PS3 PES 2017

 

There are four big gameplay innovations coming to PES 2017.

Firstly you've got the goalies. In previous PES games they've been quite the source of negativity, but in PES 2017 it's a very different story. Suddenly they feel like the players they're meant to represent. Tottenham's Lloris is capable of acrobatic feats, while Bayern Munich's Neuer is all hands and feet as you'd expect.

Then you've got the changes coming to each team overall. Konami has successfully managed to move the game away from the arcadey style it's known for, making ball physics and player touch to slow the game down and make it feel like you're playing as the team whose badge is on the shirt (or the?PES?variation of anyway).?Statistical attributes and position now really play their part.

PES 2017 will also offer kit editing too, so you can put the right badge on the right kit.

Thirdly, Konami has worked hard to bring all the tactical maneuvers into the game for PES 2017. Under the setting "Advanced Instructions", you can assign the four D-pad buttons to two attacking and two defending strategies from a lengthy checklist.

Those include Barcelona's Tika-Taka possession techniques and Jrgen Klopp's Gegenpressing in defence.

Finally, there's the AI. The official term is "Adaptive AI" and it makes a subtle but impressive difference to the gameplay. If you overuse a player or goal route too much, the AI team will shift to compensate, forcing you to change your tactics.

Of course, as you'd expect from a new year of?PES, there's been advancements in graphics too both in-game and in terms of the UI. There's much better facial likenesses and animations, night-time effects are significantly boosted and the crowd finally looks alive and reactive.
