I started out by putting together an option file for my personal enjoyment and thought I’d share it with you – I didn’t want to lose out by using one option file over another, or by combining two different files and losing half of what the first one applied (or suffering from duplicate players).
Now, here we are – VERSION 2 (compatible with DP2) of my Best of Everything (BOE) file is ready, which was started from scratch, with lots of improvements!
As before, the aim of this file was to combine all data and images humanly possible, to provide the most complete option file (with the fewest bugs).
This file incorporates all the data from several big option files, and all of their subsequent fixes, plus literally hundreds of fixes of my own – as well as a lot of cool extras (updated banner text for most European teams, for example)!
This version is based on the last Live Update released in October 2016. All teams have been exported in order for all data to be “frozen in time” at the same date when imported, which I prefer.
Key features…
No duplicates (fingers crossed).
No fake teams or players (other than ones that shouldn’t appear in the Master League).
Real logos for all unlicensed teams.
Real competition logos for all competitions.
Includes the Bundes, MLS and J-League (replacing the fake European, American and Asian leagues respectively) as well as all current Champions League teams and all the best Latin American teams.
Real kits for all teams (including PESWorld’s super-detailed kits for the top European leagues) – I’ve even spent (far too many painful) hours making sure the player name / squad number / shorts number settings are right for most leagues (i.e. can be seen against the colour of the shirt and don’t obscure the manufacturer logo on the shorts).
All stadium images for the Bundes, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Serie A – along with all Champions League teams, from the Netherlands, Portugal and Other Europe.
Correct stadium names for all teams along with customisation (different seat colours etc.) where appropriate.
All manager images for the Bundes, La Liga, Ligue 1, Serie A, Other Europe (including all Champions League teams), Other Americas and Other Asia.
Correct manager names for all teams*.
Custom banner text for most European teams, along with correct rivalry data for more entertaining derby days!
Tactical and lineup updates for most major European leagues and teams courtesy of a great little Operation Sports thread (but not “fluid formation” ones, as I felt the AI benefits more from having a selection of three standard formations).
*Managers have been left as they were at the start of the 16/17 season where possible, as some teams are currently managerless, but also to keep the data as close as it was to when the transfer window closed.
The only issue is that some stadiums (in Other Europe and Other Americas) have a plain “PES 2017” image set as their stadium picture, because there’s no way to unassign a stadium picture without resetting all stadium details and reinputting them (which I wasn’t prepared to do). If you’re not happy with that, once you’ve completed the import, just delete the “PES 2017” stadium image – then, you’ll only ever see the Konami default stadium image where a team has no stadium image assigned (unless you upload any additional stadium pictures)!
Lots and lots of people I need to thank (from this website unless stated otherwise)…

The instructions differ depending on which version you download. Full instructions are included in the README file in each download, and need to be followed to the letter. Please read carefully!
PROBLEMS?
If you have any issues, please reply to this thread and I’ll look into them. I won’t have as much free time from now, but should there be any duplicate issues that apply to everyone, I’ll look at some kind of fix (if you use a “live update”, I can’t provide support, as your issues will be different from other people).
DONATIONS
Collating all of this and plugging the holes, applying fixes, triple-checking everything is assigned as it should be, and then spotting that you can’t see some random team’s player names on the backs of their shirt because they’re both the same colour… It’s been an exhausting few weeks with a lot of logging off at 4am-6am and a very pissed-off missus. If you’d like to donate, then thank you, very, very much. I hope this option file provides someone with some happiness! DONATE VIA PAYPAL.
