Class football simulation - with unnecessary defects

I play PES since the first part on the PS2. The series had after the high at the beginning of the millennium - 5 and 6 and the summit with PES - degraded somewhat. But in recent years, PES has again become a real alternative to EA Sports. Especially for players who put a little more emphasis on depth and not let this deter missing licenses. But what is already missing licenses. If you compare with the very early title of the series, there is the latest PES 2015 almost unbelievable number of original names and teams. But today is one of the comparison to FIFA. And spend a lot of money to avoid more comprehensive licenses from Konami.

One could write a lot of prose about the current game, but would surely lose in fanaticism. If you just want to hear an opinion of times for which the classical Pro and Contra are grippy. So here we go (my review refers to Two months game time):

Pro:

Advantage in game depth of Konami again expanded (compared, however, with FIFA demo!)

At least Offline prevails game assets and assets not sprint. "Feel" The games simply good. It's hard to describe here. And it also depends very much on what one is for a player. I use playing football rather little special functions and try to defeat the enemy on good moves. PES 2015 is the very opposite.

Over the past two months with me super interesting encounters have shown with a high fun factor.

The menu adapts as its predecessor back on the favorite team. In addition, mode-favorites can be placed on the home page.

The myClub mode is a really good innovation within the series. It will be up against teams of other players, but has the choice of whether these teams are controlled by the AI ​​or if you want to play directly against a human opponent. The team, in turn, can not be improved by direct transfers. You invest the acquired about games points in agents who then sign a player. This obligation has been implemented as a lottery wheel, where you even though suppressed stop, but has no direct influence on the result. Although this is sometimes annoying when the expensive items go into a low card. But it also makes the attraction of this game mode. You have to make from the available material something. This one is more concerned with the players and the coaching tactics. Is permanently motivating than relatively quickly buy up that Messi's football world. Me, this mode captures now already two months.

The proven Champions League is back at the start. This is the classic offline mode, which I expect in each PES for me. This spoonful of sugar I have saved for later.

Champions League with most original team. Unfortunately no BVB, but the one builds quite quickly together themselves. Plus Europa League and Tournaments from other continents.

Very good editing. Missing a one player, one often finds this already with all values ​​in video portals. The values ​​are entered much faster than its predecessor. So I was able to quickly create a Gündogan or Aubameyang. Built team can also back up and thus protect it from updates from Konami. After the first patch of Konami my favorite team was gone. Data Import. Team back. Konami also has an import for crest of PES implemented in 2014. So I was able to import in 2014 by Optionfile rehearsed in PES logos of English and German league and assign the team again. Beautiful thing.

Conclusion to the Pros: Who like once Adi Preißler thinks that "important place is encouraging", with PES 2015 makes no mistake.

Cons:

Although the introduction of micro-payments corresponds to a trend, but is only considered negative in my view easy. This leads, for example. Means that one in case of higher ambitions has its limits in myClub mode. Who the game points bought en masse, will show up quite early with teams that consist of nothing but Messi and Ibrahimovic. I find that this is simply unsportsmanlike. The only real advantage lies with Konami.

Over a two-month season in PES 2015 have noticed more and more to me that Konami AI promotes its on trafficking. The same attack a defender goes through during KI, my team there right kick. In addition, my players conspicuously often fall in clashes with the AI, while the AI ​​is as a tower of strength. And the latest from professional have my striker a curious conclusion weakness. Am sure that the same controller movement leads me in the lower levels to the gate. This sometimes takes me feel able to influence anything at all. Or you have to combine the ball down to the goal line. Then, the engine can no longer prevent the gate. Here this PES has not even necessary. Because the AI ​​plays much better and less predictable than in the predecessor.

I'm not the type of player who is really focused on graphics and other errors. But if the following occurs, Konami should even question the rule knowledge of programmers: in an incredibly tight game I'm going with the score at 3: 3 cleared two minutes before the end of the game by the AI ​​in the penalty area. Not that I want to sell the natural lack signaled a penalty here as a bug. The game continues. Ball again in the corner. Because of me challenge players is subsequently punished with a yellow card. On the penalty, I'm still waiting today.

The most serious, in my view lack of KI: Even with a residue allows the AI ​​to sleep quasi. I lead, play the ball to my defensive line with some distance to the KI-striker. My defender I'll just stand with ball and wait. The gegenerische players near prances around only. In the low levels so I can wait for the end of the game and won. That could explain even with low level you now. But the same thing happened each for three minutes of the game even on Superstar! After three minutes, the AI ​​attacked again. I play then one or two passes back to a freer defender, I have three minutes. Surely I have to exploit the. But the level is "Superstar". Where is the problem Konami, no such thing intercept?

Slightly quieter criticism I would like to attach to the Promised up for a menu aspect: It looks sometimes a bit like the stadium magazine of FC buyers. Their stadium omnipresent. For this purpose an eponymous hero, I feel as a figure of fun and really want to remove from the menu. But so far the personalization does not go unfortunately. In this context, please also classify my four star rating: The game must be quite well that you can also see across it.

The bottom line, the game is far each of the 50 EUR value that I paid for it at the beginning. Error has every product. Everyone must look for yourself whether the still fits or not.
