I went with the PES World option file. The kits and crests have loaded fine but there's no competition logos in the download folder. According to the accompanying video there should be? Anyone else have this issue?

They have a video showing u how on their site

Yeah I understood that bit. It's the same as last year. But the logos aren't actually in the folder I downloaded.

I opened it up on my Mac and they're not in there. I saw the video where he scrolls right down and they're at the end. But as I said, I searched via the PS4 and then manually looked through the folder and they're just not there. There's only the various team items. Very odd.

Anyway, not to worry. I pulled them from a different pack on PESGaming.com.

Has anyone been able to access any of the other three option files on PES World? I can only click into the Premier League section.

Thanks for DJ90.

Used his Argos reservation number to get it. Can't wait to plough into it now

After playing the Fifa demo, I'm considering getting this for the first time since PES6. No experience with option files so would kits, crests, players names and club names be edited correctly in an option file?

Yep, unless there is the odd type-o. I usually wait a week or two and then download an option file. That way they've worked out the bugs and made the minor corrections they need.

Player names and faces are already accurate.

The OF includes crests, kits, club names and competition logos. Then you edit the competition names manually. It's very straightforward and looks perfect.

It's funny how us PES fans always talk about the importance of gameplay over FIFA's 'bells and whistles', and yet I almost jizzed my pants when I saw the Premier League logo pop up on screen.

J. Marston

Gameplay is, or should be, the main factor but realism and authenticity are a pretty big deal. I remember playing PES2 and Van Nistlerooy was called Oranges038. Man United were Aragon, Liverpool = Europort, Celtic = Ulster and Aston Villa were called Dublin.

Kind of broke the immersion.

Pickpocket

I played a few games online and I'm just not into it like I once was. It's hard, obviously, so you'd have to get used to the odd whipping.

But it's not just that. I simply don't like how each game plays out. It's just boot to the floor for the whole thing.

With single player I up the difficulty and focus on manual passing and shooting. That makes it very difficult but it allows each game to flow nicely.

The defence presses me in a realistic fashion, with both teams keeping their shape and just generally taking a tactical approach. Whereas in online games I'm being aggressively chased down in a way that not even Pep's Barca would have done. Totally unrealistic, headless chicken type stuff.

Best of luck to all of you playing online but this year will be a single-player experience for me. Thankfully the game is fantastic so I'm sure I won't be bored.

Call Me Jimmy

With normal passing its easy to counter, but with manual it is much harder when being pressed by 3 players all the time

Luckycharms_74

Just got it and played a few games.
Initially when i loaded i set up controller settings. On the old PES 2016 Sprint would also switch players, its doesn't seems to work on this one.
Also how to amend controller settings in the menu. I cant find in settings

Played a couple of online, very sluggish and slow

Edit : Found controls change in game

Anyone know when the 1st round of legend players will be out for MyClub?

A user review from amazon:P

this morning when I woke up I realised my wife had left me. She's took all of her clothes, emptied our bank account and took the car. We don't have kids so I suppose that's a plus. I decided that life was not worth living anymore so I walked to sainsburys for a large bottle of whiskey to wash down my huge stockpile of paracetamol that I had been collecting for just this kind of occasion. As I sat there popping out the pills from their blister packs, I heard the letterbox go. It was at that moment I remembered that I had ordered pes 2017 from Amazon. I threw my tablets aside, put the top back on the bottle and ran to the front door. As soon as I popped the disc in my ps4 I was amazed. The gameplay is great, much better than last year and it really cheered me up. Would I have killed myself if I had received Fifa 17? Probably. That's why pes 2017 gets 5 stars for me. I'm really glad that I didn't go through with it now , I haven't even played online yet! I'm now glad that she's gone. Her fanny had a big wart on the side and she did stink "down there". Thanks pes 2017

Just a quick update on this. It seems like I'm not the only one. There's people referring to it on YouTube.

Different strokes. I want it all.

I'm just looking at the various manager pictures in the Option File.

I wonder which one we'll be replacing in January?

brianregan09

So is there an all encompassing option file available that has everything yet ? Like the bundesliga clubs and updates for the rest

There are legend players becoming available the online mode MyClub. It looks almost like they will do it in waves and the first wave looks like it might include the likes of Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and Larsson.

How do you get them, special agent or something?

IncognitoMan

Yeah that's how it worked last year. They will release the agents and they'll be available for a week or so. Then sometimes they'll be available with other players in a agent. For example a champions league agent might get legends thrown in as well. So that agent would have a pool of players (from all the teams in the Champions League) and maybe 5 legend players in there.

Last year they gave everyone a free guaranteed legend agent. Hopefully they do the same again this year.

PESWorld kits look class. Importing much easier than last year. Have Premier League done so playing a season of that and can import other leagues as I go.

Exclamation Marc

If anyone fancies some online games sometime on PS4, feel free to add me "ManufacturedHero".

