Similarly, I see Welbeck redirect a knee-height cross narrowly over with a clever heel flick. PES 2017 makes fantastic use of contextual animations, too: when I hold the button to shoot with Torres but the ball arrives behind him, he instinctively attempts to backheel it goalwards. Now it’s truly possible to drill shots into all four corners of the goal. In PES 2016 I found it hard to get true lift into my pops at goal if felt that the game needed me to keep the ball low in order to score. Like the passing, it feels entirely natural, and awards you the sense that you’re in control of professionals. There are matches where I carve out delicate, incisive passing moves and repeatedly threaten with my wide men, without ever needing to lay a thumb on the right stick. Genuinely intricate, accurate passing enables you to recycle possession in tight areas while waiting to unleash a killer ball to your centre forward or overlapping full-back, and that upgraded control means you can truly beat an opponent – beat a succession of opponents – using sudden changes of pace, or deft turns. Where PES 2017 really shines is in the final third of the pitch.
Now aerial trajectories look and feel just right, while there's a seamlessness to trapping and running with the ball, headers, deflections, everything really. The little stutter each time a player took a touch when dribbling similarly dampened authenticity. In PES 2016, my immersion wavered every time a goal kick took on the trajectory of a beach ball once off the ground. In PES 2017, under- or overhit a similar pass and the recipient might need an extra split-second to trap it, but I see zero balls spanged out of play due to slightly imprecise controller inputs.īall physics have also improved markedly. So whereas in FIFA 16 a diagonal pass from, say, centre back to right midfielder might fly out of play if you didn’t get the intended angle perfect via the left stick, PES is more forgiving. Konami is bigging up improved passing precision and ball control this year, and it is right to: players truly caress the ball to one another, and the game engine does a sublime job of facilitating your attempts to play dreamboat football.

(And I write that as someone who has chosen FIFA over PES for the entirety of the PS3 and PS4 eras.)Ī small caveat: so far, I've only been able to play as four teams: Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, France, and Germany. On the evidence of my hands-on – four hours behind closed doors at Konami – it plays a wonderful game of football.

You’re right that the PS3 years weren’t overly kind to Pro Evo, but it’s been enjoying a renaissance over the last two seasons, and PES 2017 feels like the happy culmination of a three-year rebuilding project.
