    Still the best football game around, and somehow ever better than last year's edition. One for true football fan's only though. Those looking for a more arcadey version of football will still enjoy Fifa much more.

    PES 2017 is another step in the right direction. Konami thus capitalizes further on their strong formula. While not everything is perfect, the core gameplay is really on point: a real joy for lovers of football games.

    PES 2017 is a clear evolution on the last iteration of the franchise, little changes has been made in terms of gameplay but enough to improve the experince overall so lets get to it.

    Gameplay
    In terms of gameplay is where the game really shines, adding a more realistic pace very similar to the real thing, of course you can change the speed of the game in config according to your personal feeling. The passes are a pleasure to practice and if you play with the big teams and big stars of the sport is more frecuent to see espectacular plays running smooth as you planned in your mind. Other area where the game improved is in the physical part, now feels more realistic when players stumb one on another fighting for the ball and there are some cool new animations for diferent situations in the game.
    Shooting has been refined too, now is harder to make easy curly goals like in PES 2016, this in big part thanks to the overhaul made on the goalkeepers that now are more reliable than before, making great savings in the most variable situations, of course sometimes they make some mistakes like give a rebound to the middle of the area but in real life goalkeepers do it too so in the end is something neccesary in the game otherwise everybody will be complaining the goalkeepers are too perfect and thats not very human.
    Referees are better this time, now they participate more in the game interrupting the game when fouls result of the physicality of the game, is great to see the animations in the replays showing in detail how a foul happened. The advantage feature is well applied too by the referees, and is coo to see when the play ends and the referee shows a book to the player after that, not cutting the flow of the game.
    More tactics can be done now in the middle of gameplay, changing the way our players behave during games but be careful, because if you abuse too much of one tactic the AI that has been improved for cpu will read your play and change his tactic, making every game like a chest game.
    In resume gameplay is better and even more fun now, and thats very important in a football game.
    Graphics
    The game looks great and moves at 60 fps on the PS4, the replays are gorgeous and shows all the power of the FOX Engine, is incredible to see the likeness of the most famous players like Messi, Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Pogba and so many others, but dont expect that quality on not top teams players.
    Stadiums looks great too, specially the Camp Now where you can see all the details from the exterior area to the interior, shame the same treatment did not receive all the stadiums in the game. The pitch looks good from up close but in the tv camera for gameplay the quality could be higher, the same goes for players details.
    Sound
    The soundtrack of the game is a good selection of great songs that are or were a hit not so ong time a go around the world, but the list is not very extense. In game audio is very good, and you can even hear the voice of the players, coaches and the big sounds foe the crowd or stadium audio.
    Commentarys did add some new lines but nothing that will surprise you, is an area that needs an overhaul to be in the level of what players expect, should take some lessons from NBA2K team.
    Presentation
    This area was never the strongest in the PES franchise but every year is improving a little bit and now the main menu is very clean and easy to access like his competitor. The pre game menu is not bad at all but it could take some ideas from FIFA games.
    Licenses
    This is where the game take a few steps backwards, losing the licenses of La Liga and Copa Libertadores and Sudamericana. Sure there have been made some exclusive alliances with some big teams like Barcelona that really can help the franchise but overall is a big lost. For Playstation owners this is no a big deal thanks to Option files that can make the game just as complete as you want, not the same can be said for XONE owners.
    Conclusion
    In the end PES2017 is a great and fantastic game on the pitch, that really feels like a football simulator that can show you all situations inside a game like no other, the way teams and players move is the most close you will get to the real thing. Off the pitch there are stiil a lot of things to improve like inmersion to the game and presentation. Licenses is a battle that probably will never change but thank god to Option Files.

About Licenses, Because of Playstation OF its possible to have each team uniforms and club names; thanks to the community. For me 2 steps over Fifa.

    I do feel that all those people that stuck with pes when everyone began to jumpship are the equivilant to those now not playing it.

    What this games lacks in licenses and a fancy new career mode it makes up with gameplay. As you begin to play it for the first time you notice new ways to craft a shot that you just havent seen before, adding more strategies and moe dimensions to the game.

    My only downside of it is that not enough people are playing it yet so getting an online game isnt quite as speedy as fut.

Give it a chance to explore the mechanics of the different moves and playing styles you can produce in this and you will reap the rewards, and if you just want to play normally with no extra cream. It's still miles better than FIFA... And I thought that was alright!

    This is the best pure footballing game since Sensible Soccer. However, everything that surrounds the gameplay is out of tune with just how brilliant the actual football is.

    If I were Konami, next year I wouldn't touch a thing in terms of gameplay, and just spend the next 12 months overhauling everything around it. If they do, PES2018 could be the greatest football game of all time - as it stands, PES2017 is a flawed yet at it's core fantastic experience.

