I received PES 2016 for my birthday and I really didn't have high expectations but my god was I wrong. The fluidity, the crisp passing and the smart ai make for the best football game I have ever played. Granted I wish there was something similar to ultimate team but apart from that this is a fine fine game. Score is well deserved!
+somebody13324 I don't get it. This games is one of the best football games to have been made in a long time. Thats my opinion though. But have you played the game, out of curiosity?
+somebody13324 The games actually good dumbass. Try looking at other reviewers and they are saying the same thing. Even the hardcore soccer game players are saying that this years PES is amazing.
From reading the comments of both FIFA 16 and PES 16 reviews, it seems that more FIFA players more salty about PES being better than FIFA this year than the other way round. I'm not siding with PES or anything, but that seems to be my observation.
+Rubert max And what are EA then? I'm unbiased as I bought PES 14 and that's the worst football game I've ever bought. I was sick to death of buying a game that has gone pp hi buying isince FIFA 12. And so what that Konami have moved to mobile gaming? They were making losses from their console games and making money from their handheld games, it's the logical thing to do as a company.
I like both games and play both regularly.If people prefer one game over another that means nothing about their knowledge of soccer/football.my dad prefers Fifa and he's a soccer/football wiz. We watch every San Jose Sharks game as that was his local team before he moved to where he's been for 17 years. Don't judge people off of what game they play,that's childish and stupid.
96 Bars I had just recently played 2 games of fifa, in a row, which both ended 4-3. I was all over my opposition with a 3-1 score before one bad referee call made all my defenders forget to mark, and all my attackers forget how to pass, leading to a 3 goal comeback i the last-minute. Fifa would only be realistic if football was played by robots who immediately switch off/on regarding world class, professional skill when the momentum is in/out of their favour, and if the same pattern repeated itself, many games on end.
A Dylan Pickle I'm not saying Fifa is better,I'm saying that what game you prefer doesn't show your knowledge of soccer/football. My dad prefers Fifa but he is a former soccer/football coach and we always watch his local team,San Jose Sharks every time they play.
A Dylan Pickle I'm not talking about the game I'm talking about the fact that you're generalizing Fifa players and assuming none of them have a knowledge of soccer
The licensing issue is just too big of a killer for me. NORTH LONDON vs MAN BLUE? It's cringeworthy and ruins any sort of immersion that you want from your gameplay experience. Say what you want about FIFA, but there's a level of authenticity there, from the kits to the player likeness to the stadiums to the chants, that just cannot be overcome in PES, irrespective of the gameplay. No thanks, PES.
nick kerry 30 mins of fumbling through files to get access to something that should already be in a game? Or 0 minutes in a game that has already has them? You tell me.
TickTak77 it shouldn't be in the game because EA has rights to them. more like you're too slow in the head to manage 30 minutes of your life to making changes.
MrBrightside LOL! Why the personal insults! it's a video game bro, don't be so SALTY LMFAO. Simple fact is that FIFA nails the delivery, presentation, and atmosphere in a far better way than PES, which has made some good strides with gameplay. One offers a complete package, and one offers bits & pieces of one. Now go cry somewhere else lol. Your lame fanboyism is embarrassingly cringeworthy
my favourite is pes 2008... its soo fast and you can shoot from far and game play is fun because players move quicker. these new ones have great graphics but the gameplay is slow, their movement is slow and that power pass feature is just annoying and delays everything.... :/
I have played FIFA 10, 11, 12, 13 , 14, 15 and 16. I have only played PES 16. Let me tell you something. Try both before you take one game's side. Believe me. I loved PES. It's way more tactical. The gameplay is much better. It's not OP in any way what so ever. It's as realistic as it gets for a football game. However, presentation (Menus), Commentary (which is okay) need some improvement which they will get eventually as PES gets more money from the sale of its games. Believe me. If you like quick, no tactics, arcade type but a lot of FUN game go for FIFA. But if you are tired of conceding stupid goals, not having any real tactics and strategies then you should buy PES. In PES the better player wins. In FIFA the better and faster team wins. Both are fun in their own way.
Ye that's it they cycle .. I agree pes2015 was amazing People go on about PES 10&13 but I didn't play them so I can't comment properly .. But pes15 was first PES game since glory days to officially become my fav PES :) But pes16 make take that title soon he he :)
Retsam Ecar I don't care what FIFA rating is I enjoy it Pes is just terrible I. Every way compared,to FIFA shown by the sale difference FIFA sold more on its first day in Europe then Pes has since launch
+Dan B Sales prove NOTHING. Are you saying that every CoD game is the best ever too? If u enjoy it fair enough, but don't judge a game because of sales. Sales mean NOTHING. E.g, Wii u my fav console this gen is selling like shit, do I care? No. Does it matter? No.
