Pro Evolution Soccer 2018

The gameplay on the pitch is streets ahead of FIFA. You actually feel like you are playing a game of football. Ball physics are near perfect, accurately portraying speed and weight of a real life football. Konami have nailed animations, its one of the few sports games where I almost always watch the replays just to marvel at how smooth and realistic the animations are. Tactics that actually work. Instead of some vague sliders, you get to to choose from a range of tactics and dynamic formations and the results are immediately apparent on the pitch. Believable AI. PES is fun to play agains the CPU, they adjust their tactics and close you out if you continually try and score through the same moves.  Depth to gameplay. The PES tutorials get you familiar with the basics of the controls and you can get onto the pitch and play a competent game of football. However, there is so many more options to controls under the bonnet that allow for an incredible range of moves, passes, touches, off the ball running that it makes PES a game that takes a long time to truly master.  FIFA 23