    Judging by the FIFA demo, there's only one winner in terms of the better actual football game this year, and it's the offering from Konami. Hands down.    … Expand

    A PES fan since PS2 days, hoping the series would return to its PES 5 glory. The King of footy games. PES first venture on PS3 meant I've just playing the FIFA series up until 2015, where the demo of PES 2016 showed glimpses of brilliance. I ended up buying both last year. Both I felt were good, but had different needs for improvement. Both solid 8/10. Very excited for this year.

    So PES 2017 having played many games.

    Pros:
    Goalkeepers are more intelligent, and have increased movement to the play

    Addition of high profile team licenses shows what PES could do if given opportunity to tie up more teams. The individual styles of play from tactics to individual player contributions is very recognisable. Cut scene graphics for goals are stunning, though the animations for each goal are a little repetitive.

    Spectacular goal scoring options have increased

    Stadium atmosphere for high profile licensed teams such as Barcelona is brilliant. The anthem and home chants really add to the authenticity.

    Cons
    The in play match graphics appear untouched, with pitch and crowd in need of the attention that cut scene goals graphics have received so well. Surely the greater attention should be on the in play match, not just the occasional cut scene found in a match.

    The ability to score a spectacular goal has become too frequent. It leaves an arcade feel to the gameplay at times.

    Short passing and shooting animations make the game feel quite awkward and unnatural at times.

    Movement of players both from attacking, midfield and defence point of view still lacks the AI that represents the complexity of modern day football. It strikes me that PES is representative of a football Mach from an era in time long gone. I hate to make reference again to arcade feel again, but it does still exist.

    Authenticity is always difficult without certain licenses. The team and kit updates from the community are fantastic each year, however atmospheres in stadium outside of the key licensed teams remain awful.

    Sound is amazing for the high profile licenses teams. The Barca anthem and home chants are superb. However, other teams, and situations around goals and fouls are horrific each year, and this year is the same. Commentary remains detached from the game being played.

    Online gameplay options are limited still.

    So, overall on PES, a slight improvement on last year no doubt. It left be feeling uneasy at waiting another 12 months to improve on the mentioned Cons that can be improved on. Some of the cons us PES fans accept in regards to the licences issue, with the focus on gameplay. The difficulty PES now faces, is the brilliance of FIFA 17 demo, which has arrived to a real surprise. It's the first footy game I've played that improves on PES 5 significantly. I've found myself down tooling PES 2017, and playing game after game of FIFAs demo. That doesn't mean I will ignore PES, as FiFA demos are renown for being different to the final game. It just means PES whilst the improving, has some serious gameplay competition this year, from a series which I thought could never compete with PES returning to near greatness.

    Overall score for me would be 8.5/10 for this years improvement Collapse    … Expand

Thankfully with option files you can fix a lot of those licensing issues (in some ways the option files make it better than FIFA since you can also include the real trophies and emblems, as well as get kits more authentic.), but the menus and commentary are still very much dated. If licensing isn't an issue to you PES will get a 10, but if you need the variety and flash of the different game modes and your football game to feel like a world game than those issues will hold you back.

