Pro Evolution Soccer 2016, is this year itself?

After more than fifty games with his demo, we told you our impressions of Pro Evolution Soccer 2016

Every year the same story. From the magnificent Pro Evolution Soccer 6 and after a football catastrophe hand the entry into the new generation of Konami sports saga becomes harder each year than last and are already too many times we have heard or read that from "This year, yes," "becomes the best PES" and some others.

It is true that the same applies to FIFA, but otherwise; in the field of Electronic Arts each year speaks to meet with the best installment of the franchise released so far, with many new features and call to correct faults that continues to carry the brand. And, again, too many years are unchanged emphatic enough or needed to breathe some fresh air to the stagnant football proposal.

A server sidestepped the saga of Konami with the entry of the new generation towards a FIFA with David Rutter at the head, indisputably managed to win the title of King of football. The problem? The lack of real competition from PES has made Electronic Arts has stopped pressing the accelerator and bear witness too many deliveries, added inconsequential improvements or directly steps back in playable; not to mention, of course, a technical section that is still too similar to what we already saw five years ago.

That is why each time the presence of a rival company to reactivate a football one would dispute that benefit all players is most needed. My first feeling with Pro Evolution Soccer 2016, after more than 50 games to his demo, are positive but certain factors beyond the strictly playable hindering the proper growth of the franchise are still there.

This release moves over the main flaws of PES 2015

Let's start with the obvious: with the delivery of 2016 we can forget the exaggerated input lag (or delay in the response of our players) and some technical flaws that dimmed the experience. PES 2016 is a much more polished and complete in all respects and play the best, it will not cost us too much into the rhythm of the game and enjoy the proposed Konami.

Speaking of rhythm can say that this issue is perhaps the most finely tuned to capture as seen in real football: Mainly touch and play in midfield but it will not be strange that the party was "broken" and the comings and goings between one area and another will happen. Personally, I greatly prefer it proposes PES 2016 about the correcalles in which they finished making the last FIFA.

Another of the weaknesses of the Konami brand has always been the animations and transitions between them. The robotic and orthopedic of these movements in the last parts just keep being seen in some other specific moment but in general, this one has become one of the great attractions of the new release; not only every major player is instantly recognizable by the way they move are hundreds if not movements, game by game, continue to surprise.

We are in the best PES launched from 2006

On the negative side we found a playable than goalkeepers are still not as reliable that should (nothing alarming or continued but we have found a handful of blunders in our party) or a long through in leaving something to be desired , being really difficult to provide them with the desired accuracy and strength and, above all coming together with a rather strange physics of the ball.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 is undoubtedly the best PES launched since 2006. But is that enough? The game modes in FIFA license and remain a differential value and promise from Electronic Arts have corrected the great defect of his latest release (still, is still dragging a technical engine with too many flaws). For a server, a great fan of the Premier League and a regular player FUT, FIFA remains the logical choice, but fortunately for everyone, it seems that the competition between both franchises can now be considered as equals. Neither football this year proposals will be perfect but it will be sufficient packaging and different enough to favor us to us players.
