Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 (2016)

Konami hat im folgenden Jahr einiges zu tun. Das fantastische Gameplay wird vom biederen und angestaubten Rahmen leider zu sehr in Mitleidenschaft gezogen.

Another big step in the right direction

PES 2017 is without a doubt the best on-the-pitch football you will play, and perhaps the best in recent memory.

From a non-footballer, here is the verdict. Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 is a great football game and it deserves to get as much spotlight as the new FIFA. The unlicensed teams are hilariously close to puns, the customisation of players and the team management aspects are fantastic, if a little complex, and the pitch play is amazingly fun. With the multitude of modes and options available, it's worthy of this year's football game crown, and it's a must-have for those who like a bit of realism and meat to their sports games.

PES 2017 is not perfect, it's license-related problems are really annoying but still, it's an enjoyable soccer game. The distance between PES and FIFA isn't that much after all because of this valuable game.
