I've felt over the last few years that Pro Evo was starting to get somewhere again as a football game, and with 2016 they have nailed it. The gameplay is the best it's been in years, the licenses issue is not really an issue any more with a little bit of extra work that will just take an hour. I just hope the commentary gets some looking in to next year as that was one of the biggest issues I had with the game, and stopped it short of being a perfect football game.

Meanwhile, PES is the football game for people who love the elegance, grace, and flow of the sport. PES has always been good at that, and this year's edition, while only making subtle tweaks to the on-field engine, has done so so effectively that it has become the definitive take on the sport.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 is a big step forward for the series and manages to show the complexity and the beauty of football while also emphasizing the hard work that's required from a team looking to put together a string of victories.

PES 16 may not be the greatest soccer game of all time, but it’s definitively worth your time and money. It’s a game that delivers a very satisfactory sports experience both to fans and newcomers.

This is the second PES on the new gen consoles and it seems to be improving year on year, but will the addictive gameplay compensate for the lack of content as it goes head to head with its FIFA rival once more this year?

PES 16 is very close to the game long-term fans have needed and demanded. It inexplicably manages to match terrific, absorbing gameplay with awful presentation everywhere but on the pitch.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 überzeugt wie jedes Jahr in Sachen Gameplay und Realismus. Die neue Kollisionsabfrage liefert zwar teilweise nicht unbedingt das Ergebnis, was man sich erwarten würde, aber ansonsten überzeugt der Titel durchgehend mit realistischen Dribblings und Spieler Animationen. In Sachen offline Modes und MyClub hat sich auch einiges bei PES getan, trotzdem hat hier FIFA weiterhin den Vorsprung durch FUT und den großartigen Karriere Modus. Wer den höchsten Grad an Realismus möchte, sollte dieses Jahr wieder einmal auf Pro Evolution Soccer setzen.
