    Honestly the best football game ever made, even if the online servers are dead.

    PES 2020 revolutionized the football games industry, a complete masterpiece of a game, the graphics are amazing and the gameplay is realistic, unlike what we see in the last fifa editions.

    Even thought the game isn't fully licensed, its very easy to update the game using options files.

    Better than efootball 2021 (season update),Much Better than efootball 2022! Gameplay, graphics, team/club choice.
    paid but worth it, not free but disappointing.
    R.I.P Konami with eFootball 22

    This is a best and professional series of PES about Graphics. But not as good as PES 2018

    I think PES is getting more realistic, but I don't enjoy it more, because there are fewer variations in scoring goals, PES 2013 is better

    Just to encourage Konami to go on and improve the little design and menu issues around the game , lets go for an eight here instead of a 6 or a 7.

The myClub mode is actually something that could really change everything for it is very close to the Ultimate Team idea where you can create your own team. So why is not everybody playing PES rather than FIFA. The UI / UX is really not what I would call state of the art even FIFA ist better here. While FIFA lacks good gameplay, this one lacks everything outside the actual game. And talking about the licenses , lets not even go there. Lets all assume you guys are gonna chip-in and buy the license file from one of the good folks, gathering the whole data for us. Expand

Overall it’s a good football game but let’s be honest, the football game industry has really disappointed football fans in the past 5 years maybe even before that. You’d really think looking back at previous games from the past that football games would be amazing at this stage but sadly that isn’t the case as Konami and ea aren’t making any progress at all. Also this game frustrating but it’s still fun to play. Expand

    El juego esta genial lo mires por donde lo mires lo único que falla para mí, es que en ser una leyenda si te creas un jugador, puede que te metan en un equipo medio grande y te puedes pasar la temporada en el banquillo, esto lo tendrían que poner de otra forma aunque no fuera tan realista

    This game turned be back onto Fútbol games after many years of skipping out on the same Fifa games year after year. I'm glad I bought the Legends Edition which included Ronaldinho (at 39, but still a Legend)

    Fantastisch.
    Leider hat die Konkurenz mehr Modi mehr Lizenzen
    und ne größere Community... Deswegen wird das Spiel
    immer "ausgelacht". Ganz nüchtern betrachtet
    ist PES insgesamt das besser Spiel .
    Bessere Grafik, Ballphysik und generell das komplette
    Gameplay. Eventuell sollte man es mal porbieren statt immer
    darüber zu lachen und es nie probieren...

    One of the best soccer games in this series. Konami has shown it can be better than EA. However fanboys still stick to the FIFA. I was a FIFA player before but I'm not a fanboy! ;) ...

The newest modes include Matchday Mode, which is my overall personal favourite as it allows you to go against in form matches from the previous weeks matches in order to simulate them. Master League, I feel has received a number of revamps most notably, in regards to the major story progression side of things, for example with major cutscenes often taking place within staff meetings, training sessions, and/or press conferences. Objectives can also be given by the players based on replies to those cutscenes. This alone I feel made the Master League mode come in huge leaps and bounds, compared to the previous PES Games. This game is most definitely a must recommend for Konami PES Fans!!! Expand

    It's a good game, Phisic has been greatly improved, and it has a great advantage in customization and ... However, it has several features that Konami Withdrew and An online mode from bad!

    Veel beter dan Tour De France 2020.
    Degelijk spel dat alle jaren beter aan het worden is.
    Nu de licenties nog kunnen betalen en het is volledig in orde.
    Hopelijk een fantastische uitgifte tegen de tijd dat ik naar het rusthuis ga.

    Pes 2020 is by far better than fifa at this point, pes has great graphics, and the ball moves like a real life game ball, also the new clubs are a great catch. Plus if you want all the real clubs all you have to do is install the option files, and then you have all the clubs.

    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.

    Finalmente chegou um concorrente decente para acabar com o monopólio lixo da EA Games com o ''FIFA'', curti o jogo, é bem realista e muito bacana de se jogar com amigos. Só gostaria que tivessem mais clubes licenciados e mais organização no menu, porém se tu és fã de futebol, compre e desfrute que esse jogo é muito bom.

    O ultimo PES que eu havia jogado foi o 2016, após isso só joguei FIFA, mas a EA só vinha cagando no jogo. Decidi ir de PES esse ano e não me arrependi, o campeonato brasileiro está muito bom, em relação as ligas não licenciadas, um option file resolve.

    KONAMI has refined the Fox engine over the last 7 years and this game is the culmination. The gameplay just feels SO good, and realistically mimics a real football game. There are a couple of issues which can break the immersion, such as defenders cluelessly unaware of the situation they're in, but overall this is the best gameplay in any football game I've played. The ball physics areKONAMI has refined the Fox engine over the last 7 years and this game is the culmination. The gameplay just feels SO good, and realistically mimics a real football game. There are a couple of issues which can break the immersion, such as defenders cluelessly unaware of the situation they're in, but overall this is the best gameplay in any football game I've played. The ball physics are insane and every pass, clearance, shot feels fantastic and realistic. You will never score the same goal twice. Scoring worldies is very difficult, but incredibly rewarding if pulled off. There is also a very wide range of animations now to the point where it rivals FIFA, and even beats it in some regards (GK animations for example). Overall I have very few complaints with the gameplay.

    The lack of licenses and game modes also doesn't bother me personally, since I mostly play Master League (which is addictive as always), and can use an option file to get the correct teams, badges and kits in around 10 minutes.

    If you're comparing MyClub to FIFA's ultimate team though, there isn't a comparison. PES's offering is much more limited though KONAMI is much more generous with its coins so it's easier to build a solid squad and play online. Likewise my criticism of both modes in PES and FIFA is that they are essentially pay-to-win and you will mostly be lining up against Messi-Ronaldo-Mbappe every game.

    The graphics are superb, and although the same level of matchday presentation isn't present as in FIFA, the faces look much better and generally a higher proportion of the players in the game have their faces scanned compared to FIFA, where most of the scanned players are from the Premier League or La Liga. Fans of the Turkish, or Italian league for example, can enjoy a much more realistic experience with PES thanks to the real faces, despite the lower production value in the cutscenes.

    Best soccer game ive ever played, graphics ar phenomenal. It has to improve in the future the liberty of some movements, but it is a proper football game. Hope they could continue on this way.

    Before PES 2020, I only played FIFA, but I'm tired of the fact that year after year, the developers of FIFA hack and release almost the same game.. I tried the game from Konami and I really liked it, I still play it. I was particularly pleased with the thorough approach to my favorite team Bayern Munich. Thank you for allowing patches to be used)

    Been playing PES for 15 years. I can honestly say this one is the best overall. There are still some minor problems with the game however, the series is on the right direction.
    try this one you will fall in love with it.

    this game is great!
    1_master league is clearly better than career mode.because of more realistic transfers and better at searching players...
    2_graphic is fantastic!
    3_in the license konami was good but not so good .they do not have a bundesliga license but why they do the same thing they done to laliga?

    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]
