PES 2014

PES 2014, also referred to by its full title Pro Evolution Soccer, is a soccer simulation game that puts you in the heart of the action on the pitch and is the main competitor to the FIFA series of video games. Pro Evolution Soccer is a game that has been around for several years and is currently the second most popular soccer simulator. In the 2014 edition, you will find a variety of improvements that make the game more attractive and more enjoyable to play overall.

While the controls haven't changed much, the game engine did and brings you a more realistic style of play. TrueBall Tech is a new feature that gives you much more sensitive ball handling. Your player character now has the ability to control the ball or stop through 360 degrees. The ball physics have been refined to be more life-like, which makes it a little bit harder to score or make accurate passes to your teammates.

The developers of PES 2014 have made a lot of effort to make all the action happening on the playing field more true to life. You're sure to notice this when you try to tackle a player from the rival team, as the game now takes into account various characteristics, such as the weight of each player, to determine how successful the move will be. The AI is more powerful and your opponents will actually work together as a team. Despite these welcome changes, the game still lags behind when it comes to weather, as there is no rain during matches, a feature found in most other soccer simulators.
