    Una pena, porque la jugabilidad y gráficos son bastante buenos, pero entre el handicap e intentar premiar a los que hacen micropagos...el juego se vuelve injugable.

    Utter garbage. Five seasons and countless matches played in Become A Legend mode, not once did my player or any teammates get awarded a single free kick. NOT. ONE. SINGLE. FOUL. AWARDED. Challenge a rival AI player, though, free kick or penalty awarded around 50% of the time. Between PES and FIFA, football gaming is utterly ruined. Both are steaming turd.

    This game is getting worst and worst. So many stupid things inside. Referees are perfect (counting on millimetres offsides, fouls at every leg touching, no hand ball, etc), players and position (leaving free balls, defenders always fasters then attackers with ball, perfect free kickers, etc.)...

    The game should be great. And you can feel it one out of the 10 times it doesn't try and change the playability via handicap. Handicap?

Such a shame that these dollar desperate employers from Konami, not to say another thing, think they had to do this to make new people be interested in the game. I've just uninstalled it. They lost a loyal player, who's been playing this franchise for the last two decades, for what? For being dishonest and completely, but completely unintelligent about the way they tackle the problem. I really hope Fifa gains all the players and they all end up with no jobs, thanks to their own greed. All bad luck in the world for you, Konami.… Expand

    If you want to play online just don't buy this game because it's a disaster. Cheating is out of control and Konami doesn't doing anything, scripting, momentum shifting, garbage animations, just don't buy it.

    - The ref is a damn joke. Sliding with 2 feet at the back of the ankles with no chance to get the ball? Instead of red (which it should be) 'just a warning' or yellow.

    - All trainers outside of Spain or England who aren't coaching clubs that well-known worldwide seem to use the 'long ball strategy', 'full defense' etc. Goddamn lazy. Nevermind the fact that they also don't use the proper trainers at the start of the game.

    - Commentary seems to be used at 0 IQ American football gamers. Boring and dumb af. Also, really few unique commentatory lines.

    - Game doesn't offer windowed fullscreen

    - To exit the game you need to navigate to the 'Options'. Which fool thought that up?

    - Physics model is a disaster.

    - Multiplayer: no anti-cheat present at all. While they do use MTs.

    I thought EA Sports was bad. Konami is worse.    … Expand

    I would give it like -10 if I could, It is a terrible game, unrealistically slow, AI is a jock, goalkeeper animations like Spiderman, and man the scripting, handicaps or whatever you wanna call it is there all the time and will f*** up your nervous system constantly, it`s a fake fake fake game.
    Don`t pay for this Konami is the same as EA.

    Zero improvement compared to its earlier version with all the flaws as usual. Offline gameplay could be rated at about 7/10, online gameplay is -10/10, hence, an average of 0.

    The worst pass system i have ever seen in my 20 years of playing soccer games
    you know, the origin of the problem is not the game only but it is the staff which is working on these games specially who evaluate this game and accept to publish to crowd
    what a disappointing game

Tiene cosas muy buenas pero no alcanzan a opacar lo malo, son puntos negativos demasiado importantes. Pésimo en los pases, pases filtrados infames, el juego por las bandas es asquerosamente inútil, al menos en cuando juegas contra la I.A. esta siempre te anticipa y constantemente te lesiona tus jugadores; por ejemplo, yo jugué la liga master con el Milán, y compré a Vinícius Júnior, y no había pasado ni la mitad de temporada y ya me lo habían lesionado cuatro veces, que por cierto eso también es infame, la facilidad con la que se te lesionan los jugadores. En contra parte cuando toca defender constantemente te marcan faltas absurdas, porque la mecánica de defensa es malísima y la horrible inteligencia artificial de los árbitros hace que el juego sea sumamente soporífero al estar pausando constantemente el juego, ya sea por faltas de mi equipo o del rival. La posesión del balón también me pareció horrible, hace falta muy poco para que el rival te quite el balón, pero luego en cambio para recuperar el balón es inmamable, creía que solamente EA había arruinado su FIFA 2020, pero no, lamentablemente me encontré con el mismo defecto en la entrega más reciente de Konami.
    Me quedo sin ninguna duda con el PES 2019, muchísimo mejor que este nuevo PES, creo que no lo había pasado tan mal con ningún PRO Evolution, al menos no con ninguno de la ultima década.    … Expand

They even left out Marco Reus!? How?! Why?! 2) why does anyone even appreciate this game when there is like nothing licensed within? 3) gameplay feels nice, until the super lazy and obnoxious scripting kicks in and suddenly you have one AI player completely outplaying you. Sure both Fifa and Pes has scripting (i hate scripting), but PES scripting is a horrible experience.

    Cant even say im looking forward to next gen, especially of all they focus on is graphics. The game needs a MAJOR gameplay and “master league” overhaul, and PAY FOR LICENSING for god sake.    … Expand

    Bad AI design fot both team mates and opponent.
    The worst : Passing system . ball traveling all over the place low accuracy of pass even with good players

    +1 for good graphics. -9 for everything else.

    There's so much that's wrong with this game. The ai all play the same way. The ai cheats. Ai player stats are ignored and they all dribble like Maradona and defend like Vidic. Ai will win all tackles and never fouls, will intercept and block everything. Don't bother playng this game. It's rage-inducing

    If you enjoy sniper referees and aimbot AI then this piece of **** seems to be a perfect fit for you. It's utterly pointless to play this solo, as AI is just faking natural play while being careful not to show too much perfection. But it's still there, just sloppily hidden. Do not recommend, buy fifa.

    For eFootball PES 2021, all of this adds up to a soccer game that feels great to play, even if it is slightly lacking in other areas. The $40 price tag makes that pill easier to swallow, though. Depending on what you're looking for on the virtual pitch, that will determine whether PES is the right option for you. If you're like me and enjoy playing through a season with some random teams that you've never heard of, then PES may be exactly what you're looking for. With solid controls and decent AI, PES 2021 is a competent alternative to FIFA from a gameplay perspective, but those who get excited about seeing their favorite teams succeed against their biggest rivals may want to pass on PES.

    eFootball PES 2021 is an update to last season's title that comes at a reduced price with very little news. A title with few incentives if you arrive since last season, but excellent if you enter the series for the first time with a more than adjusted price.