+Demetri Alexandrou sales does mean something and fifa is always wins sales wise its the ratings that doesnt mean shit I mean 9.5 its I laughable but it is what it is
They didn't mention goalkeepers or referees; both mayor problems to anyone who has played the game more than a few days. I've played 5 seasons of the master league so far, and I haven't seen a single penalty yet. The amount of tackles I can do without getting a red card is ridiculous.
can you customise pes ? I mean kits, names, players ? I remeber an old pes I had on ps2 that I could take a photo on the pseye and transfer it onto the player. can u do that ? if so I might get it. any help is appreciated.
+Reva R dude there is a new feature in PES 2017 where you can have every team real kits, emblems, etc. in matter of seconds, using a USB . Also you can easily change those names by going to edit and change them to their real names it can be done already in PES 2016 anyways even the commentary will spell their name. But this year it will be much easier. You can have any license of any League with edit sharing, which again can be done in matter of seconds. So licenses won't be an issue this year if you have PC or Ps4.
I'm a PES follower but any critical player would realise that the game has flaws and the shooting, no matter what settings are made you'll score 95% of the times. It's so bad that goals become redundant giving you that FIFA feeling. You know it's bad when that happens.
That's Superstar right! That's not the main issue, which is shooting. All the shots made by lower skilled players has the same effects as those made by world class players. It also doesn't help that the keepers are programmed on a level basis of Sunday league (amateur) players.
FIFA's passing is so irritatingly simple. At this point it just feels like patterns instead of playing a game of football. THE MIDFIELD BARELY EVEN EXISTS! I mean their whole purpose in FIFA seems to just be to send the ball to the wing, or over the defense. EA needs to watch more football to see that the midfield is where it all happens and find a way to shape the game so it's harder to do what we've all done before. L1+Triangle shouldn't always be the way to win
+C Cambridge Since when midfield play exists in FIFA?That's why I respect PES studio more for understanding the basics of football despite of occasional poor execution.
+TheKestevon lol exactly, in PES we find ourselves passing around in the midfield trying to find those holes in the defense, instead of ramming through it with ease. There's still a lot of problems with both games but PES is still number one right now
C Cambridge I hope sometime in the future they sort out the ball physics.Also they need to programme it separately from player's feet.It doesnt look realistic though as ball somehow looks sticking like magnet to player's feet.If I'm not mistaken EA has sort this out since FIFA 09.
Honestly the only reason I haven't bought any of this years soccer games is because I'm waiting for the career modes to be better than anything I've ever seen (kinda like 2k). I may be one of the few who just like make a player and make a name for myself in the league, but it can get really boring if they do the same things over and over
9.5 is too high a score but gameplay-wise this is probably the best football game ever made. If the shots weren't so overpowered, the online modes so unresponsive and the updates so late this would be perfect. But the gameplay is so good it's really easy to overlook those issues. FIFA, at its current state, is just no match for PES. These days it's just a physics-masturbation exercise with no real depth to its gameplay.
I bought the full game of this after downloading the free version of pes 2016 my club on ps4, I've never until then played a football game I found myself playing it so much I thought I'd buy the full game, I'll be getting Pez 2017 next amazing game, can not compare to fifa coz not played it
The only problem PES has is that they don't care for their pc fanbase. You get excited about a game of this standard being released for the new gen consoles and then basically seeing it as a ps3 port. Then as a pc gamer, you are left with FIFA that is basically the same for the past few years and EA looking to steal more and more money from the consumers, especially in FUT. Glad PES is showing gamers who is the king this year.
I guess you are correct about that but why do they not put enough effort into the pc as they do with the development of the xbox one and ps4 releases of the game? If I had to guess it might be that they do not receive enough money, or as much, from the pc fanbase as they would from new gen console owners. It is quite obvious that pc games and new gen consoles can run the same engine with the same features, gameplay and graphic textures.
But that is why I mentioned that they don't care enough about their pc fanbase. Just because they don't get enough money, they give pc gamers a version that felt like a port. Then they came out to say that the pc version is one in its own. It might just be that they released a version so that EA doesn't have the entire market share on the pc when it comes to footballing games.
