However, you can continue to negotiate throughout the season, even though you would have to wait until the next transfer window to sign them.įIFA has Be a Pro. You are only able to approach 5 players at a time and, after waiting 2 or 3 weeks for a response, if you find they have refused, then you have to wait a further week for the system to remove them from the list so you can approach another few players or renegotiate with the ones you want. Trying to sign players is a little disjointed though. The mode does everything you would want it to and, lack of correct licences aside, is good fun. Now, the Master League is essentially your season / manager mode, featuring a wealth of options to tinker with.

I may have missed this over the past couple of years, but somewhere along the line Konami decided against having you pick your favourite team, and then fill it full of a bunch of nobodies. The ubiquitous Master League is still here too. It works as it does in real life (apart from the spectacular fall from grace of Liverpool) and is fun. Essentially, this is just a cup competition game mode, but with added authenticity. All the logos, monikers, visuals and other such bells and whistles are there, as well as that infernal “theme tune” that the tournament has, and it makes it all look, sound and feel authentic. It seems somewhere along the way, Konami managed to wrestle the licence away from EA and, instead of making a separate game, they slap it into this one. Ignoring the exhibition match, my first foray was into the Champions League. But at least it works, and that is saying something. All the expected game modes are there, with nothing really new, flash, or innovative.
Considering that in days gone by, Konami’s idea of acceptable online play was the equivalent of something powered by a hamster in a wheel, the fact that everything runs smoothly now is a godsend. The pristine finish is still there, just with a layer of muck covering it.Īnyway, the menus aren’t important. Then, some kid wearing a hoodie comes along with a fist full of dirt and throws it all over your bonnet. Imagine you have a nice, brand new Porsche 911 and you have spent the best part of the day polishing it up. It still has that glossy look it had, but there’s something dirty about it. The front end has been given a nice polish. So imagine my surprise when upon playing the game I was pleasantly, umm……surprised. Safe to say then, that I wasn’t looking forward to reviewing this years’ iteration. In fact, the last one I had, I took back to the shop for a refund as I was that disgusted with it.

I haven’t touched a Pro Evolution game for a couple of years now.
How do you keep writing the same things year in, year out? Especially when, and let’s be honest here, there isn’t that much different from the last years effort. But now, there are only two left, so pitting one against the other is easy. As such, constant comparisons were rendered moot. I mean, once upon a time, the market was flooded was football games, from the great to the not so great. They are certainties.Īnother certainty is that every year EA and Konami both release annual updates to their football games, and every year, right on cue, all the journalists clamour over comparing, contrasting, and declaring a winner in the great battle for dominance. They happen every day, of every month, of every year, without fail. And every day, tabloid papers print crap about meaningless people that happen to think themselves’ important because they appear on ‘the telly’. Every morning, upon pulling myself out of my pit, I need a cigarette and a coffee, strong, white, with two sugars. Every morning, the sun rises and when the day is done, it disappears from view, only to be replaced by the moon.
