Pes 18 Guide

With so many game modes, tournaments, and players, it’s hard to know where to start so we're here to help you kick off in what might be the best PES yet.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 kicks off another season of footie sim battles on September 12, and in a bid to keep even with EA Sports' almighty FIFA, Konami have once again upped their game. The new game features more licensed players and teams than ever before, new modes and entirely new control schemes for set pieces, which you can read all about in our preview.

How to get on top of them all? Football games require dedication. If you pick them up and expect to be brilliant right away, you’re going to come away sore after a 6–0 thrashing (if you're lucky) and potentially put off playing again.

Regardless of which mode you're playing, this year’s PES is no different in that respect, though our handy cheat sheet of Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 tips will help. If you're new to the series, just wondering what may have changed or looking to work your way up the ladder online, we've got you covered.
