  POSTED September 23, 2013

PES 2014 moves ever closer towards simulation, and in doing so forgets exactly what makes the series so different and so much fun in the first place. Click on Read More to check out The Good, The Bad and the critic scores.

   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.
