While "Pro Soccer Evolution 2017" or simply known as "PES 2017" is an entirely different game from "FIFA 17," it couldn't be helped if fans and players will compare the two. What used to be a huge anticipation and expectations from the former happened to be the opposite.

In terms of simplicity, "PES 2017" has the upper advantage due to the game's no almost non-existent difficulty. This, in hand, makes for better gameplay and possibly will appeal to a broader audience. "PES 2017" isn't overly as complex as "FIFA 17," but this isn't to say that it lacks any layer.

However, the gameplay department seems to be the only thing that "PES 2017" has the advantage. Unlike how it showed promise before both games were officially released, the game ended up with visuals that aren't really all that impressive, especially for today's standards.

According to majority of Steam reviews, the game "PES 2017" suffers from several issues particularly with the PC port, which was supposed to get superior visual advantages. For the console versions, the FOX Engine still shows great visual flair, but comparing it with EA's Frostbite engine, "FIFA 17" still kills the competition with its more believable and immersive lighting.

For licenses, from the beginning, "FIFA 17" always had the upper hand and they still do. There aren't a lot of news about "PES 2017" getting its hands on any additional leagues and while not exactly a deal-breaker, those looking for serious variety of teams to try out need not to look anywhere else, but "FIFA 17."

In terms of mode variety, "FIFA 17" still wins. Aside from the standard modes, which are both present with "FIFA 17" and "PES 2017," the story mode for the former is a great addition, giving it a big advantage. While it isn't exactly as fun to play and long enough to keep players hooked for extended hours, it does have a good story, which is a facelift for the career mode, which tends to be boring at times.

Both games are great, but "FIFA 17" seems to be the better buy as it offers more and is perfect for those looking for the most realistic futbol/soccer simulator.
