" 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.

ok.... lol

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.
