FIFA 17 is an entirely different beast, and seems more concerned with helping players get the ball in the back of the net than much else. EA’s latest is less restrained than its predecessor, which much like this year’s PES focused on the technical side of the game. On the other side of the coin, there’s FIFA. It might only happen once or twice a match, but during those close-run games it’ll leave you seething. Players will be pulled out of position, moves will break down, and passes will veer out of play all too often. Player switching, pass assist systems, and shot and pass sensitivity are all over the place – even on manual settings – and end up souring the experience in all areas of the pitch. If the game’s revamped gameplay is an acquired taste, PES 2017‘s sloppy mechanics are a veritable slap in the face.
That’s no bad thing, but it does risk irking fans who’ve become accustomed to PES being the home of whirlwind goalfests and free-scoring players. That, combined with the game’s much improved goalkeepers and defenders, means it’s harder to score goals, and makes this year’s edition more about the build-up than the end product. Passing feels more measured and more precise, and the game’s star players feel uncannily lifelike thanks to Konami’s ‘Player ID’ and ‘Real Touch’ systems. This year, PES is slower and more purposeful.
What about authenticity on the pitch? It’s a tough question, because in gameplay terms the franchises are worlds apart.
