PES 2016 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

[ApolloKids]

I just played a game against Chelsea as Arsenal and lost 9-0 lol. I love PES and this game is light years ahead of FIFA but the goal keeping is just driving me nuts. Seemingly every time the computer shoots they score. is there a way to control your keeper or any tweaks that could help? Crazy.

What level was this on? I got smoked 8-1 by Chelsea, I was Man Utd on WC about a month after I got 2016 (played 2015 PES as well) on full manual settings.
I can't play manual passing on WC level against any of the top EPL teams. Scores of 8-1 (Chelsea), 5-0 (Man City), 4-1 (Liverpool), 5-0 (Arsenal). My defence needs a little work and obviously passing but I find it better and more enjoyable to play WC against all other teams then Pro against top teams to have a chance with pass assist 1. Helps me to have fun and still be challenged. This is in Master League as the bar seems to be raised here compared to exhibition games.


I have done lots of testing in exhibition mode (about 70 games) and ML is another level.

Played the game a bit more. Couple things that bother me with it.

1. The keepers are bad. They don't seem capable of stopping little dinky shots, this needs to be fixed.

2. There's also not enough crossing from the AI. Too many times they'll try to dribble the ball towards the goal from the outside. I see crosses here and there, but not many.

3. Not enough long shots taken. The AI seems to want to dribble as close as possible to the goal to take a shot, and I saw maybe a couple long range shots. When they are taking shots, I don't see many into the upper corners at all, they always seem to be low shots.

4. Oh .....fouls...where are they? I've gone games where there has been 1 foul called...or none.

This game has the potential to be so much better, but these things just bother me cause they do ruin the game play.

just started playing. if this game properly called fouls, it would be pretty nice. i am sure i will see some warts as i go along but some aspects are very good.

decided to start on professional for a few games since i have never played the xbox one version. i usually play superstar on ps3.

the build up is really nice. so far so good except the fouls. but i think that will grate on me pretty quick.

its so funny. i am enjoying the game, but do miss the fouls. i did get two fouls relatively close the last game called on the opponent. maybe the patch did a little. i have been getting one a game on each side lately.

started playing fifa and it doesnt call a lot of fouls either so its a pick your poison year.

i may go back to the cpu version of pes 2015. at least there were fouls. but both this years xbox one games have some moments of awesomeness.

if there are fouls in next years pes with this years game play, it will be a great game.

but it will be the same gameplay in 2017 .. ?! .. hard to believe ..
and what about handball .. ?! .. no exist and it's a soccer game from 2016 ..

I dont think you have to worry about that. People know better than to think that given modern sports titles.

I am actually in this forum consdiering getting this game, because the play in Fifa 16 was so bad after messing with it for literally hours I've given up.

But looking at other sports games - almost always takes some adjusting.

What slider adjustments would you recommend to a noob?
