PES 2015 Available Now, Day One Patch Details - Post Your Impressions Here

[steveeee]

it makes me wonder if buckeyezombie is even playing the correct game.

the shooting in this game is awesome... I have not felt floaty shots once and if anything they may feel over powered and I love it.. the long range shooting is back in PES! I personally think the shooting is perfect in this game

if anyone thinks shots are floaty in PES 15 they are for sure playing the wrong game.. No other explanation imo

pes a step down in fifa in what way? shooting and gameplay is not one of them for me. it's a step up

also, if you think shooting is to accurate why don't you try playing on manual then? I play on basic shooting at the moment and I miss many chances I should be scoring with myClub players with lower attributes.

Even if you do sprint, you're gonna tire your player out quickly, and then you are in deep trouble when you begin having players on the field with no gas in the tank. FIFA 15 doesn't even have player/team ID. What differentiates the star players in FIFA 15 from one another?

That's what bugs me about the other game. IMO licenses are meaningless if the players/clubs don't play like themselves.

I might check it out if I ever find it for like $10-$20. I only played the demo and wasn't really impressed with the clunky player movement, presentation and just lack of polish. Also the goals didn't feel as satisfying as FIFA. Opponent AI is pretty good though, FIFA can learn a thing or two from that.


I'm sure the final version is somewhat better but ehhh..

Man, the difference of opinion is so vast around here today.

I'd say the goals I score in PES are way more rewarding than FIFA. Every goal in FIFA seems the same to me. PES tons of variety.

I like and dislike both games for various reasons, but when it comes to on the pitch gameplay and goal variety/build up, there's no comparison. PES is king. Most fifa goals are run down the wing, cross it in, goal off of a header or volley. In PES, I can pass it around the top of the box until I break the defense down and slip a little through ball in for a chance on goal. And you can also do the run the wing, cross and score as well. More variety.

After being a PES fan back in the day, I switched to FIFA about a decade ago and lost all faith in PES last gen. But PES 2015 is really, really good.

In terms of realistic football, PES's gameplay blows FIFA out of the water. It's no contest, and I can't imagine going back to FIFA this year. If I hadn't gotten the digital version, I'd sell my version of FIFA.

There are some issues that I'm really hoping they patch though. As many have said, the CPU doesn't foul. I'm also a little concerned with the difficulty level, as it seems a tad easy. A bigger problem for me is the CPU AI in general lacks aggression, both in attack and defense.

In attack, too often the CPU plays a possession game when it should play with greater urgency, and too often it'll opt for a conservative pass for no real reason. And there are moments in the game where it feels like you're playing a game of keep-away rather than a competitive football match. It's an infrequent issue but it's really annoying.

PES also has some defensive AI issues that FIFA has, as there are times backline defenders will not properly track runs or mark attackers, leading to easy chances and wide open players. Again infrequent, but an issue.

Overall, the negatives are pretty minor, at least in terms of gameplay. In non-gameplay areas, this game is years behind FIFA, and from a technical and visual standpoint, the game hardly feels next gen. But the football, it's pretty sweet.

I already have FIFA, is PES single player gameplay much more evolved and fun than FIFA. Should I get it.
