Now that's more realistic. Saw the 9.5 on IGN this morning and almost choked on my muffin.

It's a really good game, but far too many key flaws to be anywhere near a perfect score, in my opinion.

Can't wait to play this. I just hope the AI puts up a decent challenge this year. Only thing that really blows is how my PS4 decided to break during the time of year when my favorite games come out lol

All of those sites seem to give the same surface-level type reviews, and it makes it seem like the reviewer played the game for like 2 days. It'll be the same when the FIFA reviews drop. They'll spend half the review talking up how amazing the grass looks, or how much Ronaldo looks and feels like Ronaldo.

Its like that with all sports games unfortunately.

Good review. Hits just about all the points that I feel most strongly about in the game. With some editing done on PC version, I feel the game could become great.

Easily the best review of the game so far, everything else I have read only scratched the surface of the game.

Re: PES 2016 Review (XB1/PS4)

I don't see how a football game can receive a "great" review when it:

* lacks any satisfaction scoring goals unless playing with manual settings;
* has serious referee/foul issues;
* has some major issues with defensive AI;
* every goal is spectacular that it becomes repetitive;
* one-touch passing is ridiculously easy;
* R2 shooting is really, really OP;
* legacy issues with animations, automation, and player awareness;
* still very limited library of animations compared to other AAA sports titles.

And that's just gameplay. What about:

* horrible commentary;
* lack of licenses;
* lack of stadiums;
* lack of proper rosters;
* lack of updates stats for many players;
* horrible menu system;
* technical issues with online play.

PES 2016 might be the best PES ever, but that's not saying much considering what this franchise has done over the past decade, and the only way you can consider this game deserving of an 8 is if you grade PES only against other PES titles and disregard what other games, including other sports titles, are accomplishing with the current technology.

Relative to other PES titles, PES 2016 could be considered great; relative to what we should be expecting in 2015, this game ought to barely receive a passing grade.

My only issues
- GKs are a little weak and need tweaking
- Shooting is overpowered and deadly accurate and needs toning back
- The ball hits the post and crossbar way too frequently. Again just a small tweak required via patch.
This game has the potential to be a classic.
