Online elements for PES 2014 will no longer be supported this fall

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. will close its online support for PES 2014 on November 17. Six central improvements (M.A.S.S., TrueBall Tech, Heart, PES ID, Team Play and Core) combine to establish PES 2014 as a new benchmark in football simulations.

PES 2016 strives to create a realistic yet always exciting match between users, and deliver quality gameplay as per KONAMI’s ongoing “The Pitch is Ours” mantra.

The greatly improved animation elements and level of detail will also delight, with the new game featuring 3x the animations of last year’s PES 2015, and aesthetic elements such as grass flying as the ball is kicked.

The 2014 title headlines a group of games whose services will be removed over the next two months.

On the bright side, the official trailer for PES 2016 shows crisp graphics and more authentic gameplay, true to actual real-life soccer.

If you live in Australia and New Zealand, you will be able to download the PES 2016 demo ahead of everyone else in the world.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 will be released on September 15th in North America and on September 17th in Europe on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC.
