Given that, PES 2016 is still not as slick as FIFA but considering the wealth behind EA Sports, it’s kind of understandable but I wish the stadiums in PES 2016 looked a tad better. However the players do look a little lacklustre in terms of faces as they do have a touch of those “undead” eyes. Graphically, PES 2016 is a decent looking game on the PlayStation 4 that boasts some great attention to detail which definitely makes this the slickest looking title in the series, especially the character models.
Local multiplayer is also fun and we had a ball on our 55″ TV challenging each other in this competitive world of soccer. When it comes to online, we had no issues in finding players and competing in various events with no lag whatsoever. Even though PES 2016 is missing the licenses, the actual players are included in this instalment which actually mimic their real-world counterparts. The controls on the DualShock controller feel great and it doesn’t feel clunky and I must commend the developers on the in-game physics which really enhance the overall gameplay. PES 2016 is a careful balance of offence and defence play and Konami really capture this spirit in this latest game. Matches feel more realistic and more importantly, players are easier to control, particularly the ball itself and the AI is quite competitive. The be a legend mode is another fun segment of the game which allows you to move up the ranks of the soccer world as an individual player to hopefully become an international captain. It’s a great distraction but where the crux of the game lies is via its matches. Just try to ignore the “microtransactions” in the title! M圜lub also has a better “scout” mode as well which help in getting those elusive and skilled players. M圜lub returns again which is slightly familiar to FIFA’s Ultimate Team but is fleshed out more this year which actually makes you care about your player’s progression as they can “level-up”. When it comes to gaming modes, PES 2016 contain a wealth of both single-player and multi-player options with exhibition matches, various leagues and of course major league (think interactive football manager) which has parallels to a career mode. It also boasts improved control mechanics and some truly lush graphics that almost make it feel like you are watching soccer on TV. However for today, we’re checking out PES 2016 which is actually it’s 20th year in gaming that with the Fox Engine, attempts to create one of the most realistic soccer games to date from improved physics to aerial battles and even the ability to control your players during goal kicking for a special touch of celebration. And just like clockwork, both these companies release their latest soccer titles and this year, we are once again checking both versions. The games in question are PES and FIFA, two excellent gaming franchises that both have their pros and cons which successfully recreate the game of soccer. PES 2016 is the Official Video Game of UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Super Cup celebrate its 20th anniversary with the most advanced football game ever.There’s been a battle happening in the gaming world and that fight is on the virtual soccer pitch between Konami and EA Sports.
