Whilst it excels in that area, with gameplay that’s as dynamic as ever, the game mode enhancements seem to have stagnated somewhat.įor those not wanting to venture online, there are familiar ways to get a quick hit of action in the Exhibition style modes. The fact is, they’ve nailed it in that sense, with the same speed of play available and non-existent lag ensuring that it is as if you were playing on the couch against a friend. One of the biggest tests the PES series faces is taking the addictive offline gameplay to the online side, without losing any quality. That’s because whilst you can predict the alternate pathway and move accordingly, the majority of the time the player resists for a second or two, thus momentarily getting lured towards where the ball was going to and not where it ends up – a rebellious act that will undoubtedly cost goals.

That does bring me to one of the very few negative gameplay aspects, something which occurs after a change to the course of the ball. When that ball gets scrambled into your penalty box and it’s bouncing around like a pinball, the mayhem is akin to how it’d happen in a proper real life game. It only takes a second to switch off and let someone cut open your defence with a through ball, so you have to be on your game constantly. That doesn’t mean there aren’t lapses in concentration though. I love scoring goals at the best of times, however there’s nothing better than netting in a tight match, and most of those in PES 2019 are – no matter whether you are up against human or A.I. But when you get that knuckle shot lined up or try a cheeky chip from a tight angle, even if it doesn’t go in, the level of excitement and fulfilment is high. Shooting is especially intriguing, with off-balance or badly timed shots leading to woeful attempts at goal that you’ll be ashamed of – and rightly so. Every good move, attacking effort and defensive block feels rewarding, like you’ve really earned it. You won’t be able to rush and panic your way to success, and instead it sees skill generally prevail over luck and fluke. There’s a much slower overall feel to the on-pitch antics compared to FIFA, and this rewards patient build up as well as clever play. The good news is that PES 2019 is an absolute joy to play, with every touch, pass, cross and shot feeling more realistic than ever. The gameplay is the bread and butter of any game, because without that being enjoyable, the rest is just pointless.
