    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!

    In terms of gameplay, this has to be one of the best sports game ever. Licenses, well the community patches do the trick. On the pitch the slightly slower game play actually makes it much more realistic then ever.

    I'm a Fifa fan converted to Pes, I realized Pes screen game experience and dynamics are so much better than Fifas, the game looks and feels so much better and I had to switch. Don't get me wrong, there are some things Fifa does better like the games broadcast, fan interaction etc.

    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

    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.

    This year KONAMI made a lot of improvements,PES never had any real problems with game-play and graphics ,this year at the beginning referee was a bit retarded blowing whistle for every single thing while letting a rugby like tackle slide on the other hand,this was fixed with the 1st update.
    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.

    An excellent football game. Well balanced, fun to play offline, and with an improved Master League mode.

    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.

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

    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 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.

    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.

    Enfim um jogo de futebol que realmente empolga. É visível a evolução que essa versão, a 2020, apresentou. É um divisor de águas na indústria dos jogos de futebol.

    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! ;) ...

    Now I’m a FIFA fan for sure but cos I’m away when the game is released I thought we’ll give eFootball PES 2020 a try. Let me first say this, there are differences for sure.

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.

    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.

    People, don't just read the review or take note of those ratings that gives 0, those people who give 0 are clearly FIFA fan boys who are deeply hurt that their own game is getting worst in every instalment, just ignore them. Go to your friends place, try the game then decide if you like it or not.

    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.

    Excelente simulador de fútbol, en este terreno no tiene rival, lamentablemente aún le falta en modos de juego, prácticamente es idéntico al PES 2019, por esta razón no se acerca al 10.

    Melhorou bastante em relação ao ano passado, o jogo está mais fluido e menos robótico. o jogo tem respostas rápidas sem ter aquele futebol exageradamente acelerado.

    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]
