It is being developed and published. It consists of eighteen main instalments and several spin-off style titles and it has seen releases on many different platforms. It is itself a sister series of Konami's earlier and has been released under different names before the name Pro Evolution Soccer was established worldwide.
The series has consistently achieved critical and commercial success.The Pro Evolution Soccer series has also been used in. (or PES World Finals as it was formerly known) is the official esports world championship held annually since 2010. PES League features both an individual's tournament (1v1) and since the 2018 edition a team's tournament (3v3).In circles, Pro Evolution Soccer has a longstanding rivalry with '. As with the FIFA series, PES allows players to perform their own unique. Listed as, the series has sold over 106.8 million copies.also created a similar mobile game called PESCM or Pro Evolution Soccer Club Manager. Contents.Gameplay The Pro Evolution Soccer series strives to emulate real soccer. As such, gameplay simulates a typical game of association football, with the player controlling either an entire team or a selected player; objectives coincide with the rules of association football.
Various game modes have been featured in the series, allowing for gameplay variety, including the Kick Off, Online and Offline modes. In addition to these modes, there is an editing one where the player can fix (to some extent) the series' greatest problem, poor licensing.Master leagueThe Master League mode, gives the user control of a team of user's selection. Originally, the players were all generic-fictional players, however this later changed giving the user the option to change the settings and choose to play with default players. These players, such as Brazilian forward Castolo, have become cult figures to many people playing the Master League. The aim is to use these players and gain points by winning matches, cups and leagues.
Using acquired points to purchase real players to join the team. Ultimately, one should end up with a team of skilled players.From PES 3 ( Winning Eleven 7), players' growth and decline curves were added, where a player's statistics may improve or decline, depending on training and age.
This added a new depth to purchasing players, adding value to an up-and-coming youngster whose abilities rise dramatically and creating a trade-off if the player buys skilled but declining veterans.EditingFans of the series often make 'option files' and 'patches' which modify all player names into those of their real life counterparts, as well as including transfers from the latest transfer window and, occasionally, altered stats of more obscure players whose in-game attributes do not precisely replicate their real life skills.' PES Stats Database' and 'PES Stats' are examples of websites that are dedicated to creating accurate stats for players. More experienced gamers often use 'patches', editing the actual game code and modifying the graphical content to include accurate kits for unlicensed teams, new stadiums, and footballs from, and, as well as more balls. Most patches also contain licensed referee kits from and the official logos of the various European leagues. These patches are technically a breach of copyright, and are often sold illegally in territories in the. Konami have become less tolerant of this kind of fan editing in recent years, and now the data pertaining to kits and player statistics in each new release. However, fan communities invariably find ways to crack this encryption, and patches still appear once this has been achieved.Since Pro Evolution Soccer 6 onwards, there has been a separate league with 18 generic teams (Team A, Team B, Team C etc.) present, which can be edited fully.
This is thought to be due to the fact that Konami failed to get the rights to the, and is usually made into the Bundesliga or another league of one's preference by patch makers. However, most people use this to put their edited players into playable teams from the start instead of having to play through Master League to purchase them or alternatively edit the existing non-generic teams. This feature does not appear in the Wii version of the game (but, as stated above, the non-generic teams can be edited anyway).Goal Storm / ISS Pro series Pro Evolution Soccer series traces its roots to Goal Storm (also known as World Soccer Winning Eleven in Japan). The game was developed by and was released in 1996. The first Winning Eleven game, without the World Soccer prefix, was which was released only in Japan for the PlayStation in 1995, and featured only the 14 clubs that played in. Main article:Tagline: 'They Will Rock You'Pro Evolution Soccer 2 ( World Soccer: Winning Eleven 6 in Japan and World Soccer: Winning Eleven 6 - International in the United States) is the 2nd instalment and was released in October 2002 and some felt that it was a slight backwards step from the original Pro Evolution Soccer. Others argued that it had improved.
The pace of gameplay was much faster than in the game's older sibling, with sharper turns and quicker reactions to tackles. It also included a training session mode. Extra clubs were added, with an extra Master League division. There were two new commentators, and, but this aspect of the game was criticised for the commentators' inaccuracies and tendency to speak over each other.The licensing was much the same, but infamously all Dutch players were called ‘Oranges’, because Konami did not hold the rights from the, for use from Dutch players (in fact, plenty of other football games of the period with FIFPro licences also saw this happen to them (including ), following Netherlands' unsuccessful campaign at the 2002 World Cup qualifiers). Also, unlike in the original game, the 'unofficial' club names stopped using obvious city names (e.g.
Was Manchester, was Madrid etc.), and instead used very ambiguous names (e.g. Manchester United were now Aragon, Liverpool became Europort and West Ham became Lake District). The edit mode included a club editor which offset this problem to some extent, with editable kits and logos as well as club and player names.The game notably included tracks from:. A version (known as World Soccer: Winning Eleven 2002 in Japan) was also released, which was again a minor update of its predecessor, and was the last Pro Evolution Soccer release for the original PlayStation.Pro Evolution Soccer 3.