    First of all, I bought the game, spent half an hour try to upload the option file, turns out there are limitations on number of images you can upload. So, I updated the Premier league, the classics, some la liga and a bit of the rest. Not cool.
    The overall gameplay is not too bad. I am one of the few people on the planet only play against COM. Myclub is actually quite fun. You start off    First of all, I bought the game, spent half an hour try to upload the option file, turns out there are limitations on number of images you can upload. So, I updated the Premier league, the classics, some la liga and a bit of the rest. Not cool.
    The overall gameplay is not too bad. I am one of the few people on the planet only play against COM. Myclub is actually quite fun. You start off the difficulty from regular up to superstar so you have a taste on different levels of CPU and how it progressively gets harder. In top player, you could still beat a team overall above 80 with you team overall 68. Once it goes to superstar, the difficulty changes drastically.
    In top player or below, you can keep the ball on your team, if the COM has the ball, you can pressure it and get it back on a timely fashion. Occasionally, COM will score some ridiculously goals on you but you will be 3 or 4 goals ahead, so no one really cares.
    Once you get into superstar, **** is about the hit the fan. If you have a 70 overall agasint 65 overall on COM. Not only you would not be able to keep the ball most of the time (from 70:30 to 55:45). A lot of time, you will have zero shot on goal. The COM's defence is insane, I play procession game and once you work you way through to the box (if you try hard enough), your shots get block. Change strategy to cross, could not even cross, the ball just get blocked or the cross is getting no where or cleared.
    On your defence, well, COM will manage to keep the ball so a lot harder to win it back. And sometimes, their ridiculous goal does matter now. In a hard 0:0 game, and at 85 min mark, COM just make some crazy passes either destroy your defence and score or made some crazy consecutive volley passes into the box and followed by a crazy volley and score.
    So if you are new, and going to play masterleague where you start your own team (which is 65 overall) and going to play champion league in superstar. You will get destroyed. Like crushed. So don't. Let's face it, your players are **** low TS, all others teams in the league are like 75 overall, in superstar level, you will be destroyed (I feel worst in this than in DS 3). Go play myclub and have a feel of it. You will soon realise your 80 overall team can win 70 overall COM but once your rating is similar or lower, you will struggle.
    For those who are cheapskates like me (don't spend money on PSN or buying coins). You could still farm a bit coins in vs COM cup or normal vs COM games. As I have said, once it is in superstar, it will be a lot harder. And my coach apparently needs 68 points to extend the contract and my friend, playing in superstar with an average team will not help you that.
    And also, don't be frustrated to get a silver ball when using the top agent. I get it a lot too. Likewise, the scout, I have used 3 of 4 stars scouts, I could still end up with white ball players.
    But the good things is when you player the white balls players enough, they will grow (level up) to like 75 rating at the end. But once you have 75 white ball player, might well use the 75 silver ball, why not?
    And winning is the key, because when you lose, you get 800 BP, while if you win, you get 2300 BP. You need BP to keep your players contract.
    With become a legend in superstar level. You will realise it is now like a real football, a lot of things are out of your control but it is also up to your teammates. I play a AMF so you can make a few passes. But if you teammates are not running into space and there is not much you could do apart from passing the ball away. It is a lot harder to score or to assist. You could not run the team over by your skill which makes it quite realistic.
    Despite my early whinge about the game, it is still a fun game to play and I personally would invest months of hours to play this game. Would recommend anyone to play.
    If anyone knows how to conquer the superstar difficulty, please let me know. I could not find too many posts on the internet. Either it is too easy to beat them that no one cares, or no one dare to go to that area. So far most videos I found is someone destroying the superstar COM with their Barcelona team, using the skills in the virtual players, not much from the actual person, I am afraid.

    When it comes to the Football, PES 2017 just does the mechanics right..

    1. very smooth and responsive movements
    2. Silk Dribbling
    3. fast paced
    4. Individual abilities on players

    The movement and fluidity is what makes this a very enjoyable football game. I'd pick this over FIFA.

    One of the best football games I have ever played. One thing who I dislike is the difficulty of the AI. I usually play on the highest but it still feel a bit easy.
    The graphics on some of the players are just outstanding. The animations are fluid and alot better from its competitor, FIFA.

Many of these game's issues are very little, but issues with licenses can be fixed with online files that can uploaded to the game via hooking up the USB in to the PS4. If one does not want to go through the hassle of uploading these files and one wants a more authentic experience I recommend PES 2016.… Expand

    I been playing this series off and on since it was called Goal Storm back on the ps1. We've certainly seen our fair share of ups and downs with every release over the years.

We've certainly seen our fair share of ups and downs with every release over the years. The best version I personally played up until now was 2009 but I think Konami have finally put it all together again in 2017. I know this because I cannot tear myself away. It's always "one more game and then I'll go to bed". I haven't had this feeling since PES 2009, considered by many to be the best iteration. This year they really put it all together. Well almost. The overall package really shines.

    Master League is once again very engaging and entertaining with a plenty of drama in the big games that only PES can provide. This mode is the meat of the game. Every match seems to play out differently and I've had to adjust tactics and have scored in so many numerous ways i've really lost track. Headers, Free kicks, corner kicks, one time blasts, crazy dribbles, hilarious own goals, and 35 meter bombs even! The gameplay is very organic and for the most part challenging yet rewarding. You will see your tactics play out on the field and on the surface things look very shallow. However, once you dig in the options available are astounding. You no longer need to really solely on speed. Great passers and technicians are once again able to make an impact on the field. Post players really can muscle in on the defense and provide aerial options.

    That's not to say everything is perfect. On the higher difficulty levels there are still some very questionable scripted moments, but I can live with it since it keeps the big games close. It can get frustrating at times, but the big thing that really puts it all together is the greatly improved goalkeepers. Even if the AI gets a great shot on goal, what used to be an automatic goal can turn into and amazingly improbable save by your keeper. It keeps you on edge and I've had some wild games that bring me back to the golden era of PES. Simply put, the gameplay on the field is head and shoulders above the competition and the Master League sim is finally engaging again. Also improved is the defensive AI. They will actively look to block shots in the box and in general do not let in too many of those crazy through balls as in years past. When the cpu goes with a defensive strategy, it is genuinely touch to find openings on goal. All in all, game play is simply great.

