Ambitious technique for improvement and the graphics (still gave away) potential for revolution

PES 2014 - Pro Evolution Soccer - [PC] (computer game)

Customer Review

The new graphics and physics of PES 2014 are noticeable improvements, but now everything better?
Yes and no, light and shadow - as almost always at PES. Here are my main criticisms.

POSITIVE - What's new and what I like about it?
============================================
- The new physics engine allows for a versatile and very well-controlled physical exertion
- Enemies can be pushed or placed with targeted tackles out of balance now
- Tackles are now in a thousand variations possible because the physics engine responds very individual it
- Ball assumptions and tricks can be performed quite well now by combining the left and right stick
- Free kicks, corners, haircuts ... One type sighting be activated
- Steep passes and goal shots can be switched on as a new (visual) Help
- The entire game calls for better timing, but also provides better control in tight spaces
- Also "sticks" the ball is no longer so much on foot at dribbling and long sprints
- Quick throw-ins are now finally possible - the game often does not "cut" more
- The annoying repetitions after every "opportunity" that no longer exist
- Every goal is different - this strength of PES can also be found in 2014 and makes each match unique
- The adjustable in the tactical options running pattern are a nice strategic innovation
- The goalkeeper performance is partly amazingly well and chutes and / or charges are now carried out very quickly
- AI makes mainly by storm with good and often runs free prima
- Also in the defense the AI ​​adapts (unfortunately mostly) on that as no striker of the enemy alone to mischief

NEGATIVE - Why, despite all the positive points but two star deduction?
================================================== ======
- The new graphics engine for the PC gamers not in every respect a joy
- Although it provides smoother contours of the players and a strong expression in the repetitions ...
- ... But the faces appear rather artificial and doll-like as the major competitors
- In addition, the texture quality of the turf for the PC version is just too bad
- In addition, verpixeln some textures of players in the background at repetitions strong
- Next to the picture also has the flow of play to have technical defects, ...
- ... Because from time to dive more slow-downs in the game (which will also complained to the console version)
- I have above praised the generally decent goalkeeping, but it must be mentioned ...
- ... That the keeper eg are surprisingly often the right place penalties / fly and did not grab the ball anyway
- ... And the keeper let the short corner very often open; Goals from absurd angles are therefore not uncommon
- The (semi-automatic) switch between players in the defense is often unreliable and not as easy to handle as in PES 2013 ...
- ... And the through-connection of players in the targeted areas is hardly feasible on the PC (on the PS3, however, it works perfectly)
- Quite evil pushes me personally the partially strange Sprint behavior of the players on, I mean,
that sometimes two players apart running quite far in one direction and suddenly the haunting
Players seems to ignite a kind of invisible missile, where the ball carrier loses massively speed
- No idea if that's of Konami wanted it - it feels anyway unrealistic to this extent and annoying
- Are further shots / passes / flanks sometimes delayed too much, which is actually good control suffering in these moments
- The Champions League is unfortunately still a castrated version of once again having confusing menus, ...
- ... But at least (let's see if that raises the motivation) with possible team changes and a National Trainer Option
-. With regard to the atmosphere is the sound of the fans a little better than before, but will increase the volume level not the least bit,
when a gate looming; it only breaks out of them, if it has fallen - that feels unrealistic
- Unfortunately, the comment must be deplored, but this time really well justified again because ...
... Sometimes the syntax comes down to naming the player, but there is simply no name called
... And the emphasis on the name at the end of some sentences is totally inappropriate and has a wooden
- After prolonged play is I have noticed one more thing: the difficulty makes my feeling
when playing against the computer is little difference from; on the two highest grades you can with a little skill
certainly undergo sometimes from his own penalty area and score a goal ...
- ... Which is also due to the opposing central defense sleeping happy times and amazement watching

Conclusion:
====
The consequences of the new physics engine is regarded as altogether positive. The way how the body
may set up is definitely an innovation and makes the game more versatile. Graphically PES 2014 was over
drilled his predecessors, thereby partly a rather artificial look was created. In addition, the textures are
the lawn for the PC version rather underground. Unfortunately, the latest creation by Konami for me also
mentioned technical and playful defects that make the game seem unfinished and sometimes right
annoy. The flow of the game suffers thereby often leading to frustration. Even if all these problems as performance
Burglaries, strange Sprint / decelerating behavior, sleeping central defense and so do not show up permanently,
so the game will suffer if they manifest themselves. However, the game is also the miserable
converted to comment and to the gate rather monotonous / mute fans doing audio technically not much
betting. Overall, I prefer from 1-1.5 Star (s) in the overall standings for these technical shortcomings and playful.

That I finally whole two stars depart, also in mind that when it comes to Champions League (I mean here is
the offline mode), which is very popular with many regular players of PES (or was), has once again done little.
Although you can change nunden club and national team coach, but again there is no individual training,
Transfers (for my taste) for ages a rather boring affair in PES and construction
the menu was over PES 2013 further aggravated. Even the calendar is its inertia again to
Torment. But the presentation of the other game modes (speaking Champions League, Europa League etc.) While coming back
in the official design, but there is no before and after the game at the Flair trappings.

PS:
PES is also negative in spite of these criticisms still my football game of choice. With a few patches then
hopefully soon also with a reasonable for me overall in 4/5-star range.
