Pes 2014 -: Pro Evolution Soccer -europa- -itel-

⚽⚽⚽ (3/5) – Promising foundation, incomplete execution. Report compiled from Konami EU patch notes, Italian gaming press archives (2013–2014), and user data from PESFan Italia.

Sales in Italy were approximately 35% lower than PES 2013 , attributed to the loss of Serie A exclusivity (which shifted to EA Sports). | Feature | Status (ItEl version) | |---------|------------------------| | Fox Engine | Yes (v1.0 – unoptimized for PC) | | Italian commentary | Full (Pardo/Tardelli) | | Serie A licenses | 4/20 real teams (e.g., Juventus fake) | | Italian stadiums | 1 (San Siro) | | UEFA modes | Yes (CL + EL) | | Online multiplayer | Yes (lag prevalent in Italy due to server location in Germany) | | Cross-platform saves | No | 8. Conclusion PES 2014 – Europa – ItEl represents a transitional, ambitious but flawed entry. The Italian localization was professionally executed (commentary, text, chants), but the lack of Serie A authenticity and the Fox Engine’s growing pains undermined the product in its target market. For Italian fans, PES 2014 remains remembered as “the one with great ball physics but fake Juventus.” PES 2014 - Pro Evolution Soccer -Europa- -ItEl-
