News › Pro Evolution Soccer

Short Preview of PES 2019

The demo of PES 2019 has finally arrived, and is available on the stores of the Playstation 4, XBox One and PC Steam. The first impression, but it is obvious that we could say every year is that it is the best Pro Evolution Soccer ever.

Like every year, lack of licenses, it has always been so. This year, however, it is missing a few less. In fact, they bought some licenses minor leagues more of Russia and Scotland. Also, unfortunately, missing the Champions League, and it is not a problem recently. Among other changes include a new look of the menu, definitely more modern.

The style of the game is always fantastic. Dribbling are sliding and easy to control, the passage of the ball is accurate and pull the ball is satisfactory. Also have taken a cue from FIFA and have added the substitutions dynamics: it will be possible to replace one or more players to your liking without having to go to the menu, stopping the game.

In the end, it should be the same as PES fun each year. Depends on the manufacturer Konami, now, insert the right changes to the game to make it more durable. For example, the Master League has always been a lot of fun but there are things to improve. It would also be great if lanciasserò the game with the teams already updated fully.

On YouTube already you can see numerous gameplay videos made thanks to the demo. We will show you one that we especially liked:

Watching this video there is one question in mind, however, that every year all the video game players of world soccer are: 'it is better to PES 2019 or FIFA 19?'.

Our opinion is that Pro Evolution Soccer is much better than FIFA at the moment in which you enter in the field. The gameplay, the details, the sounds and the smoothness of the PES are unbeatable. Unfortunately for Konami, FIFA wins hands down when it comes to services, game modes, longevity, multiplayer, and of course, licenses.

The new controls of PES 2019...

Numerous videos already out on YouTube talk about controls PES 2019. We can divide them into two groups: controls and attack controls to the defense. These are some of the controls on the attack:

  • Dribbling: R1/RB + Left hand Lever
  • Fast shutter: R1/RB + R1/RB + Left-hand Lever toward the direction
  • Ball control: R2/RT (in the race) + Right Lever toward the direction
  • Touch Next: R2/RT (from a standstill) + Right Lever toward the direction
  • Ball lock: Leaves Lever left + R1/RB
  • Stop Fast: Leaves Lever left + R2/RT
  • Pretend Stop: Leaves Lever left + R1/RB
  • Shoot: Square/X
  • Aimed shot: Square/X + R2/RT
  • Lob: Square/X + L1/LB

These are some of the controls in the defense:

  • Pressing: X/A
  • Tracking: X/A + R1/RB
  • Slip: Circle/B
  • Sweep the Ball: Square/X

When you are not in possession of the ball, you can issue orders to the players controlled by the CPU, such as deciding on the type of marking or the type of pressing and taking out the goalkeeper.

We apocanow we are accustomed to show a video summary of the things that we say and also in this case a nice video that shows the controls is not bad. Here he is:
