While PES 2017 may excel at its intended goal of being a realistic football simulator, it is not the most inviting football game for people who are new to the genre. This iteration of the game also introduces more “dirty” tactics, such as shirt pulling and tripping, adding another element of realism to the game.
Goalkeeper behaviour is also significantly improved, making scoring harder. The AI of the computer-controlled footballers is adaptive, enabling it to learn the user’s style of play and make any necessary changes as a result.
