    The football here is unpredictable and undefinable. Matches take on their own personality, depending on who is playing, both on the pitch and behind the controller. You are given enough control and room for expression that you don’t need to conform to best practice. Instead you need to play to your and your team’s strengths, negating the opponent’s and managing the tempo of a game.

    With individualized players, explosive tactical potential and unparalleled realism, PES 2016 redefines what a soccer game can be.

    So it’s official, last year’s game wasn’t a fluke. PES really is back to where it belongs: at the top of the league. [December 2015, p68]

    With PES 2016, Konami makes a statement: they are back in the game. And at the heart of this final mutation is finely carved gameplay, based on the traditionally precise construction phases of the series and enhanced by new animations and collisions. The result is a game which is, at last, very nice to play.

    This years PES reminded us of the great PS2 era titles. Gameplay absolutely shins this time around. Football fans should not miss PES 2016.

    It might not be the most fully featured game or the most polished. And the list of things to fix for 2017 is pretty obvious. But, PES 2016 feels right. And for me, fun beats features every single time.

    PES 2016 stumbles under the weight of all its divergent modes and duties

The gameplay in PES2016 is miles ahead of FIFA16 but its not perfect. The game still lacks of licenses and leagues, online games can sometimes be frustrating because of the lag and you can notice at times a 1 second delay, goalkeepers give weak goals and allow way too many rebounds, high scoring games are pretty frequent because of inconsistent goalkeepers,Myclub mode missing transfer market and I am not a fan of spending money to get random players

    Not all is bad I like the graphics and the fact that we are able to import kits for unlicensed teams which makes them look better than in FIFA    … Expand

    There are a few things that make this game unplayable. First of all, this looks like an UFC game, everything is valid and nothing is a fault.There are a few things that make this game unplayable. First of all, this looks like an UFC game, everything is valid and nothing is a fault. The AI for the defenders that are not selected is terrible, they literally stay still doing nothing, and even the switching the players using "L1" is terrible.
    No one said this here, and that is probably my fault then, but i don't know how to receive a pass in this game, i tried everything and every single time the receiver just advances the ball to much i don't know how is that possible.
    Lastly, and one of the most annoying things is the fact that an action stays for ever in memory. I never reviewed a game before but i felt an urgent necessity to review this game. Don't know how people can rate this game higher than 5.    … Expand
