He's known for being one of the most technically gifted players in the game. Throughout the whole of PES, he's always had very high Body Balance, Technique and Shot Technique.

[edit] PES 2013

Ibrahimovic plays for PSG after a summer transfer from Milan.
He has a new preset face showing his trademark ponytail. Ibra's height and weight changed again in this version: he is now 194 cm. and 94 kg, making him 1 kg. ligthter and 1 cm. shorter than in PES 2012. His speed stats were lowered in PES 2013 but his technical abilities had a boost; in particular Shot Accuracy was raised form 85 to 90 making him a lethal finisher thanks to his 93 in Shot Power.
His overall as centre forward is 93, 1 point higher than in PES 2012. He has a new secondary position as AMF which is his default position in the Swedish national team in PES 2013. He had a stat update in the March DLC that changed some of his key stats. In this update he gained a rating of 98 in Body Balance, making him the most phisically strong player ever in PES together with Jan Koller.

[edit] PES 2012

Ibrahimovic stats have been lowered in this installment with only Body Balance remaining in the God Region at 96. Most notably Attack passed from 95 to 94, Dribble Accuracy from 95 to 89 and Technique from 97 to 94. Furthermore his peak stat in previous PES, Shot Technique, was erased from the game rating system. However Ibrahimovic' s height and weight are higher than in previous PES, being 195 cm. and 95 kg. instead of 192 cm. and 84 kg. that was an old measurement, from his early years of career, still mantained until PES 2011. These changes make Ibrahimovic in PES 2012 a better target man and centre forward but a worst dribbler and all around striker. His overall as centre forward is 92.

[edit] PES 2011

He mantains the same stats of PES 2010, however is primary position is now Centre Forward in which he shows a peak overall rating of 97. He's still in the Barcelona roster in the PES 2011 demo and also in the game until the October update is installed.

At AC Milan he is part of one of the strongest striker force of the game playing with the likes of Ronaldinho, Robinho, Pato and Filippo Inzaghi. With a rating of 98, he has the highest Shot Technique in the game, excluding classic players.

[edit] PES 2010

In PES 2010 Ibrahimovic had a little statboost. His Shot Power, Speed and Technique were increased but he lost one point in both Attack and Body Balance, giving the sceptre of body balance king to Didier Drogba after the Ivorian body balance boost in this edition. Zlatan appears in FC Barcelona squad making the team one of the (if not the) best in the game after joining a striker force boasting the likes of himself, Messi and Henry. In the game he features the playstyle card Trickster which, if enabled, makes him a skilled dribbler who uses step overs to great effect in wizarding past the opposition. However this card has no effect when he plays in the centre forward role.

He becomes the new captain of the Swedish National Team after Henrik Larsson retired.

[edit] PES 2009

Ibrahimovic is back in the Sweden squad in PES 2009; he is able to boast the skill to perform the Elastico, as well as being technically gifted. Zlatan's technical presence and target man physique make him a lethal finisher in front of goal. After the February Update his Body Balance (97) is the highest in the game making it harder than ever for defenders to push him off the ball.

[edit] PES 2008

Inter Milan striker Ibrahimovic is in the Swedish national team in real life, but was left out of the national team in PES08 to many gamers displeasure (Zlatan had broken a team curfew while playing for Sweden in real life and was omitted from the national team at the time Konami updated the squads), as this would mean Zlatan would not be in the Swedish national team in the Network mode. With mixed opinions of him in real life, and on PES, Zlatan is often seen as highly overrated or harshly criticised.

[edit] PES 6

Ibrahimovic joins Inter Milan after Juventus's relegation and pairs up with Adriano to form one of the best default attacking line-up's in a PES game. His finishing and strength are his main attributes and compliment Adriano's power and shooting ability in this game.

[edit] PES 5

Ibrahimovic is a strong striker in this game and is found playing for Juventus. He already shows a 95 rating in those that will be his peak stats through the series: Body Balance, Shot Technique and Technique. Although he is deemed as a top striker, Alessandro Del Piero and David Trezeguet are preferred to the young Swede as first choice forwards.

[edit] PES 4

This installment is one of the earlier versions of PES in which Ibrahimovic appeared on playing for AFC Ajax. He also had a Preset Face due to his involvement with the national side. He was only known by his first name.
