While it can be challenging to break down the cpu around its box, it is too easy to reach the cpu's box (that part of PES is broken). RIP PES 17 -- It's a shame bc everything else in the game is good enough to enjoy.

Kinda hard to judge this properly in a demo where another half of tactics are locked and can't be changed. Plus I truly don't find this to be the case all the time especially on Top Player difficulty. There are times when the Cpu is trailing or tied late in the match when they will press you right in your own half at a goal kick. Things like this force you kick down the field out of fear of losing the ball in your half.
