9. Master Leagues "RPG" Factor
Once again the PES familys favourite mode, the Master League has landed with some tweaks: Konami have always had depth in the PES series and this time it comes as evolved. During the Master League, boots will be unlocked, which can be allocated individually to whichever player you choose, subsequently affecting their attributes. For example some boots have a boost on speed, while others affect shooting - a feature which is quite appealing in terms of tuning your squad according to their positions and the strategy favoured. It allows the player to potentially juice up wingers' speed and crank up a particular strikers shooting ability, and that's not to forget the sliders that also allow you to focus your training on whichever aspect works best with your style of football. All-in-all, Konami have gone for a more complete, RPG-like approach to career play, rewarding players who stay with the game to "level-up" and allowing them to stamp their own individual touches on players and play the way an RPG would with character development.
8. Excellent Training Mode
While many players will never even explore this menu, the training mode in PES 2013 is robust, with incredible depth and is truly rewarding. That reward comes when youve spent a good few hours trying to learn the individual tricks and cheeky flicks, and then you happen to pull it off in the quarter finals of a European cup, storming the keeper and finishing off with a beautiful low shot in the bottom corner. But no matter how long you spend in the Training Mode, you shouldnt expect to exploit any trick over and over, as the evolved AI wont fall for it. The training mode lets you work on every aspect of the game, penalties, free kicks, set pieces, goalkeeping and much more. If perfectly timed moves with deadly accuracy is your thing, then dont miss out on training.