    The fox engine is a treat. There are some wonky collisions every once in a while but the ball physics are awesome. I love how players battle and jostle for the ball and the outcome of any play is never certain. Most players look good and the pitches are fine. Graphics are good as can be expected and the animations are fantastic. Wish there were more stadium options and some more dynamic weather too. That's just being picky though

    Adding in a player salary budget has added an extra little challenge to the mix forcing you to make some tough decisions with your players. You now have a separate transfer budget and you must manage both. However, transactions are fast and smooth and bringing in loan players is very simple. You can also add an option to buy out a player, so if you like anyone on loan you can put them on salary to keep them on your team. The youth team is back as well, but unfortunately one the big negatives is the Regen players. I just had Ibrihamovic appear in my youth team a year after he retired at a 77 rating. LOL, that is dumb and I wish I could turn the feature off.

    There really is only one negative I can give here and it's the lack of licenses. It is very easy to load an option file yet this really should be resolved by Konami in the future. We should not have to hassle with this and the game should be ready to go straight out of the box. Not that big of a deal and if you've played PES before you should be used to it. But it's time for Konami to pay for these licenses. That and the option to turn off the regen players would be a welcome change.

    However, I have to say that not only is this game a great soccer sim, it's really up there with all the best sports games like NBA 2k and MLB the Show. Good job by Konami. PES is back baby!    … Expand

The lack of licences dont bother me as there is a option file that users can download that sorts all that out no problem. I like the fact that the opposition adapt to the way you play in the game, for instance u keep going down the wings the computer will adapt to that to stop it so then you have to adapt your tactics to find alternative ways through. I find the online divisions very addictive and keeps me coming back. The negatives are the lag cheats, some people who are rubbish on the game will attempt to lag cheat at times to confuse your defence and keeper and that can become very annoying but not every opponent does that just a sad minority. The other negative is the percentage of getting a black ball superstar are very low and cost 10,000gp a go and you dont make around just over 2k for every online division game you win and you have contracts to pay out of that wich seem to come around fast, so basically to get enough gps to spin agents they want you to spend money on gold coins wich is 250 gold coins a spin and I think is just over £7 for just over 1000 coins I believe so no thanks I wont by them and instead have to farm in either sim or novice cup wich is very boring. I think there should be higher rewards as you go up the divisions but it stays the same and I also think there should be more v com taurnys added to aquire good gp, as when u completed all the ones there is then u get poor rewards from them there after. Also there should be a way to get the lag cheats banned, a way that konami can see exactly what there were doing with there connection during the vital points of the game, as them lag cheats are chasing people away. Apart from them negatives, I find the game a far better experience than fifa and highly addictive, I have played it every day since the release date and will continue to till next years comes out where hopefully the few negatives I have will been sorted out by then. All in all I would recommend the game and I would say build a strong team before going intoo the divisions online as you may find them tough at 1st but once you make a team you feel happy with the results will come and practice makes perfect.… Expand

And this problem is certainly not exclusive to the PES series, every other football game has this problem! Why can't the ball just roll to a spot somewhere in the field where there is no player around?

    Also it seems to me that kicking the ball towards the goal from far away is now even more difficult than before. I loved the old Uefa Champions League games on the PS1, where you could kick the ball at the goal from halfway the field. You would not score a goal that way, but at least you could kick the ball far away and with a bit of luck the keeper of the other team pushed the ball over the back line and you got a corner kick out of it!    … Expand

    The gameplay is significantly improved from last year. Here are the differences I noticed after playing for a few days:

    -goalkeeping is much more realistic. you don't see idiotic blunders left and right like last year. the goalies pull off some amazing clutch saves, but nothing outside the realm of what's realistic. it makes scoring goals feel so much better.

    -the referees actually call fouls and hand out cards. way more realistic.

    -career mode has been tweaked in a positive way. transfer fees, salaries, and negotiations are more realistic. you now have the ability to select a "favorite player" once per season which sets the player on a path to becoming a club legend. it's actually a pretty cool feature and makes you feel invested in your players. the final day of the transfer window is broken into the final 15 hours, during which any activity (ie signing, renegotiating, selling, loaning) takes up varying amounts of those hours. it effectively works to put a little pressure and desperation into your last minute negotiations.

    -the new tactics feature is just awesome. you can definitely notice the patterns of runs your players make in response to your offensive/defensive tactics.

