    I was a PES fan once. That was a very ,very long time ago. Fifa is atrocious and I think the goal of Konami is to create an even **** product. This game is so bad that even when you are winning you feel the scripting in work. The referees are pure embarrassment , the goalkeepers are a **** joke, the collision detection is in the game only to handicap you. But I just can't get over theI was a PES fan once.

It is better than the abysmal, hellish, piece of crap PES 2016 but it is just slightly above the average. I just hope both Konami and EA get bankrupt so someone else can try making a football game because their products are utter and complete disappointment. And I am very generous by giving it a 6.… Expand

    Have been playing PES since PES2010, before which I used to play just Fifa series. It was the game play which switched me from FIFA to PES, so yeah I don't give a **** about graphics anyways.

    The strength of PES lies in its gameplay. If you are about graphics, stadiums, fan chants or commentary..please stick with FIFA series rather than ranting on Konami for giving us a bad game.

    The strength of PES lies in its gameplay. If you are about graphics, stadiums, fan chants or commentary..please stick with FIFA series rather than ranting on Konami for giving us a bad game. It's not bad at all on PC. The only con for me was the bad optimization on the PC version as it stutters even for good configured PCs. I have fixed them using a 3rd party software..which is the only reason I find to hate this game.It was same with PES 2016 and that's why I give it a 7/10. In terms of gameplay, this is THE BEST football game produced till today, even the critics say that and for each port including PC.

    Coming back to rant boys, didn't we all use to say that PES6 was the best and Konami should develop something similar? Now when they have actually surpassed PES6 with PES16 and now one step further with PES17 why are we complaining? This is a company which is struggling to cope up with restrained budget and EA is forever increasing its arm-twisting for licensed leagues, stadiums and teams. Still they come out each year with a beautiful game which ALWAYS plays better than Fifa. We should be actually supporting them when they need us. If PES goes dead..EA will be a monopoly with FIFA series and we might be worse off.

    Criticise where it needs criticism. Like the optimization on PC, online servers etc. Stop complaining about graphics or just buy a console or switch to FIFA series.    … Expand

    PES 2017 is an invitation to the best virtual soccer you've seen in years, if you're willing to overlook the lack of official licenses and some annoying technical glitches.

    The PC version of Pro Evo stayed way behind the console editions and obviously exists only to squeeze some cash out of fans. Don’t buy it – either try FIFA 17 or keep playing PES 2016. It seems we need to wait until Pro Evo PC’s corpse decays completely and turns to dust to see it thoroughly overhauled. [12/2016, p.67]

    The changes in gameplay are welcome and the super-defenders need a bit more effort to beat, but overall the changes are minimal. We have again the same "last-gen" version of Fox Engine, while the console counterparts enjoy upgraded visuals. With this installment of PES, KONAMI makes a clear statement that it doesn't care about the PC community.
