PES 2015 and a Day One patch are available now, which includes a roster update, new kits, shoes and enhanced faces. Make sure you check out the launch trailer here and the full press release with all of the Day One patch details below.

KONAMI REVEALS PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 2015
FULL LIST OF CLUB AND NATIONAL LICENSES, DAY ONE UPDATE

World’s greatest club competitions bolster PES 2015 license rosters;
Day one update adds roster updates, new kits, shoes and enhanced faces

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. has revealed the full list of club and national licenses that will feature in the upcoming Pro Evolution Soccer®2015 (“PES 2015”) title – including second-tier teams for the first time and all Brazilian top-flight teams. The publisher also revealed the content of a comprehensive day one update file that adds key new elements to the game.

The cornerstone of PES 2015’s licensed content remains the world’s greatest club competitions - which are exclusive to the series. The game features dedicated modes featuring iconography and branding for Europe’s UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League competitions, while the South American Copa Libertadores returns alongside the new Copa Sudamericana tournament. Asia Champions League is featured once again, rounding off a stellar list of club competitions only available in PES. Each of these licenses represents club football at its highest level, perfectly synchronizing with PES 2015’s ‘The Pitch Is Ours’ mantra, where the game’s development has focused on ensuring the gameplay mimics the ebb and flow of real matches.

PES 2015 also introduces second-tier teams for the first time, with Spanish Liga Adelante represented in its entirety, as is the French Ligue 2. The team rosters have also been extended to English and Italian second-tier teams, albeit not in licensed form but with real players. These supplement the full Dutch Eredivisie, French Ligue 1, Spanish La Liga and Italian top-flight leagues, which are long-standing PES inclusions. The cream of European club sides are also licensed, and include pack star Mario Götze’s Bayern Munich; Portuguese giants FC Porto, Benfica and Sporting SP; and the likes of Anderlecht, Manchester United, Zenit St Petersberg, CSKA Moscow and Galatasaray.

The phenomenal growth of the South American leagues is also well represented, with KONAMI securing the full Argentine Primera Division and 21 Brazilian club teams with official kits.

KONAMI has also prepared a day one download for PES 2015, which will ensure that 93 new kits will appear authentically in the game, while eight (8) more licensed teams have been added including Sparta Praha, FK Partisan, and Maccabi Tel Aviv. Additionally, the Brazil league will have six of its teams (Santos, Internacional, Vasco da Gama, Vitoria, Criciuma, and Chapecoense) updated to include an additional 109 of the athlete’s real names. An additional digital download will be available in December that will add 11 of the athlete’s real names to the roster for Flamengo; the December update will also include yet more teams in other leagues and bolster the stadia roster for the current generation of gaming systems. The day one download will reflect all transfers and loans, and new boots from Puma and Nike will be added. Continuing KONAMI’s dedication to ensure the stars resemble and act like their real life counterparts, the day one update will include over 80 player feature updates as well.

PES 2015 is available now for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and the Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft for an SRP $59.99, and for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft for an SRP of $39.99. The PC (digital download version) will be available from November 13 for an SRP of $39.99, coinciding with the global Steam launch of the game.

I finally got a chance to play about 5 games tonight after work. I'm only on PC so I don't have a basis for comparison but in comparison to last years game and to FIFA 14 and FIFA 15 (Demo), I'm just loving the gameplay. Game ran smooth out of the gate but I've been able to bump up the quality of the graphics using settings and SweetFX.

I was so relieved that importing logos/kit images was still in and I think I'd trade any graphical stuff I'm missing from PS4/XboxOne for being able to have semi authentic teams and kits.

On to game play impressions so far.

First impression was overwhelmingly positive for me, it just has this feel that's hard to describe but it just feels right, passing moving around and shooting. I've definitely noticed different teams playing me different, Chelsea pressed me hard most of the game and Costa kept getting by my back line. What's great is that my goal keeper made some great saves to keep me in the game.

Last year anything from closer than just outside the box was a goal, it made playing defense very frustrating. This year my teammates help out on D and Goal keepers make good saves. I like how the saves are varied too, if a rocket comes in from just outside the box, more than likely the ball is getting punched away, not caught. Whereas a finesse flick in the box off a pass is more likely to be held onto.

