What happened to PES?| Why Konami killed Pro Evolution Soccer 

I really miss pro evolution soccer. I've tried my level best to get on with FIFA but simply can't. PES was always more fun and easy to get on with.

For me PES19 always had the most enjoyable gameplay. I don't understand why this version was so unpopular. Maybe because KONAMI lost CL and EL licenses?

Konami is an embarrassment,Japan is usually known for quality and its ability to deliver great product but i wonder why konami fell off

I rate PES 2009 to this day because it was my first football game. 2016 and 17 also gave me good times

I recommend Football Life 2024 for PES career mode fans, it's a fan project with original leagues/clubs based on PES 2021.

The golden era was from 03-06 on ps2. PES was always had the better game play. But too many kids liked the licensing and the packs and all that other rubbish which for me personally ruined the game and franchise.

golden era of Konami's PES was actually late 90s and early 2000s. starting with ISS/Winning Eleven games from PS1 to WE/PES games on PS2 PES ruled that era, until PES 6. after then, FIFA started to improve with 08 to 11 and totally take over with 12-13-14. altough FIFA is making same game every year polished with updated kits and rosters since the last 6-7 years, it has no competition anymore

The last good pes was pes 2021 with the euros. With "efootball" 2022 everything went downhill.

PES 2 for the PS1 is one of the best football games ever, to me it’s that and sensible soccer for the mega drive, I still play both games to this day

efootball is still a joke after 2 years, very minimal actual content and all they do is releasing the same cards weekly

PES was the best football game between in the 2009 - 2013 years and suddenly in the 2014, FIFA became the leader.

PES allowed you to download EVERY player/roster/kit/everything!!!!

Well, they tried to become the game for e-sports and failed miserably.

Konami spat on all the people that made the game what it was, the game that could keep up with FIFA because of the dedicated fans since PES and even ISS on nintendo. What a way to completely and shamelessly try cash in on a disgusting gaming trend. I hope the company goes bankrupt.

As someone who grew up early 2000s playing both FIFA & PES (leaned more FIFA then because it was getting annoying to remember that 'Square" was to shoot instead of 'Circle' lol). I actually would be happy if PES or something similar came out to compete with FIFA! i agree, with the lack of competition; FIFA (EAFC) would begin feel like a recycled game. FUT is fun, and i like the house rules/street features. But i think if PES could get the backing, where they'll be allowed to focus on the mechanics, maybe a few important license. EAFC would have to step their game up!

I loved pes 2011 where you could slate each other on the text 😂

I think moving on from annual releases to a live service makes a lot of sense for a football game. But that's about it when it comes to positives... in it's present state the game will be dead in few years.

FIFA is a great game but, prime Pes was definitely superior.

The reason because EA was a lot smarter to destroy PES, and Konami gave it up very quickly. Konami was very lazy to rescue its game.

Best Video explaining PES's demise. I really hope they pick up the FIFA license they honestly deserve it.

i still play pes 2018 with my bro🤘

I appreciate the quality and substance of your content, which is both informative and well-researched. However, I would suggest varying your tone and pitch to enhance listener engagement. A more dynamic vocal delivery could significantly elevate the overall impact of your presentation and maintain audience interest throughout.

I just fires up my PES 2018 for the first time in 3 years and it's great. I'm using a file that allows me to have all the official teams, competitions and players and I was looking back at the Nottingham Forest team I took to conquer the world with years in my eyes. They were my boys. 😂

The golden era of PES was late 90s up to about 2006. Certainly not after that

FIFA can suck ass PES was the greatest football game ever

Dude claiming the name change was a big deal... the problem was the game... PES was not always PES... It used to be Winning Eleven until they decided to make one called Winning Eleven Pro Evolution Soccer... and you can guess what happned after.

Pes18 was my last game and till today for me the best Part

I'm really disappointed that they took out the become a legend mode. I used to play FIFA, but I switched to proevolution after a time. And I'll never go back to FIFA. But not having BAL is a huge step backwards IMHO. But I know everything is geared towards online gaming now and it's all about money.

The reason efootball is so different from the pes games is because it's on a new engine, they rebuilt the game from ground up on unreal engine

I wished the efootball developers should add real tattoo features of every players and also fit body status

Well, I just play pes 2021 on the pc with modern patches. Solves all licencing issues. Fifa will always be shit and I'll never give it the time of day! E Football 2022 was indeed the worst piece of crap Konami have ever produced! Utter dogsht so although I'll always be greatfull for 2021, that's it for me! I'm only interested in the Master league, it's a deal breaker for me!

