    Forget the idiots giving this game a negative rating. They probably don't even own Pes2020.

    On a serious note the game is amazing. Its football at its finest. Install an option file and you are sorted with licencing issues.

    Cant wait to start My Club

    Quality game! Master League is a dream, no issues with transfers, good challenge with signing players. Gameplay is superb, physicality is awesome, feels like you're in a real tussle. You have the ability to play different styles of play, top drawer!!!

    AMAZING! This is the first pes game I've played and owned..... And my goodness what a game. I've been playing FIFA for over 13 years. I must say this is the best football game I have ever played. The authenticity is absolutely remarkable. It actually feels like youre playing football. Thank you KONAMI

    A true football simulation. A return to form and back in front of FIFA for the first time since the PS2 days, The physics of the ball are sublime and scoring goals is truly rewarding. Do yourself a favour and pick this up. It really is the beautiful game.

    good graphics, but gameplay is MEH. player AI is trash. makes no fun at all. if KONAMI improves AI and gameplay, it would be a much better game. but they dumbed it down for the masses.

    Definitely the best playing PES in a while. Feels like the glory days of PS2. The thing about PES is this. It's all about the goals. The variety of goals you will see yourself and the computer score is astounding. You will never see the same goal twice. You may see similar types of goals, which true of real life futbol as well, but never an exact copy of a goal. That's something KonamiDefinitely the best playing PES in a while. Feels like the glory days of PS2. The thing about PES is this. It's all about the goals. The variety of goals you will see yourself and the computer score is astounding. You will never see the same goal twice. You may see similar types of goals, which true of real life futbol as well, but never an exact copy of a goal. That's something Konami gets right with PES and this year the goals are better than ever.

    I'm giving the game an 8 though legacy inconsistencies remain and at this point they should have been ironed out. Defending and trapping control issues remain and on higher difficulties it seems as the game takes over at times and your players don't respond as well. It's get frustrating sometimes because it doesn't feel fair when you get scored on in a close match due to AI limiting your own players.
    However, this is the same issue that's always plagued PES. I've learned to live with it and fully enjoy the game. Also, you still need an option file but this year they really packed in a lot of smaller leagues so it all feels much more official. You'll only need options for a few missing kits honestly, but's still a pain to set up.

    Another minus is the refs have apparently disappeared again this year but the CPU will get all the calls it needs to set up multiple free kicks just outside your box. CPU free kicks are automatic unless you get lucky and knock it back with a wall jump.

    For all the glitchy AI problems though, Konami made sure the goalies were revamped and you can really see a difference. They rarely allow any shady goals and top goalies are a terror in some games. A good goalie can save a match for you or vice versa as the cpu goalies are tough.

    I think this is the best PES in years and I've pretty much played them all. I'll stick with it for a while but it does have it's issues on the field. Still, it's better than FIfa on the pitch and the revamped ML is pretty fun as always, but no major renovations there. Just a few changes to the presentation that bring the mode to life a bit. I would highly recommend this game for any footy fan since it hits where it counts, in the game-play department. And despite my annoyance with some of the AI inconsistencies, this is still the most polished version of PES I have played yet.

    PS. I've been reading a lot of the negative reviews. Not sure where some of these people are coming from except that yes there are a few scripting/control issues which are legacy PES issues. AI certainly does not score every shot and the goalies are very good in this game. Gameplay is pretty fluid and responsive for the most part. The issue of scripting is completely overblown by these negative reviewers in my opinion.    … Expand

    KONAMI also did some work on edit part ,where generic team names were replaced with names of the cities making it a lot easier to find your club rather then browsing through Merseyside Red and Blue,also kit colours actually match the real colours of the teams ,there is also an easy fix for unlicensed teams called Option files ,allowing you to install custom logos and kits fixing the unlicensed part of the game.(Microsoft prevents use of third party files so this unfortunetly doesn't apply for Xbox)
    Master league is amazing ,konami followed EA in addition of press conference interactive scenes where you answer the questions.
    MyClub is still behind Ultimate team but closing the gap ,it's a lot easier to build the team in MyClub.
    The parts where Konami can and hopefully will improve are presentation for licensed leagues ,like scoreboards and league graphic.
    Commentary needs to be a bit better as it seams like Peter Drury is having a delayed reaction to what is happening on the pitch.
    It seams every year if PES adds something it usually means we have to give something up this really has to stop.    … Expand

    Since the resurgence if PES back in 2015 it looks like Konami have done a really decent job with this installment.

