After an extensive rebuilding process, PES 2015 is a series back to its best. It embraces its PS2-era roots while offering almost everything you could want from a modern football simulation. The marketing blurb isn’t just braggadocio on Konami’s part; the pitch really is theirs.

This series is back, no doubt. I feel like dirt for caring so much about league licensing and broadcast presentation when the action PES 2015 offers is this intelligent and well-balanced.

FIFA and PES seem to have swapped shirts, with neither catering to the original audience they once set out to attract.

The answer, then: FIFA or PES? you're looking for something fast-paced, exciting and guaranteed to give you goals, then FIFA is for you. If you're looking to delve more deeply into passing, movement and working out how to break teams down, plump for PES.

Für mich ist die Sache eindeutig: Der Thron für das beste Fußballspiel des Jahres geht an Konami, denn PES 2015 verweist FIFA 15 im Gesamtbild ziemlich deutlich in seine Schranken. Und das sah erst gar nicht danach aus, umso erfreulicher ist es, dass...
Michael Graf: Wer schon immer neidisch auf FIFAs Ultimate-Team-Kartensammelei geschielt hat, darf den myClub-Modus feiern - für mich ist er nur eine Dreingabe, nett, ja, aber lange spielen werde ich ihn nicht. Die Stärke von PES 2015 liegt für mich im...
