Here's mine from Camp Nou event, embargo lifted so more should be coming from others:

Includes full match Barça-Atlético.

Really liked what I played

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Did they include referees this year?

 

[Fennec]

Let the PES cycle begin.

Watching some gameplay and the animations, a jerkiness is still there between the movements, the ball sounds like it weighs about three stone too.

Personally I would like to see PES and FIFA have a two year cycle to give devs more time, just release player roster updates inbetween releases

 

[Hedrush]

Lol

Thanks for the impressions OP.

Referees and keepers look...good? I can't resist getting sucked back into the cycle.

 

[Carlius]

too bad PC version is gimped version once again. FIFA HERE I COME!

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

So they got the Nou Camp licence. Nice.

Fifa 17 " almost fully licenced"

Positive as well.

 

[the_korben]

Thanks for the impressions. Alas, in my opinion the problem with PES 2016 (and 2015) are somewhere else and difficult to notice when playing only a few games using a preview build.

What they need to fix are the horrible referees (which don't give a damn about fouls but can spot an offside position of a few micrometers), the keeper AI and the absolutely abysmal interface and online connectivity. It is still amazing to me that you basically have to sit in front of "Establishing Connection..."-like screens for what feels like 5 minutes until you get into an online game.

Really thinking about buying the next FIFA after a three year hiatus since Konami apparently can't get their shit together.

 

[ChanMan]

Looks like the refs are back again, also ball physics and team defending is spot on. Still seeing far too many shots on goal from the CPU.

Facial comparison with 2016 by PS access. It's like whole generation different.

Quiet you, its been a better game than FIFA for two years now.

All Barcelona team has done a exclusive face scan session. If you notice the rest of the players look just like 2016. The new lightning play a great role too.

Might have actually been telling the truth about the keepers this time, look at these saves.

and these tactical options 👌 Can't wait to go full Klopp as Liverpool with attacking fullbacks and Gegenpress.

 

[Ocarina_117]

Previews seem promising.

I'm very excited, 2016 was a fun time.

 

[CaVaYeRo]

They just announced Liverpool FC as second official partner club Barça-style, including more detailed depiction, Anfield, legends:

Not clear whether Anfield is exclusive (don't think so).

Just seen this myself ������

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/merseyside-red-no-more-liverpool-11754084

The Pro Evo twitter account said: "The official partnership means unrivalled access, allowing us to represent them expertly in the game.

"That, of course, includes the incredible likenesses, Player ID and team styles we're known for."

God i can't wait.

 

[wapplew]

Shame PES didn't get ManU, it will make my decision so much easier.

 

[Doc_Drop]

Seriously?

Ffs Konami I want to play your game but I'm not playing an old gen game on PC. FIFA again it seems

 

[cabot]

Shame PES didn't get ManU, it will make my decision so much easier.

I'm the exact opposite, loathe ManU and like Liverpool.

#PartnershipWars


Real talk, unless FIFA significantly improve the game itself this year, PES will be my choice anyway.

Congratulations pool

 

[T-Rex.]

I was unsure on whether or not to get it this year, but that's made my mind up for me.

 

[Majukun]

so,what's the general consensus about the 2016 release?
everyone was hyped as hell before it came out..but after that i barely heard it mentioned around the internet

imo? Some good fun for a bunch of matches, lacked depth after first couple of weeks.

 

[SprachBrooks]

Does PES have the Europa League?

 

[LAM09]

Does PES have the Europa League?

Yep, but only the license for the actual competition. Only a small fraction of the participating clubs will be in the game.

 

[Got the Shakes]

For like the second or third year in a row I told myself I was going to be strong and only grab one soccer game this year, yet here I am with Pro Evo and FIFA both preordered again.

 

[PaulLFC]

Really happy to see Liverpool licenced. I enjoyed 2016 despite the flaws, and 2017 looks to have addressed them. Looking forward to the demo.

 

[Onimusha78]

PC version of the Barcelona trailer looks awful. At least nobody can accuse Konami of false advertising this year smh

Demo next week lads.

and partnership with Dortmund announced.

http://www.pesfan.com/blog/2016/08/17/konami-and-borussia-dortmund-announce-top-level-partnership-demo-announcement/

It’s nearly here! The demo will be available to those in North, Central and South America on August 23rd. All European regions will receive the demo the day after on August 24th,

Deus Ex and PES next week. HYPE.

This video really interests me, but knowing that 2016's online was pretty dead for much of the year really dissuades me. I was playing against the same people over and over again.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

but like is there referees? and keepers?

i liked 2016 a lot in game play, but it just broke down considering I didn't have to really try to score and never conceded fouls.

 

[SlickShoes]

The guy who deals with the fans Adam is a completely awful individual, treats supporters of the game like garbage, talks to people like garbage and literally sticks his fingers up to PC players.

I don't know what, if anything, has him so annoyed with gamers but I think he is in the wrong business, solely because of the type of individual he is and the way they treat PC players they can stick the game up their ass.

Sounds like someone that is well suited to being at Konami in 2016 then.

It's mad that the PC version is so far behind, why do they even bother with it?

 

[PaulLFC]

Will be grabbing the demo on my American account, can't wait.

That's disappointing. I got '16 from the US store last year and because the servers were region locked i could never find a game. This doesn't sound much better.

Ah well.

 

[CaVaYeRo]

Not only trailer, but PES 2017 PC vs PS4 screens as well...

 

[LAM09]

Some gameplay footage

https://youtu.be/6tdT5OXBw-U

Side note: There will be 28 stadiums at launch with Anfield & Iduna Park coming in late November.

Ah well.

just get euro version via PSN then... lots of people playing always.

 

[Robso]

No Bayern in the game unfortunately. Not even under a fake name.

Were all the players available to create the Bundesliga manually in PES 2016?

 

[wapplew]

Not only trailer, but PES 2017 PC vs PS4 screens as well...

Which is which?

 

[Suzzopher]

What! That's bloody irritating.

Last year it was no Dortumund and now no Bayern.

Are Arsenal licensed? As they are in the Barcelona trailer.

 

[GeordieMark]

Quiet you, its been a better game than FIFA for two years now.

Nah, that's wishful thinking. I hear the same every year. PES is like Liverpool; "this is going to be our year!" Followed by a mediocre season with the same old deficiencies.

 

[GeordieMark]

For like the second or third year in a row I told myself I was going to be strong and only grab one soccer game this year, yet here I am with Pro Evo and FIFA both preordered again.

I'd cancel the PES order. It'll be £25 by Xmas, as usual.

 

[LAM09]

No Bayern in the game unfortunately. Not even under a fake name.

Were all the players available to create the Bundesliga manually in PES 2016?

Nope. However, you'll be able to copy edit data on PS4 this year, which will mean full leagues will be available on option files.

Are Arsenal licensed? As they are in the Barcelona trailer.

Yes

 

[exmachina64]

Which is which?

Top is PC, bottom is PS4, I'm guessing.
