A superb football game held back by a frustrating flaw in its passing game, this is the best football title on new-gen. But it could have been the best of all-time.

PES 2015 lacks FIFA 15's match day flair, instead letting its football do the talking. With exemplary action on the field and a much meatier online mode to get stuck into, football fans are in for a real treat.

PES 2015: Pro Evolution Soccer is yet another step in the right direction for Konami – even if it's again let down by its lack of licensing and complicated online options. Its simulation play is better than ever, and it leads to much more satisfying victories than in EA Sports' alternative. There's room for polish and improvement, of course – but this is still a great game.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 .

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.

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.

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.
