It doesn’t take long before you’re completely in awe of the intricate and incredibly diverse animations Konami has implemented this time around, elevating the game from a simple annual update to something much, much more. PES 2015′s visuals continue to impress once the players take the pitch, too. The result is the most visually realistic game in the history of the series, and easily outshine’s FIFA 15′s dated and jagged interpretations. Most players are immediately recognizable, and while there are still some awkward exceptions even players from lesser known clubs are afforded equal attention. It’s an unfortunate compromise, and one that makes FIFA look a whole lot more credible, but if you look past the unfamiliar crests and club names the players are all represented in full, complete with their regularly assigned shirt numbers, stats, and some impressively realistic visuals.Įvery year both PES and FIFA claim to have more realistic players models than ever before, but PES 2015 boasts some truly outstanding representations. That means that many iconic clubs and leagues like Liverpool and the English Premier League have been renamed to avoid copyright infringement, resulting in an initially foreign selection of teams. Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 is embarrassingly bare in the licenses department, a problem that has plagued the series for quite some time.

Many believe Konami’s series has lost its way, casting aside what made it special in an effort to be more like FIFA with disappointing results.

The two have battled for supremacy for years, but few would argue that recent iterations of PES have paled in comparison to FIFA’s expansive and engrossing soccer experience. Soccer’s growing popularity worldwide has ignited the longstanding rivalry between EA’s FIFA and Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer franchises.
