    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.

    PES 2017=PES 2015. This game really sucks. Gówno jakich mało. Nic się w tej serii nie zmienia od lat. Zasrane żółtki. Skrypt powielane z konkurencji. Żenada na kółkach. Szkoda strzępić ryja.

    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.

    This is my fifth title in the Pro Evo series. 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'veThis is my fifth title in the Pro Evo series. 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

    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.

    Это скучное дерьмо на 2а часа игры. Она просто ни какая, даже фифа лучше этого дерьма

    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?!

    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.
