Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 does things by halves; it is simply not polished enough, nor good enough. Konami needs to go back to basics, stop adding things to the game, and perfect the very foundation of it because, at the moment, everything seems to be flawed. For every 'Ooh that's awesome' moment, there is another, glaring 'Is that it?' moment. In the grand scheme of things, it is an average package but a decent football game.

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.

With stunning graphics and some of the best football gameplay you'll experience, PES is certainly a must have for any football fan, but what stops it from being a truly immersive and realistic game is the set of dull and confusing menus and sub-menus and still no licensed English teams.

There's a lot to like here and the game definitely has the potential to hook you, as it has us.

I am very happy to see that PES has come onto the new generation of consoles in style, and of a quality that is competitive with a series many times its budget. The world would be worse off without this alternative to FIFA, and without an alternative that presents a different understanding of the sport of football (or soccer, depending on where you are in the world). It might be irritating that there aren't enough licensed teams, but I do think the football purists will prefer the on-the-pitch action of this game.

I'd be more than happy if you could release a product that would make me drop FIFA for PES, but I'm not seeing it

With a new console generation, now is as good time as any to rebuild a legacy, and PES 2015 looks to have taken that opportunity. While not without a share of problems, the title lays a solid foundation for the future of this football franchise.

One popular view holds that EA's FIFA is for football fans while Konami's PES is for gamers. That still holds true with Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 but that's not necessarily an insult. PES is fun, challenging, and rewarding, which is what every sports game should strive to be.

Hampered by the lack of licenses but aided by a sleeker, more refined edge, PES 2015 does its talking on the pitch.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 is the best football simulation experience that Konami has delivered in years, and next year the series might actually be a challenge that EA Sports needs to take into account as it develops its own FIFA series.

در نهایت PES 15 عنوانی الهام بخش ، قوی و عمیق است که بازگشتی امیدوارکننده را به ریشه های ارزشمند این سری رقم زده است . نکته ناامیدکننده PES 15 این است که این عنوان با وجود پیشرفت های بزرگ و غیر قابل انکار در زمینه شبیه سازی گیم پلی هنوز هم از مشکلات تکراری نسخه های قبل نظیر جذاب نبودن گزارش بازی ، کمبود موسیقی ، مشکلات لایسنس ها و البته صداگذاری نه چندان تهییج کننده تماشاگران ضربه خورده است . با این وجود Konami سرانجام با PES 15 توانسته است با بهره گیری از ارزش ها و ریشه های نسخه های موفق و قدیمی PES یک چارچوب و فرمول جدید را در گیم پلی بنا کند اما مطمئنا برای ارائه یک تجربه "کامل و بی نقص" این شرکت به زمان و طرفداران PES به صبر بیشتری نیاز دارند .

Overall it's a welcome return to form for loyal PES fans. The presentation and usability has been improved and the core gameplay dynamics have been finetuned. In a lot of ways it offers a more balanced and more intelligent game of football than its rival, but PES 2015 still doesn't have that depth and accessibility to lure FIFA players away just yet. Next year however, we could see a serious head-to-head for best football game

When it comes to action on the pitch, PES 2015 has no rival. Veterans of the series will be delighted as the familiar magic is back.

With the mantra 'the pitch is ours', PES 15 believes that it has done enough to usurp the title from the FIFA franchise. While PES 15 has improved on a number of features, there are some issues that dampened my experience. Pro Evolution Soccer 15 might have played well, but FIFA definitely still owns the pitch.

While still having room to grow, PES 2015 is an overall much-improved product. Now when people ask which game -- FIFA or PES -- we'll finally have to stop and think.

After a few submissive years, Konami has put forth a game that caters to soccer fans with superb flexibility for creative expression, fluid gameplay and astoundingly intelligent AI. The lack of licensed clubs and presentation standards well below the competition make it appear like a sub-par package, but it won't take long on the pitch to realize the quality of the soccer PES 2015 is build around.

FIFA still has the style and the flair of bringing an authentic looking presentation, but if you want great football on the pitch, then there is only one choice this year, Pro Evolution Soccer 2015.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 takes important strides forward on graphics, presentation and game modes, while out-performing its arch-rival FIFA on the pitch. Official team names, more accessible game modes and some tweaks to tackling would all be welcome, but it's great to see Konami's football game back on form.
