Quite frankly PES 2017’s menus look like your gran made them, and they’re as awkward, slow, and ugly this year as they’ve ever been.
In terms of general presentation – stuff like menus, commentary, and general razzmatazz – FIFA 17 has an even clearer win. This doesn’t work on the Xbox One though, because Microsoft has a promotional deal with EA.
#PES 17 VS FIFA 17 PC#
In PES you can edit the names and details manually if you want though, and on the PlayStation 4 and PC you can download fan-made option files that have everything already done for you. That’s the way it’s always been, but for some people that’s all they care about, no matter what the two games play like. All the official stadia, kits, and player details so that PES just has to make them up or leave them out entirely. Especially as some of PES 2017’s players actually look better than FIFA 17, even if it’s just the ones they have the specific licence for.Īnd licences are what it’s all about, because apart from a select few clubs and the UEFA competitions, FIFA has them all. The lighting and weather effects are better than PES 2017 in close up, but since that’s not how you play the game it actually makes less difference than EA might like to pretend. When it comes to the graphics of the two games it’s a much fairer fight than you might imagine, even though FIFA 17 this year is using the Frostbite engine from the Battlefield games. This in turn is dependent on how realistic the graphics are and the attention to detail in terms of clubs, kits, and players. There’s how the game plays and there’s how much it looks like the real thing, and recreates the atmosphere of a match and the clubs involved. But that can mean a lot of very different things. When people talk about what they want from a football game the first thing they usually say is ‘realism’.
