    I never feel compelled to write reviews on any site, however PES 2016 is the rare exception as I feel that it's my duty to warn others who are considering an update and are still on the fence. Speaking of updates, the squads feature the roster of the 2014-15 season, something which is shameful ( Cech is still on the Chelsea team, Falcao at Man. U, ect).

Speaking of updates, the squads feature the roster of the 2014-15 season, something which is shameful ( Cech is still on the Chelsea team, Falcao at Man. U, ect). One can expect many unlicensed teams, but to not even have strips that are the same colour as the real teams is appalling. There are even fewer desirable teams than other versions of PES, with the exclusion of Bundesliga (except for 3 teams), particular Borrusia Dortmund being the most notable. Certain leagues are present (unlicensed may I add) that would not interest the average player, such as the Chilean league and the Championship. The game is also lacking many playable features, something which Fifa is not lacking. However, the actual gameplay and matches feel more engrossing and intense than Fifa but even that is stress inducing. It is way too easy to score and concede and sometimes feels like an arcade, scoring straight from kick off via a through ball is not uncommon. Goalkeepers are atrocious, they parry almost any ball into the box and any hard shot which is on target normally result in a goal. This was also present in the last iteration of PES I have played, 2008. The AI also seems to be lacking, as defenders fail to pick up runs and attackers are slow to react when in offiside positions. The only major positive in the whole game was the training modes, both skills and free training are enjoyable and improve your overall game. To summarize, this is an outdated, frustrating game that gets tiresome quickly. Do not think for even a second that Konami are any different from EA, they both share a common disregard for quality. At least EA have a glossy game that feels fully realised.… Expand

    The game is about their licenses. Copa Libertadores and UCLs are the main attractive of it. The graphics are great too, but all the problem starts when you enter the pitch. the playing is glitchy, the commands are sometimes unresponsive, and the AI is definitely not good.

The passing agility gone better, but the shoots to goal still too unreal, and this way PES is built, play online is a running madness, play offline is frustrating cause the AI doesn´t reward patience and skills, all of it matters is be faster, take faster decisions, from beginning to end. PES It is not a simulation game, but fails too as an Arcade Game due to not be enjoyable and fun to play. Graphics OK, Continental Trophy Licenses are a bliss. but in the pitch. the game is not rewarding. Everything goes great until the game itselfs tragically starts.… Expand