    -offensive and defensive AI is better for both your team and computer operated teams. the comp will take shots and make passes/dribbles etc that feel like what a real opponent would try. your teammates make smarter runs and provide better support than ever. when you're on defense, your players react to the play with good understanding. depending on a player's traits and skills, you can really feel the impact they make to the dynamics of the game. it used to be that it didn't really matter who you set as your starting 11 -- now each player feels unique and can add a special balance to the gameplay.

    overall this game just feels so realistic. it's a big step up from PES 2016 which was an already fantastic game. I played a bit of the fifa 17 demo, and it just feels like garbage compared to PES 2017. FIFA players move like boats rather than agile athletes; the visuals in FIFA are far behind PES; the gameplay feels scripted rather than a natural free-flowing game. if you love soccer and appreciate the nuances of the game that make it so beautiful and creative, this is definitely the game for you.    … Expand

    PES2017 offline is the absolute best footie game I've ever played outside of PES 5 + 6. Online this is absolutely criminal. The gameplay is noticeably slower than offline and you can have better camera settings. The button lag is really bad, as others have stated the lag cheaters have started to come out of the woodwork again. The fact that 4 out of every 5 matches you play RM, BM, MU, MC, Chelsea, Juve, or Barca is appalling. I'll keep it because to enjoy master league but it looks I'm going to have to go back to Fifa ONLY for an enjoyable online experience and that really really makes me sad :( I literally watched my score go from 820 all the way to 695 all because I consistently play five star teams with ultra skilled players where the imbalance is always slanted to the better team. If you all can manage team imbalance and a reward system for players who work their way up with hard work as opposed to rolling people with Barca all the time then you've got a winner on your hands for years to come. For example in online competition it should be once a team is selected that team is no longer available. This will cutback on seeing Real Madrid six times in a row and require players to use another team and then it'll balance itself out. For Online Divisions you should have a MUCH lower score if you win with a powerhouse I'd say 75-95 points max you could use a powerful team to possibly stay up in a division if you need those 75 points as opposed to relying on them the whole season. The more skilled a player is with a lesser team it should count towards their world ranking and this would alleviate a lot of this over selecting of certain teams in this and addition to an on screen selection of teams between two players before a match would do wonders. For the lag cheaters anytime a game is ended for disconnection a point a piece should be awarded or there needs to be a ban system similar to the game Overwatch.

    I'd still give it an 8 on the strength of how well it plays offline but online they've got to do a little sprucing up otherwise this would be a 10. FYI I'll still keep my copy of PES because Master League is so enjoyable!    … Expand

If a game is touting it's features over it's on pitch gameplay then you have an issue, which is Fifa all over, especially the last couple of years.

Because IMO a football game should be about the football and the features are a bonus. If a game is touting it's features over it's on pitch gameplay then you have an issue, which is Fifa all over, especially the last couple of years.

    I have thoroughly thrashed through about 70 games, mostly on My Clubs and mostly against online opponents because playing opponents online should be the main goal of any football game and to deliver the best experience possible. This should be the foundation of any football game because multiplayer gameplay was one of the original core elements of football games and I'm going back to the likes of Sensible Soccer and The original Fifa even the first attempt at a 3D-ish football game and one of my favorites International Soccer commodore 64 and the first PES games which if I remember were called International Star Soccer or something very like that. This is only to name but some, there are a few I could ass but for reference I'll stick to the mainly known.

    Gameplay

    So let's get down to it, PES 2017 is all about Gameplay Gameplay Gameplay. The more you learn about the game then the finer points come out and like any football game, it's the finer points than can make or break a game.

    This game is 95% perfect when it comes to gameplay and I've had a vast experience with football games. It's the best football game I have ever played. It actually is enjoyable to play and not just a frustration fest that has become Fifa games for the last few years.

    Scripting

    The bane of many Fifa players :'(

    Well I can report in over 50 online games of mainly My Club there was no evidence of scripting. There were some frustrating moments as any football match but all with in the realms of just user ineptness and bad luck.

    "Special Match" Scripting Test :+1 There is a time in My Club that when two players of same ranking score meet each other, the game declares a special match, where 2x Credits are rewarded and it seems other items for my one game.

    The Special Match that you want to win was really the test for scripting with two equal players if the game favored one over the other for some reason it would stand out, like in a Fifa game.

    The short it was a very tight match with me having a slight advantage in my performance, I had more possession 60-40 and more shots at goal, my 5 to his 3. But we both had only 1 shot on target. But his one shot on target was a goal.

    Now felt I had the better of the game which the other guy agreed with but to be fair a draw was the fairest result but I ended up losing.

    But at least I wasn't blowing a fuse at the game robbing me. It felt a completely natural outcome. I even sent a message of congratulations to my opponent. But has the loser of the Special match, I was still awarded with double losing Credits and a Special Trainer. I can only assume as the winner you may get an even bigger prize apart from double credits.

    AI & Game Modes

    I lumped the AI into game modes because like Fifa there is an array of single player ones so your opponent is the AI. But unlike Fifa were playing Doncaster or Real Madrid feels the same when it comes to what the computer is trying to do. By this I mean, if you take the star players out the computer is still playing in the same game pattern and style but obviously the better individual players can pass and shoot better.

