PES 2014 Appreciation Thread

Great to see that PES 2014 discussion is going up again. Solid gameplay with enjoyable physicality, just very unfinished.
Hopefully modding will eventually follow.. Because I think the base is there for a solid game.

I'm struggling with two problems at the moment.

First, I get this damn error 0xc0000142 from patch 1.07 onwards and I can't bypass it in any way (except for one single time, by chance). I think it's an issue with jkgamer.dll, because this dll is there right from patch 1.07 and onwards. Did any of you finally manage to solve this problem?

Secondly, I can't make the no catch up bug tool work: I open it, then I open pes2014 exe; then, when I try to patch it, nothing happens. I read that it creates another exe without the bug, but I find no trace about it.

It's a shame, because, nonetheless, I'm enjoying this game a lot, especially with Fileloader fixes. Very realistic and balanced experience.
It's a pity that this game doesn't have an active modding scene like other old titles. It truly has potential and deserves some recognition after all these years
 
I've tried different cracks & there's few different of cracks made for this game alone made by different people/groups ( 3DM, RELOADED, SKIDROW/POSTMORTEM & Jenkey ).

-RELOADED cracked from PES 2014 v1.0 to v1.13
-SKIDROW/POSTMORTEM cracked PES 2014 v1.16 aka World Challenge. Skidrow release only for english language while Postmortem for Multi Language, they both same crack.
-Jenkey's crack ; the one with jkgamer.dll usually comes with File Loader
-3DM Crack made by chinese cracker group.

The most stable one is from Reloaded or Skidrow, you woudn't have a problem in newer machine but sadly File Loader don't support for both cracks since v1.12. I think file loader also don't support for 3dm crack

I used to think 0xc0000142 error usually came with AV blocked the file or require admin privilages (which is partially true) but jenkey's crack (jkgamer.dll) is very unstable in newer OS, tested on Windows 10. Hell, sometimes you need few times to click it before the game to be opened. Which is shame because it's the only crack that fully supported by File Loader.

File Loader is very good tool no doubt about it but i wish it's as much as stable like sider.

I brought WE 2014 Aoki some month ago. It plays a bit better than PES 2014 Latest patch, less input lag.
Fortunately i found a basic option file with all kits for in-game teams and few faces.

It was only for collection but in comparison to a 60fps PC patched PES 2014, there's no match. Sad that the game isn't better otherwise, on Windows it would have been doable to import J-League 1 and 2 teams with all players having a preset face.
Playing J-league on every PES, ML or League mode is always pretty immersive.

I'll perhaps be alone to think that but PES 2014 > 2015 + 2016.
PES 2015 lost everything i liked on PES 2014, and then one little push on the shoot and it was instantly goal where you were in the 15-20 last meters.
PES 2016.... The same but even from long distance as bownling where too heavy for keeper to make a save or worst : catch the ball.

This game is the last fox engine that still have some elements from PS2. It's still raw & crap to play but if konami a bit patience, we could've a better game.
 
Does anybody know if there is a tool to unlock free side choice in league mode or cup mode (like sider for pes2017)?
 
I hope this information helps anyone who needs to install the game:

1 - I downloaded the iso from "archive. org" (Size:11gb >>This iso has all the DLC and updates, the last update 1.16 doesn't work);
2 - I downloaded update 1.16 (3DM) from Hayes (page 15) and it worked perfectly;
3 - And then I installed Fire Patch 6.0 and it also worked without problems.
 
It's great to see interest in PES 2014 being renewed. I think it's a solid and underappreciated game, I played a season with Bolton Wanderers and had a great time. :)

I still have a hope that a "rain or cloudy conditions mod" is created someday (which Jenkey was close to completing back in the day).. Unfortunately, since I know next to zero about this kind of modding, it remains a hope. But a solid game nonetheless coupled with a good patch (I installed PESEdit), with good inertia and ball physics.

I installed PES EDIT too, just because that the only one i found and PES 2014 ML wasn't in my radar (there still too much fake league, but Bundes is great).

Then a tool i don't think having anymore named "No Catchup bug", no certain. A very simple and light tool to apply on the exe. Same gameplay but without catchup "bug" which was in reality a way to defend easier... Not necessary with the latest Konami patch improving already the long distance goal.

But well, the game is a first try, not exactly a demo tech but looked like a beta so there still was some unexecpted reactions, as the physics was too unpredictable with their A.I.

One note : even with all those errors and all, my results where more footballitisc and less tennistic than PES 2015 and 2016.
More bugged, unmastered by the devs, but more balanced of course with no intention. At least in my case, there's tons of approachs and skills levels to compare with others people regarding a sports game.
 
@NeoRetro I'm playing with the "No Catchup bug" fix as well!

I definitely think than in terms of gameplay, PES 2014 is better than PES 2015 or 2016. A more well-balanced game overall.

If one can overlook the very "basic, bare-bones" feeling of Master League, and the lack of weather variety, it's a solid experience. :TU:
 
Imagine if Konami postponed the release of this game for, February 2014. The same as what SEGA did recently for FM 2025.
I think the game (match engine, players modelizations..) would have been better since Konami had more time to work on it, so the fans reactions as well.

They did this with the official patches and DLC.
