With this mode, Konami is attempting to create their own version of the hugely popular FIFA Ultimate Team. The brand new and deeply incorporated mode in PES 2015 is m圜lub, a Master League Online overhaul. It's a nice touch for players who find the actual gameplay too daunting and just want to sink their teeth into the management of a team. Another notable new addition is a tactical view mode for simulating matches, which lets you observe the action from a 2D perspective as if you're playing a Football Manager game. Plus, just like your Become a Legend player, the manager gets his own model and can appear in cutscenes as well as on the pitch. Two new added features are a team trust level and scouting reports, both rather self-explanatory. You can play with a randomly generated team or an existing one, and oversee all day to day operations plus play the actual matches. Master League, meanwhile, is still the classic manager mode of controlling a club and all its aspects. Annoyingly, there's still no skipping to the end of the match after you're subbed off. You can again, thankfully, choose at least what league you start in, and a manager trust level gauge makes its return. You are still taking control of either an existing pro or creating your own with randomized stats, and living out their career as an individual. The latter hasn't seen many changes, apart from more licensed gear to wear. You can always just jump into any of the licensed competitions and play through their rounds, or get into the two main offline modes Master League and Become a Legend.
Indeed, despite all the progress PES 2015 has made as we'll discuss later, the licensing remains its Achilles heel. But ask any casual fan if they want to play a new footy title with Merseyside Blue (aka Everton) or Merseyside Red (aka Liverpool), and their answer will probably contain the words "I am going back to FIFA". For hardcore fans of PES in South America and Europe (the strongest markets for the franchise), this may be enough. As is usually the case, most of the players are licensed, as are a few coaches this year. English and Italian second-tier teams are also present, but they are not licensed.
Stepping below the top flight, the game introduces second-tier teams for the first time, with Spanish Liga Adelante represented in its entirety, as is the French Ligue 2. South American Copa Libertadores is joined by a newly added Copa Sudamericana tournament. Europe’s UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League competitions remain exclusive to the franchise, along with most associated graphics and music. But it's certainly not for the lack of trying. We begin as we always must, in noting that PES 2015 still lacks official licenses for many of the world's most popular clubs.
