This is basically an upgrade to the other PES series games, and it can only get better, though some tricky adjustments.
The new Legends mode added is a bit of a sucess, You start off creating your own character then playing for a unknown club to try to impress other managers, Also at the begining you choose the league that you wish to join either Detuch, English, Italian or Spanish, You can also edit the league to select whichever teams you wish to participate with, Then once you get yourself established in a team, You start of slow to work yourself to the bench and then to the first team, Keep down a regular place in the first team and at the end of each year, Your contract is up for renewal, You can then either choose to join the other teams or perhaps take a contract extention, After a couple of years and a run of good preformances, You maybe selected to play for you country in World Cup or European tournements, Try to end your career collecting many medals and achivements,
The Edit mode is also back to its best, With four different layers added to the kits, It allows for much more customization than previous series, The badges/Kit labelling is much the same also depending on the system, You can import Jpeg/Bitmap images to the game to create the sponsers for the kits, One problem is no icons/badges can be added to the shorts, Only the number can be changed (as well as the short design themselves)
Master Leagues remains much the same but with view to keeping the interest going longer some perks have been added to make the seasons seem more intersting, As before you can choose to take over an existing team with default stats of the players, An existing team with the current stats of the players or to create your team from scratch, However this mode only gives you made up players with not very good stats, This mode has been in the PES Master League series for a few years and recommend for the more experienced user (one of my favourites),
One other fault with all the PES series is the music added to the game for the menus, It has always been J-pop music and can get quite annoying after a while, Try to put up with it if you can,
Track record system (added to the gallery on the last pro evo) keeps a record of your preformances on the game, Wins, Losses, Draws, Goals Scored, Goals Conceeded, Keep an eye on this as this could help you receive achivements or trophies, Depending on your gaming system,
Overall, This game is starting to get back to its old form, This is still the best football game around and has been for the last 5-6 years, Beating Fifa in graphics and gameplay, PES has never had all the liecensing for the names, kits or badges but it has always made up for it in other areas, True the passing has been tricky in previous series and can get very annoying at times but most of the bugs have been smoothed out for this game, The series can only get better,
