    Love the game style that allows heavy body clash, very smooth gameplay!

    Cons:
    * Observed in Master League, sometimes the uniforms of two teams got same color! Observed at least when Eibar vs Barcelona.
    * Separated transfer fee / wage budget, very stupid design! What on earth can do you when you have plenty of transfer fee available but no wage left?!

    Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 is a fairly good game, and in my opinion the best football game on the PS4 so far (I haven't played PES 2018 yet). The graphics aren't special and not as good as Fifa, but the gameplay is where Pro Evolution Soccer games were always miles ahead of the Fifa series.

The graphics aren't special and not as good as Fifa, but the gameplay is where Pro Evolution Soccer games were always miles ahead of the Fifa series.

    But when will Konami finally fix the problem with the passing? The ball, when a pass misses the targeted player, always seems to end up straight into the feet of a player of the other team. And this problem is certainly not exclusive to the PES series, every other football game has this problem! Why can't the ball just roll to a spot somewhere in the field where there is no player around?

    Also it seems to me that kicking the ball towards the goal from far away is now even more difficult than before. I loved the old Uefa Champions League games on the PS1, where you could kick the ball at the goal from halfway the field. You would not score a goal that way, but at least you could kick the ball far away and with a bit of luck the keeper of the other team pushed the ball over the back line and you got a corner kick out of it!    … Expand

    The best football game I've played until today. Inside the 4 lines is a very interesting game for those who perceive and like football. The graphics are good, the animations and the sound as well. It loses in the licenses of the teams and others, which limits the experience. But hold on! Personally it made me feel my first experience of PES 3 on Playstation 2, I do not know what but it did.

    Bought this Pes straight away because Pes 2016 was so good, as it rewarded quick thinking and intelligence, but this new Pes does the complete opposite, reward crap football, i. e. a slow game for crosses and people who lump through balls in the air. A football sim no longer for the hardcore football fans but the casual crowd.

My Club is very time consuming and finding an online match can take some time for an odd reason. The gameplay is very precise, but sometimes teammate AI can be quite dumb and senseless. Many of these game's issues are very little, but issues with licenses can be fixed with online files that can uploaded to the game via hooking up the USB in to the PS4. If one does not want to go through the hassle of uploading these files and one wants a more authentic experience I recommend PES 2016.… Expand

I like how PES connects you to the game of football through its unique presentation, music and gameplay. I will briefly mention the things I like before going on about how crap this is. So the positives are that It is an alternative to FIFA, has a nice selection of songs and includes UEFA Champions league License. I also like how they've release FTP version for 2016 and 2017. However, despite that, I don't think one should invest their time or money into this crap.

    Here are the bad things,

    Limited Licenses, Repetitive commentary, Lack of new game modes or changes. Lag cheaters, High level of scripting. 90% of goals scored through crosses or rebounds. No rewards for dribbling/skills or possession. Tackles are so easy you don't need to do anything, just hold a button and you'll win the ball.

    People who say that PES has a better gameplay are either die-hard fans who can't accept the flaws in the game nor have they ever played another football game, or newcomers or those who don't play a lot or the ones who casually play offline. The game feels smooth but it doesn't mean that the gameplay is superior. Some people also say that in PES you can control the midfield and play how you'd play in real life. But that's not true either, It takes one shot for the ball to go from one end to another. Crosses are so OP. Last year, it was the R2 shot. This game continues to have so many flaws, it is better to stay away from it.

    Now, the only way I could enjoy this is by playing offline or friendlies but it is quite boring unlike FIFA which you have to agree has better offline game modes especially the new journey mode.

    Lastly, I hate the general perception that many people in the community have that PES is for pros and FIFA is for kids or noobs. Or, how they'd quickly point at you after a defeat and say "Go play FIFA" These people are just delusional and actually are the real noobs. I hate it because I once was a part of it. I have mentioned FIFA a lot of times here and I will say that it is also a frustrating game at times but it is miles better than this piece of sh*t (pos) known as PES. I have given this game many chances in the last few years but I can't take anymore. So Goodbye forever!    … 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.

    A major step forwards from last year. More realistic than ever, yet it holds up a fine balance between realism and fun. Not a big fan of any of the "career" modes available. The trophies are as ridiculous as ever.

    I been playing this series off and on since it was called Goal Storm back on the ps1. We've certainly seen our fair share of ups and downs with every release over the years.

