While FIFA 17 has beaten PES 2017 3-1 in our categories, it’s not as clear-cut as the score may seem. While FIFA wins out in modes, licenses and graphics (albeit very narrowly), the fact that gameplay is such a strong win for PES mean this year it’s such a close call.
It honestly comes down to personal taste: If gameplay on the pitch is all that matters to you, then you’re probably best served buying PES 2017. If variety of modes and ways to play the game matters, then FIFA 17 is by far the stronger game.
Although online stability is too soon to call, PES 2017 is known to suffer with issues and FIFA has had issues in the past but it's started off well this time. We'll have to check back once lots of people have started playing to see if it will stay that way.
Both have their strengths and weakness, and where one is weak, the other is strong. It is a very close race, and you can’t really go wrong with either game this year, as both are excellent.
