The patches are pretty much what make it better, especially when you can make the graphics better, like lighting and turf much more crisp. Also adding things like new camera angles, more faces for players, boots, scoreboards, perfectly detailed kits, tattoos, ad-boards, and the list just goes on. That is about it, the gameplay is the same as the console but all the little things the patch community add to the game add up. The console version is fine but once you get a taste of the PC community patches it is very hard to go back to playing an un-modded PES game.
