    When it comes to a one on one game, this is the best football game ever made. I don't see how their can be any argument about that. It's hard to talk about this game with talking about it's competitor or explaining when you got into each series to try and give yourself some credability, but i'll try not to.

    I do feel that all those people that stuck with pes when everyone began to jumpship are the equivilant to those now not playing it.

    What this games lacks in licenses and a fancy new career mode it makes up with gameplay. As you begin to play it for the first time you notice new ways to craft a shot that you just havent seen before, adding more strategies and moe dimensions to the game.

    My only downside of it is that not enough people are playing it yet so getting an online game isnt quite as speedy as fut.

    If your a true football fan you need to have this game, and i really dont see why you cant also have fifa, it's not like rpg fans would only get fallout and ignore skyrim.

    I've played the Demo everyday until this game release,and that's how good pes 2017 is,As a huge 10 year football fun,I've never played any football game that is so satisfying,so polish,and so realistic in my life.I had lots of fun playing pes 6 on ps2,it has only one strong suit:fun,and it nailed with absolute fashion ! but unfortunately the franchise didn't perceive during ps3/x360 eraI've played the Demo everyday until this game release,and that's how good pes 2017 is,As a huge 10 year football fun,I've never played any football game that is so satisfying,so polish,and so realistic in my life.I had lots of fun playing pes 6 on ps2,it has only one strong suit:fun,and it nailed with absolute fashion ! but unfortunately the franchise didn't perceive during ps3/x360 era and outmatched by FIFA ,but as realistic as FIFA was,it just wasn't as fun and satisfying as pes 6 used to be,so when pes 2015 demo came out I decided to give it a try,and the old feeling of pes just coming back,the satisfaction of passing and dribbling,not just scoring,is the reason why football is so enjoyable and beautiful,and pes 2015 just starting to deliver that feeling,it made me completely hooked like pes 6 did,and it helped me to feel the game like what FIFA 15 promised but didn't achieved,and it's at that moment,I know the konami is on the right track of producing a masterpiece;I know someday this franchise will give the same feeling if not better of watching a football game on TV.I know someday the king of football game shall return.
    I just didn't expect him to be this quick.

    This new PES 2017 has an awesome gameplay! I know that FIFA is improving its game modes, but PES's gameplay is unbeatable on 2017. To sum up, the game is excellent so impressed this is worth 10 stars installed all the kits logos off my USB.

    Stop buying FIFA and buy a real football game, that game is PES. The gameplay in this series has always been superb and this year they completely take it up a notch.

    Best Pro Evo since the PS2, absolutely trounces FIFA in every department other than licensing (which can now be easily solved by downloading and installing option files). Just feels like real football and not the slippery, arcadey, microtransaction-laden mess that is FIFA nowadays.

    PES 2016 won me back from the bloated and slow FIFA franchise, and this new version for me tweaks the successful formula, this is the best football game of all time, lack of licenses be damned. Spend 30 minutes patching it and that doesn't matter anyway.

    The King is back! Good graphics and excellent gameplay. The best things are the ball physics and the match pace, a lot better than PES 2016 and FIFA 17 DEMO. An another good point is the Adaptive AI, all the matches are different from the previous.

    Still the best football game around, and somehow ever better than last year's edition. One for true football fan's only though. Those looking for a more arcadey version of football will still enjoy Fifa much more.

    The best football game so far, every style you can imagine in the pitch, you can put it in practice here, If you really love football, don't hesitate, this is your game

    Note: If you are a FIFA fan worried for the lack of licences, dont be it, the game is easy to patch. A shame Konami didnt explained this with more emphasis...

The main of them can be noted in the Master League mode now has a separate budget options for each player and the way MyClub now allows you to hire specific lookouts for each type of player to replace roulette notorious.

    Best football game I've ever played. Give it a chance to explore the mechanics of the different moves and playing styles you can produce in this and you will reap the rewards, and if you just want to play normally with no extra cream. It's still miles better than FIFA... And I thought that was alright!

    Very good, miles better than fifa has been in years. The gameplay is immense and actual 0-0 draws are fun to play. The dribbling, movement and passing is beyond fluid and the tactics are very deep and can actually impact matches.

    Pro's: If you liked the demo / 16 you'll love it - buy it. No regrets

    PES 2017 is another step in the right direction. Konami thus capitalizes further on their strong formula. While not everything is perfect, the core gameplay is really on point: a real joy for lovers of football games.

    I'm playing the full game here in the UK (came a day early in the post) and I'm having an absolute blast playing on Superstar difficulty now that I can set the formation exactly how I want it, which you couldn't do in the demo. Essentially, it takes last years game and fixes the little bugs (eg lack of cards for blatant fouls).
    The AI will foul you and generally the correct cards are

Essentially, it takes last years game and fixes the little bugs (eg lack of cards for blatant fouls).
    The AI will foul you and generally the correct cards are given out. Mikel just got sent off for two yellows.

    I also just had a penalty in successive games as Liverpool against Chelsea well, which would have been unheard of in last year's game. And I can confirm that the penalties are also better to take than last year.

    If you play a lesser rated side, it is definitely easier than if you play a higher rated side. As ever in a PES game, you know when you are muscling in with Emre Can and when you are nimbly dancing about with Coutinho.

    Rainy matches are different to play on, but not in a non-fun way as they were in last year's game.

    The keepers make some fantastic saves but you can also score some great goals.

    This game is top notch. Ignore the silly voting down by FIFA fanboys who aren't even bothering to leave a review.

    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.