    Not a big fan of the online aspects of this as MyClub is just confusing.

    However as what I've done this year as every year, I have a fully licensed PES and this is because of the massive and really talented devoted community making top quality Option Files. Master League never disappoints but this year feel even better with a step in the right direction

    And to compare it with Fifa'20 career mode, which is in a shambles, this is way better.

    Excellent gameplay, with smooth responsive controls. It punishes inexperience in some areas, notably around freekicks, where it gives you options for both jumping the wall and directing your keeper. Passing in general is realistic and smooth when done right, but ultimately how you fare will depend on how you do in the tactical battle against opponents.

    The AI is quite adaptive with how they deal with you. If you get too one dimensional, most opponents will work you out and stifle you. They will look for weaknesses, and if you have glaring ones, they will be found.

    Excellent graphics as ever from the series, and the quality and coverage of faces is the best of any football game ever released.

    The improvements to licensing and editing is also notable, with a number of new teams in the series. Notably, the return of Juventus, Bayern and Manchester United are good to see. With a licenced Serie A, and Serie B, it is the most complete Italian football experience out there are the moment.

    The game will also be the official game of Euro 2020, with a free DLC coming later in the year. Notably, however, all European nations are already in the game and full licenced. This is the first time this has ever happened for a football game, with all previous Euro games not having all teams licenced. PES 2016 had all real players, but some unlicenced teams in the competition, and many European sides missing. Euro 2012 by EA didn't even having both of the hosts licenced, one not even having real players. PES 2020 already has everybody, including Andorra, Gilbraltar, etc. It will be interesting to see the final version of the mode.

    MyClub is fun, but if that's all you're really into it, it would be worth playing PESLite first instead. The game is so much more than it's cashgrab online mode, which seems a requirement in modern sports gaming for whatever reason.

    The online itself is fun, but the game really shines offline. I would recommend it to anyone who misses the days career mode being the main mode in football games.

    Physics still suck its the same game as pes 2017 that i owned. U cant release every year the same **** make something new in the end. And why does every time score a foul outside the penalty area when its free kick? How is that even possible in real life ...This is not football but ping pong.

    o PES 2020 é o melhor PES da história:
    - Gameplay muito boa, muito melhor do que a do jogo passado, priorizando a posse de bola
    - Os gráficos melhoraram em relação ao anterior
    - A Master League ficou muito boa e o melhor q achei foi o preço dos jogadores que foram feitos baseado nos dados da vida real

    playing master league. where do i even begin. i have been playing pes since winning eleven on ps2 and all i can say after 10h is that this game is by far the most frustrating experience i have ever had. the AI either scores goals by passing the ball without you ever touching it or because your player stops for no reason and doesent go for the ball and then its simply a through ball andplaying master league. where do i even begin. i have been playing pes since winning eleven on ps2 and all i can say after 10h is that this game is by far the most frustrating experience i have ever had. the AI either scores goals by passing the ball without you ever touching it or because your player stops for no reason and doesent go for the ball and then its simply a through ball and goal. and dont get me started on the referee because that guy must be paid by the AI team every match because right before you can make a through pass when on a counter you get tackled from behind with circle which is a yellow and often direct red card and 9/10 the referee lets the game continue and robs you of a 100% goal chance. you on the other hand as much as sneeze in the general direction of the AI and its a foul. Weaker teams get a boost to play like world champions and often even when you have 65% posession and many chances the ball magically decides nope i'm going just past the goal shot after shot chance after chance. oh and did i mention that sometimes the controls become either unresponsive or the player does what he wants regardless of your button input all just so the AI can gain an advantage? sounds like fun right? scripting, scripting and more scripting

    i could go on but i think you understand why all of this is a problem and takes away all the fun which otherwise could have been a great game. good thing i bought this travesty of a game on the recent psn sale for 5 euros but believe me if i could get a refund i would gladly have them give me back my money.    … Expand

    This game is just amazing ,the master league/ career mode and Become a levend / player's career mode are so funny and imersive.
    The gameplay is better than never cause of the new finesse dribling system andthe new camera angle.
    The worst thing is.my club/ online mode. This mode is way too easy and not challenging.

