The PES Productions team based in Tokyo has developed a new approach to soccer and confirmed that the new system utilizes the recognizable Fox Engine from Kojima Productions at its core. The team has expanded and enhanced the Fox Engine to meet the demands of a soccer title.

Based on six fundamental principles, the new system has allowed every aspect of PES 2014 to be completely redesigned, offering an experience closer to the creation of action and variety of a high-level match. The central theme of flow is based on the continuous movement of players and position changes that characterize the modern approach to soccer.

PES Productions has examined how matches alternate, with the individuality of players being crucial to a team's success, and well-organized tactics helping underdogs achieve big victories. Working from the ground up, PES Productions has aimed to redesign every element of the game, creating a new, fresh, and dynamic standard for soccer titles.

Apart from noticeably improved graphics and seamless movement, the new system's power has been used to redefine the way soccer is played on a home system. The constraints imposed by old motion bases and AI elements are gone, and PES 2014 features a central core that perfectly replicates the skill and awareness that elevate the world's top players above others.

Six central principles combine to define PES 2014 as a new benchmark in soccer simulations, regulating everything from how players receive and control the ball, the naturalness of gameplay, and the feeling of match day: the intensity and euphoria or the overwhelming moments that a significant match experience can bring. PES 2014 will also mark the first appearance of the recently signed Asian Champions League, adding a plethora of officially licensed clubs to the competition, while the new game will exclusively retain the use of the UEFA Champions League tournament.
