This is essentially Pro Evolution 2015: “Establishing Communications” Edition. I just hope you don’t plan to spend too much time battling friends online, because the game’s multiplayer service is simply atrocious. When you’re done with that you can dig into the interesting Become A Legend mode, which has you control a single player and unlike FIFA’s similar Be a Pro mode doesn’t feature friendly AI so infuriatingly dunderheaded that it could claim a starting position in the Man Utd defence. It’s as maddeningly addictive as ever, and combined with the inevitable edits and option files cooked up by the loyal Pro Evo community, it’ll keep you occupied for days. Luckily Master League is on hand to (somewhat) save the day. Master League is as simultaneously cumbersome and addictive as it ever was And you’ll doubtless enjoy sitting there for half an hour waiting to connect to a server. All power to you if you can be bothered to learn its various bizarre sub-systems and jargon. The tactics menus are a clunky mess, and the new M圜lub mode which apes FIFA’s Ultimate Team is like some kind of exercise in player-alienating impenetrability. Several club competitions such as the Asian and European Champions Leagues are licensed, so there is a tiny glimmer of FIFA’s glossy production values, but ugly menus and baffling design choices continue to hold the game back. Of course there’s the by now expected paucity of licensing options, which this year omits all but Manchester United from the Premier League, and does away with the German league apart from Schalke and Bayern Munich. It’s not perfect – passes tend to be pinged around more slowly and inaccurately than I’d like, and block tackling, while improved, can be frustratingly ineffective – but by and large this is an excellent engine that provides a million equally satisfying ways to score goals, from an Ibrahimovic 30-yarder into the top left corner to an intricate Arsenal-style passing move that tears through your opponents’ defence like a hot knife though butter.

In full flow, Pro Evo 2015 features some of the best video game football on offer.įinally harnessing the benefits of modern physics engines and clean, smooth animations, by combining them with responsive controls, it’s the first time for about five years that I haven’t been horribly disappointed by Pro Evo as a series. Dribbling is again all about momentum, speed and control, not about fancy tricks, and slaloming past a defence with Messi brings to mind the endless days I wasted with friends playing PES4 and PES5, destroying their defences with the lightning speed of Thierry Henry. Largely abandoning recent editions’ clunky skill moves and increasingly haphazard defending, this year’s incarnation feels like a definite attempt to capture the responsive, zippy counter-attacking football that the series captured so memorably in its heyday. Pro Evo 2015 is a beautiful recreation of the beautiful game. Let’s head down to the pitch, where Konami do their best work.

I know, I know, graphics and shiny (legible?) menus aren’t so important when your match engine is this terrific, but it would be nice if Konami looked like they gave the briefest toss about the PC experience.

It lacks the PS4 and Xbox One enhanced lighting system and other bells and whistles, and mixed with the series’ trademark terrible presentation, it combines to make Pro Evo 2015 look like a game from about six years ago. I’ll get this out of the way at the start, because when you get down to brass tacks the visuals are the least important part of the Pro Evo experience – this is not a good-looking port, and it’s clearly been knocked up half-heartedly while the developers concentrated their full attention on the next-gen versions of the game. Ibrahimovic has one of the game's better facial models, which range from impressive to monstrous and horrifying
