Weird that they're actually releasing a physical/disc version of this, considering how little they are adding.

I've just accepted that the game is built for 10 minute match length, and the defense is hit or miss at best. It's still 100 times less frustrating than FIFA.

To each his own. I've still yet to see a 0-0 match in PES, even at the 10 minute game length. There's too much space, the shooting is way overpowered, and the GKs are garbage. It really takes away from scoring great goals, because they happen every 2-3 minutes of real time.

FIFA has its issues as well, but I find it to be more like a sim experience than PES, and on World Class I feel like I've really accomplished something when I score. I like and own both games, but Konami's continued negligence on some of these legacy issues will eventually run me off.

Yeah, I have the opposite problem with FIFA. 95% of my matches on WC end 0-0. It's basically pick your poison.

Konami has got to figure out a better way to update and save rosters. Like every other sports game on the market has done.

It releases on April 21, but if you have PES 16 already, you can get it March 24th.

It is quite a discrepancy to say the least. I play 30 minute games on FIFA, and generally I find the stats to be pretty realistic. The winning team usually has 15ish shots on goal and usually I see between 1 and 3 goals per game, sometimes more, sometimes less. I just love that game length because I never feel rushed. I can play possession, and if I go down a goal I don't feel panicked to equalize right away.

Really my biggest FIFA gripe is that I feel like the CPU is given some unfair advantages on World Class and Legendary difficulties. Maybe it's just sour grapes, but it just seems like they press me HARD all game long, and yet I always seem to be the one with injured and exhausted players. I can still win on World Class (probably 1 out of every 3), but it's rare that I out-shoot them or dominate possession. I do feel that the last gameplay patch humanized the AI a bit, as I'm now seeing errand passes once in awhile, but it's still really, really hard to beat them on the higher difficulties.

If only we could combine the best attributes from each game......

Stade de France the only stadium???? Wow

I anticipated the lack of new content once they said the DLC was free for those who already purchased PES 2016.
