However, that's a minor sticking point compared to the licenses-or lack thereof. This makes it all the more disappointing, then, that goalkeepers still act like robots: their static animations and inconsistent saves might be a little better than last year, but they still shatter the illusion that you're controlling a real-life team and serve as a reminder that you're playing a video game.

Players also shield the ball and stumble past opponents more realistically, not only helping you hold on to the ball but also making them feel more like players, not just dots on a screen.

Direct free kicks have been improved, too, and they now feel more intuitive and more fluid-and I'm finally able to score from them. Or, from corner kicks, you can ask for two players to come short or for your entire team to line up on the edge of the box before making a late dash to the back post. You can now choose to send your center backs forward for long free kicks, for example, and hope for a knock down. This is especially helpful from set pieces, which have been reworked to allow you to pick different tactics depending on the situation. This then allows you to play direct if you're losing in the final stages of an important match.

Changes to your attacking intent level, for example, affect how deep your team sit more than ever-set it to maximum and your biggest defender will act as an emergency striker. Passing's versatility allows you to produce some beautiful football: play with Barcelona and you can actually play like Barcelona-but it also means you can lump it to the big man up top or play it wide and get crosses in if a particular match or situation demands it. Ground passes are now executed with greater variety, meanwhile: your players will contextually change from spraying the ball with the outside of the boot to curling with the inside to punting with the toe to tapping to flicking to threading. Now, rather than being a delightful shortcut to losing possession, these Hollywood balls are a legitimate tactic.

They're aided by better positioning of wide men, allowing more opportunities to pick out players with pinpoint cross-field balls-too often in PES 2017 I would try a million-dollar pass to a winger that would inevitably get cut out by the full back. Passes feel more satisfying than ever, rising and curling and dipping oh so beautifully. Despite PES shifting down a gear, however, its mechanics still allow you to pull off some spectacular maneuvers.
