You might hate me for this but I actually think this year PES 17 beats FIFA 17 and I'm a long time FIFA player. I feel like they've put too much effort into single story mode and forgot to fix some main issues. Also, the improvements they've made to the actual gameplay are minor. I'm talking specifically about passing - it seems like it's worse than the years before?? Maybe I'm delusional.
I did enjoy the single story mode and improved graphics but I feel like they should focus their attention on more important things considering the budget they worked with. Still, prefer old FIFA's.
