Konami, in its defence, went out and bought up a whole bunch of smaller leagues from around Europe in an attempt to shift its target audience. PES has had to get by on personality over looks for decades, and this year it was dealt an even bigger blow when it lost the licence for the UEFA Champions League competition.

The mandatory first act of any PES player is to download and import proper kits into the game. If you can’t see where I’m going with this, and why Konami will never be able to snag licences for the most lucrative league in the world, then you’re probably too distracted looking at all the new official kits on FIFA right now. This is because EA Sports sponsors the Premier League. If you’ve ever watched a game of Premier League football on Sky Sports, you’ll probably have seen an EA Sports logo pop up next to the official match clock every now and then. Unlike the vast majority of American sports games, the powers that control licensed football teams are not as readily open to sharing. The chief reason for this is one that PES will likely never have a handle of – the licences. Since PES 2016, however, I’ve been utterly convinced that Konami’s franchise plays a game of football on a completely different level to FIFA, and it irks me more than a little bit that EA’s grip on the football market is such that FIFA will be around long after PES has gone the way of everything else Konami owns – into exile. PES has been my go-to football franchise since the PS2, although I will admit to having dipped back into FIFA at the beginning of the current generation of consoles.
It’s like if I was trying to convince someone that Pepsi is better than Coke, or Burger King is better than McDonald’s – Pepsi and BK may very well have the better product, but Coke and McDonald’s have the market, and that will never change. Its position in the market is pretty much locked in now and forever, and despite the fact that I want to convince new players that this is the best football game available, it just doesn’t have the clout to take a slice out of its competitor’s audience. As such, the following screenshots will give you an idea of what you can expect from it.Pro Evolution Soccer is one of the most difficult franchises to review in all of video games.
