    I just know one thing. without this japanese Rival Fifa does not care about Football Fans and give every year same things with update squad and kits. i play all year pes 16 with all pte patch upgrade. let's see what major improvement in pes 17.

    I just know one thing. without this japanese Rival Fifa does not care about Football Fans and give every year same things with update squad and kits. i play all year pes 16 with all pte patch upgrade. let's see what major improvement in pes 17.

    1. User Interface - trendy and easy to understand.
    2. player physics - if you play pes 16 you definitely spot it. player first touch, long throw, turn, fake shot. everything improve.
    3. stadium edit - add two things....net pattern and net build. some more turf pattern.
    4. player face - huge improvement, at least fake player look like human.
    5. stadium - only camp nou is new one. other 16 is same.
    6. hair style and player edit - everything is same like last year..but because of graphic improvement you found little depth in hair and beard. include some more beard styles. and i love it when i create a manager for my master league.
    7. stadium atmosphere - i found this is very similar to pes 16. nothing much change.
    8. commentary - same like a pes 16.
    9. lot's of young players with real face but some high rated players face is missing.
    10. work like a charm with affordable pc machine.
    11. lot's of new advance tactics like tiki taka, gegenpress, bus parking, touch to line, false full back, target zone.
    12. performance meter arrow and attributes colour change so it's confusing some time.

    overall this game is great and best for thirsty football fans. and if you not satisfied buy fifa... you have a 365 day.

    Some people are utterly butthurt by this game's graphics and presentation but the fact still remains that it's a very good football game compared to what we've ever had before in this genre.

    What really matters in a footy game? Gameplay, gameplay and gameplay. Does PES2017 have good gameplay? Yes it does. Very good, in fact. Do I really care about graphics? Yes, but it's not as

    In all honesty, a massive improvement from last year, much better goalkeepers, much better defensive AI, the referees are on point now, the pace of the game is closer than ever to real life. With graphics that at first glance might not seem to have changed a whole lot but when you actually compare PES 2016 to PES 2017, side by side, the player faces this year make last year's models lookIn all honesty, a massive improvement from last year, much better goalkeepers, much better defensive AI, the referees are on point now, the pace of the game is closer than ever to real life. With graphics that at first glance might not seem to have changed a whole lot but when you actually compare PES 2016 to PES 2017, side by side, the player faces this year make last year's models look like dolls.

    PES has evolved beyond FIFA, edit in all the kits and emblems and you get a more realistic experience no doubt.

    great game with great gameplay and thats what matter the most, not some graphics expecially when they are good anyway, but not as good as ps4, im not gonna give the game avery bad review just because of that. then i would give minecraft and many other games here zero. but i understand the frustration and this is something konami should fix as soon as they can with some graphics updates.great game with great gameplay and thats what matter the most, not some graphics expecially when they are good anyway, but not as good as ps4, im not gonna give the game avery bad review just because of that. then i would give minecraft and many other games here zero. but i understand the frustration and this is something konami should fix as soon as they can with some graphics updates. havent played the game that much right now but saw some new stuff while i played a game, great runs from teammatess and so on, and did score great goals on volley and one from corner. overall a great game that should look like its ps4 counterpart.

    amazing football simulator. those of you who understand football to its depth will surely enjoy it.
    great dribble system, great passing system with a nice amount of options, solid AI, and even decent goalkeepers.
    if your looking for original team logos and names, you should buy FIFA. if you like football games for the football, you should go with PES

    Des évolutions a saluer par rapport a la version 2016. Les graphismes ne sont pas au rendez-vous cette année pour la version PC mais je suis sûr que Konami se rattrapera l'année prochaine. Toujours mieux que Fifa niveau sensation de jeux!

La IA es la mejor que e visto en un videojuego deportivo ya que, en dificultad estrella y leyenda, aprende de como juegas para poder marcarte con mayor facilidad. en este apartado no se comete el mismo error que FIFA ya que la IA no es insuperable ya que el truco esta en no abusar de una jugada en especifico y variar conforme la IA se adapte. El online puede llegar a ser malo si dispones de una mala conexion o si el rival tiene el mismo problema. El motor de colisiones de este año es mejor en todos los aspectos ya que las animaciones en los choques aereos no se repiten tanto como la entrega anterior. Y por ultimo los porteros, este año se tiene a los mejores arqueros de toda la saga, se puede notar la diferencia entre un portero de 75 a una de 80, eso si como no consigas un portero de garantias y el rival tenga una buena delantera y disponga de ocaciones puede acabar en goleada.

    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.
