    Just the right balance between a real football simulation and an enjoyable videogame, between difficult and fun. It's very rewarding to pull off a nice play, scoring a goal feels great. I love it and can't wait to go back home and play more.

    Absolitely astonishing!! There are few bugs but as every year those will be removed by update :) Gameplay kicks out the shoes, physics, details, tones of new animation - it freaking make a click! Once u run it you are lost in football emotions for the resr of your life. PES finally became worthy to wear a crown that he lost years ago!

    Great game, if you want a realistic feel to football then this is the game, be prepared to think about where you are going to pass the ball, how you will break down the defence. With the option files you cannot go wrong! If you want the arcade feel then go for Fifa 20.

    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

    A huge advancement from last edition.

    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.

    Overall, as a largely offline player, this game is excellent.    … Expand

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

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

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

    Better than efootball 2021 (season update),Much Better than efootball 2022! Gameplay, graphics, team/club choice.
    paid but worth it, not free but disappointing.

    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.

Master League is also better. I guess in the NG consoles Konami will fix the awkward, repetitive commentators and slightly improved but still outdated menus. Many people are set to buy both footy games this year for different reasons though. Well done Konami. At last!… Expand

    I like the game very much.

    But I don't understand why didn't improve the UI until now. We got a new home screen. That's all. It's not enough. How many year need to you can do it? Unbelievable. This is maybe the "only thing" what you be improve. This is a huge mistake again, because the game is almost perfect witch some edits. I think that I could to find a lot of people who    I like the game very much.

    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.

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.    … Expand

    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.

Let me first say this, there are differences for sure. FIFA is and always will be the best football game on console. There cannot be any doubting that. FIFA is officially licensed almost throughout the entire game whereas PES isn’t. It’s nice that the players have there real names but other than the licensed teams (Man Utd, Arsenal, Celtic, Barcelona, Juventus and Bayern Munich), there’s nothing much else in this game that’s officially licensed and that my friends is what always pulls this good game down. Licensing. But that’s a small gripe. This is a decent football sim you know. Commentary is a bit to be desired, not Tyler and Smith but it’s still very repetitive and occasional boring. Graphics are ok, not FIFA, but still pretty decent. Gameplay is very good. Master League is where is this game excels. But not wanting to drag this review on anymore, it ain’t FIFA but while I wait for that game this will do for the time being. A very good playable football game. FIFA though will come out on top.… Expand

    Master League has improved slightly but It still wishes the in-game menus are changed. It is blocky and lacks some presentation sense. Other than that, boy. It is such an amazing game. Played at my friends place the moment he got it and then after about 4-5 hours playing at his place, I got a copy of my own.

    The game's gameplay is top-notch. So good that it actually feels like a real football game! The AI improved drastically from the PES 2019. PES 2019 Ai will constantly use the same move to score goals that you can never prevent, where else in this game. The Ai virtually response on how you play and exploit your weakness! Just like in a real football match.

    For me, this game is a solid 9/10.    … Expand

    PES vem melhorando desde o 2018 e nesse 2020 percebo uma pequena melhoria.
    Talvez a Konami esteja indo pelo caminho certo, mais alguns pequenos ajustes como "licenças" e o jogo volta a ser igual era no começo do PS3.

    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]
