PES 2016 Review (XB1/PS4)

11:09 AM - September 21, 2015 by RaychelSnr

On the surface, Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) 2016 looks a lot like the 2015 version which won various awards (IGN Best Sports Game of 2014 & 2015 Gamescom Best Sports Game) and received an “8.0” from this very site. It’s not until you spend a little bit of time with it that you fully realize the improvements the team over at Konami made to this proud franchise. From the initial kick-off to the final blow of the whistle, there’s a lot in between to satisfy your yearly footy fix.

The possibilities would be amazing, just imagine all of the potential classic rosters that would be available.

I still don't understand how Konami has the La Liga license but can't use real stadiums. Playing in La Liga in PES 2013 with all the real stadiums was incredible.

I made a post in the FIFA forum in a thread about the UCL License that basically said I have no idea why they don't have classic or "Live" matches like EA does with their "game of the week" feature. I know they do Live Updates but there's so much more that could be done with that license and they just waste it IMO.

I know EA bought all license for the stadiums but it is a weird deal honestly. I still think PES 13 was one of my favorite PES games, the only problem was they killed Master League in that game with that terrible "unlocking boots" stuff.

i honestly cannot believe this game gets dinged for fouls and historically fifa rarely had fouls and it always was given a free pass and it was never mentioned both here and throughout all review sites.

i am not saying i disagree with the review of this game. i am just blown away. and before i get flamed, read all fifa reviews going back forever. if it is mentioned, its rare and it was never dinged for it.

I brought something similar up before in a post last week and stated that Fifa only started getting fouls right last year. I just look at it as a new standard, when you bring in new animations the look so well and represent the physicality of Football I think it is fair to also have a nice representation of fouls as well.

Yeah, I'm fairly certain I could dribble through the midfield and at least get a shot on target with a 70+ rated keeper 3-4 times a match if I attempted it over and over, lol. The game has its issues.

The corrupt review sites write:
"An utterly essential purchase. PES 2016 is the best there is, and the best there's been in a very long time."
"PES 16 is easily the best title in the franchise."
"PES 2016 is a stunning football simulation."
"PES 2016 redefines what a soccer game can be. "
"The best football sim to date. "
And my personal, hilarious fave:
" Pro Evolution Soccer is finally back to its best, in what is undoubtedly one of the greatest sports games of all-time."

But what they don't tell you:
Catch up bug is still there.
Fatigue is still broken.
Goalies are crap.

PES = P.O.S.

Wow i just did this with the goal keeper, and scored on my first try. Damn, this kinda made me think about not playing much more of pes16. This really needs to be fixed ASAP

Even with the gameplay issues, and the post-launch fiasco overall, playing FIFA 16 for a while now really has driven home just how much fun and engaging PES is by comparison. What it lacks in terms of authenticity or consistency, it more than makes up for everywhere else. UT addicts aside, I feel like if every soccer gamer gave both games an honest look, they'd realize this franchise is headed for exciting things. EA is going to need to up there game in the next few years, because the same old same old won't (or shouldn't) be good enough.

Honestly I have to give PES 16 more time as I haven't played it enough since it came out. I still don't plan on playing until they release that first data pack but I do believe the gameplay is pretty solid at it's core.

I feel the same way. I've edited the kits (pesworld.co.uk) but I cannot bring myself to give it much time it until the first data pack drops. I have played a few exhibition matches to check out the kits, especially my beloved Nottingham Forest kits (which are pretty smart).

Its a real shame they couldn't get the data pack out earlier as they would have had more sales. I personally always buy both games as Football/Soccer is my passion.
