Well to start, Yes it does.
PES is a game franchise that has sold millions all over the world and this year is no different.
People always find a way to hate on it, e.g. "you can only run in 8 directions". Who cares, as long as its fun.
It is sad to say that FIFA has overcome expectations to many people and that it is more realistic than PRO EVO but in my opinion FIFA is too realistic, perhaps taking the fun out of the game?
I have bought every PES onwawds from the ps1, so i do know what im talking about.
PES has introduced the Become A Legend (BAL) to the series over here in Europe but it was introduced a few years ago in the Japanese version of the game so PRO did not copy FIFAS "Be A Pro" mode. Overall BAL is really a gimmick after your first few seasons and they could have made it something special by introducing the old training modes from the EARLIER games, but this mode is more realistic than FIFAS "Be A Pro" e.g. calling for the ball doesn't always get you the ball in PES but in FIFA you get the Ball 100% of the time.
Masterleague is the same as ever which is unwnated and wanted.
PES has a lot of cup and leagues. I think there is 17 in total. The online may not stand up to FIFAS but legend mode is extremely fun. Everybody works as a team and you get a feeling of relief if you get a goal after ling together 20-30 passes.
Overall PES should keep you going for a year and is a great multiplayer game for you and your mates to play, but expect many arguments because this game is frusrating when you hit the bar from 30 yards out. It a great game and is a solid edition to the LEGENDARY franchise. Thank for reading my first ever review.