    AI and teams in PES 2017 have they own styles and it's very noticeable and clearly stands out even when only playing against 4 different AI teams.

    The AI will foul you and generally the correct cards are given out. Mikel just got sent off for two yellows.

    I also just had a penalty in successive games as Liverpool against Chelsea well, which would have been unheard of in last year's game. And I can confirm that the penalties are also better to take than last year.

    If you play a lesser rated side, it is definitely easier than if you play a higher rated side. As ever in a PES game, you know when you are muscling in with Emre Can and when you are nimbly dancing about with Coutinho.

    Rainy matches are different to play on, but not in a non-fun way as they were in last year's game.

    The keepers make some fantastic saves but you can also score some great goals.

    This game is top notch. Ignore the silly voting down by FIFA fanboys who aren't even bothering to leave a review.    … Expand

    The best football game so far, every style you can imagine in the pitch, you can put it in practice here, If you really love football, don't hesitate, this is your game

    Note: If you are a FIFA fan worried for the lack of licences, dont be it, the game is easy to patch. A shame Konami didnt explained this with more emphasis...

    Only negative I have at this stage is the game came out in America on Tuesday, I think most people expected the day 1 patch/updates to be out on Tuesday, not Thursday.

    As such, none of the transfers are done currently which limits someone like myself from starting a master league etc.

    Add to this the fact the servers aren't even switched on yet so you can't play online/my club, the game is missing a large chunk of its modes at the moment, which for someone in America is pretty unfair. Either release the game worldwide on the same day or have everything sorted for your earliest release day, its that simple.

    Unfortunately it starts the game off on the wrong foot, Konami seem to do this a lot and make a great game but shoot themselves with stuff like this

    If they get the servers online & the day 1 patch out on Thursday with all transfers sorted (don't miss some like last year) then it could well be a 10/10 game, currently i'll give it a 9 until these "issues" are resolved.    … Expand

    Yeah, the game is not perfect... but it´s nearly of the perfection. PES 2017 is the only football game that makes the real football happen in the pitch. Ok, it has a small number of licences, but there are mods, Option Files, and the major: a complete Edit Mode. Give a chance to PES 2017, you won´t be disappointed.

    Quite simply the best football game ever made. I have played every PES since the PS1 days and almost every FIFA and this truly blows them all out of the water. It really is a return to the PS2 glory days for PES. FIFA is going to have to step its game up a hell of a lot from the lackluster demo they put out if they want to out do Konamis effort!

It really is a return to the PS2 glory days for PES. FIFA is going to have to step its game up a hell of a lot from the lackluster demo they put out if they want to out do Konamis effort!

    Absolutely superb in every way:

    -Graphics are amazing, even the community created kits look great.
    -Option files are incredibly easy to setup with the added bonus of being able to pick and choose leagues/teams to add.
    -The AI is a challenge, especially in Master League, been enjoying some battling results with the default team. The AI plays in different ways, tries different tactics, it really is a joy.
    -Goalkeepers, a huge step forward from 2016. From the start they are a million times better. Animations, intelligence, everything.
    -Gameplay, it actually plays like a football game. Its not the frenetic through ball and pace fest of FIFA thankfully. You can play in the style that you want or that best suits the players at your disposal. Glorious.
    -Online. Not tried it a lot so far, been too busy with ML, but the few games I have played have been solid connection wise with no issues. Hoping that is a sign of things to come as PES has traditionally been difficult to play online since 2013.

    Basically, if you have a PS4 and love football, this is the game to get. Go get an option file, setup the game how you want to and enjoy it. Thankfully, the option file is a barrier for all of the squeakers that populate FIFA's FUT as they don't have the attention span to do anything other than put a disc in the console :) But for the rest of us who want a proper game of football, this is about as close as you are going to get short of digging out your boots and getting down the park!

    10/10, a joy to play! If you don't buy it, you are an idiot.    … Expand

    The bottom line is, it feels good to score goals again. You have to work in your build up, and I've really only had 2 or 3 goals in 3 weeks with the demo that I felt were crap goals. More importantly, I never feel cheated when the CPU scores a goal, and they've actually scored quite a few that had me watching the replays multiple times after. No cheesy headers, no scripted 90th minute equalizers, when they score you can almost always take the blame for leaving a man unmarked.

