Just played my first 2 games on PS4, Top Player, Manual Shooting, Passing Level 1. Game speed -1.
First impressions is that it is a lot better than 2016. I played against Barcelona and the first thing I noticed was how much pressing they do which is good. And if they press too much they foul you.
Yes the fouls are back! Please please please keep them Konami! It's great being able to hold the ball up and draw a foul on the edge of the box. Or to be defending but win a foul because the CPU is pressing too much. I had one where the ref pulled the game back to book somebody too.
I am enjoying the way the CPU attacks, it is quite random. In one game, I wish I recorded it. Suarez was running through on goal on the left edge of the box. I brought Cech out. I was waiting for Saurez to do the usual lob over the keeper but no he tried to bend it around the keeper but it hit the side netting. I felt his frustration as he sank to his knees. Never seen that in a one on one before against the CPU.
Also I conceded this penalty against Barcelona...
Is it me or is Neymar play acting to win the penalty?

The only tiny little gripes at the moment are the stumbling animation that has been mentioned before. Ozil went through 3 different challenges with the same animation and managed to score. I thought the third one should have knocked him off balance as they were all in quick succession.
The other thing is the still slightly over powered shooting. I feel that I can get a good powerful shot away with any player. But it is still better than 2016.
Also I like that they have brought back Attack/Defence settings in game. One of my favourite features from classic PES. Has anybody used the Advanced tactics yet? That looks quite interesting, I think "hug the touch line" is one of them. I want to hug Konami now. Please don't adjust the game on release.