To be honest this is by far the greatest game I've played EVER!!! Fricken addictive, fun and generally awesome! I have NEVER enjoyed playing any game so much! From a playability point of view it has everything you could want from a game. Konami have really done themselves proud this year!
My first fifa was 06 aswell :D. I really dont like the pes because of the graphics. Player faces are so good but the grass and the nets movement are like in Fifa06 :D
on replay's still players textures intermingling, so talking about body collision physics system is a lie, is only more advanced animations motion captured...
the only reason this is getting high scores is because those of us who played pes on the ps2 remember it was the best football game, better than fifa, pes didn't make the transition to last gen very well, so fifa became the best game, but i think fifa is getting old & boring, whilst konami are really trying to improve the gameplay, pes has improved but its not just there, i can see it being there though, the game engine on fifa is really holding it back from realism, i wonder how many people would say fifa was better if pes had all the stadiums and kits, whilst fifa had hardly, interesting point, but for football gaming fans from old days, gameplay was what it was always about.
You know you got a tough task as a game developer when your "pros" in a review is "players and clubs". that aside, I was positively in doubt whether to stick to FIFA or convert to PES this year, hopefully in a few years, they will be in such a great state gameplay wise that we will see PES as a legitimate alternative and to break the monotony of removing content to reintroduce as "New features" (shame on you EA).
Good game this year, not quite as good as 2015 but still good, Konami needs to address the goalkeeping and referees though so hope that Oct 29 patch will do it.
I'm a massive PES fan, in fact I only have PES this year and not FIFA (yet). One thing I wish these reviews pointed out is that the summer transfers haven't even been added, and will only be added at the end of October (1 month after release). Now I'm not fussed about manually doing the transfers, but you just shouldn't have to, and it's super lazy on Konami's part. The gameplay is great this year, graphics have taken a huge step forward, though some individual generic faces are still god awful (and hair textures have always been dreadful) - but it's certainly going in the right direction. I don't believe in the whole PES v FIFA argument, but certainly be weary of outdated teams if you're going to buy PES before the end of October. Also PS4 users are lucky enough to have the option to import kits!
+James Carroll that is incorrect, in team edit you can change what the commentators call the teams and Konami have tactically placed all the real team names there for the commentators
i'm a fifa player and one of the things that make fifa really fun (for me) it's the skill moves and the game modes that fifa has... i played the pes16 demo and for me it was really boring, just passing, shooting, run forward and try to tackle the ball... i don't play pes very well and i don't know all the controls but there weren't any menus for those controls if they even exist...
If Fifa and Pes had the same licenses ... Pes would've owned the football gaming market ..
TRUE

C Cambridge I hope sometime in the future they sort out the ball physics.Also they need to programme it separately from player's feet.It doesnt look realistic though as ball somehow looks sticking like magnet to player's feet.If I'm not mistaken EA has sort this out since FIFA 09.
Honestly the only reason I haven't bought any of this years soccer games is because I'm waiting for the career modes to be better than anything I've ever seen (kinda like 2k). I may be one of the few who just like make a player and make a name for myself in the league, but it can get really boring if they do the same things over and over
This year PES16 wins instead FIFA16.
Insert hate down below.
So many butthurt fifa fans
does it really matter what game is better some like fifa some like pes what's the big deal???
This or Fifa 16?
9.5 is too high a score but gameplay-wise this is probably the best football game ever made. If the shots weren't so overpowered, the online modes so unresponsive and the updates so late this would be perfect. But the gameplay is so good it's really easy to overlook those issues.
FIFA, at its current state, is just no match for PES. These days it's just a physics-masturbation exercise with no real depth to its gameplay.
This is really good Game thank god i didn't buy fifa16
pes is so much better, and it is getting better each year
the game play feels like rocket league
I bought the full game of this after downloading the free version of pes 2016 my club on ps4, I've never until then played a football game I found myself playing it so much I thought I'd buy the full game, I'll be getting Pez 2017 next amazing game, can not compare to fifa coz not played it
The witcher 3: 9.3
Pes 16: 9.5
Two completely different games
One is an RPG, one is a football simulator. Completely different genres so you can't compare their score.
Smart said my friend!
How players and teams are in pros?? They don't have those licenses!!
They have the player licenses
The only problem PES has is that they don't care for their pc fanbase. You get excited about a game of this standard being released for the new gen consoles and then basically seeing it as a ps3 port. Then as a pc gamer, you are left with FIFA that is basically the same for the past few years and EA looking to steal more and more money from the consumers, especially in FUT. Glad PES is showing gamers who is the king this year.
