PES 2015, WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR

'unfinished' in their eyes so could anybody possibly see the game coming out a little later than usual as a bad thing? Probably not. Next lets touch on the all important subject of game play. Now i haven't had the honour of playing PES 2015 as yet ( hopefully i will soon ) so im going to mainly go by what reviewers and play testers have divulged since having a hands on go. Now, we heard that the early play tests weren't really anything to be excited about ( well what did we expect from early code? ) as there were still kinks that needed ironing out, one or two even went as far as saying it was very 2014-esque. On the flip side there were improvements that were apparent even from the off. Response times were better not perfect but better. WENBs' Asim Tanvir stated he was pleased that you could now "create a move from back to front without it being a similar experience to pulling your teeth out" an obvious and clear improvement then. Nico Di Maria said he felt the "fun" factor had returned during his playing experience compared to the cold and more robotic feel of PES 2014 ( my words not his ) Later on down the line came the second round of play tests and it was reported that there was further improvement but nothing major as yet. Moving on lets talk features. stadium editor ( or creator ) is back. this mode was sorely missed during last years instalment mainly due to the shortage of in game stadia. So, i suppose the questions you probably have regarding this mode are how many stadiums will we be able to build and how has it been expanded on since PES 2013? Next is the fantastic news that lower tier or second division leagues will feature this year. I don't know about you lot but to me this is massive especially for those who love a good in depth and realistic master league. For obvious reasons the teams themselves will not be licensed but every player will be official, ill take that. On top of the news about lower league teams came the bombshell that PES 2015 will feature licensed yes licensed managers. So now there will be official faces on the touchline barking out orders to the team another great touch in terms of realism but how will the mangers affect the teams directly? we'll have to wait and see. Helping to keep things up to speed will be regular stat updates which will reflect player performance etc. nice. All in all even with all the new additions that have been announced i guess what matters is the improvement in game play, after all game play is the foundation in which any good sports game should be built upon. Now we are up to speed so to speak we can look forward to Gamescom next week knowing which areas we would like expanded on, what improvements we hope to see / hear and all the news we have been told we can expect. So guys are we all looking forward to gamescom? what are you hoping to be revealed next week? as usual hit the forum let us know your thoughts.
