General Comments

Some would say that Pro Evolution Soccer 4 is the best football game out, others argue that fifa still had the edge but one things for sure that if Pro evo 4 had better graphics and more licensing it would beet Fifa 10-0 - pro evolution soccer is miles above Fifa and as it continues to evolve it moves higher and higher above Fifa each time.

The problem this time around after 3 is that it has not been updated enough, Pro evolution soccer's problem is licensing - everyone that plays this game will know how annoying it is to get the game and have to update it or, sit there and play with teams where players names are so daft that they make no sense what so ever, however some people use this as a plus point to the game, I know people that can sit there hours on end and edit the game fully until it's maxed out.

In my answer to the licensing problem I would say create your own team, this way you get the excitement of playing in the master league with players that you know personally or ones you have just made up!

I think the master league is a great feature because you get to train players to make them better, you can also make it in to your own team by editing features, that means you can have yourself scoring the goal that wins the league, it brings a management side to the game, I love management games as well so combining the two was a great idea however pro evolution soccer management was a poor game and a waste of time, so don't bother!

In a master league you start off in division 2, and have to work your way up which is hard because you have a bad team but you do pick up some points then you can negotiate with other teams for their players, and improve your own, if you are new to the game then it will take you a while to progress up the leagues unless your playing one star!

Before starting a master league I recommend that you play some exhibition matches, just to get into the swing of things, even if you have already played the pro evo series because it does have a different game play to Pro Evolution Soccer 3.

Here's one problem with the whole pro evolution series, if you play a match against the computer 1 star or 2 stars is very basic however when you move on to 3 4 5 and now 6 stars the game gets a lot harder so if you are trying to pick up the game I recommend you play with a friend so they can tell you the basics and maybe even let you win a few times!!

New skills can be mastered in this game, and also one thing I love about this game is the training mode, you can do challenges to get up to 5 stars which is fun in itself but this also improves your skill on the pitch as well.

This game is a big party game, I would not recommend playing alone for a long time as it sometimes gets boring and repetitive and can put you off a great game.

A game that is relatively simple has a long lasting effect, and it's value for money as you always come back to play it and as you can not complete the game there is no end.
