Konami have taken on board the criticisms made about the passing on PES15 and not only eliminated those problems but also seriously improved this year's passing model. Simply put, they have nailed it. The passing no longer has an irritating lag between pressing a button and the player demonstrating the move and is now slick, streamlined and accurate. Smarter team-mate intelligence means that you will have better runs being made off the ball (that you don't have to activate) and you're able to create one-touch tiki-taka-esque moves due to the fantastic response rate. FIFA 16's passing couldn't be further away from this and although EA Sports have developed other areas of their game their passing feels slow and sedated compared to the speedy triangles you can produce on PES16.
