UEFA Euro 2016/Pro Evolution Soccer (PS4)

I'll start off by saying I haven't bought a PES game since PES 2013 which I sold and later bought FIFA 13. Last generation FIFA 09, PES 10 and FIFA 13 were the games that I got most enjoyment from but this beats them all. Unlike FIFA, the gameplay isn't scripted, player movement and the gameplay mechanics are a lot more realistic. For some reason scoring a goal on the PES games has always been more enjoyable than FIFA. Players look realistic and move fluidily enough.The one thing that continues to plague the series is the licensing problem. Manchester United are the only licensed PL team which isn't good enough and the Portuguese League isn't much better. There isn't a Bundesliga, many player names are fake and the odd player is missing, anyone spotted Dummett (Newcastle)? I'm tired of using edit mode every time I buy a PES game, I don't have anywehre near as much as I did in my teenage years (having the European competitions is great but they can surely do more). The only other negatives is the repetitve commentary, many players don't have a commentary name so when they receive the ball you don't hear a thing (this is basic) and the menus could be better. Online play is great, not one laggy game, the gameplay has been smooth for the duration of the match. The community is very good, only one player has quit when I up 4-0. A lot of addictive games modes which will keep me entertained for a very long time.People have been saying this for years but its true - if PES had the polish that FIFA had it would hands down be the best football game. The NBA 2K series dethroned the NBA Live (EA) series and they haven't recovered. Konami could and should be selling more copies than the stagnant game known as FIFA.9/10 I can't give it a 10/10 due to the lack of polish.

To be perfectly honest, I am a FIFA fan through and through, however, because of the price I thought I'd give this a go. Now I have tried PES before and liked it but found myself drawn back to the glitz and hype of the FIFA franchise.Now back to PES Euro 2016. The set up is a tad slow and a lot to take in but.... once sorted.... WOW! I love the game play!...I'm told that's what PES is all about but there must have been several changes since I last played because I found myself not wanting to put the controls down for hours! Scripting put me off FIFA but I did not at any point feel this game is scripted! (I'm talking about FUT on fifa and MyClub on PES).If you are unaware of the term 'game scripting', Google it!Anyway I'm not going to tell you all anything you've not already heard about he two top footie games out there so I will sign off by saying: This is a bargain as specially as you get the full PES 2016 game not just the Euro bit.Game play is awesome, graphics awesome and it feels sooooo good when you score cus you feel like you've 'earned' it.

was a good game of football...really authentic shame that they never managed to sort out the transfers but watching videos for 2017 looks like Konami have noticed and will be sorted for that version. The gameplay is fantastic and the ball moves from one team to the next realistically ...the good old days of PES are back.

As a noob to PS4 in July 2016 I bought this because I fancied a bit of footie gaming action and I am a sucker for World Cup editions. Bought this after watching the Euro's and it's brilliant. Even comes bundled with the full 2016 version of PES so you are getting a lot of game for your money. Is it better than FIFA? I have played both and I actually prefer this. I was swayed by a reviewer who moaned that it wasn't any good because you couldn't get sent off for a bad sliding tackle. Well as a casual gamer that really swung it for me and it's true! It's very hard to get a red card. Phew! I love it an dI don't give a fig that it doesn't have the 'proper' club names or correct kits. It's a football game that plays really well. Great for just picking up and diving in when you have had a hard day. If I could have bought FIFA cheaper then maybe I would have done, but then I would be none the wiser about this fantastic game. Only buy if you don't care about the 'official' kits and club names etc. As I don't support a team I really didn't care. Great game.
