PES 2017 PS4 file sharing feature "exploded" with fans

Starting last season PES fans with a PS4 could finally enjoy the ability to import files in order to customize their teams' jerseys and kits, but as the process wasn't as simple and accessible as on a PC (we even posted a quick guide on how to do this the easiest way), we asked brand manager Adam Bhatti how the PES Team is trying to improve this feature this year with Pro Evolution Soccer 2017.

"For the PC it's a little bit easier for everybody, obviously the PC gaming is a little bit more open", recalls Bhatti. "But thankfully for the PS4 this year you can now share your files as well. So last year we brought in new photo import which is new to PS4, however it was the template you had to import it yourself, you had to go to choose your color, the kit color, shorts color and things like that. Now you can finalise everything and put it into one file and share it with your friends and they can install it instantly. This has been one of the biggest announcements at the show that we've made, certainly for the fans. As soon as we put it on the social media [it] exploded, everybody was super happy so we're really happy for the fans right now."

Bhatti also points out this is available for PS3 as well, and on new consoles just on PlayStation 4 but because it ¡s "a little bit more open for us" and "nothing that we signed with Sony".

More information such as this year's cover star and details on PES League should be announced within the next month.
