PES 2017 Announced, Some New Features and Details Revealed

[Matt10]

I always get scared when individual, fundamental, gameplay elements become features. FIFA has been doing it for years, and look how long it took (is taking?) them. Now PES....seems like back-tracking, or finding an identity of sorts.

I'll remain optimistic though, hoping they get it right.

Would like to see:
1. A file sharing system
2. A stadium creator
3. Better balancing of save slots (e.g., manager, emblem, etc.)
4. Custom camera

Real Touch See how different players control the ball in unique and different ways based on where and how you control them, dictating the flow of the game based on how they react to the unpredictable movement of the ball. Precise Pass Combining Real Touch and real ball physics, passing is an art form in PES 2017. Many factors determine the speed and accuracy of the ball. The pass that is made on the best situation and timing will generate a perfect trajectory, creating a great satisfaction when a killer pass is made. Spoiler Goal Keeping Keepers see a great jump in quality through added motions and animations, creating the most agile keepers in PES history. Attacking moments will be more dramatic than ever, bringing the best feeling of achievement when that goal is scored. Total Team Control Users can instantly change the attacking and defending mentality of the team, which can be tweaked and carefully controlled with simple controls, being able to immediately react to the unpredictability of the sport. Advanced Instructions Strategies that are quite individually defined such as Tiki-taka and Tight Marking which is strongly based on team ideology can be set in Advanced Instructions, which adds a huge variety in how you plan to win. Corner Kick Strategies Control the defensive strategies on a set piece, such as marking zonal or Man to Man. Offensive options also included such as specific player movement. Adaptive AI For the first time in a football game, the AI will learn how you play! Player and team behaviour has always been a staple of the PES series, and for PES 2017 Adaptive AI will change sports games forever. Authentic Visuals For PES 2017 the visuals have seen a major upgrade, offering Authentic Visuals thanks to the further incorporation of Fox Engine. Nothing has been left untouched, from player models, lighting, crowds, pitch and stadiums totally revamped. Never has a game looked so real. Natural Player Movement Hundreds of new animations have been added to bring the players and goalkeepers to life – but it doesn't stop there. New features such as Real Touch and Precise Pass see huge benefit, giving a vast array of movements when trapping and passing the ball.

I don't know how I feel about that. It could be a very good thing or could be a very bad thing. One could interpret that paragraph two different ways:

(1) A very good thing if it means that my wishes for more unforced errors and more inaccurate passes by both user and cpu; It could mean no more passing on "rails" so to speak.

(2) A very bad thing if passes are even more accurate and precise considering the passing game is already entirely too accurate as it stands now. One can essentially ping pong pass his way through the defense or protect the ball and run the clock out after scoring 1 goal and simply playing keep away the rest of the way all game long.

Don't know if i should be optimistic or skeptical.

file sharing
More customization
Goal keepers fixed
Fouls and cards
Sliders
In Depth Career Mode

I they fixed or added these, might get me to come back to PES, until then I am having fun with FIFA still.

I don't know but I feel like I keep seeing the same features almost every single year; better passing, animations, graphics, control and goalkeepers. I mean, they keep saying the goalkeeping will be improved since PES 2014 and it's still bad. These could've improved over the years but still these had minimal improvements so they announcing these features does nothing to me.

I really disliked PES 2016 for several reasons, bad keepers, inconsistent animations, lack of fouls/issues with physicality, fast gameplay, too much space, not good defending AI, perfect shooting and passing, minimal improvements on Master League, a stale become a legend, lack of sliders and roster sharing, etc. They've so much work to do and I don't think they'll nail what they want to achieve, it felt to me that the game is getting more arcade which really annoys me.

Still I'll read any news about the game and will play the demo before making a decision.

Same box notes different year. One day, we may get fouls back.

Is the BPL license exclusive to EA or is Konami just not willing to pay for it? Same question for Bundesliga?

Do we have J-LEAGUE finally? Both divisions are what I am asking for just like the past!!!
