    great game, now finally with good graphics and even online is not so bad
    much more depth than FIFA
    I like how you have to build the attacking phase and it is not just through ball and run, run (ie FIFA)

    On the pitch, where it matters most, is where PES easily outshines FIFA. Since 2011 i've been stuck with EA and even supported the game but this year PES is back for me.

Since 2011 i've been stuck with EA and even supported the game but this year PES is back for me. Probably because i'm a PC user of course, but that doesn't take away from the fact that the game this year plays brilliantly. The passing alone is enough to make PES the best choice when it comes to feeling the great game of football. The modes are a bit stiff and loading screens aren't very quick. But playing a match can be so satisfying, or frustrating, that it feels like you wanna enter the pitch yourself and play alongside your virtual partners. The ball feels heavy, animations are fluid and realistic and your brain needs to work for a match to be won. I suggest everyone to try it this year. Stop looking for online modes, gimmicks and such and just play the game. Expand

    Best version in pc gorgeous graphics steady fps no lag on online so far. Coop mode is a fresh add on you can even make your own clan and play with others 2vs2 or 3vs3.Gameplay about same as 2017 bit slower which is better for me and passes are amazing.

    Napokon da je izasao odličan pes za PC . Svake godine brdo bagova i onda kao nesto stalno popravljate. Prosli pes 17 sam recimo dao 2 za pc a 10 za ps4, eto tolka je bila razlika u kvalitetu pesa, posle se popravilo ali dzabe kad userete na startu . Ove godine odličan pes i za pc i za ps4, čak mi je bolja grafika na pc . 10 za pes 18 za obe platforme od mene .

    La magia del PES 2006 ha vuelto.
    Y le hacía falta un lavado de cara. En el 2015 lo fueron mejorando, luego en el 2016 ya fueron moldeando la nueva base del juego, en el 2017 ya consiguieron un gran cambio y en el 2018, en mi opinión, han conseguido volver a transmitir esas experiencias de los PES de antaño.

    It's the best football game ever made. There is a new tier 6 AI difficulty (Legendary) which is really hard. Online matchs are good now, I'm playing with low latency (search matchs on My Team mode, it's quick to find)

    Finally, a PES/WE game on PC that's not a terrible console port... that alone it deserves a 10. Online play is surprisingly smooth, game play and AI are top notch, I've never experienced any in-game bugs that FIFA has been known for, the soundtrack is good as usual. A true footballer's simulator the way NBA 2K18 is to basketball. The licensing is the only thing that's keeping it fromFinally, a PES/WE game on PC that's not a terrible console port... that alone it deserves a 10.

    Perhaps Konami should make a World Cup-themed game featuring players who got caps during qualifying and have game modes that simulate the qualifiers.

    rá si PES es la opción adecuada para usted. Si eres como yo y disfrutas jugando durante una temporada con algunos equipos aleatorios de los que nunca has oído hablar, entonces PES puede ser exactamente lo que estás buscando. Con controles sólidos y una inteligencia artificial decente, PES 2021 es una alternativa competente a FIFA desde una perspectiva de juego, pero aquellos que será si PES es la opción adecuada para usted.

    The new episode brought some evolution. Greater inclination to realism is not always beneficial. Counterweight to great gameplay is missing licenses and poor visuals. [Issue#280]

    Finally, after two years of waiting, the PC version of Pro Evolution Soccer is on par with current console offerings.

    This year’s edition of PES is a really good game (the PC version is at last on par with the consoles) that has one major problem – it appeals to people already won over by Konami’s series and has almost no chance to convince FIFA’s fans. That doesn’t change the fact that I can honestly recommend it. [12/2017, p.56]