    Veo a muy poca gente indignada con este juego y, sinceramente, no lo entiendo. Después de muchos partidos jugados en liga master, puedo confirmar lo siguiente:

    - Los árbitros son pésimos, descaradamente manipulados por la I.A. - Faltas inventadas constantemente que cortan el ritmo de juego. - Tarjetas amarillas a tutiplén sin, ni si quiera, llegar a tocar al jugador rival.

    - Los árbitros son pésimos, descaradamente manipulados por la I.A.
    - Faltas inventadas constantemente que cortan el ritmo de juego.
    - Tarjetas amarillas a tutiplén sin, ni si quiera, llegar a tocar al jugador rival. Incluso tocando la pelota, la mitad de las veces o más, te sacan tarjeta amarilla.
    - Fueras de juego que se generan por arte de magia.
    - Empanadas de muchos jugadores: unas veces no disputan la pelota, otras veces se generan conflictos cuando la pelota está entre varios de ellos, etc.

    Empecé a jugar a este juego hace muchísimos años (PES 4) y le tenía cierto cariño a la saga pero después de tantos días tilteado con esta versión, lo odio a un nivel bestial y me obliga, muy a mi pesar, a reemplazarlo por FIFA.

    Konami, tu juego es una auténtica porquería. La gestión de fichajes es muy deficiente y, visualmente, no aporta nada desde hace muchos tiempo. Las nuevas animaciones de las ruedas de prensa del entrenador o las charlas con el equipo son de risa.

    Había pensado prenderle fuego y grabarlo, para después enviar el vídeo a Konami y publicarlo en las redes. Pero al final no, me he decantado por ponerlo a la venta a un precio de risa.

    Espero que algún día aparezca una nueva franquicia que le dé una patada a EA Sports y Konami. Una compañía que sepa sacar lo mejor de ambos juegos, que cuiden la I.A., mimen los modos offline y no se olviden de actualizar las frase de los comentaristas de los partidos.

    Worst game in the franchise. It started very well but over time it was showing that it would be the worst game in the franchise with excessive bugs, exaggerated handcap, lack of content in my club mode, updates without improvements in gameplay and total neglect of the konami.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Awful game. I played loads of PES 2017 Myclub, master league and Be a legend. Enjoyed it alot. Skipped 18 and 19 and came back this year buying 20 at lauch. Despite buying it at launch and having loads of the best players I've still hardly played it as the gameplay is so bad. I don't know what happened since 17 but sometimes it feels like the devs don't even play football. Things like the CBs not being in the penalty area to defend corner kicks. You'll have your small full back matching up against the opp centre forward for an easy headed goal, feels very cheap. The AI feels really bad. It's sluggish and has gone backwards from 17. Often feels very scripted and you may aswell go and play FIFA as whatever made PES different and unique is gone. And of course no changes to the offline modes as usual. Stop releasing yearly games if this is the trash you come out with clearly you need more time.… Expand

    Aside from good graphics, player response as opposed to Cpu controlled is terrible. Also, the refereeing is absolutely laughable, I have played the master league for 5 seasons and i have been fowled in the 18 yard box countless times and i have never been given a penalty. 5 seasons and not a single penalty awarded.

    Just "minutes" before the new console gen is at hand, PES really shines. The new camera, animations and refined gameplay both in offence and defense finally cure all past shortcomings. The ball is not an air balloon no more and no goal seems the same. Excellent goalkeepers (!) and fixed refs who don't disrupt the flow of the game. Gameplay-wise FIFA must struggle to catch-on.

Many people are set to buy both footy games this year for different reasons though. Well done Konami. At last!… Expand

    The 2020 edition is the most realistic virtual football I have ever encountered. After learning the gameplay’s basics you get a lot of fun and each passing hour makes it even better. Shame that after finishing the career, checking out the multiplayer and playing a few exhibition matches there is nothing left to do here. [12/2019, p.64]
