Pro Evolution Soccer 5

From Pro Evolution Soccer - Wiki on Neoseeker

The Pro Evolution Soccer 5 (often just PES5) box-art features Chelsea's John Terry and Barcelona's (Arsenal's at the time) Thierry Henry. The game supports net play and it available for PC, PlayStation 2 and Xbox. The game had a much slower pace than its predecessors which surprised and angered many PES fans. However it was the first to introduce the online mode.

PES5 was also the first Pro Evolution to appear on the PSP and Xbox and despite it being slowed down it is considered by many players the best Pro Evolution game due to its realism and amazing step up from PES 4, these included:

• More realistic Preset Faces
• The ability to customize 1st and 2nd kits with much more options
• The introduction of snow
• More Edit appearance options such as untucked shirts and under-shorts
• More realistic player interaction (such as cold air being visible out of the players mouth)
• Online play

Licensing

• More national team licenses (Japan and South Korea)
• Chelsea and Arsenal the first English teams to be licensed from the English League
• Ligue 1, Serie A and Eredivisie fully licensed.
• Celtic, Rangers, Porto, Galatasaray and many more licensed.

This was also the last instalment to feature the Bundesliga.
