The English commentary in PES 2017 is legendary. Drury’s poetic calls ("They are dancing on the pitch!") add immense atmosphere. Switching from Russian to English here instantly improves immersion.
If you want, tell me your platform (PC Steam, PC non‑Steam, PS4, Xbox One) and I’ll give exact file names or menu navigation steps.
The PES 2017 community is still active with "Option Files" and "Smoke Patches" that update the game to the 2024/25 season. Most of these patches are built on the English localized base. Using the English language setting ensures that team names, player names, and new league structures display correctly without "glitched" text or empty boxes.