Gave up playing football games in general ..😢

Great video…I really hope Konami can get back to what made PES great…it would be good to have 3 companies now fighting to get players (2K, EA, and Konami)… I played FIFA 23 and FC24 on gamepass and seeing how they literally just recycle everything from year to year makes me mad confused how ppl can actually spend money on this series

the last pes game i willing to spend was pes 2018 where they have ucl...after that i stop and keep downloading patch

You deserve more views bruh

Maybe its because you young but there is a much bigger backstory. To start with one of the biggest problem. “seabass” left after 2018. Up until then he was like a senior director or something like that, more or less every success (alot of it) and failure of pes was down to him. He received alot of criticism over pes 2014 and since then there was shakey ground. Since he left it was very clear that the direction/culture within pes games had changed instantly. Just go look at the 2 trailers…night n day. They begun to want to appeal to more western demographics, they ditched asian pop songs from their menus in favour of indie. Gameplay features were fading away, aswel as player i.d. ….it all became about bridging the move towards myclub n online play. Seabass i’ll admit was very stubborn. However i strongly feel given the time he would’ve gotten pes back to where it needed to be. Master league was their golden ticket yet yr after yr they never took advantage. - poor valuations of players compared to real life made transfers feel fake. Or teams having poor transfer budgets when in real life its clear it should be more. - they took way too long to make their skill moves more fluid and easy to use. - the integration to the fox engine was also a huge factor, pes 2014 was a shit show for the first 3 months. Ive never seen a worse release. Several big name stars didn’t have real faces and there was this jitter bug that would cause a lag if you had too many players in the box. 😮 i could go on and on. But what i hated was the fact that konami saw seabass as being too technical when in fact the very things that made pes stand out are exactly what fifa has implemented into their newer games. pes 2014 was their downfall. Even me as a lifelong pes fan it was the beginning when i started to entertain buying both fifa n pes games because i felt pes just were never innovative enough. It took until pes 2016/17 before we saw full 360 degree movement with the left stick…by that point fifa had been doing that for 2-3 years.

Konami is absolute trash. They dont give any resources or permission to the pes team to improve it and then they abandon it. They lost the people who knew how to work on pes so they couldnt continue it and had to go all in on their mobile version and skip a year to bring it to pc. Do a video on football life 25 !!!!! Love and blessings!

They removed master league so no there's no redeeming this franchise without that, all they care about is shitty ultimate team that's not why I bought pes, its a disgrace

Not true, PES started to decline after PES 06(which was actually their best game), after which their next good game was actually pes 16

In my eyes, "Manager Career" is always inferior to "Master League". Missed that game.

eFootball is a disgrace. It's a PS3 game. I believed in the project, but now I think Konami should off the game and put an end to this scandale.

I do really regret pirating the game every version since 2010 😢 now

its a downfall since they decide to make messi their BA

pes 18 gameplay was the best I ever played. Advanced shooting was superb but now Advanced shooting in efootball 24 is now terrible 😳 😕

after pes 2013 everything went to the wrong direction

is this guy sleeping

PES the goat>>>>> Efootball series

i play pes on my nokia when i was young what a good memories

I used to read the magazine PSM2 UK it was a running joke trope on the writing team for years how Pro Evo used to slum it with no licenses but was light years beyond big old evil infinite money FIFA. They'd make masterpiece yearly games and you could tell they'd poured all their hearts into it. They seemed to spend most of their lunchtimes playing Pro Evo and were obsessed with the Master League. Then suddenly FIFA got good at gameplay (possibly due to the ridicule eventually hitting sales) and it was game over for Pro Evo.

pes 21 was the best game

This is the best time Konami can come back with PES 2025... EAFC is trash

For me that's because fifa got waaaaaaay better than pes back then. Pes wasn't realistic, it was arcade football, especially 2008 and 2009. I went then from 2010 to fifa and it was night and day. And i think many people think the same and that's why pes died so quickly. Pes4-pes6 DESTROYED fifa 05-07. It wasn't even a competition. Pes was ways ahead of it's time with these 3 games but then lost track somehow, at least for me.

PES was fun

Great video

Efootball sucks man

Replacing PES with E-Football is sad 😂

PES looks like a mobile game now.😂. R.I.P

I miss pes

Efootball on the console is way to slow it sucks on mobile it’s fun

EFootball now is not that bad

In your opinion, which is the best/favorite PES ever ?

You are the only one who saw the real reason of this downfall

Why is the passing and dribbling so shit???

PES 2016-2019 was the best

I'm glad it's dead. PES 21 was a trainwreck of a game.

PES 2013 to pes 2021 in al player id, eFootball is not al player 😅

2:55 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔

Efailball the end of konamee... Worst control & gameplay than pes

Ya saying crap

Pes 2002 and 2006 was good I don’t like 13 16 18 21

Pro Evo 6 was the last great game plus it's hard to watch your jerky game videos

😅😅😅😅😅PES
