“Lessons have been learned and we rightly took a lot of flak for the rosters being so out of date,” says Bhatti.
“There will be a day one update to bring all transfers up to date, and it will be updated on a weekly basis with all transfers within that time implemented and will also reflect the performances of players within that time. Individual skill is vital in PES 2017, so it is important that we make sure that our players are as close to those of their real life counterparts.”
The move brings PES in line with rival FIFA, which has offered weekly roster downloads that reflect recent moves and changes in form throughout the last two seasons.
