Konami details changes to PES 2015

Konami today outlined a lengthy list of changes that are being made to PES 2015 compared to previous editions of the popular football franchise.

PES 2015 is centred on the mantra ‘the pitch is ours.’,” Konami said in their press release. “Through the combined efforts of the Tokyo and Windsor-based PES Productions team, the heart-thumping and nail-biting moments of top-flight football have been perfectly recreated. PES 2015 sees a true return to core PES values of total control, super responsive controls and renowned gameplay, giving the user unrestricted control over how they play. Konami has completely reworked a raft of key elements to ensure every pass, shot or off-the-ball run is finely balanced to give maximum player satisfaction within PES 2015’s on-field action.”

The dev team has completely reworked in-game shooting and goal mechanics, tweaking passing and passing options, final passes and 1 on 1 situations.

Moreover, the PES ID system returns, meaning “teams will be set up to play as they do in real-life and their star players will work within this framework, but they will be instantly recognisable via their runs and playing styles,” Konami said. “The world’s greatest teams will not only move and find space like they would in real life, they will also defend or attack like them automatically.”

PES 2015 will feature a myClub “extensive Master League Online overhaul [that] allows players and managers to be added using accumulated GP or via micro-transactions within club dealings,” Konami continued. ” Agents now used to meet player requirement criteria, while unhappy players can upset the balance of a side to detrimental effect. This extends to offline play.”

PES 2015 will be released for Windows PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4 later in 2014.
