    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.

    +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

    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.

    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.

    The Worst PES of all time
    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
    speed of players being nonsense
    this is the whole package of a game being stooped

    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.    … Expand

Chutes horríveis, de cada 10 chutes no básico 1 entra, chute avançado é muito difícil, fora que é ridículo o comando que tem que fazer, inverter o analógico, qual o sentido disso? Chute manual então só se você for formado em geometria para conseguir acertar. Passe longos é deplorável, ou o cara manda a bola no pé do adversário ou manda muito a frente, que por sinal sobra para o adversário. O que sobrou nesse jogo foi gráfico, nisso o pes destaca, mas o mais importante que é a gameplay deixou a desejar. Divisões online ainda é jogável, mas ainda tem falhas, não tão frequentes quanto o myclub, mas ainda há. Demora muito par a encontrar adversário. Para jogar offline ainda é ok, não é perfeito, mas dá.    … Expand

    The worst game I have ever played in my life. There is no crumb of artificial intelligence in the game. The controls are awful. If Konami gives this game for free, I wouldn't get it.

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

    Every input and every download of the match-is accompanied by the same data loading (CONSTANTLY). So, before each game you will have to wait for 5 minutes each time! Greetings from GTA V

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

    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.

    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 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.    … 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 game this year is meh. I'm a massive fan of master league but they really didn't add anything new. Wish they added custom managers back. Gameplay wise the most annoying thing is me barely touching the opposition player and giving away a foul. Then the AI scoring a goal from the freekick every time.

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

    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.
