Konami’s footie series Pro Evolution Soccer has always had a special place for PC sports gamers, with a long tradition of modding. The recent addition of Steam Workshop support has only stepped up the creativity within the community.
This year’s edition, Pro Evolution Soccer 2016, is no different, as modders have come up with a multitude of ways to upgrade the game, including such improvements as roster updates, new stadium additions, graphic improvement and gameplay tweaking. Some of the top mods out there are included in our list:
Last Updated 12/11/2015
Disable Crowd For your Stadiums V1.0 / Created by Adrian Cañada
One of the big issues for PC gamers on rigs that only meet the minimum requirements is that all of the bells and whistles will affect gameplay. This mod removes the crowd from stadiums so that there’s better performance. And frankly, who needs all those hooligans in the stands anyway?
SWEET FX / Created by MultiTechnopark
One of the most popular graphic mods, Sweet FX adds a high resolution sheen to all models, as well as improved lighting effects and upgraded textures. In addition to giving players more detailed faces and bodies, but the mod also increases the contrast without sacrificing detail.
Pitch Ultra HD / Created by Estarlen Silvaa
On the other hand, if you’ve got a machine that can handle a heavy load, with the latest graphic card installed, you might want to try Pitch Ultra HD, which makes the grass even prettier and realistic, even up close. Those chalk lines will stand out and different textures of the pitch will add a subtle touch.
Ballpack 50 Balls V1.0 / Created by Cronos PES 2016
This is a PES 2016 mod that truly has balls. Lots of balls. 50 of them, in fact, to fit whichever occasion you might want them for. This version now includes an Adidas UCL Finale Milano Champions League Friendly Match ball and Champions League mode and Master League for playoffs.
Chelsea 2015/16 Kitset / Created by Santy Argentina
Chelsea FC won the Barclays Championship, and this mod will add the updated kits for the reigning champion Blues. So even though Jose Mourinho’s job is in trouble right now, you can show your support by donning these kits.
Remove Replay “Ball” / Created by Muller Bento
Tired of replays and just want to play without the interruption? This mod will remove those replays and let you focus on the game.
Physics Mod / Created by Pesntein
This mod is more than the title suggests. You say “Physics, okaaay…”, but there is more to this mod than just physics. It does rework the ball physics, so it does include it’s namesake, but it also features positioning changes, fatigue changes, offsides changes and more. Give it a download, you may like what it has to offer.
Ajax Facepack / Created by Hawke
Improved textures are often welcomed by people looking for mods for their favorite game. So with that in mind, we bring you a texture replacer for the Amsterdam team Ajax. Take a look at the screenshot to see what you think. This mod will replace facial textures for Ajax.
BEST PATCHES PACK (ENB, GamePlay…) / Created by SR PT Harris
Sometimes you just want a mod pack, where the author or compiler takes care of the decisions. That’s what we have here. This is a compilation of some of the patches found around the community, all made compatible. It also includes an ENB preset to improve those in-game graphics.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 has only been in general release for just over two weeks, and already there’s a trove of nifty mods available for the game. Keep checking GameWatcher for more modding goodness that we think you should try out.
