Many soccer fans will stick with EA's FIFA series as it offers a lot of fun and a lot of teams. For a more technically precise soccer (futbol) game, Konami offers its Pro Evolution Soccer, which now runs on Kojima's Fox Engine. This will be Konami's first dip into next generation soccer as the last effort on the previous generation consoles was quite a leap with the inclusion of the English Premier League. Now, PES 2015 looks to recreate the drama and tension that comes with vital matches.
Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. today announced that the greatest Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 players from around the globe will gather at UEFA Festival as the grand final of the PES World Finals is held mere hours before the UEFA Champions League Final on June 6th.
Konami:
The free Data Pack 4 will be released globally on March 12. This update includes the latest rosters across all modes in the game, improves a number of player likenesses, adds new stadia and kits, and implements the latest boots and balls from a number of key suppliers.
very generous pack, cheers konami, pretty much changed all the boots, and added some nice new football styles
FINALLY! I'm pretty much done with MyClub this year, 700 plus ranking D3 (not to brag=p). And I've been waiting for a proper update so that I can start my ML!
Roster update, new stadium, boots, balls and visual upgrades incoming.
FOOTBALL
A little history on the word SOCCER, so you can stop blaming Americans for its use. We didn't make it up, we adopted it from somewhere else.
The word "soccer" is actually British. It derives from the game's proper name, association football, with the "soc" bit taken from the word "association"
"19th century, football and rugby were both commonly known as football, the former dubbed "association football" and the latter "rugby football". But both phrases are a bit of a mouthful, however, so they were popularly shortened to "soccer" and "rugger" to keep things simple."
Americans simply adopted it to keep the confusion between it and American football (born in 1869) down. In fact, it wasn't until the 1980's that the British started to dissociate themselves from the word. But, there's hope. The term football, or sometimes International Football, is being used more and more as more foreign players come to play in the US and are interviewed. Being a former player, and a military brat, I can say that we used soccer in Japan...both terms in Greece...and football in Germany.
it looks improved a lot!The king is back!
You know a game is bad when all the comments are debating the usage of soccer or football instead of the actual game ;) just joking, PES isn't too bad and I look forward to seeing how this year's game will turn out.
I love both FIFA and Pro Evo, but I will defo always have that soft spot for PES.