    It just feels great, and while it will always be behind FIFA in terms of licensing and the other bells and whistles, it is light years ahead in terms of fun and realism. It literally pains me to put the controller down, I've even been late to work a few times as a result. Thank you Konami!    … Expand

    Graphics are great , and producers made it easier regarding data import so licencies and kits is no longer a big problem.
    what still lacks compared to FIFA for example is the variety of game mods. This is a big reason for which many people still play FIFA even though they see the big quality difference in terms of game play. There are not many co op game mods in the game and the most plsyed game mode myclub has no co op mode, while if you play against a friend you don't lose contract playes level doesn't grow.
    There is also not possible to play something like pro clubs in FIFA, to have a club with more players playing co op, the 2 vs 2 co op is gone.
    While the part of licencies is a matter of money and ea has many exclusivity with clubs and is understandable that is hard to compete there, the variety of game mods shouldn't be an issue to improve.
    But al in all a solid 9 for the fantastic game play , the importance of tactics and how instant be seen any tactical change, the data file importing system and for the care that Konami has and fixed stuff every week and informs the users.(plus that most changes in the game are made after what people request on few big PES specialized forums)    … Expand

    So another year another PES game and now after 3 months or so from its release i think it ll be a good time to review the game with a cool head...I am amazed from the rave and reviews that this game gets...I am even more amazed from the fact that people believe that this is the best PES ever or that it is even better than the glorious PS2 days i believe that none of these people haveSo another year another PES game and now after 3 months or so from its release i think it ll be a good time to review the game with a cool head...I am amazed from the rave and reviews that this game gets...I am even more amazed from the fact that people believe that this is the best PES ever or that it is even better than the glorious PS2 days i believe that none of these people have actually played the game in PS2 as this game has no resemblance to the great PES titles of the bygone PS2 era.And here is why:
    1.Gameplay aint bad at all.It is by no means great or very good but it aint bad.It is ok.You feel that the players have a weight in them like actual human beings,unlike FIFA where they weigh about 10 pounds,you fell that they actually step on grass and not on ice like the EA's product and the ball feels like a ball.Not as an overinflated plastic globe.Match pacing is really nice and animations are at least adequate.You get some great games here and there and nice football stories.THe downside to all of that is that most of the time you feel like you are playing the same match over and over again.I have scored more than 150 goals with the same exact tactic.Low cross to the near post followed by a one touch finish.Rinse.Repeat.I always play with the worst teams in the game so it can e a little bit chalenging and not only it isnt but this game is way easier than the last PES if that can be done.If you make the mistake and choose a great team or a very good team then you can end the game 7-1 or 8-1 as every shot that you ll take can go in,or if it does not go in it ll go very very close to the net,it seems that every shot from anywhere on the pitch is a big chance to score,especially the R2 ones that are virtually unstoppable.Another bad thing is that if you lose possesion even for a little bit the cursor changes and your player freezes,even though that he has a chance to win the ball back imediately.The cursor problem is horrendous.Especially in defence where the AI can select the center back when you need the left back and if you press L1 then the cursor might go to the center forward for some reason.THe defensive system is bad,your team does not feel like a cohesive unit that tries to defend it rather feels like a Mario game where the attack starts from the easier level that being your forwards and progresses onto the more difficult levels and finally to the Bowser who in this instance is your keeper.Your centre backs are mostly out of position,your defensive midfielders seem oblivious to the runs that are being made by the attackers and your wing backs are constantly playing in a universe or their own.As for the offensive system...God..off the ball movement is non existent.I am a football coach at the younger leagues as a side job and every time i play this game i pause and try to swallow my anger.Your team mates are going all over the place (i cant even count how many times i saw my two center forwards together on the byline for some reason),your midfielders do not create space so you can pass the ball,your wing backs do not overlap even in the most blatant situations..i could go on and on and on,anyone who has played the sport on a professional or even semi pro level can indicate all of the wrong off the ball movements that your players make and lastly the "tactics" like TIki -taka and so on are poorly implemented.You can still play the same game without them.You dont need them to win or to turn a game around.
    2.Presentation:There is no presentation.Nothing.Same sound as PES 2015,2016 commentary is god awful,you feel that youare playing a generic match all the time even when you play a rivalry /derby game and the licences are still a huge problem.Yes it can be solved if you have time and a good option file but it is 2016.Just make the unlicenced teams a little bit more close the official counterparts.JUst have London FC wear blue.Not pink.
    3.Game Modes:ML is very blunt,very boring and not immersive.You have no control on your transfer fees as the "agent" chooses the amount,the scouting system is incredibly bad and you can practically make a team consisting of 17-18 year old free agents withh 78 overall.You do not interact with your players,you do not interact with the press.Nothing.You are there to press the buttons.I wont even write about BAL as i believe that there is no need.Read a review from PES 2009 and there you have it.It is exactly the same.

    Overall:4/10.I dissagree 100% with the "all that matters is the gameplay" opinion.No.It aint like that.The customer pays 60 euros to buy a game that excels in every department not just the gameplay.You pay for the game to have a great sound,great commentary,great gameplay,great and immersive gamemodes and great presentation.That is why you pay that amount of money for yearly realease.PES has an ok gameplay and bad sound/commentary/immersion/game modes.It is time to put the series to rest.Sadly.    … Expand

    Pes 2017 this year ok but bugs i don't like pes 2017 game Gameplay is too robotic and arcade-like. They make a good effort to try and seperate themselves from FIFA, but they need to make the gameplay feel more natural. Biggest downfall for me is the non-licenses.