We've certainly seen our fair share of ups and downs with every release over the years. The best version I personally played up until now was 2009 but I think Konami have finally put it all together again in 2017. I know this because I cannot tear myself away. It's always "one more game and then I'll go to bed". I haven't had this feeling since PES 2009, considered by many to be the best iteration. This year they really put it all together. Well almost. The overall package really shines.

    Master League is once again very engaging and entertaining with a plenty of drama in the big games that only PES can provide. This mode is the meat of the game. Every match seems to play out differently and I've had to adjust tactics and have scored in so many numerous ways i've really lost track. Headers, Free kicks, corner kicks, one time blasts, crazy dribbles, hilarious own goals, and 35 meter bombs even! The gameplay is very organic and for the most part challenging yet rewarding. You will see your tactics play out on the field and on the surface things look very shallow. However, once you dig in the options available are astounding. You no longer need to really solely on speed. Great passers and technicians are once again able to make an impact on the field. Post players really can muscle in on the defense and provide aerial options.

    That's not to say everything is perfect. On the higher difficulty levels there are still some very questionable scripted moments, but I can live with it since it keeps the big games close. It can get frustrating at times, but the big thing that really puts it all together is the greatly improved goalkeepers. Even if the AI gets a great shot on goal, what used to be an automatic goal can turn into and amazingly improbable save by your keeper. It keeps you on edge and I've had some wild games that bring me back to the golden era of PES. Simply put, the gameplay on the field is head and shoulders above the competition and the Master League sim is finally engaging again. Also improved is the defensive AI. They will actively look to block shots in the box and in general do not let in too many of those crazy through balls as in years past. When the cpu goes with a defensive strategy, it is genuinely touch to find openings on goal. All in all, game play is simply great.

    The fox engine is a treat. There are some wonky collisions every once in a while but the ball physics are awesome. I love how players battle and jostle for the ball and the outcome of any play is never certain. Most players look good and the pitches are fine. Graphics are good as can be expected and the animations are fantastic. Wish there were more stadium options and some more dynamic weather too. That's just being picky though

    Adding in a player salary budget has added an extra little challenge to the mix forcing you to make some tough decisions with your players. You now have a separate transfer budget and you must manage both. However, transactions are fast and smooth and bringing in loan players is very simple. You can also add an option to buy out a player, so if you like anyone on loan you can put them on salary to keep them on your team. The youth team is back as well, but unfortunately one the big negatives is the Regen players. I just had Ibrihamovic appear in my youth team a year after he retired at a 77 rating. LOL, that is dumb and I wish I could turn the feature off.

    There really is only one negative I can give here and it's the lack of licenses. It is very easy to load an option file yet this really should be resolved by Konami in the future. We should not have to hassle with this and the game should be ready to go straight out of the box. Not that big of a deal and if you've played PES before you should be used to it. But it's time for Konami to pay for these licenses. That and the option to turn off the regen players would be a welcome change.

    However, I have to say that not only is this game a great soccer sim, it's really up there with all the best sports games like NBA 2k and MLB the Show. Good job by Konami. PES is back baby!    … Expand

    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!).

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

The lack of licences dont bother me as there is a option file that users can download that sorts all that out no problem. I like the fact that the opposition adapt to the way you play in the game, for instance u keep going down the wings the computer will adapt to that to stop it so then you have to adapt your tactics to find alternative ways through. I find the online divisions very addictive and keeps me coming back. The negatives are the lag cheats, some people who are rubbish on the game will attempt to lag cheat at times to confuse your defence and keeper and that can become very annoying but not every opponent does that just a sad minority. The other negative is the percentage of getting a black ball superstar are very low and cost 10,000gp a go and you dont make around just over 2k for every online division game you win and you have contracts to pay out of that wich seem to come around fast, so basically to get enough gps to spin agents they want you to spend money on gold coins wich is 250 gold coins a spin and I think is just over £7 for just over 1000 coins I believe so no thanks I wont by them and instead have to farm in either sim or novice cup wich is very boring. I think there should be higher rewards as you go up the divisions but it stays the same and I also think there should be more v com taurnys added to aquire good gp, as when u completed all the ones there is then u get poor rewards from them there after. Also there should be a way to get the lag cheats banned, a way that konami can see exactly what there were doing with there connection during the vital points of the game, as them lag cheats are chasing people away. Apart from them negatives, I find the game a far better experience than fifa and highly addictive, I have played it every day since the release date and will continue to till next years comes out where hopefully the few negatives I have will been sorted out by then. All in all I would recommend the game and I would say build a strong team before going intoo the divisions online as you may find them tough at 1st but once you make a team you feel happy with the results will come and practice makes perfect.… Expand

    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.
