Official Konami update patch of PES 2014
Fans of Konami's iconic soccer simulation series Pro Evolution Soccer can play an updated version of PES 2014 that fixes all bugs that plagued the original release of the 2014 iteration of the game. This patch is a must have for all PC users of the game.
Some of the improvements are reflected in the graphics, especially in the animation detail of players and their facial expressions in reactions to various in game events. This aspect of the patch enhances the realistic effect that Konami strive for in their continuing rivalry with arch rival Electronic Art's FIFA soccer franchise. The overall animation appears smoother as well, including player interaction with the ball which appears to be more free flowing.
To use the patch, it is necessary to already have downloaded the initial release of Pro Evolution Soccer 2014, in order to reap the benefits of the improvements. Users will discover that the patch optimises various game modes, and improves in game usability. The update eliminates various bugs that observant users spotted in the original release, and tweaks the game play to improve the overall effect. The patch has full online compatibility, as well as the enhanced multiplayer menu, which serves the web based Master League competition. Club badges and names of teams from the Portuguese Primeira Liga and the English Premier League have been fixed as well as the third kits of several English Premier League sides.
Erroneous player names from the Japanese J-League, Dutch Eredivisie, American Major League Soccer and the Bosnian First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina have all been corrected, which should satisfy perfectionists and soccer trivia nerds. Transfers that occurred in real life soccer have also been incorporated into the patch, notably Gareth Bale's record breaking transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Spanish giants Real Madrid, and German star Mesut Özil's headline grabbing move from Real Madrid to Arsenal.
It is necessary to have downloaded an official copy of Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 to avail of this patch.

PES 2014 Patch is the official final patch released by Konami for Pro Evolution Soccer 2014.
As with many PC games, Pro Evolution Soccer 2014, or PES 2014 for short, was released with a number of bugs. This is the official patch released by Konami to correct those issues. Note that there may have been multiple patch releases, but version 1.07 is the final version. It brings PES 2014 up to its final release state, and there’s no need to install earlier patches, but it’s also all right if you have. Consider this an essential patch that, in theory, fixes all bugs discovered in PES 2014 post release.
One of the bigger issues that affected all game modes was that it wasn’t always possible to assign a role to a player who’d been substituted and then moved into another position. This has been fixed. Konami also corrected issues with mouse sensitivity on the Game Plan screen.
In Exhibition mode, this patch corrects issue with selecting ML teams in Team Select. It also corrects a bug where player names could be corrupted when exporting team data. In the Become a Legend mode, the zero-pound wage contracts exploit has been removed, and any criteria set when searching for a player will now persist during that session unless changed by the user. Finally, in the Master League Online mode, freezing issues caused by patch version 1.06 have been eliminated, and there were minor adjustments to optimize usability and performance throughout.
This patch requires Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 to be installed on the system. If the patch cannot detect the PES 2014 installation, it will simply refuse to install and close. Note that Konami released two distinct patches: one for the digital version of the game and one for the DVD version. This patch should include both and install the appropriate version automatically. Also note that some users may experience a corrupted installation, and the best way to ensure a smooth update is to perform a fresh installation of the game and then update. If you choose this route, be sure to back up your saves and settings first.
