It’s a strong game, but not the conqueror Konami was hoping it would be. While PES 2014‘s clarity of presentation and play are alluring though, its true depth is hidden and inaccessible to all but those hardcore fans already familiar with the series. Developer PES Productions aimed this particular entry as a fresh start for the flagging series, and its purity feels like a reflection of that goal. It is understated, almost rustic (as much as a video game can be) in its approach to digital sport there are only a handful of play modes, and they are all devoted to just playing the game with a minimum of presentational flourishes. When you first start Pro Evolution Soccer 2014, an Italian aria crests while you look at a pristine football pitch and the game asks for your name. When you turn on FIFA 14, the first thing that happens is you have to sit through a five-minute infomercial about the multitude of features in the game, from the micro-transaction heavy Ultimate Team to FIFA‘s constantly updated live match tracker, all while some licensed pop song blasts in the background.
How does Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer distinguish itself from Electronic Arts’ global sales behemoth FIFA year after year? By presenting itself in a completely different way.
