Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 Game PC

PES 2014 is definitely an odd beast, an unusual hybrid of their straightforward arcade roots along with the ever-growing complexity from the FIFA series. In some respects, this complexity is warranted; never carries a PES game looked quite as realistic as 2014 does. And with the most part, it plays well too. But that realism comes at a price. For the many flashy animations and physics tweaks which are added, a number of what makes a game of PES so direct so much fun is lost. This is very much a clear case of two steps forward, a pace back.

That much will clear whenever you start passing the ball around. Where PES is definitely about snappy passing and also a feeling of direct control of players, 2014 adopts some from the automated nature of FIFA, but minus the technical prowess to back it up. A lot of it is to some lousy AI implementation, so that passes often don't proceed to the player you desire, considering that the game seemingly thinks it knows superior to you. Then there's incorporating sloppy first touches, which theoretically give you a more realistic representation of how players perform in person, but causes frustration when that stands between you plus a world-class strike is often a well-placed pass.

Knocking down some from the assist settings allows you alleviate the messy AI somewhat, if you are being particularly dextrous, you are able to control players off of the ball to. But the inconsistent AI rears its ugly head again if you are trying to create goals, with players making runs around the pitch in every one of the wrong places, or failing to chase around the ball when you require them too. These frustrating moments aren't frequent enough to ruin the feeling entirely, however when you find yourself yearning for an additional pair bash eventually year's game, clearly something moved awry.

When it lets you do all bond, though, PES 2014 generally is a wonderful thing. Zipping around the right wing to file for a well-placed cross, or ducking with the midfield using a killer through ball, is nicely fast-paced and, sometimes, edge-of-your-seat thrilling. Finishing those manoeuvres remains as tight as it ever was, using a real sense of control because you expertly blast an attempt past the keeper and in to the top corner with the net. The excellent jockeying and tactical positioning in defence, the dribbling system, plus the shot modifiers all generate a welcome return, too, with improved player-contact animations seeing players fight for that ball--and lose it--in a more compelling way than before.

Tying the on-pitch action together will be the much-lauded Fox engine, and this is powering the upcoming Metal Gear Solid V. PES 2014 certainly looks a little sharper than previous PES games, try not to expect a massive graphical overhaul here. Instead, the main objective is on player emotions, with new facial animations contributing to some uncanny representations of joy, despair, and frustration as keepers are beaten, posts are hit, and offsides render a once-beautiful goal meaningless. Sadly, the frame rate takes an amazing hit through these moments, together with during match buildup and replays, which can be incredibly jarring resistant to the otherwise smooth use the pitch.


There's another emotionally charged feature in PES 2014 called Heart, which tracks and displays players' emotional states and changes their performance determined by elements like the number of shots they create on target or just how much the crowd becomes behind the group. So, by way of example, for anyone who is playing away, the possible lack of a home crowd to cheer they on means they perform worse than in your own home. Unfortunately, it's difficult to tell the main difference between an emotionally uplifted team then one that's down from the dumps, making Heart a strong idea, although not an essential mechanic.

Elsewhere, PES 2014 remains way behind FIFA when it comes to online and offline modes, and also its overall presentation. Many on the modes remain unchanged from this past year, including officially licensed tournaments for example the UEFA Champions League and South American Copa Libertadores tournaments. The new addition is League mode, even though it too remains largely unchanged on the version in 2012. (It was not a part of PES 13.) Master League Online and Become a Legend do see some tweaks, for example the ability to select three different playable leagues in MLO, each that has a different attacking and defending style, and also the option to play being a keeper in Become a Legend and bark orders your team from afar.

The objective in MLO has switched from seeking to create a profit to paying attention to building the top team using a fixed budget. Other tweaks include the power to manage national and international squads inside the Master League, together with use players created in Become a Legend in online matches. None of those tweaks make these dated modes much more compelling, plus they absolutely pale in comparison to the likes of FIFA's huge online leagues, EA Sports Football Club, and Ultimate Team. In a feature that's been a long time coming, you are able to at least now play entirely 11-vs.-11 matches online.
