Pro Evolution Soccer 2017

Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 for PC, PS4 and etc. is Konami’s answer to FIFA 17. The Japanese publisher doesn’t own FIFA’s license, so most of the clubs and players in the game function under imaginative names, although the developers have paid great attention to rendering the players realistically, so that there’s no problem in telling the super players from the rookies. Konami does, however, own the license for Champions League, Europe League, and Europe Supercup, which can’t be found in FIFA. The version for PC, PS4 and etc. is significantly different than the edition for past-generation consoles in of graphics and technical nuisances, since the project was much more advanced on curent-gen consoles and PCs.

Mechanics

The developers aimed to render football games as realistically as possible, but not without arcade and strategy elements, which is the series’ tradition. Compared to the 2015’s edition, there are a lot of upgrades in PES 17. One of them is called „Precise ”, and controls the behavior of the ball during es. The system requires precision; the ball has to be ed at the right moment, and the player must be positioned well. „Real Touch” determines the way that different players control the ball. The changes are not limited to the ball – the developer has introduced some changes in the tactical layer as well. Apart from „Advanced Instructions” – a system for drawing up advanced strategy – it’s also possible to change the behavior of the whole team from offensive to defensive, thanks to “Total Team Control”, which allows the players to instantly react to changing conditions of the game. There are more possibilities during corner kicks now, and the goalkeepers have received sets of new animations, moves, and behaviors, making them probably the most demanding GKs in the history of the series.
