May as well make a proper thread for the full game. Doesn't look like the game is too popular on here but £26 currently at Tesco is worth a punt right?



Had a butchers last night and after installing the PESuniverse option file I got cracking. Ventured into myClub and got Ronaldo and Messi on my first two spins so looks like I'm off to a good start! :p

Not played much yet and my thoughts are from someone who doesn't invest much time in football games past the 2/3 months after release but what I've played thus far seems an improvement on 2016. More little nuances added to the game which are great. Not clicked with Fifa since 2010.

I'm looking to pick this up today instore, looking on line it's gone up to £36 again. Fingers crossed it's cheaper in store.

What's your PSN? We'll have a game!

Same as my username on here bud! Can't promise I'll be allowed out by the Mrs. to have a game though. :p

Just a heads up the game was labelled up as £42 but scanned at £26 at their click and collect desk.

How is the online holding up? any idea if they have 2v2 coop online option?


Might be worth adding these to the Op Logsi for offical kits logos etc:

Not played any online yet. I just get thrashed usually so never really bother. Will give it a go once I've got my eye in sometime in the next few days! :p

Added those links to OP!

I wish the demo they put out was a lot more like the full games. The menu system, music and commentary really add to the game so it's a shame you don't get to experience that before buying. You can't even change the button layout on the demo which for some will be a turn off before they've even played the game. I use circle for shoot and 2 person press tackle for example...old habits die hard!

Completely new to PES but enjoying it. Haven't discovered how to do anything special yet bar just passing and shooting vaguely in the right direction :p

Do we know yet which of these 2 option files are best?

I've used a bit of a mish-mash, used the pesworld Option Pack which covers off the English, Spanish, French and Italian teams and I can't fault the quality.

Used the second one to get the Bundesliga teams and to me the kit quality isn't quite as good, I'll probably leave mine as it is now and use the second PES World Option File when its available which I presume will include the German sides

Properly delved into setting upon strategies on PES yesterday and it's paid dividends. Having much more fun and the BS I felt I was having is nearly all but gone. Snagged Koscielny from a black ball yesterday also!

Think I need a new manager now though as the one I have doesn't suit my play style...

Me too. I was really struggling to begin with, but an hour spent messing about with the advanced tactics and fluid formations completely changed the game for me. Since then I've gone 18 myclub games without a loss so far! Also got pretty jammy with my agents and snagged Neymar, Bale and Walcott :)

Playing a completely different style to my 2016 team and loving it.
