With scouts costing 25000GP and each individual match resulting in a reward of between 10GP, at first glance these systems appear designed to make use of the microtransactions to cut out the grind. There’s also another currency, earned through playing games and completing tournaments, called GP. On first appearance, m圜lub appears geared toward maximising the use of microtransactions that are used to buy match coins, which in turn can be used to buy players or scout new ones. Become A Legend is virtually unchanged but m圜lub and Master League are likely to take up the vast majority of your time here.
PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 2019 REVIEW PRO
The meat of the game is ultimately broken up into three predominant modes Become A Legend which sees you take the reigns of a single player, Master League which allows you management control over a club and m圜lub which acts as the Ultimate Team of Pro Evo, where you build a club from the ground up by buying players. After 10 hours of play, the same lines and phrases do crop up time and time again and this does make Pro Evolution feel stale in the audio department, accentuated by a diverse but ultimately uninspiring soundtrack. There also appears to be a bit of a delay between the commentary and pitch action too, as commentators express excitement after a play has already fizzled out. Loading screens are a bit of a problem too and the commentary is lacklustre to say the least, with stock phrases from games of old still here in all their glory. The team management screen in particular feels archaic after all these years and is crying out for a bit of a revamp. There’s still an arcadey feel to set pieces as well too and some of the menus lack the polish Fifa manages to achieve so effortlessly.
AI can sometimes pause while the ball lazily drifts across the pitch and clearing balls from the box lacks the responsive urgency one may expect. There are still some hiccups in this department though, especially during wayward through balls struck between two attackers. While there’s still a bit of a disparity between attackers and defenders – especially if you choose to play as a lower league team against strong opposition – the attacking play is frequently exciting and games are surprsingly balanced as the AI act reasonably intelligently across the pitch.
You can change tactics on the fly with directional buttons and scoring volleys from outside the box loop over keepers with a lovely bit of finesse. Balls regularly pinball around penalty boxes during a speculative shot or pacey corners being whipped in leading to some very frantic and exciting moments. This year’s title adds the inclusion of mis-kicks and tightens up some of the physics to make for some surprisingly realistic plays. It’s here where Pro Evolution excels and when it comes to the gameplay, there’s no other game that accurately captures the feel of playing a real football game. Having said that, eFootball PES 2020 boasts a wealth of options this year, so much so that the gap between Fifa and Pro Evo seems to be shrinking as Konami’s footballing title pulls out all the stops to deliver an authentic footballing experience. I’ll be the first to admit, I’m a big FIFA fan and have played almost every title since the early days of Fifa 96, I’ve only dabbled with Pro Evolution over the years. Since then, FIFA has become the behemoth of football games, despite arguably coming up second best where it really matters – on the pitch. Pro Evoultion Soccer or Fifa? It’s a debate that’s raged on over the years with the early Playstation 2 days seeing Pro Evo rise to dominance before FIFA claimed the top spot.