The most significant update was the overhaul in the graphics engine, with more life like players and much improved likeness. Main article:Tagline: 'The long road to the Final'Pro Evolution Soccer 4 ( World Soccer: Winning Eleven 8 in Japan and World Soccer: Winning Eleven 8 - International in the United States) was the 4th instalment in the series and was released in 2004; featuring referee, and on the cover. This is the first Pro Evolution Soccer game to feature full leagues, namely the English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Dutch top divisions, though with full league licences only for the latter three. As a result, clubs in, for example, the English League, an unlicensed league, have ambiguous names like 'West London Blue' and 'Man Red' for and respectively, and their home grounds and are respectively named 'Blue Bridge' and 'Trad Brick Stadium'.The gameplay has improved from Pro Evolution Soccer 3 (though not as much of a significant leap as its predecessor) with improved AI, tweaked play-on advantages and better throughballs.
Dribbling is tighter with the players (though at one-star difficulty, a player receiving the ball on either wing can dribble the ball down the length of the pitch relatively uncontested), plus free-kicks have been changed to allow lay-offs. The gameplay was criticised for its relatively easy scoring opportunities, as players can pass their way through opposing defenses, or hold on to the ball at the edge of the penalty area and simply wait for the opposing defenders to move away and thus give him space to shoot.
A new 6-star difficulty was added as an unlockable in the shop, as well as the previous items, while the Master League included enhancements such as player development, so many players over 30 would see certain attributes decline as the game progresses. Conversely, players could improve upon their attributes up to the age of 24-25, though the improvement is most rapid and obvious in players aged 22 and under.The edit mode has been enhanced rapidly, with the options to add text and logos to shirts (essentially sponsors) and pixel logo editing as well as the traditional preset shapes, thus making it easier to replicate a team. The game also includes an 'International Cup' and four regional Cups:.

However, countries like Israel and Iceland are not included. The Czech team is simply called 'Czech'. The 'American Championship' is a merger of the and the.

The improvements are mainly tweaks to the gameplay engine, while online play finally made it to the version. The game was perceived as much harder by fans, with a very punishing defence AI making it harder to score. Some players have pointed out inconsistencies in the star difficulty rating, such as 3 star mode being harder to beat than 6 star due to its more defensive nature, but in general scoring is harder. Referees are very fussy over decisions, awarding free kicks for very negligible challenges.There are various new club licences present, including, and a few other European clubs, as well as the full Dutch, Spanish and Italian Leagues.Since crowd animations on the PS2 version slowed down the framerate to an unplayable level in the testing phase, crowds were rendered as flat animated 2D bitmaps which, on certain angles, become unseen, making the stands appear empty; however, fully 3D-rendered crowds are present during cut-scenes.

Pro Evolution Soccer 6 was issued with more tricks and an overall more attacking mentality, but whether it does make it easier to take on defenders and get forward is debatable.More licences were added, including fully licensed international kits including the nations, and to name a few (as well as the ever-present Japan licence).
