Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 - PS3

Well, first of all, i want to say that i bought the game a few weeks ago, i didn't have access to the game when it was released, it seems the patches and the updates have fixed most of the problems that plagued the release version.I have played almost every iteration of this title since its release for the PSOne back in 1995/1996, name it "Goal Storm", "International Superstar Soccer - Pro Revolution", "ESPN MLS GameNight", "World Soccer Winning Eleven", "Pro Evolution Soccer" in the different platforms.This year iteration is totally different than last year's PES 2013, in fact, it feels like a different game; PES 2014 is more realistic/simulation (this time is harder to score 5 or 6 goals) than "arcadey"; you need to pass the ball carefully, press the direction pad in the intended direction and you also need to be careful when you receive the ball, aka control the ball; the FOX engine is a great addition and the game looks better than ever, you have a wide selection of shoes and balls (all are licensed); the players look great, Ronaldo looks and moves like his real counterpart, and the same thing can be said about others like Messi, Rooney, Bale, Xavi, Pique, Ramos, etc.The last update named "World Challenge" added a nice selection of shoes, the World Cup official ball, also improved some of the players faces, now Falcao looks like Falcao, James Rodriguez like James Rodriguez, etc, Brazil National Team is fully licensed, updated team rosters and uniforms, etc.In spite of the bad press that this game has received, it plays really smooth and fluent, the players move like real players and the animations are amazing; specially during the fouls, free kicks, corner kicks, celebrations, etc; i also want to highlight the ball physics, it is very realistic.There is a nice and wide Edit Mode where you can create your own teams and players, or edit the uniforms and names of the teams that are not licensed.There are enough gameplay modes to keep you busy and entertained, like UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores, etc.Some leagues are fully licensed now, like the Argentinian, Dutch, Chilenian, etc; commentary in different languages: English (British), French, Portuguese (Brazil), Castellano (Mexico, Chile, Argentina), i want to highlight the Argentinian commentary by Mariano Closs and Fernando Niembro, probably the best in Fox Soccer Latinoamerica, it adds a plus factor to the experience and it's so close to the real thing.When it comes to gameplay, it seems the goalies can save long distance shots better than close range shots; some times it looks like the defenders run faster than the strikers, so you will have to rely on "Tiki-Taka", accurate moving and passing/ball possession, FC Barcelona & Spain National Team style; there are plenty of strategies and also a Training mode where you can master the game basics.Like i said before, i have played the game for a few weeks and i have found hard to score a "header", the soundtrack is nice, cool and the Menus are easy to navigate, probably very simple.I haven't played my first online match yet so i really can not review it; i would recommend this game to everyone, even to people who don't like, enjoy soccer games, it is very fun and entertaining and you will not go wrong with this one; buy it.

Super

Excellent

The only visible flaw in this game is with the online play. Keypads seem to be unresponsive during online gameplay but I believe the developers will fix that soon with an update. Other than that, it is the most realistic soccer game out there. The graphics is a little blurry but that is understandable considering the newly designed fox engine is more advanced than the ps3. Player movement is very realistic. If you want a soccer game which is not challenging and easy to play then PES2014 is not for you. You should probably buy FIFA2014. But if you are a hardcore soccer fan, hardcore gamer and you want a challenging game, PES2014 is for you. Alot of things have changed. You will have to learn alot of new things in 2014. Patience is the key in this game as you will realize that most 2013 game moves you learn't won't work in the 2014. Make the training mode your friend and you will soon realize that you are improving and enjoying the game more.

excellent game of soccer, really konami has been working hard to improve their soccer game engine and worked hard to meet the needs of new consumers that are more demanding, no doubt this game is a great job by konami, congratulations, I loved the game. the gameplay, new features, requiring commands to make plays and more game tools. It's a game that I love.

its really diferent from the older vercions but different is not bad, mariano closs and fernando niembro are great and give a little extra to the game, you will be frustraded but it wll probide hundreds if hours of fun, intenet is not laggy at all and game runs smoothly, i read a lot of bad reviews but my advise is that if you REALLY love futbol then this game will be perfcet, mi friands hate it i love it

With the current patches and upgrades, PES 2014 easily beats its rival Fifa.Feeling like you're in total control of the team, without the scripted feel of Fifa, makes for a better game.The controls take a while to get used to and the learning curve is somewhat steep. But once you master the controls, you'll be playing the best soccer (football) games you've ever played.
