''Pro Evolution Soccer'' (''PES''; (日本語:ワールドサッカーウイニングイレブン) ''Wārudo Sakkā Uining Irebun'', ''World Soccer: Winning Eleven'') is a series of soccer video games developed and published by Konami. Every year, the game is released around late September and/or early October with two different titles: ''World Soccer: Winning Eleven'' in Japan, and ''Pro Evolution Soccer'' in other countries. The Japanese version is a localized version that features local leagues. In 2007, the franchise began to use the name ''Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer'' for the American market, which was later changed to ''Pro Evolution Soccer'' in 2008, dropping the ''Winning Eleven'' moniker entirely for that region. Partially as a result of EA Sports' affinity to purchasing exclusive rights for their ''FIFA'' series, the games have historically lacked the sheer volume of licenses present in EA's offerings, with the most notable absences being the Premier League and Bundesliga. As such, team jerseys, names, and players may be inaccurate. Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays his club football for Real Madrid, was the face of the franchise, appearing on the front cover from 2012 to 2013. He has since been replaced by Mario Götze for 2015, then he was replaced by Neymar and Álvaro Morata for 2016, then he was replaced by Aya Miyama for 2017 to present. As of December 2011, the ''Pro Evolution Soccer'' franchise has been localized into 19 languages and available in 62 countries. As of December 2012, the series have been sold more than 81.65 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling video game franchises. ==Game modes and features== ;Master league The Master League mode, gives the user control of a team of user's selection. Originally, the players were all generic-fictional players, however this was later changed giving the user the option to change the settings and choose to play with default players. These players have become cult figures to many people playing the Master League. The aim is to use these players and gain points by winning matches, cups and leagues. Using acquired points to purchase real players to join the team. Ultimately, one should end up with a team of skilled players. From ''Winning Eleven 7'', players' growth and decline curves were added, where a player's statistics may improve or decline, depending on training and age. This added a new depth to purchasing players, adding value to an up-and-coming youngster whose abilities rise dramatically and creating a trade-off if the player buys skilled but declining veterans. ;Editing Fans of the series often make "option files" and "patches" which modify all player names into those of their real life counterparts, as well as including transfers from the latest transfer window and, occasionally, altered stats of more obscure players whose in-game attributes do not precisely replicate their real life skills. "PES Stats Database" and "PES Stats" are examples of websites that are dedicated to creating accurate stats for players.〔(PESStatsDatabase.com )〕〔(PESStats.com )〕 These are distributed via the internet in digital format, then transferred to the PlayStation 2 memory card using hardware such as the Max Drive. More experienced gamers often use "patches", editing the actual game code and modifying the graphical content to include accurate kits for unlicensed teams, new stadiums, and footballs from Nike, Inc., Puma, Umbro and Mitre, as well as more Adidas balls. Most patches also contain licensed referee kits from FIFA and the official logos of the various European leagues. These patches are technically a breach of copyright, and are often sold illegally in territories in the Middle East and Asia. Konami have become less tolerant of this kind of fan editing in recent years, and now encrypt the data pertaining to kits and player statistics in each new release. However, fan communities invariably find ways to crack this encryption, and patches still appear once this has been achieved. Since ''Pro Evolution Soccer 6'' onwards, there has been a separate league with 18 generic teams (Team A, Team B, Team C etc.) present, which can be edited fully. This is thought to be due to the fact that Konami failed to get the rights to the German Bundesliga, and is usually made into the Bundesliga or another league of one's preference by patch makers. However, most people use this to put their edited players into playable teams from the start instead of having to play through Master League to purchase them or alternatively edit the existing non-generic teams. This feature does not appear in the Wii version of the game (but, as stated above, the non-generic teams can be edited anyway). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pro Evolution Soccer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