I guess you are correct about that but why do they not put enough effort into the pc as they do with the development of the xbox one and ps4 releases of the game? If I had to guess it might be that they do not receive enough money, or as much, from the pc fanbase as they would from new gen console owners. It is quite obvious that pc games and new gen consoles can run the same engine with the same features, gameplay and graphic textures.
But that is why I mentioned that they don't care enough about their pc fanbase. Just because they don't get enough money, they give pc gamers a version that felt like a port. Then they came out to say that the pc version is one in its own. It might just be that they released a version so that EA doesn't have the entire market share on the pc when it comes to footballing games.
If Konami fix the Goalkeepers and the Refrees then this game will be perfect. Im still enjoying it but these 2 things are kinda game breaking.
i played both fifa 16 and pes 16 and to me pes is just more fun to play
To be honest this is by far the greatest game I've played EVER!!! Fricken addictive, fun and generally awesome! I have NEVER enjoyed playing any game so much! From a playability point of view it has everything you could want from a game. Konami have really done themselves proud this year!
So then... pes2016 or fifa 16?
+Tommy Donati Play both demos then decide.
***** That's a good idea, thanks
PES16:9.5
FIFA16:7.8
IGN Logic...
+SuperninjaFIN I'd agree. Played FIFA since 06, and honestly, PES 2016 is the better, so I'm actually switching over this year.
My first fifa was 06 aswell :D. I really dont like the pes because of the graphics. Player faces are so good but the grass and the nets movement are like in Fifa06 :D
+SuperninjaFIN actual logic is PES 8.0/10 and FIFA 7.0/10.
on replay's still players textures intermingling, so talking about body collision physics system is a lie, is only more advanced animations motion captured...
Di Maria on United? pitty
John Kabira legend ever !! good times with Winning Eleven
Winning Eleven ....The REAL soccer king is Back !!
And Uncharted 4 got a 9
the only reason this is getting high scores is because those of us who played pes on the ps2 remember it was the best football game, better than fifa, pes didn't make the transition to last gen very well, so fifa became the best game, but i think fifa is getting old & boring, whilst konami are really trying to improve the gameplay, pes has improved but its not just there, i can see it being there though, the game engine on fifa is really holding it back from realism, i wonder how many people would say fifa was better if pes had all the stadiums and kits, whilst fifa had hardly, interesting point, but for football gaming fans from old days, gameplay was what it was always about.
You know you got a tough task as a game developer when your "pros" in a review is "players and clubs".
that aside, I was positively in doubt whether to stick to FIFA or convert to PES this year, hopefully in a few years, they will be in such a great state gameplay wise that we will see PES as a legitimate alternative and to break the monotony of removing content to reintroduce as "New features" (shame on you EA).
Good game this year, not quite as good as 2015 but still good, Konami needs to address the goalkeeping and referees though so hope that Oct 29 patch will do it.
does anyone still play online in the 360 version
im getting the game tommorow maybe i could play you
IGN gone crazy with their point system. I think the max is 15 now-a-days!
I'm a massive PES fan, in fact I only have PES this year and not FIFA (yet). One thing I wish these reviews pointed out is that the summer transfers haven't even been added, and will only be added at the end of October (1 month after release). Now I'm not fussed about manually doing the transfers, but you just shouldn't have to, and it's super lazy on Konami's part.
The gameplay is great this year, graphics have taken a huge step forward, though some individual generic faces are still god awful (and hair textures have always been dreadful) - but it's certainly going in the right direction. I don't believe in the whole PES v FIFA argument, but certainly be weary of outdated teams if you're going to buy PES before the end of October. Also PS4 users are lucky enough to have the option to import kits!
9.5 for pes but 7.8 for fifa?
yes you can change the commentery ign lool
the only commentary pes doesn't have is arsenal and west ham
+James Carroll they meant the commentator not the commentary itself
MoodiQ oh right but who wants to change the commentator? request i never the fans crying out for anyway 😄
+James Carroll yeah the commentary isnt that bad but sometimes it gets annoying with him screaming on every shot
+James Carroll that is incorrect, in team edit you can change what the commentators call the teams and Konami have tactically placed all the real team names there for the commentators
PES 10 Asian edition was the best PES ever but it was only in Asian countries.
i'm a fifa player and one of the things that make fifa really fun (for me) it's the skill moves and the game modes that fifa has... i played the pes16 demo and for me it was really boring, just passing, shooting, run forward and try to tackle the ball... i don't play pes very well and i don't know all the controls but there weren't any menus for those controls if they even exist...
