Pro Evolution Soccer 2017

Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 is a virtual divegrass game created by Konami. It debuted in either 1997, or 2001, depending on what you ask. It used to be known as International Superstar Soccer, and stayed that way until 2001, where it officially shifted to the PES name. It is the platform that all of this autism currently plays out on.

Where Do I Get It?
PES is available on your local DRM platform, such as Steam and Fuck off.

You can download PES 17 via this link right here. Mount the .iso and let Setup do the work. The version of the game you will be getting is 1.00, the base version, and it comes with no data pack. The version number is important as save files and exports may not be compatible with other versions of the game.

How Do I Make it Work?
Go here and here and get both. You should be able to figure out what both of those do and where to put them. Congratulations, you've unlocked PES and updated it to 1.02. Remember what was said about compatibility. Load it up to make sure it works and you see Version 1.02.00.

Now What?
You download your save file and aesthetic pack. If you want to make your own, head on over to the Modding Tools section and start downloading stuff that will let you edit.

Saves
Reminder: ''Your save file goes under "C:\Users\(You)\Documents\KONAMI\Pro Evolution Soccer 2017\save". The game loads EDIT00000000 as the default file. If you want to run multiple saves for whatever reason, keep that in mind.''


 * '''GCUP Save
 * This is the save used in the running of GCUP. It's a garbled mess and some things may be very broken. Despite past progress, you could argue this was a step back in the quality. Lessons learned however will be valuable.


 * '''Infinity Cup 6 Save
 * This is the save used in the running of Infinity Cup 6


 * 2019 Summer Save
 * This is the save used in the running of the 2019 Summer Infinity Cup


 * The 8chan Cup 4 Save
 * This save has the rosters, stats, and formations of the teams that competed in The 8chan Cup 4.
 * It is organized a little differently than the save file actually used to stream the Cup, but everything that matters is the same as the true save.

Aesthetics
Reminder: If you installed your game normally, DLC goes into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Konami\Pro Evolution Soccer 2017\download".


 * '''GCUP DLC
 * Full DLC for the GCUP.


 * '''Infinity Cup 6 DLC
 * Full aesthetics for Infinity Cup 6. Contains the kits, balls, stadiums, and the slightly larger number of player models we had.


 * 2019 Summer Infinity Cup DLC
 * The full aesthetics pack for the 2019 Summer Infinity Cup, contains all kits, stadiums, and what few player models we had.


 * The 8chan Cup 4 DLC
 * This includes kits, team logos, billboards, and Red Anon fans.
 * March, 2019 Update Now contains the following working stadiums:
 * GenISIS Arena (Stadium 1)
 * Kaiserstadt (Stadium 2)
 * Dan Murphy Cricket Ground (Stadium 13)
 * Big Abo Stadium (Stadium 14)
 * Golden Oak Library Memorial (Stadium 20)
 * Unnamed /tg/ Stadium (Stadium 23)
 * Last Stadium of Romance (Stadium 25)
 * Roman Reigns Memorial Park (Stadium 27)
 * Bonus Stadium (Stadium 39)
 * Use only the listed stadiums and in "Fair" weather. Doing otherwise will crash the game.
