By published

Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 will cease online functionality this November as Konami gears up for PES 2016. The press release is short but sweet, announcing that the publisher will be focusing on PES 2015 and the upcoming release of the FOX engine-enhanced PES 2016 from now on.

Here's the statement:

"Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. will close its online support for PES 2014 on November 17th. With PES 2016 set for release on September 15th and the online elements of PES 2015 still hugely popular, Konami will be moving its focus to those titles. As such, all online elements of PES 2014 will no longer be supported from this date. Konami thanks everyone who has taken part in PES 2014’s many online leagues and competitions. The PES online community is vital to the development process, and we are grateful for the constant support shown for the PES series."
