From top to bottom, PES Productions has worked to make every single thing about PES 2017’s gameplay feel fluid and on the pitch, there has never been a more true to life representation of the sport. chasing after players who aren’t relevant to the play, instead focusing on marking your man on set pieces is a real challenge in trying too limit your opponents ability to score. Defensively, there is no need to worry about shoddy A.I. Attacking play has to be built up, with passes bring strung together precisely and runs being timed just right in order to get a chance on goal. Defenses aren’t made of swiss cheese that holes can be poked through with one or two passes. Whether you’re building play up from the back or running free flowing attack football, having your team running on all cylinders has never been more rewarding than in this year’s PES. The beautiful gameplay in the PES 2017 is something that cannot be overstated enough. While FIFA might have all of the bells and whistles that money can buy, the amount of dedication the developers at PES Productions have put forth into making game of virtual football feel as realistic as they can is what makes PES 2017 a worthwhile endeavor. The one area where PES can compete, however, is in pure unadulterated gameplay. Year after year the lack of licensing deals that bring official clubs, players and stadiums to the game has made PES feel like the off brand counterpart to its biggest rival. It’s safe to say that for the past few years Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer franchise has played second fiddle to EA’s FIFA within the genre.