Like everyone has said, more fouls would be nice but they're there and can be drawn if you're clever. I was able to draw a foul just outside the box after setting up the defender and making a quick cut. It definitely seems like the cpu can be too disciplined with their tackles and it would be nice to see certain players be more reckless. Not sure if ratings can fix this but I'm willing to tinker with it and see.

Fouls can definitely get called though so it's not like they're totally absent from the game. I got a straight red for a stupid slide tackle that I mistimed horribly late.

I'm looking forward to getting deeper into the game.

Last Night I played on Superstar and I am convinced now it is the level to play. I was able to get a draw versus Real Madrid, I was using FC Metz.

Best thing is that superstar isn't as cheap as it was before. I feel like if I play my very best game, don't make any mistakes, I have a chance to win.

Whats the AI variety like? as a primarily offline player Fifa has again disappointed immensely in this regard.

Probably end up getting it for PC, I know its the gimped version (ffs Konami) but only have my laptop ATM.

# 124 DBMcGee3 @ 11/14/14 08:58 AM

I should be receiving my copy in the mail today, but for those playing now, have you noticed any major differences and/or improvements from the demo?

AI variety is just so much better than in fifa ,it s not even close, really just try the demo and you ll sse how much real and barca play differently or athletico and juve.
from a gameplay stand point and AI pes is just 10 times better.

It's fantastic. Build-up play is the best I've ever seen in a soccer game. I actually enjoy more playing against the CPU than against my longtime PES friend this year.

Thats awesome to hear

Will be getting it on PC unfortunately which is a gimped version but mods should be able to smooth things out, from what I've read the PC version shares the same gameplay.

Its just so frustrating year in year out with FIFA with the lack of team identity and player individuality.

PES has always been strong in this regard so I am pretty excited to see what its like!

# 129 Altimus @ 11/14/14 12:36 PM

I am in love...

I'm still a little worried about Konami breaking the game with some weird patch but so far... oh man does it play well.

Graphically it sucks compared to FIFA (some faces look amazing though) but that's not why we play PES.

Gonna do as much editing as I can and then start a BAL and then a ML with a La Liga team probably.

I wanted to make sure I would go through so when they added 4 minutes of stoppage time I purposely wanted to waste time. I just held the ball in my own end and literally stood still and NO defenders even came to pressure me for a full 3 minutes. Finally they pressured me in the final minute of stoppage time. Konami should fix the sense of urgency logic in that regard. On another note, my pc version is now downloading. I hope it ain't as bad as alot of people are making it out to be.

I've also seen that, lol. A couple other things I've seen, though not as frustrating:

- Playing Become a Legend, an AI teammate got the ball, was NOWHERE NEAR an opposing player and just started doing crazy fast stepovers for what seemed like absolutely no reason, lol. I've seen that a few times.

- Again in BaL, I was covering the man I should have been, and the opposing team literally passed it around the D-line for almost an entire half. No penetration passes were made until I left my man alone. Weird.

# 131 kashik @ 11/14/14 09:39 PM

Had the goalkeeper throw the ball directly to me...twice in a row. First time I was caught off guard, with my player standing just off the box in front of the keeper. I hit a quick shot but it was right at him.

I positioned myself the same again, between the gk and a player he might possibly want to distribute to... Gk threw it right at me again! This time I tried to round him and get an easy goal. Admittedly I screwed that up too... But very weird to see this happen twice in a row.

# 132 Dos_Santos @ 11/14/14 11:40 PM

Messed with the demo and absolutely love the pace of the game (I am a soccer noob).

I play with one of my brothers and we love the online co op seasons in FIFA...I assume there is nothing like that in PES?

Thanks in advance.

# 133 Cavani161 @ 11/15/14 01:44 AM

I love this game. I traded in FIFA 15 for this game and I am pleased with what I have played.