    I m' a sleeper PES fan since the "golden days". Decided to come back to the franchise after many years of trial and...disappointment.

And the former of course. Konami did rather well and I enjoyed the game...And here's the "but" things: Digital football IS about the illusion of being there, participating. And Konami spills the beans in the "being there" dpt. Some goals are laughable, the refs are non-existent and permit the game to become Mortal Kombat in occasions. Graphics are really good up close, last gen when using gameplay cams, nice crowds. The general presentation is as usual amateurish (lazy Konami) ,the nets are again soft and wrong destroying the illusion of a great goal. Goalies are better than last year but not good enough. They still offer rebounds in a plate to forwards. Gameplay, fluid and a bit arcade for my taste but great for one vs one games. Overall, a real improvement over 2016 effort, kind of PES 2016 v.2, and a great game for winter's one vs one duels with friends and beer.… Expand

    Defense is worst than other years, when a player take your ball the player thinks about 5 seconds to react, why ?? I don't know because is not real to take that time. Other why the referee always give yellow and every struggle is a fault, you see the repetition and it not fault. The graphics are better but not enough to buy the game. Also narration of the game is too default and not fluid.

    Graphics wise its great up-close but not so much far away. The scoring is a joke, you can score from anywhere with the right player. The stadiums look fantastic and the ball physics ia great. The celebrations are limited and the commentary is wack.
    Overall its better than PES 16 but still not there yet as the best soccer sim.

    This game is rubbish. The interface, player movement and AI is just awful. They seem to be running on ice. Plus, faces and personalities on each player are unrealistic.
    The gameplay looks more simplistic and the ball physics may be good, but this does not compensate anything.
    Needless to say about the lack of licences which feels totally unacceptable in 2016.
    FIFA is much much better. Period.

    Game has a bigger learning curve than PES 2016 (with manual controls) but it pays off once you get used to it.
    It's much harder to score a goal - keepers often are too good - especially in one on one situations.
    Generally it's slower and more realistic. Still choice number one when compared to FIFA.

    As a long-time fan of FIFA, I hadn't try a PES game since the glorious days of SNES and International Suuuuper Staaar Soccer (Deluxe!). In short, the game seems to be somehow closer to a "real" football game. With FIFA, games develop in ways that you wouldn't expect in a real life game, whereas with PES games you think "that could very well happen".

In short, the game seems to be somehow closer to a "real" football game. With FIFA, games develop in ways that you wouldn't expect in a real life game, whereas with PES games you think "that could very well happen". The physics aspect of the game are great though some of the moves are sloppy.

    My main beef with this game is how difficult it is to navigate. Figuring out how to even play against a friend with the FIFA control setups, required a Google search. The lack of licenses is also frustrating. Even after downloading them and managing to have the actual names in (most) teams, once I begun a "Career", the changes were not there.

    All in all, in terms of the actual gameplay, PES is solid, fun and different from FIFA. It takes some time to adapt to the style but it is enjoyable. I gave it a 7/10 due to the inherent difficulties in navigating the menus and options. They are definitely not easy to change or understand. In the end, FIFA is easier to play, it has all the teams you love and, most likely, you and your friends already know how to play it. As such, Konami has a long way to go before being the best option.    … Expand

    This game is good but has its flaws. The good in my opinions are the customization and long shots and quite exciting matches. The bad is commentary is the same as 16 and is very basic and annoying, same game plan as if you pass in a zigzag shape you always beat the defense, you cannot tackle near the throw in line coz if you do it will always rolls out for a throw in.

The CPU never gets booked or foul me, and a local 2 player is a nightmare if you have loaded kits as it end up restoring back to default, online isn't reliable and so end up just playing against the CPU all the time.… Expand

    Outside the football field, things may not be quite ideal in PES 2017 however, going back inside, we guarantee you a football experience of utmost brilliance.

    If you can look past the usual scarcity of licenses (e.g. just two English clubs are licensed), you’ll see a great game – unpredictable, spectacular, deep, satisfying and engaging. It just needs time to show its advantages, because they might not be instantly obvious when you pick up a controller for a moment at a party. [12/2016, p.66]

    Strange refereeing aside, none of those issues are more than oddities and PES 2017 is a wonderful football game that just begs to be played. Give me another 200 hours and I'll tell you definitively how PES 2017 ranks against the series' best, but right now I'm enjoying it an awful lot. Fun yet unfair, thrilling yet at times borderline broken, but it just wouldn't be PES if it was perfect.
