The save game is called EDIT00000000 and can be found in %HOMEPATH%\documents\KONAMI\Pro Evolution Soccer 2016\save.
It is encrypted and thus, cannot be simply edited directly. Also, when moving from PES15 to PES16, Konami changed both the file names and the ecryption used for save games.
Tools
pes16decrypter
The first decrypter, called pes16decrypter, is a command-line tool and was written by members of the 4chan Cup community. It is available on GitHub. A binary download can also be found there.
The 4CCC maintains its own fork here. Be sure to check both as occasionally one might be ahead of the other.
Hex editors
After decrypting the save file, you may use a hex editor to change a few values yourself. Please keep in mind however that it is very easy to break the save game, so be careful. This is a good and simple way to change player names, for example.
Save game editors
Since the save was not decrypted until recently, there are currently no save game editors. This is expected to change in the near future once the PES modding community catches up with recent developments.

Note: there are some stats/playstyles that were dropped throughout PES iterations, but at least some of them still seem to be present in the player entry. To be on the safe side, we should set them to default values.

Limitations enforced by PES
Even though editing the save files externally technically allows using the full range of all values, PES puts some additional limitations in place. Some of these might be checked and corrected by the game, others are just taken as they are. This might lead to unexpected behavior or even crash the game. Be sure to check Appendix:Rules or the rules of the invitational in question to find out what is considered legal.
This is an incomplete list of the limitations PES enforces:
- Player Name must not exceed 15 characters (the save file allows up to 45).
- Name Print must not exceed 15 characters.
- Age must be in the range of [15, 50].
- Height must be in the range of [155, 210].
- Weight must be in the range of [max(30, height - 129), height - 81].
