Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 (PES)

Some of the United heads in PES look terrible but Adam Bhatti, PES community manager, said om twitter that the day one patch will include a lot of player faces updates so .....

Anyway, here's the other top teams from the demo. PES is better by quite the margin, primarily the lighting and skin shader.









FIFA best
PES best
PES best
FIFA best

In my opinion.

EDIT - that was with regard to Ronaldo, Messi, Mueller, and Tevez - only just realised they are videos!
 
How do you guys usually play master league? Start with the normal club players or start with pes players and build your own team up? I just opted for the latter for nostalgia reasons. Used to love the days where shevchenko and Carlos were my first signings.
 
Considering dropping FIFA for this, but I'm not quite sure yet. Early reviews sound promising though, but they did last year as well.

As for the player faces, I think they are quite even. FIFA generally have more faces, but the lighting and shading as someone mentioned before is quite off. On the other hand, when PES doesn't get one right, it's quite bad. Busquets, for instance, looks East Asian on PES, although when they get it right, it's spot on, like Pirlo for example.

Gameplay-wise, it's about 5 times better than last years version.

I like taking the original club line up. I'm just not sure what sort of team to go with. I'm thinking maybe a team just below the elite clubs, like atletico. That, or a proper top team. I don't want to go with a real average team as I want that to be my second ml when I'm more used to more advanced controls and settings.
 


Fifa seems to have improved majorly on player faces. They are so much better than this year's PES except for Blind. He looks amazing on PES


:lol:

Look at Rojo ffs, he is ridiculously overweight and his face is so wide. Fifa's version is a completely different person mind. Pro had it right, but decided to make him the size of two people instead.

Edit...oh my god Herrera is just some random fat English guy

Edit...also evil Mata and a Halloween version of Di Maria?

I mean they've literally scanned their heads in Fifa. It doesn't really get more accurate.

This is true but it's kind of ruined when you put Johnny Evans in the team and instead of Evans there's some bleach blonde generic hobo running around.

It also means little to me how much like Di Maria's face Di Maria's Fifa face looks like, when his main strength on the game seems to be heading in corners by towering above the goalkeeper.

My first signing was Ivan de la Pena, I think he was the only player in Pro Evo 5 with an 8/8 for both feet, it was a joy pinging the ball around with him.
 
It says download date 12/11/2014 and I come home and it's still not downloadable. I was hoping to have to downloaded today so that I could play it tomorrow. Disappointing.
 
Quite a few are complaining about that, the game isn't released until tomorrow though? It should be available to download at midnight unless I'm wrong and it's a current Sony error.

Mine came this morning, just had two games, interesting.
 
Zavvi despatched mine yesterday so I hope it arrived today. Not sure what delivery is like but they were quick to despatch it considering I only ordered it while having my morning shit yesterday.
 


Highlights of a game I just played against Bayern. Trying out Share Factory for the first time, neat little program. Only the third game I've played. I started my first two on professional but felt it needed a step up so tried Top Player. Really need to get used to the game again which isn't easy when coming off of two months on Fifa which feels and players so differently.

At the 4 min mark, the way Ronaldo touched the ball and shot was so authentic looking.

Have you pre ordered on the PS3 ever? The pes 2015 download (not yet available) on my download list has a "broken icon". Is this normal because the download isn't activated yet or is this an error?

U better wait until tomorrow when I get mine Amol! :mad: ;)
You're getting it on the ps4. I deserve to get it earlier!

Yeah that's my favorite part of the video. I think that's something Pro has had over Fifa for so long now. I'm getting dominated by Bayern for most of the game, it's not even a goal but that moment has me watching the replay over and over because it felt so realistic. Ronaldo plays like Ronaldo, the individuality on some of the players is awesome.

It shouldn't be available until midnight tonight and people are also having the same issue on PS4. However they're also noting that it said it'd be available on the 12th which is today. Personally I think they made a mistake and it'll be available tonight at midnight for you rather than it being a current Sony error.

Oh yeah I know it's the same for PS3 and ps4 in terms of release. I just wanted to make sure that cracked symbol wasn't a sign of something being wrong.
 
Got it for PS4 today. I like the gameplay, fluid and tactical, graphics look beyond awful though. Maybe it is going to download some patch to improve it but it looks like a PS3 game at best. Playing at OT during the night is shocking.
 
Just borrow your bros man! And conveniently forget to return it! ;)
Heh, I will buy the ps4 when it's longer into its a life and has a big library of games. Till then I'll note down all the games on in that interest me, like a little saddo.

On a somewhat positive note, after the game still showing up as a to be released title despite it being well past midnight here, it's now not accessible. I'm taking that as a positive.
 
Seen screens of a very bad bug. Apparently, when simulating games it doesn't take your match length into consideration. Someone tested by simulating an entire Master League season with 30 minute halves, and ended up with teams on a goal difference of 200+. Negredo was top scorer with 66 goals :lol:

To be fair, as silly as that bug is, it's pretty irrelevant. I expect some proper bugs in the future.
 
You would be happy to play Master League with that happening?

Isn't the point in buying a football game to play the matches? In which case there would be no issue? If your just goning to sim then your better off playing Football Manager?!

I should have explained better. The guy WAS playing matches and noticed ridiculously high score lines with the CPU fixtures. They simmed the rest of the season just to test it.

Yeah i got that bit that, was quoting two posts in one go really (Should of used Multi quote) but basically @amolbhatia100 saying its irrelevant, then you saying about being happy playing Master league with that bug. But if you didn't sim the matches, then the issue isn't really a problem. Unless of course the CPU matches are that high even when your not simming.

That is what indeed what I'm saying.

Most people will play shorter games so it won't be a problem. I played 10 minute games on the demo and they were relatively low scoring, so I'll be cranking it up to 20 minutes. I'll be very disappointed if it becomes a problem.

Yeah I agree with the low scoring games in the demo, I played on Superstar difficulty (Guessing this will be harder on the actual game) and most games were 1-0 to either team or 0-0 so needed longer matches. I enjoyed that difficulty, so will test kick off out first to see if its stayed the same or whether they have changed them, then like you make the matches longer when starting a master league. But if this is an issue even when not simming, then this will annoy me and take the fun out of the game, in which case a patch is needed ASAP!
 
Anyone pre ordered this on psn ? I'm still unable to downLoad the game. It's not accessible anymore. It's supposed to have released already.
 
The servers just went bloody live at 1am. I was watching The Apprentice in bed and decided to pop back on to check them out and try out myClub. I got my bonus 10000 coins and my Uefa Team Of The Year player, span and got Thiago Silva. Just trying to find a quick online game before I go to bed.

It's 9 am here on release date and the ps store still hasn't updated :lol:
 
This sounds so promising I am going to download it while playing AC. It all sounds very impressive! I have gotten bored of Fifa already tbh.
 
Sony people say it will be available by midnight, 24 hrs after official launch.
 
So I can't download it yet? What lunacy is this?
