Major features outlined for PES 2015

Konami Digital Entertainment has announced new details for PES 2015, the first in the football franchise to appear on the new generation of consoles.

The PES Productions Team has reportedly reworked how the game performs key maneuvers. The shooting and goal-keeping mechanics benefit from a new system that allows precise aim and control over a shot’s power and also various shot styles. Similarly, the goalkeeper’s intuitively close angles are capable of reacting to any shot in a number of ways. Passing and goal scoring have also been expanded, allowing for little knock-ons and powerful daisy-cutter passes that use new physics routines to ensure the ball realistically behaves.

New fast controls allow users to instinctively react to every movement when the ball is in play. New skills include close control, responsive sprint and incorporating a much wider range of pace.

PES 2015 has recreated over 1,000 players with authentic animations and playing styles across its extensive player roster. Teams automatically adopt their real-life game plan, whether it is counter-attacking, out wide playing or defending. The crowd animations have been enhanced, and the rhythm of a match is met with context-sensitive crowd effects and movements. All in-game elements from players to crowd and stadium now benefit from a single source of lighting. Rain has also been implemented again.

A Master League Online overhaul allows players and managers to be added using accumulated GP points or via micro-transactions within club dealings. Additionally, agents are now used to meet player requirement criteria, while unhappy players can be detrimental to a team. Weekly DLC updates will constantly update transfers and team line-ups across the English, French, Italian, Spanish and Brazilian leagues. For the first time, real managers will be featured in PES 2015 across a number of European and Latin American teams.

Stadium editor is back. Players will build their home pitch by choosing pitch patterns, side line colors, seat colors and goal net design. Other edit options include Manager Editor, new player editing options, and base copies for all players.

PES 2015 is scheduled for release in the Americas for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on November 11, 2014.
