Take first touches, the response time once youвЂ™ve pressed shoot or pass, and the sense of weight and momentum carried through turns when dribbling-in previous years, these joints and hinges of play were where PES creaked the loudest.

These add up to a sharper, more agile game and collectively contribute to the feeling that PES 2017 has improved all over. There are also big improvements to ball control, turning, and the time it takes for players to recover after physical contact and changes of direction. Low one-handed dives, instinctive blocks with a single leg, and more authoritative claims under high-balls all help give this yearвЂ™s keepers a reassuring sense of life and ability. Goalkeepers are a good example of the former-theyвЂ™ve been heavily (and necessarily) reworked, offering not just a more realistic defense against corners and saveable shots, but also a dynamic set of animations that help give PES the kind of authenticity the series often lacked. The improvements this year are a mixture of the specific and the general. Yes, there are signs here that PESвЂ™ rivalry with FIFA has led to an unnecessary overextension in features and modes, but the core of PES 2017-the soccer it plays-is competitive again.

And in terms of representing the global event, KonamiвЂ™s PES 2017 is a genuine step forward for a series.

And, perhaps most visibly of all, the clattering circus of the soccer season itself-which both FIFA and PES must increasingly reflect and celebrate in order to stay relevant-has emerged from summer hibernation.
