   Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 Review

  • Fox engine sharpens up the visuals  
  • Impressive new facial animations  
  • Can still provide a fun game of football.


  • Frame rate issues during match buildup and replays  
  • Single- and multiplayer modes horribly dated  
  • Inconsistent AI makes passing and setting up goals tricky  
  • Awful commentary  
  • Loses some of the direct control and feel of previous games in the series.

6.0
This is a game that tries to straddle the line between arcade action and sublime simulation and never succeeds at either. PES is at its best when it's selective with its realism: here's hoping next year it can go back to doing what it does best.

A step forward for the series on the pitch, and provides a great foundation for it to build on going forward. But it feels like it?s only taken one step forward rather than a huge leap.
