    I've been playing FIFA only for the last 7-8 years every years, and finally got fed up of the same crap, so linear and never different. The community online FIFA is absolutely toxic too.

    So this year I decided to get my first PES - PES 2018.
    I have not looked back.

    I am now a HUGE fan. You feel totally involved in the game, much more dynamic, you feel totally more in control of dribbling, defending, scoring. Each player feels completely different, not like FIFA where everybody is practically Messi if you are good at the game.
    Plus the community is friendly, I always get complimented.
    I love the levelling up system in myClubs and the legends available in the single player games are amazing.
    Like any game, there's room for improvement overall, but I am 100% satisfied.

    To sum it up:
    If you drive a souped up Ford Fiesta you probably stole and ripped the license plates off - stick to FIFA.
    or
    If you genuinely love football and are really thirsty for a real experience, PES is for you.    … Expand

    Excelente juego de fútbol, para mi gusto no alcanza el 10 debido al pobre diseño de los menús, le falta también en la ambientación, en general al envoltorio, pero en cuento la pelota se pone a rodar simplemente no tiene rival.

    The game has lots of flaws such as not enough licences, no Xbox One option file ability for editing data, and getting black ball players in MyClub is absolutely random/non existent.

    Pro Evo 2018 is very well presented and plays about as realistically as you can get but the lack of licenses hurt its credentials and a clumsy interface as well as Master League being as boring as ever means it's not as mighty and flawless as PES once was. 2018 for me personally is certainly a step in the right direction in terms of gameplay and presentation but I can't help but think ofPro Evo 2018 is very well presented and plays about as realistically as you can get but the lack of licenses hurt its credentials and a clumsy interface as well as Master League being as boring as ever means it's not as mighty and flawless as PES once was. 2018 for me personally is certainly a step in the right direction in terms of gameplay and presentation but I can't help but think of the good old days of PES when it trumped all the footie competition and it was king of the sporting world, those days are long gone though.… Expand

    Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 is one of the most solid (yet least flashy) sports sims on the market. Every year, PES seems to further carve out its own identity and plant a flag for players who want a deeper, less forgiving, and yet somehow more familiar soccer-playing experience. Everything in PES 2018 is earned, and while some of it still could use some polish, it continues to take steps forward. How long it can withstand the tidal wave of FIFA’s recent successes and licensing dominance, however, remains to be seen.

    Pro Evolution Soccer 2018's gameplay offers an exceptional and authentic experience. It’s not a massive jump forward, but this year’s new additions and gameplay tweaks do a good job of refining what made last year’s game so good. Sadly, all the good work on the pitch is let down by tired and dated looking menus, game modes that are desperately in need of some innovation, shockingly bad commentary and the continued lack of licenses. It's a solid jumping-on point if you're new to the series, but seasoned veterans may find too few improvements to justify the price.

    PES 2018 is the confirmation that the franchise of Konami is evolving into the total football, with a gameplay that captures amazingly the details of this sport, and where the stars, the players, are astonishing real with a photorealistic style. It's a shame the lack of licenses, but if you really care about soccer, PES 2018 should be your bet this season.
