As varied as last year was when playing against AI, online matches would devolve into who could put in the most crosses when the going got tough. The first thing you will notice when you lump the ball up to your wingers is that it isn’t quite as frenetically fast as last year’s edition, which is admittedly quite liberating.

While Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 represents more of a good thing, it feels like a slight step backwards rather than the natural -ahem- evolution it needed to close the gap. PES had announced its re-emergence, and all eyes were on it to see where it would go next. It felt like a glorious throwback to the days of old while still playing like an inherently modern digital footballing experience.

While PES didn’t (and is unlikely ever to) commercially compete with FIFA, it was critically lauded as one of the best games of pure football out there. When EA revealed that one of its main features for FIFA 16 was little more than a Trainer mode, Konami must have thrown all hands on deck to take advantage with PES 2017. It represented the first time in many years that the series’ gameplay properly surpassed that of its nemesis, FIFA, which had become complacent. Last year was a monumental one for the Pro Evolution Soccer series.
