I hope they improve the first touch controls to be similar to the way PES has done it in the last few iterations. It's such a smooth system. Unfortunately I don't see how they can do it without it being a straight ripoff of PES. I'd also like to see slow players (Mertesacker, Llorente, etc.) be viable options because of their physicality. This is also one of the few aspects that I feel PES has been doing a lot better in.
I highly doubt it. The PES 2018 demo shows that they still have the Champions League.
