In PES 2016 each victory, however small, feels earned. Watching this in action invites you to work with your team as a single unit, rather than treating them as a pack of lone wolves. It is impressive to see how the 22 player AI’s combine, overlap, contradict, and conflict each other.
You can now be confident that your allies will be protecting you as you wait for an opening to pass to your teammate who has positioned himself well in the sea of players. The AI improvements are also significant, removing the fear of passing the ball to your teammates. PES has always been a strategic franchise, now it seems PES 2016 has at last reached the pace and fluency of its rival FIFA. Konami has made huge progress in both areas to get those all important duels for the ball and overall control feeling more organic and unpredictable.
The two undisputed stars are the physics and AI.