As a soccer coach, I'm all about realism, and this is where PES comes in. Player ID is captured better than ever, as you'll notice the star players stick out, from the way they run, to how they play. Player ratings really do matter. Team ID is also in, you'll see the likes of Pirlo playing long balls to Llorente to play it off for Tevez. I watched Argentina decimate Mexico's defense, it was too much with Di Maria, Tevez, Messi and Aguero to deal with, handing them a 6-1 defeat. Messi & Aguero with their speed and dribbling, I watched them take on defenders 1 v 1, it was difficult to contain them. This is how it should be. If you have star defenders, they'll be a force in the back.

Speaking of defenders, the cpu AI defenders play smart, they're not brain dead. There is a challenge of having to work for your goals, you just can't spring past the entire team with the fastest player and expect to score.

The graphics aren't top notch, but it's something that doesn't even bother me because the game play is that good. The sound I do like in the game in terms of the crowd, whistling, horns blowing...I even saw two players collide into one another, but I also heard them yell on the field as they did. Oh, with headphones on now, in a game of AC Milan and Sassuolo, I'm hearing the players speak Italian on the field. Switching the commentary to Spanish (Argentina) makes the game much more exciting.

I'm looking forward to playing this game for a long time, and to have Konami just patch up some things people have come across. For those worried about the licenses, don't worry so much on it. Right now there is a workaround for it by editing the kits as two users on Youtube are making videos step by step of correcting the kits as best as possible. There are rumors going around that PS4 as far as I know may be able to use option files at a later date, which depends on Sony, then we can get the correct kits.

If you're a soccer nut, or just want a video game that best represents what you see on tv, you won't be disappointed with this game.

# 134 rckabillyRaider @ 11/15/14 01:55 AM

If only Sony would have allowed image importing and sharing of save data......

# 135 Walt Frazier @ 11/15/14 06:39 AM

I really like FIFA 15 for the EPL....stadiums, game style etc suits the premier league very well.

But I would like an alternative game for European football.....if I play the Italian / German / Spanish leagues, how authentic is the experience? People keep saying there are hardly any stadiums? I basically need to be 'immersed' so this is important to me. Playing every game in the same stadium would be a let down.

I know the EPL has no real teams or stadiums except Man U, but what about the other leagues?

Sometimes I wish there was a way to black out stats like that, so we don't have to obsess over them...

Stats are a reflection of the game. With high pass percentage there's rarely an errant pass. Few errant passes means less counter attacks, midfield battles, and uncertainty that you see in soccer. I understand they need to boost up passing ability because of the shorter time frame, because the AI would not get enough build ups or scoring chances otherwise, but they overdid it big time. The AI strings together way too many passes, and the only real way you can get a counter attack is through tackles. It's NOT realistic at all.

I can't believe I'm the only one seeing this, because it sticks out like a sore thumb. Maybe when that "new game aura" wears off you all will start to see it.

Edit: And I would have seen this with or without the stats. After playing a number of games it became painfully obvious that the AI's passing was too accurate. Then I starting looking at the percentages at the end of the game and noticed just how far off they were.

# 137 KG @ 11/15/14 09:17 AM

Here's my most recent game with Newells Old Boys in the Copa Lib vs AC Nacional

They were really aggressive with their pressure which led to some fouls, a few cards, and a ton of shots. I pretty much fought off their pressure and grinded out a draw.

I saw one team at the end of the game, cpu controlled with 60% pass completion. I do think that passes are too accurate, specially those long balls. I have been playing around with the difficulty and noticed more passing errors on some more than others.

The passing accuracy is a little high as I have rarely see the CPU pass below 80%, the lowest I have seen is 70%. However to say the only way to get counter attacks is through tackles is not true. Plenty times I have started counter attacks through mistime passes and I see the CPU over hit a lot of passes.

Edit:

Been playing a few more games in my Champions Leagues mode and every match I was able to hold the CPU to under 80% passing. I actually was able to hold Shalke to 67% in the first half as they were trying to play long balls to their wingers, they were eventually able to pass for 74% for the game.

# 140 buckeyezombie @ 11/15/14 04:25 PM

Seems like fluid formations makes the game a lot easier. I can score fairly easily.
