Reading FC (pronounced RED-ing) or Berkshire Blues made their first appearance on the game in Pro Evolution Soccer 6. After retaining their Premier League status for a second season, Reading once again featured in Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, with the same fake name. Reading look likely to not feature in the next installment of the series after their relegation from the Premier League in the 2007/08 season.

Players

With a relatively weak squad statistic wise, many say Reading prove a challenge to even the most astute gamer whilst playing on Professional or Top Player difficulty. Among their squad, they do however feature some players playing for licensed national teams. Stephen Hunt, Shane Long (all Republic of Ireland national team), Marek Matejovsky (when transferred from the Czech Republic national team), Emerse Fae (from the Ivory Coast) and Graeme Murty (Scotland national team). Along with these, Striker Leroy Lita, is seen as somewhat of a darkhorse. Possessing a rather decent development curve, to go with fast pace and an accurate shot, Lita is seen by many as a player who plays better than his stats suggest.
