PES 2015's marquee feature this year is PES ID, which makes the world's star players move and act like they do in real life. Does that mean Robben will be doing lots of crying then? #footballjoke

One thing PES has over FIFA is presentation. Courtesy of the Fox Engine, PES 2015 nails the match-day atmosphere. A context-sensitive crowd more naturally reacts to events, while stadiums are now lit from a single source. I also like the policemen.

With Live Updates, however, Konami tear a page from EA's handbook. Here weekly DLC packs update transfers and team line-ups across the English, French, Italian, Spanish, and Brazilian leagues. Player stats will be tweaked based on real-world performances, too.

Additional Improvements include a stadium editor, overhauled menus, real mangers, and second-tier leagues from England, Spain, Italy and France.

PES 2015 is scheduled for release on November 13th. A free demo will be available from September 17th.
