PES 2018 is a title that finds the series at the very top of its game.

  

PES 2017 was one of the best Pro Evo games yet, receiving rave reviews when it came out last year, which has naturally left a lot of people very excited about what's on the way from PES 2018. Still, the Pro Evo series is lagging behind FIFA in both sales and a few key gameplay features, so there's plenty of room for improvement when the inevitable PES 18 appears later this year. 

One of the major changes we'd like to see in PES 2018 is the same thing people have been asking for from the franchise every year: better licensing. The FIFA series has consistently secured more real teams and player likenesses than the PES games, and while last year's game included authentic representations of the likes of Barcelona and Arsenal, there are plenty of teams that still aren't included, and we'd love to see more of these included.

It would also be great to see PES 18 respond to one of FIFA 17's biggest new features: The Journey. The new single player story mode proved a surprise success, despite some occasionally shaky writing, and it'd be great to see Pro Evo hit back with its own take on a story campaign.
