For the love of God, Konami, change the record. Although saying that, it only just pips Peter Drury and Jim Beglin’s insipid commentary to the post. Sure, you can edit teams with an easily-downloaded Option file to match their real-life logos and rosters, but it’s still one of the franchise’s most glaring flaws. It feels like I’m flogging a dead horse, but for all of PES’ undeniable polish, Champions and Europa League licenses, and exclusive partnerships with clubs like Liverpool and Barcelona there’s still nothing more laughable than starting a Master League campaign against opponents including London FC (Chelsea), PM Black White (Juventus), and MD White (Real Madrid). In PES’ case, the unthinkable capitulation comes takes the form of sloppy mechanics, endlessly frustrating UIs, and all too familiar licensing issues. It’s three goals up in the final, and nobody’s even whispering the world comeback. To wheel back around to my previous metaphor, then.

After all, I said PES 2017 doesn’t measure up to its predecessor, but as it stands there isn’t a cloud in sight. You might be a bit confused at the moment. Although some might find they need more time to adjust to PES’ new look defences. It’s not a cause for complaint, it’s just different. I know for a fact that some of my close-run wins in PES 2017, would have been absolute goalfests last year. Unlike their younger cousins, this year’s batch of lanky shot-stoppers are perhaps too hard to beat, batting away shot after shot with eyebrow-raising ease. In fact, keepers in PES 2017 aren’t just competent. That’s because of another notable change: competent keepers. Those shored up back lines mean you won’t be scoring as many goals as you were last year, but you also won’t be conceding them either. It’s also an improvement that makes the game slightly slower. That means more completed tackles and interceptions, feeding the ball back up the field to attacking teammates. They’ll now make smarter decisions both on and off the ball, reading the game with the level of intelligence you’d expect.

Realising their mistake, Konami has set about making defenders more perceptive. Giving away possession, losing their mark, and mistiming tackles to prove one and for all that Jamie Carragher was right: no one wants to grow up and be a Gary Neville. Last year, PES’ more defensive minded players would far too often make costly mistakes.

If the attacking play is just as good as you remember, the defending is even better.
