    Let's start with the best part, the gameplay is the best since the start of the series, but... The demo build was even better but got adjusted towards the final build which is a shame. It's still good, but was nearly perfect.

The demo build was even better but got adjusted towards the final build which is a shame. It's still good, but was nearly perfect.
    Also there are still some stupid things in the game, defensive AI is retarded at times, still no 360 turning and some issues have been around since they used this engine and it looks like they can't be fixed by the team.

    Master League had an overhaul, sadly its mostly cosmetic and doesn't impact the mode or your career. Regens are still there so you will get a 16 year old Messi when he retires. But it has more realistic transfer values now, that's a big plus.

    Myclub didn't get an update at all, which was needed. The new mode called Matchday is fun but overall the modes need an update or even a complete overhaul.

    They changed the homescreen and it was needed, but now it doesn't feel consistent looking at all the other menus and ingame screens. Commentary still feels dated and comical, stadium atmosphere lacks severely and the edit mode could use more options like ad boards, custom chants etc to give a better experience.

    Small things like the weekly maintenance of an hour or longer, summer transfers not ready at release and still not fully correct and the scripting in Konami's FUT alternative Myclub makes the whole game a bit underwhelming.

    Licences can be fixed on PS4 and PC so that won't be a negative, they got back the second divisions from Italy and Spain, also great for a lot of players.

    Still the best PES ever, but it could and should have been even better and felt much better in the demo. Konami needs to step up for the following generation of consoles. There is just not enough done in a full year of development in my opinion.

    If I couldn't compare it to the demo and earlier games it might get a 7, but for me it's a 6 out of 10.    … 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.

    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.    … Expand

    So disappointed to have the same thing every year. A demo that the fans respond too and then a full release which bears no resemblance. Finesse dribbling, shielding, pace had all been improved and stood out yet they've all been removed from the main game. Who do Konami take feed back from? Time for a change at the top of the franchise is to progress.

    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.

    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 improvement from the previous installment. It still lacks in the presentation aspects of the game and most important, customizations options.

    Finalmente a Konami parece ter entrado nos trilhos.

    PES pela primeira vez em mais de uma década me faz me sentir bem ao jogar um jogo da franquia. Nunca fui fã da série, mas atualmente é louvável a impressionante a evolução em relação ao rival de mercado que afunda cada vez mais na hipocrisia da EA Games

    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.

    Melhor simulador de futebol de todos os tempos, a cada ano você vê uma evolução no game, a produtora começou a ouvir os fãs e o game caminhou, chegando a um ponto de grande migração de jogadores da produtora rival. A parceria com grandes clubes da Europa, consolidação do futebol sul-americano e a adesão da EURO 2020 ajuda a Konami a tentar voltar ao topo dos games de futebol.

    El gameplay se siente más fresco y mejor desde hace años no sentía que un juego de fútbol se sientiese tan bien. Para mi sin necesidad de excesivas licencias y sobresitos, no necesita nada más que un buen gameplay, muy por encima del de FIFA.

    As real football as it's possibile! Breathtaking experience. Last must-have game for this generation. You can feel difference between every each player of your team. Adjusting position of your players to opposite team is great fun!

    will the goalkeepers ever be able to catch the ball in their arms, or at least deflect it out of the pitch, instead deflecting it in dangerous area or straight on strikers' foot?! but it is the same issue as in any previous fifa or pes so ther you go...

    Nice to drible and enjoyable! Better then ever, you can edit everything, flags, names, import images by usb. The game play is hard if you do not know how to play, but if you pass, know how send players ahead, drible and get position to shoot, it is easy.

    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]
