    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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'.

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

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.

    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.

    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.
