From a gameplay psychology perspective, visual accuracy enhances the user's connection to the team. When controlling Barcelona or the Brazilian National Team in PES 2017, users want to emulate the flair and style of their favorite players. Seeing a recognizable Neymar dribble down the left flank—with his specific running style and distinct look—validates the player's input. It reinforces the fantasy that they are controlling the athlete, not just a collection of polygons and stats.
