Managerial mode awash with excess info; Lack of licensing still an issue

I was hoping that Konami had made some strides with PES 2017 and built upon the strong showing of last year's game. While this new title doesn't feel like a step back, it feels a little stagnant, despite producing a great on-field gameplay experience. If PES 2016 helped Konami close the gap on EA, then PES 2017 has given its rival the chance to widen it once again. However, if you can get past the lack of licensing, there's a very good football game to be found here.