Would love to play someone who likes varying teams of different levels. Everyone I meet online picks Barca and its really getting to be a pain in the hole!

v3ttel

Same as a few others, I'm using "WEHK Teams Pack for PES 2017" from PES Gaming and it's excellent. I'm alright at FIFA (can win D1 in FUT and H2H Seasons), but I'm terrible at PES. I got humped 5-3 in a game online there, and gave up 23 shots at goal. I need to go and watch a few tutorials. I'm totally clueless in defense and my timing seems completely off for passing.

Ivefoundgod

Do we reckon we'd have enough people for a bit of a league in this? See FIFA lads have one so no harm in trying. I'm training 3 times a week and games on Sunday so I wouldn't be able to organise it fully but i'd be glad to give a hand.

callaway92

I'll join a league if ye set one up anyway (PS4).

Honestly very very impressed with this so far. Nearly all issues have been ironed out. Tiny issue still with sometimes not being able to change man for some reason but that's minor.

Dont know how good game is yet, tackling is overpowered and AI is idiotic but it keeps you interested. One flaw for me is tje game seems to pride itself on depicting all gsmes of football as tika taka, the passing is so nice as well but the reality is not all teams play like that but i think the com forces you to play slow tempo passing football

What platform are you playing on?

Wilberto

I've played the FIFA demo there a few evenings ago and the passing just seems so much less crisp. I even had it on manual passing, and evenwhen I hold down the pass button to fill the gauge, the pass still seems very slow. It must be impossible to overhit a pass. Now, I know I'm a pro evo man anyway but I'm genuinely trying to look past any bias that I may have.

I do want to enjoy FIFA as well as I always used to enjoy building a LOI team in FUT (not that it was that hard as they were all fairly cheap bronze players!). I'd also love to give the Journey a shot as well.


Anyway, still haven't managed to get stuck into PES 2017 yet as I'm planning a good binge session this afternoon/evening/night.

harpstilidie

Is there much of a difference to PES 2016 folks?

I've reserved it in Argos for collection later. Do I or don't I?

I also want FIFA (purely for the fact that Finn Harps will be in it). I've played the demo and I don't particularly like it.

You'll probably be able to find somewhere that has created a Finn Harps over time in PES.

It's much better than PES2016, smoother, better refs, better graphics, more fluid, I could go on.

BabyE

The game has its moments, after 85 minS of annoying overpowered tackles on mahrez silmani musa and vardy, mahrez broke free off eremenko in the cska midfield, running the pitch he evaded the defender and shot low , it deflected and akinfeev made a wonder save but vardy was there to slot the ball home, looked sick.
They need to improve deflections though

callaway92

LOT of stuttering online, more so than last year which is slightly worrying. Game is top notch though.

I wish my mates were not so anti pes, it be beautiful against another human player

Has anyone successfully used a good option file yet?

IncognitoMan

I've used the pes universe one fine.

Ended up buying this off psn. Still no sign from the game from the games collection. I've sent an email to them. I'll just trade in the physical copy when it does land. Very disappointing service.

That's a strange one to be fair. I ordered last weekend and it arrived yesterday. I didn't use Parcel Motel or anything, instead getting them to send it straight out into the shticks of West Cork.

Hopefully you were just one of the very rare unlucky ones and that it wasn't a regular occurrence.

Yeah I don't know what happened. Even on their website the status is just dispatched not delivered so it didn't go to the wrong place or anything. I've got onto parcel motel as well but they've seen no sign of it. I've even checked the address and parcel motel id about 5 times to make sure I didn't mess up and I just can't see what happened to it.

As long as it gets delivered ill take the code for another team of the year player and the extra bonuses for MyClub and pop it down to Cex. Won't work out so bad in the end if I land Messi or Ronaldo out of the team of the year spin

whiskeyman

Still enjoying this but some gripes.
Anyone else find strong hard low passes that get intercepted by opposition as if they've magnets.... ball stops dead as they run into it. Can get very ping pong at times too.
I really feel 2016 was the best I've ever played, so 2017 is not a huge overhaul, but I'm seeing where it may just edge past.
I'm getting a lot more random moments of madness and fun that make it so enjoyable.

Has anyone experienced the game crashing? Happened while installing the Pes World option file and a couple of times since.

They do say to only import around 15 teams at a time, otherwise it will most likely crash.

It did crash a couple of times on me when I was importing, but only because I got a bit cocky and tried to import around 20 or so teams together! :pac:

Picked this up there this afternoon.

Is it possible to get the Bundesliga into the game?

Also, are there any option files for international teams yet?

PES Gaming. When you're importing the teams, you can choose what teams you're importing, so only import the Bundesliga teams if you have everything else done already.

It's epic. (Although, I still haven't actually played a game yet! Ha! :pac:)

Thanks. How does importing the Bundesliga work? Is it just kits, emblems and names that you import or players too?

EDIT: Think I've found it.
