The Same Coin take a look at Konami's latest version of PES 2014
From the moment PES 2014 starts and you are met with the sounds of Nessun Dorma, you know this wants to be a serious football game, but after several missteps in recent years it’ll take more than using a bit of Pavarotti to evoke a generations memories of the summer of 1990 to get Konami’s series back on track.
PES 2014 is easily the biggest revolution of the series since it evolved out of International Superstar Soccer way back in 2001. Whilst its biggest rival FIFA has gone from strength to strength in recent years PES has seemingly stood still, this year Konami are out to address that with a series of new features aimed at making this the beginning of a new era.
The 2013 professional soccer game will lose online play starting November 17.
A new big sale is now available on GameStop in North America, discounting the PC digital versions of several Konami published titles.
Konami has admitted that its focus on visuals for last year's PES 2014 damaged the final product, leading to a game that was only "half done" and "extremely unhappy" fan feedback.
Konami admits PES 2014 was only 'half done', PES 2015 to release 'when it's ready'
Huhh, it's a sports game.
It's not like they're going to delay it until 2016..
They have one year to get it right.
Less features in PES 2014 than normal, you can tell, but the gameplay is by far the best I've ever played for a soccer game.
I'm in my 5th season and I'm still seeing goals, and touches,tricks& animations that are ALL NEW.
Never had 2 games even close to similar either, & the ball physics is the best it's ever been in any sports games.
They got a lot right here, but in return, they cut a lot of meat from the Manager Mode, which was missed.
Training young talent was more difficult than ever and it taking 4-6 years from players to improve 4-5 points is just stupid.
Other than that, I LOVE this game.
Can't wait for PES 2015.
I am playing Konami football games from the Arcade era and I am still playing, I appreciate Pro Evoltuion series but I don't find the so good today as the first 4 games of the series on PS2. I think Konami followed Fifa road...
They should of just tweaked pes 2013 awesome game and it looked better than 2014.pes2013 with next gen gfx's please
Yep me too. My PES days died along with the last decent game they released in PES6. Fifa took over whist they stood still & they have been getting a kicking ever since.
Yes pes 2013 was great, totally they should just have used 2013 as a guideline for 2014 and 2015, how can you trust konami now, same thing year after year, they say allot of fancy words and then its just worse
