    It is a really good game especially for its price. Gameplay is nearly same as last year except it is more responsive. Game mods are exactly same as last year and graphically nothing new but that is what the company promised for.

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. Expand

    I gave it 10 because there are some really crazy reviews that unfairly punish a great game. My real grade would be an 8.

    The game consolidates and improves the excellent gameplay of last year at the expense of the modes that have remained identical to those of last year, modes that feel the need to be renewed. I have played both FIFA and PES in recent years and I am convinced that

    I have played both FIFA and PES in recent years and I am convinced that the latter gives greater gratification and satisfaction, everything is managed by the hands of the gamer.

    It is as good as a videogame can be in 2020. 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.

    So much better than FIFA.
    Theres much more physicality, the matches feels more genuine as the passes, touches and shots are not always perfect and it is really fun to play! Oh, and there is play in midfield, have you heard about that, EA? The game has its flaws, but it is so much fun to play, and that makes me simply not care when the players sometimes doesn't intercept the ball as it just

    PES 2021 - это просто обновление предыдущей части без изменений в движке, KONAMI этого не скрывают. Но и цена оказалась очень лояльной, на предзаказе цена составила 650р, что меньше 10$ по текущему курсу. Для сравнения, FIFA 21, без изменений, стоит 3500р - 44$, дороже PES в 4 раза!

    По геймплею PES выше на голову, лицензии ставятся одним патчем (гугл в помощь, просто закинуть папку в save и все формы и эмблемы у вас будут).
    Из недостатков - онлайн значительно меньше, чем у EA, есть ивенты, там поиск соперника бодлры, но если что-то менее интереснее, то поиск оппонента на ПК достигает 5 минут! (включен фильтр на поиск только идеального подключения, если фильтр убрать, то оппонент найдется быстрее, но связь с ним будет хуже, условно из России может соединить с ЮАР), рекомендую всё равно ставить фильтр на максимальное качество связи, при игре с таким соперником отклик моментальный, как в оффлайне, без преувелечений.
    Судья стал хуже, чем в PES 2020, возможно поправят, иногда, обведя вратаря соперника (редкая ситуация), он может зацепить кончиком пальцев и срубить нападающего, а судья даже не свистнет.
    В целом, если нравится футбол, вы любите играть, смотреть, то PES для вас, геймплей однозначно лучше чем в фифа, скриптов меньше, пин понга нет, игроки ведут себя как в жизни, подскальзываются, не всегда реализуют моменты и т.д.
    Твёрдые 8 баллов.

    A pretty decent football game. It's my first PES, always was 'on fifa side'. Actually the (all time) negative rating of fifa 21 and the pricing brought me to test it. It has not much changes compared to PES 20 and thats why it's not declaring itself as a fully new game. To be honest thats amazing fair compared to EA, that sells every year a full price game that barely even changed sinceA pretty decent football game. It's my first PES, always was 'on fifa side'. Actually the (all time) negative rating of fifa 21 and the pricing brought me to test it. It has not much changes compared to PES 20 and thats why it's not declaring itself as a fully new game. To be honest thats amazing fair compared to EA, that sells every year a full price game that barely even changed since the last version. The version works although you don't own PES20, therefore I got a full game for 11€ just 4 month after release. Beat that Mr. Microtransaction: EA.

    The gameplay feels solid, there are a lot of individual things to figure out. Unfortunately some KI-blackouts appear from time to time, which can be really tilting, especially in online matches. But thats nothing fifa makes better. The myclub function appears a bit confusing at first but is nice to play. Multiplayer matches have been better than in fifa so far..

    Nevertheless some Critical Points: Since yesterday the game crashes without any error message or anything... i get kicket out of 1-2 games per day by that, the game just shuts down and there is no chance to rejoin even if you imidiately reopen... thats super annoying in ranked matches, Matchmaking (might be unfair sometimes), loong queues in myclub, active player choice/swapping feels unsmooth from time to time and the referee often stops situation instead of let the advangte run...

    Beside this another cirtque is the licenzing... it has always been a thing in PES and is for me still the biggest minus. Beside this it can easily keep up with FIFA right now, maybe even beats it. If you down't own a new fifa/pes version and you can get it cheap, get it.

    Efootball pes 2021 is still my favorite football game in late 2022. With a new option file and some other updates you can have a fantastic realistic game. The passing is so enjoyable and the pace is on point. Feels like I am playing a real football. Love it so much.

    I haven't played football/soccer simulators for a couple of years already, but I used to be familiar with the FIFA vs. PES yearly competition back in a while.

    As video-games tend to move online more and more, PES made the move and even renamed its franchise into eFootball. However, as the new season (started in 2021) had already began, and the next version of PES was already released
    I haven't played football/soccer simulators for a couple of years already, but I used to be familiar with the FIFA vs. PES yearly competition back in a while.

    As video-games tend to move online more and more, PES made the move and even renamed its franchise into eFootball.

    However, as the new season (started in 2021) had already began, and the next version of PES was already released (eFootball 2022), I have met very few online players to face-up with, but I still managed to play some games and, finally, win a vs.COM competition/challenge with the team I started in my game campaign.

    The controls are smooth, it wasn't very hard for me to come back and play this football simulator, even after 10 years, but configuring the controls, either via in-game or from the config application in the game folder, is still a must, before starting to play. Otherwise, you will find yourself in the game without knowing what to do and how to play.

    The PES game version of 2021 is okay, with the online characteristics implemented well enough, imo.

    Świetna gra zwłaszcza w offline .Bardzo dobra grafika i animacje piłkarzy,świetny gameplay który się nie nudzi po wielu godzinach grania.Wersja na PC jest najlepsza ponieważ ma dobre mody które naprawiają niedoskonałości gry takie jak licencje,kolor murawy,piłki itp.

    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.

    PES 2021 is a solid title, but on the whole, is the same as last year's game with few updates.

    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.
