    Player awareness in this game is a joke. Players reactions to the ball is poor. Most of the time they dont know what to do and basically do nothing. For example you pass the ball to one of your teammates and the expected thing from him is controlling the ball but sometimes they cant even do it and they watch and let it go. Even though u try to move him towards to the ball he just doesntPlayer awareness in this game is a joke. Players reactions to the ball is poor. Most of the time they dont know what to do and basically do nothing. For example you pass the ball to one of your teammates and the expected thing from him is controlling the ball but sometimes they cant even do it and they watch and let it go. Even though u try to move him towards to the ball he just doesnt give a **** and keeps doing nothing. Also defenders doesnt intercept when they have the chance and do nothing instead.

    Secondly players against pressure dont move fast or dont do his next move faster. F.e your defender has the ball and an opponent is about to pressure sometimes it takes nearly 2 secons for him to pass the ball and that causes you to lose the ball in such a risky spot.

    Referee's decisions are terrible. Especially card decisions. Havent seen red card yet. And yellow card choices are also terrible 70% wrong.

    If you enjoy playing offline more than online DONT PURCHASE Pes get Fifa and enjoy better offline experience.    … Expand

    Pretty bad game, online is really laggy, no innovation whatsoever. Stick to superior developers like Rockstar or Ubisoft.

    1: Defenders get confused, cant intercept even the most sloppy passes
    2: Trap feint never rewards you a foul and even penalizes you for being taken down.
    3: Receiving balls with desired direction rarely works.
    4:When there is a ricochet ball, even though you realize and fix direction, the player just gets disabled.    … Expand

    Bad metagame. A slap in the faces of Pes fans. The change make the game too Hard to play defensive. The defenders usually make stupid mistake. Finese Touch is good but not enough to save the whole bad game

    Jogabilidade péssima, desbalanceamento entre a CPU e o jogador, muitas faltas marcadas contra e poucas a favor, inteligência artificial pífia.

    this game is horribly clumsy and so frustrating that it is nearly unplayable. this is my opinion, you may disagree. i have a lot of time put into this game and i regret everyone of them.

    the ball physics and the animations seem to be what people usually rate this game on, and they are quite great and feel good, however the frustrating aspects ruin the entire package. 1. terrible AI.    this game is horribly clumsy and so frustrating that it is nearly unplayable. this is my opinion, you may disagree. i have a lot of time put into this game and i regret everyone of them.

    the ball physics and the animations seem to be what people usually rate this game on, and they are quite great and feel good, however the frustrating aspects ruin the entire package.

    1. terrible AI. you will take in goals, and it will be because the AI defending just leaves their position. teammates will make runs that hide them behind opponents or just not make runs into the right positions for a pass.

    the opponents will do one of three things when attacking. pass directly to CF and score. dribble and change directions everytime you try to challenge, if not a foul then pass and try again. or cross. you have no control over the defence

    2. terrible commentators. They make statements that sound like a child´s comments on a game. they make contradictions within the same sentences, and seem to misunderstand the very basics of tactics.

    3. terrible career mode "story" it isn´t worthy of a ps2 game.

    4. poor graphics.

    5. scripting is worse than in fifa IMO. games either end 7-0 or 3-2 or something similar. very unrealistic and unappealing for someone who loves football.

    6. poor balance between players. the best players are unstoppable and the not so great players are useless (a result of money being involved in online games like FUT)

    7. useless referee. I was fouled and my teammate "went for the ball" which will always happen (it´s programmed to) and then the offside was called on him which is against the rules. often opponents will run directly into you while you have the ball and get a foul. sometimes murder attempts will get ignored as a glitch. etc just the beginning.

    8. very basic gameplay, very little choice in how you interact with the game and control it.

    to sum it up. the game has great animations and can feel good when passing it around but is frustrating in every aspect besides it, from the menu to the core gameplay, referee, GK, AI. It seems that there just won´t be a great football game any time soon.

    this comes from someone who have been playing football games since they were 8. many of the people giving this game above 6 or 7 haven´t played it enough for it to show it´s flaws, like most sports games do.    … Expand

    The only thing good in the game is the grafics, the gameplay is trash, If I were one the creators of this version of the game I would be ashamed.

    I played soccer games in the playstore in my phone better than this CRAP.

    I like the game a lot, the gameplay is very good and the graphics too, the only bad thing is the licenses and the arbitration

    PES 2020 is better than FIFA in terms of ball physics, tackling, stadiums and the overall gameplay. However, PES 2020 is lacking incredibly simple but also essential features. One of my favorite things to do on FIFA was to create a custom tournament with my brother. We'd skip the boring matches and switch sides occasionally. Both of these features are not present in PES 2020. Why? ThisPES 2020 is better than FIFA in terms of ball physics, tackling, stadiums and the overall gameplay.

We'd skip the boring matches and switch sides occasionally. Both of these features are not present in PES 2020. Why? This incredible game is ruined by the fact that PES developers either can't be assed or aren't competent enough to include features that have been present with the competition for years now. PES, I can forgive you for not including licenses, there is a fix for that. But for the love of god, don't make playing this game a hassle. Step up for god's sake. I quit playing PES due to the non-present features, and really hope that the developers will add these basics to the future games, otherwise PES won't keep up with FIFA.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is not realistic at all don't know any players that just stand in the middle of the field ref calls fouls on you but doesn't call fouls on the other team even though clearly you can see the foul and pushing in my 16 years of soccer was against the rules. So when you go to do your maintenance might wanna look at fixing those problems or I can garentu I won't be playing anymore nothing makes a he more frustrating that one that can't follow the rules lol this game is becoming the biggest piece of **** I've ever played I can play better than these **** idiots and there supposed to be pro **** me lmfao… Expand

    eFootball PES 2020 keeps all the merits of the series but lacks any significant breakthroughs. Still, it’s a good sports sim, especially in multiplayer.

    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]

    Fantastic improvements on and off the pitch, from licences to new gameplay refinements and a visual upgrade, ensure this year’s PES is the best it’s been for a generation. [Issue#168, p.82]
