    Excellent gameplay, Excellent physics collisions. Animation quality is very good, excellent ball physics. Excellent artificial intelligence. The different game variations. Much different than the players. Acceptable graphics.

    After years of this game could go back to the days of brilliant gameplay the PlayStation 2 era.
    But this game is very poor content. The game does not snow, not sunsets. Licenses incomplete. The number of stadiums to catastrophically low. Master League has problems playing the parts. For example, the Transfer Master League.
    In general PES 2017 gameplay on the pitch and is a winner all easily FIFA behind.
    But all is lost off the pitch.
    Poor content. And small gym. Stadium sound weak. Incomplete license. This game has become a game incomplete.
    At the end to say that PES 2017 is a game with excellent gameplay. But in the face of incomplete games with low content.    … Expand

    Pes 2017 this year ok but bugs i don't like pes 2017 game Gameplay is too robotic and arcade-like. They make a good effort to try and seperate themselves from FIFA, but they need to make the gameplay feel more natural. Biggest downfall for me is the non-licenses.

    I m' a sleeper PES fan since the "golden days". Decided to come back to the franchise after many years of trial and...disappointment. Well, the reviews are great and indeed PES 2017 is a great game. The best of it's generation. And the former of course.

And the former of course. Konami did rather well and I enjoyed the game...And here's the "but" things: Digital football IS about the illusion of being there, participating. And Konami spills the beans in the "being there" dpt. Some goals are laughable, the refs are non-existent and permit the game to become Mortal Kombat in occasions. Graphics are really good up close, last gen when using gameplay cams, nice crowds. The general presentation is as usual amateurish (lazy Konami) ,the nets are again soft and wrong destroying the illusion of a great goal. Goalies are better than last year but not good enough. They still offer rebounds in a plate to forwards. Gameplay, fluid and a bit arcade for my taste but great for one vs one games. Overall, a real improvement over 2016 effort, kind of PES 2016 v.2, and a great game for winter's one vs one duels with friends and beer.… Expand

    Defense is worst than other years, when a player take your ball the player thinks about 5 seconds to react, why ?? I don't know because is not real to take that time. Other why the referee always give yellow and every struggle is a fault, you see the repetition and it not fault. The graphics are better but not enough to buy the game. Also narration of the game is too default and not fluid.

    Graphics wise its great up-close but not so much far away. The scoring is a joke, you can score from anywhere with the right player. The stadiums look fantastic and the ball physics ia great. The celebrations are limited and the commentary is wack.
    Overall its better than PES 16 but still not there yet as the best soccer sim.
    No need for me to mention licenses as one can add option    Graphics wise its great up-close but not so much far away. The scoring is a joke, you can score from anywhere with the right player.

    As a long-time fan of FIFA, I hadn't try a PES game since the glorious days of SNES and International Suuuuper Staaar Soccer (Deluxe!). In short, the game seems to be somehow closer to a "real" football game. With FIFA, games develop in ways that you wouldn't expect in a real life game, whereas with PES games you think "that could very well happen".

In short, the game seems to be somehow closer to a "real" football game. With FIFA, games develop in ways that you wouldn't expect in a real life game, whereas with PES games you think "that could very well happen". The physics aspect of the game are great though some of the moves are sloppy.

    My main beef with this game is how difficult it is to navigate. Figuring out how to even play against a friend with the FIFA control setups, required a Google search. The lack of licenses is also frustrating. Even after downloading them and managing to have the actual names in (most) teams, once I begun a "Career", the changes were not there.

    All in all, in terms of the actual gameplay, PES is solid, fun and different from FIFA. It takes some time to adapt to the style but it is enjoyable. I gave it a 7/10 due to the inherent difficulties in navigating the menus and options. They are definitely not easy to change or understand. In the end, FIFA is easier to play, it has all the teams you love and, most likely, you and your friends already know how to play it. As such, Konami has a long way to go before being the best option.    … Expand

    This game is good but has its flaws. The good in my opinions are the customization and long shots and quite exciting matches. The bad is commentary is the same as 16 and is very basic and annoying, same game plan as if you pass in a zigzag shape you always beat the defense, you cannot tackle near the throw in line coz if you do it will always rolls out for a throw in. The CPU never getsThis game is good but has its flaws. The good in my opinions are the customization and long shots and quite exciting matches.

The CPU never gets booked or foul me, and a local 2 player is a nightmare if you have loaded kits as it end up restoring back to default, online isn't reliable and so end up just playing against the CPU all the time.… Expand

    fun game, howere the depth compared to the fifa games is very lackluster. The game has almost no real teams in it, as I can guess that they didn't get the rights to print the names on there. However, the mechanics are great, and it feels good to play.

    Initially I thought PES 17 was great but after couple months you can see a lot of flaws. The players are slow and studder too much. If you lose possession the player freezes and can't win the ball back. Playing vs the computer is brutal. All they do is slide tackle you non stop and fouls don't get called very often. Not as many fun modes as FIFA 17. If you are looking for one game thisInitially I thought PES 17 was great but after couple months you can see a lot of flaws.

    Outside the football field, things may not be quite ideal in PES 2017 however, going back inside, we guarantee you a football experience of utmost brilliance.

    If you can look past the usual scarcity of licenses (e.g. just two English clubs are licensed), you’ll see a great game – unpredictable, spectacular, deep, satisfying and engaging. It just needs time to show its advantages, because they might not be instantly obvious when you pick up a controller for a moment at a party. [12/2016, p.66]

    Strange refereeing aside, none of those issues are more than oddities and PES 2017 is a wonderful football game that just begs to be played. Give me another 200 hours and I'll tell you definitively how PES 2017 ranks against the series' best, but right now I'm enjoying it an awful lot. Fun yet unfair, thrilling yet at times borderline broken, but it just wouldn't be PES if it was perfect.
