    Aside from a handful of updates, PES 2021 is ultimately the same as last year's game. So if you already have it, it's not worth the upgrade. But this release asks an important question of us, as gamers and as consumers: are we prepared to tide ourselves over on off-years with packages like this while developers strive for bigger innovations between major releases? Even in normal life, and without new console hardware on the horizon? It certainly seems a more honest business practice to clearly delineate season updates from true new main releases. Ultimately, an evaluation of - deep breath - eFootball PES 2021 Season Update is a review of the IP's business model as much as the football itself. And for the promise of greater leaps forward to come, I’m cautiously in favour.

They announced couple of months before release that they will be working on PES 2022 for two years instead of one to adapt to the new engine to prevent another PES 2014 and there won't be nothing new for PES 2021 except new squads and kits and therefore it is half the price of what it used to be. It is more honest than doing this and asking full price like what FIFA does every year and despite anything else it is good game and it is fun to play with.… Full Review »

They took the base game and polished it. So it is now even more fluid, exciting and realistic. It is not an arcade rushfest. It is a realistic paced, tactical and skillful football game.… Full Review »
