a poor team and ennoble it slowly, picking up players abruptly. However, the process is far less pleasant and fascinating, as in a similar mode of EA. If FUT we open sets, admire beautiful card players or buy the right players in the transfer market, the PES 15 new players need to buy through agents. All the trite and simple: the better the agent, the best player he will. What? This will decide the case.Most go out and buy the right players in the My Club, alas, can not. But if you remember, the FUT also did not immediately became so steep, so that for the first time the Japanese have turned out quite well. Let's see how Konami will develop My Club in the following sections.

Worst of all things with the network code - a long wait in the search menu and disable opponents during matches directly attached. Plus Konami is not very well versed in the organization of a network game. Developers for some reason allowed your opponent to miss repetitions you scored goals. And in the pause menu allowed protorchat much as much as 120 seconds! We hope that in the next part of the interval decreased significantly.
The rest in PES 15 all remains as before. Traditionally disappointing lack licenses for most clubs: while FIFA in all its glory is the English Premier League, PES limited invented forms of players and teams that look for a rural. But there are licensed in PES European Cup - UEFA Champions League and Europe - as well as exotic championships like the Copa Libertadores.
Despite all the shortcomings, Pro Evolution Soccer 15 - one of the best parts in the series.Gameplay finally put in order, left to bring to mind a multiplayer game mode and My Club, and perhaps in the future PES already does not look pale against the backdrop of polished FIFA.
