As players get more comfortable with dribbling, inviting contact and riding challenges can look beautiful at times. Piggybacking off fouls, the collision system is also improved, to the point where body parts (elbows, shoulders, etc.) can trigger the official’s whistle. In 20 minute matches, I have seen as many as 14 fouls called on the CPU - not counting advantages.

The “skip over the challenge” animation that was so prevalent last year has also been toned down, which helps to create more fouls. While some fouls do go uncalled, PES 2017 does a far better job at getting them right. In other words, they finally provide a solid last line of support.įouls were non-existent in PES 20, but they now have a huge impact on the game. Goalies have better positioning, more awareness and they have more animations at their disposal. From animations playing out in slow motion to awkward save attempts, goalies were visually and functionally subpar. In the past, keepers were woefully unequipped to do their job.

Happily, both have seen substantial improvement. There’s no better place to start than with two of last year’s sore spots, keepers and fouls. “The Pitch is Ours,” “Gameplay is King,” and other gimmicks have been thrown out over the years by Konami, but this year the development team has finally delivered on its promises. Thankfully, this seems to be the case with PES 2017.īy now, you’ve heard all the catchy marketing phrases about how important gameplay is to Konami. As news slowly rolled in regarding the 2017 edition, consumers like myself were cautiously optimistic that Konami would listen to feedback and create a balanced footy experience. Despite being more responsive all the while adding more animations and Player ID, PES 2016 suffered from end-to-end gameplay due to a lack of fouls and some curious/poor AI defending.

After the dust settled and the honeymoon phase was over, Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) 2016 quickly lost its appeal.
