Description

This year’s sole focus is ‘Control Reality' which has taken apart the entire model, and rebuilt it to provide levels of realism never seen before.

PES 17 sees the revitalising of the multi-award winning franchise complete with an abundance of new features and quality improvements.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 has achieved interactive reality in both control and a new standard of authentic visuals. Vivid immersion in game presentation and interactive, tactical elements enhance player experience, maximising the fun in every way, playing against anyone, anywhere. The industry leading Fox Engine again powers the series to reach new heights across a broad spectrum of improvements. But most importantly, with PES 2017 users are able to experience real football for the first time in a video game. 

Real Touch

In football, what dictates and separate the best from the rest is 1st touch control. In PES 2017 the 1st touch in calculated by player attributes as well as the further inclusion of real ball physics directly controlled by the input ball touch. See how different players control the ball in unique and different ways based on where and how you control them, dictating the flow of the game based on how they react to the unpredictable movement of the ball. In addition, there is more control in how you receive the pass, and depending on the pass the player can visually execute the exact play intended, from receiving a pass to sending the ball out again.

Precision Passing

Combining Real Touch and real ball physics, passing is an art form in PES 2017. Many factors determine the speed and accuracy of the ball. The base is the player rates and skills, and adding to these are the players direction and angle that links to the natural, satisfying animation to follow. The pass that is made on the best situation and timing will generate a perfect trajectory, creating a great satisfaction when a killer pass is made.

Authentic Visuals

For PES 2017 the visuals have seen a major upgrade, offering Authentic Visuals thanks to the further incorporation of Fox Engine. The lighting sources have increased by double this year as well as the crowd models and pitch textures overhauled, making the visuals more realistic than ever. Details such as being able to see the players breathing in winter, the net to splash some rain off when the ball hits in rainy weather, and the debris of the pitch flying when they are kicked up. Shadows in the day matches are more recognisable, and some of the spray line for the free kick lines are seen throughout as subtle enhancements. Nothing has been left untouched, from player models, lighting, crowds, pitch and stadiums totally revamped.

Never has a game looked so real...

OK, it doesn't actually do the last one, but it does the others.

Quality Improvements – Many important elements are upgraded per fan feedback

Vibrations vary for impact and player collisions, as well as shots and when the ball hits the post, to add another layer to the realism, by making feeling a more dimensional experience.
