Update News
Konami Reveals Full Content List for PES 2015
El Segundo, CA; August 13,
in the year of our Lord 2014 – Konami Digital
Entertainment, Inc. announced new details for PES 2015.
Previously announcing its intent to elevate the game’s on-field
realism to all new levels, Konami has confirmed PES 2015 will
offer both online and offline gameplay.
‘The pitch is ours’ is the ethos that dominates PES 2015.
Through the combined efforts of the Tokyo and Windsor-based PES
Productions Team, the aim has been to recreate the drama and
tension associated with a vital match. PES 2015 marks a
concerted return to core PES values of total control, utterly
responsive controls and unrestricted gameplay, where users have
complete control over how they play. Every pass, shot or run is
finely balanced to give maximum player satisfaction within PES
2015’s on-field action.
By looking at key facets of modern soccer, the PES Productions
Team has completely 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 unlimited 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. Close control also steps up the
realism, with the user controls the positioning of a player, but
with greater options of how to dribble into space or beat a
marker.
Key On-Field Advances:
Incredible Response Times: Lightning fast controls allow users
to instinctively react to every movement when the ball is in
play
On The Ball Abilities: Take on defenders using each player’s
authentic dribbling skills, as opposed to relying on ‘trick’
moves. New skills include close control, responsive sprint and
incorporating a much wider range of pace - from walking to
sprinting
Case for Defense: Users have complete control over when to close
down, tackle or hold up play. Successful defending is based
entirely on the decisions the user makes
New Generation Highlights
Behavioral Patterns: PES 2015 now boasts a huge array of players
that both look and play like their real-life counterparts.
KONAMI has faithfully 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. Players’ running and playing are authentic and they
react emotionally as appropriate to fouls, goals or referee
decisions – with their frame of mind actually affecting how they
play
Poetry in Motion: The individuality of players is further
enhanced with seamless animations. No sacrifice to animation has
been made in the pursuit of fast response, yet the movements
flow effortlessly calculated in real-time and dependent on the
player’s position in relation to the ball and its speed.
Additionally, player models are also carefully enhanced
Bring the Noise: PES 2015 mirrors the atmosphere of a premier
match. The crowd animations have been hugely enhanced, and the
rhythm of a match is met with context-sensitive crowd effects
and movements.
Let There Be Light: All in-game elements from players to crowd
and stadium now benefit from a single source of lighting that
naturally brings the game to life
PES ID Advances:
PES ID: Teams are designed to play as they do in real-life. Star
players will work within this framework, and will be instantly
recognizable via their runs and playing styles. Moreover, the
world’s greatest teams will move, attack and defend with
authenticity
Realistic Abilities: While the world’s greatest players are
capable of moments of incredible skill, PES 2015 focuses on
their abilities as players and not their flicks and tricks.
Beating an opposing player during an attacking play will require
using pace and close control. Only the most technical users will
get away with rainbow flicks. And, even then, it may not work
every time
All-New Modes:
myClub: Demanded by series fans, an extensive 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. Furthermore, Team Sprit plays a key role, as
player/management and player/team dynamics affect a team’s
performance
Live Updates: Weekly DLC updates will constantly update
transfers and team line-ups across the English, French, Italian,
Spanish and Brazilian leagues. Player data is also updated based
on current performances every week, so if a player is on a
goal-scoring streak, his stats will be boosted accordingly.
Updates will be applied to online modes and will be optional
within single-player mode
Adaptable Match Environments: A good manager knows how to give
his side every advantage. As managers, players can request the
grass be left long to slow down short play, or wet to suit a
passing style. Players can tailor any part of their stadiums to
suit their needs
Accurate Player Stats: After working with key community sites
across the globe, the player parameter system for PES has been
completely rebuilt with the most realistic player stats database
Second Divisions Added: PES 2015 vastly expands scouting
databases as it now features the second tier leagues from
England, Spain, Italy and France for the first time in the
series
Role Control: Role Control allows three players to divide the
defensive, midfield and attacking roles between them for more
structured multiplayer action. This new mode means players
govern their selected area and adds a new cooperative element to
the game
Real Managers: For the first time, real managers will be
featured in PES 2015 across a number of European and Latin
American teams
New In-Game Currency: The GP system has been reintegrated. Earn
GP within the new myClub mode and through unlocked in-game
achievements
Unlimited Edit Modes: 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. Also, to compliment the return of Stadium Editor,
new realistic licensed stadiums have been added
Presentation Overhaul: The menu system will be simpler and more
effective. PES 2015 will also remember your preferred modes for
quicker access
Online Modes:
QuickMatch: Simpler ranking match-ups have been added to speed
up online games
Online Divisions: Accrue points in online matches across a
season to aim for a promotion or face demotion
Dedicated 11v11 Lobbies: Makes large-scale multi-player games
more fluid and easy to set up
Cheat Measures: A new courtesy system has been introduced to
reduce online cheating
Additional Improvements:
Master League: Revised structure for player growth, transfers,
managers and auto-match settings. New cut-scenes and National
Super Cups implemented have also been added
Become A Legend: Training modes have been enhanced, and specific
match simulations, new transfer and recruitment systems,
including a second tier league, have been added
Weather: Rain has been implemented
Licensed Soundtrack: Featuring Cold War Kids, Calvin Harris,
Imagine Dragons and Avicii
