Well, yours truly have never been a fan of goalkeepers being liable to making outstanding whoopers now and then for no obvious fault of mine. But the jury is still out on whether or not it’s much of an improvement over last year’s ultra-magnificent series. For 2017 the great guys at Konami have presented us with a grandly reloaded game, the stuff epic dribbling orgasms are made of. Well, is the new PES all it’s cracked up to be? Should the likes of FIFA and EA start worriedly looking over their shoulders at the approach of their bitter enemy arraigned in finery and seeking to steal new fans for themselves? Maybe.
Next year, expect the cycle to repeat itself. With the launch of this year’s PES 2017, fresh battle lines have been drawn, reps feverishly buffed and weapons honed and readied for battle. Ardent fans of both sides have additionally never lost the opportunity of deriding the other and mocking them as heretics who know about as much of the beautiful football game as a donkey knows how to solve algebra.
