Simulation fans will probably have a problem with the arcade-like feel. It's hard to imagine those who do enjoy soccer video games not having some fun with PES 2015. The passing could be a little more intuitive as well, but that could also be conquered with more practice. *Tip - Take advantage of the training mode to get better acquainted with the different passing techniques. Sure, there were a few rather over-the-top physical animations to collisions-then again we are talking about soccer-but nothing that made things too uncomfortable. To be totally honest, this was the only major issue with the gameplay. There were times when I took a guy down Street-Fighter style, and I was sure I'd get my wrist slapped, but no such reprimand came. When I really started to pay attention, the sim fan in me took minor exception to this aspect of the gameplay. Most importantly, I was satisfied with the way the ball bounced and caromed off of the players, the ground and the post.Īll that said, while I was having a ball racing up and down the pitch, angling crosses, unleashing through balls and firing shots on goal, I almost didn't notice how infrequent red and yellow cards happened. I dissected several replays to see if I saw body pass through, and I didn't catch any. The action is free flowing, dynamic at times and the collision-detection issues I noticed in the demo were cleaned up in a major way.

The first word that pops into my head when I think about my gameplay experience with PES 2015 is 'fun.' While the models don't necessarily deliver as well as we'd like, the surroundings still create a visually pleasing gaming experience. There isn't as much variety in the player models as Sony's masterpiece sports, but the movements and the sound makes the virtual fans come alive. From the symphony of animations, to the slight rumble implemented to simulate sound vibrations, the PES 2015 crowd is close to the level of MLB 14 The Show's.

Most excellent of the three has to be the crowd. There is however cause for praise when it comes to the stadiums, lighting and crowd. That's not horrible, but it's worth noting the disparity. If those games are the gold standard of visuals in a sports game, then PES 2015 is silver. It's not grossly behind the curve, but the faces of non-stars, kits and grass are a notch below games like FIFA 15, EA Sports UFC and NBA 2K15.

On the flip side, the action on the pitch doesn't look quite as shiny. At these moments, you may say to yourself, this is a next-generation soccer game.
