This series is known for its difficult controls, but I think they’re only slightly more complicated than FIFA, and you don’t have to use them all to effectively execute an attack.įor those that want to easily pull off skill moves, you can use the linked feint system, which lets you assign up to four back-to-back moves to the four cardinal directions, which are then automatically executed in sequence with a flick of the right analog stick (while holding down the L1/left bumper). Movement with the left analog is smooth, and it’s easy to control players, even if you’re working in small spaces and throwing in some fancy footwork. Pro Evo’s fluid skill with the ball, along with its Master League options, makes it a force to be reckoned with. There also isn’t player development, so this online mode is more of a nicety than a necessity for you to experience. Like most online modes, you can’t avoid some questionable tactics, and it shouldn’t be too hard for players to create a stacked team even if they lose a bunch. This year the Master League also goes online, letting you sign players off the transfer list with currency earned for playing others online. It’s also the only mode in the game that lets you play appearances for your national squad. If you want more of the up-and-comer experience, play the Be a Champion mode, where you try to break into the starting lineup. I also like that Pro Evo has a youth system, although it’s disappointing that you don’t really play reserve games – you merely sign the best players to your main team. Also, unlike FIFA, this game includes week-to-week form for players and the ability to grow them the way you see fit via earned points. The Master League returns with a more intuitive interface, the usual transfers, domestic cups, and UEFA Europa/Champions League. Pro Evolution isn’t perfect in its gameplay and modes, but after a few years of not being able to adjust to the next-gen changeover, the series is finally coming on strong. Instead of being bummed that it doesn’t have Chelsea, I suggest you grab the controller, break a few ankles with some skill moves, revel in the glory you’ve earned on the pitch, and manage your team to the top. Perhaps out of necessity, this year’s title offers such a complete experience that I don’t dwell as much on what it doesn’t have as much as what it does so well. Pro Evolution doesn’t have all the leagues, players, and teams of its competitor (even though it has teams like Manchester United and the UEFA Champions League), but never have I felt like it mattered so little.
One of the undeniable strengths of EA’s FIFA franchise is its use of licenses.
