Please trust me and do not buyxsane shut every year and no doubt, FIFA will be the same… Expand

    The game is garbage. I regret buying it. Please don't be impressed by the positive reviews, and if u played the demo, it's nothing close to it. The players' movements are the worst I have ever seen in a football game and all that ball physics crap didn't add **** to the game. The worst pes game ever!!

    This year’s edition is absolutely unplayable. Money wasted. In fact it has never been so bad really. It does not even look football any more. Looks more like street fighter. Where are fouls????? Opposite player is beating, pushing, tackling, destroying and killing my player and nothing. Sometimes not only one. It looks parody. Creative game does not have no chance any more.

Where are fouls????? Opposite player is beating, pushing, tackling, destroying and killing my player and nothing. Sometimes not only one. It looks parody. Creative game does not have no chance any more. Why you bother yourself with dribbling programming when it can not be used any more. Try for part of second and your leg will be broken and the ball in your net... Really disaster. Study online games. Players are TOO fast. Most of duels are actually FOUL. Make game much slower and for god’s sake re-evaluate the fouling. Make game playable again.… Expand

    Horrible game full of ridiculous flaws. Especially when it comes to fauls and playing online vs playing against AI feels like two different games. PES is awful as well as Fifa.

    USA online players beware! This game has serious problems with control response. If you are new to soccer gaming do yourself a favor and avoid this game. I have been playing this game series since 2003 and, with the exception of the 2007 release, this game is the worst online. Other reviews are not based on online play. Trust me. There is no excuse for this in 2019.

    It's PES 2019 2.0, this final version is not representative of the demo version, a foutage mouth. Very bad communication of the editor. No improvements in online modes. I regret my purchase.

I didn't get to tryout the demo, but from the reviews I've been reading it must have been way better than this crap.
    In truth, eFootball PES 2020 for me is the same PES 19 game but with the passing mechanics tweaked wrong, goal keepers nerfed to PES 16-17 versions, and updated graphics, menus and player models. If Konami wanted to make something even more closer to real soccer than PES 19, they went about it in the worst possible way with eFootball PES 2020.    … 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.

    Same game every year, same game which only can love fan of it. Worst player movement i have ever seen, worst ball control and worst finishing. Goalkeepers are story for itself.. So many 10 ratings from fans of it, don't be scamed, if u have pes 16 u don't need upgrade except new rosters.

    Practically artificial intelligence fights for one ball, if kicked, is goal.
    I can't compliment the good points, because for me the main thing is a good gameplay and here it is absurdly worse, you can't even touch a 50 cm pass that your players find a way to send the wrong pass, unbelievable!    … Expand

    Bon jeu mais... Les joueurs semblent beaucoup trop lourds et semblent tous avoir le même poids. Trop de fautes sont sifflés sur les contactes.
    Mode de jeux ? Contenu ? Aucune évolution par rapport aux années précédentes.
    My Team n'arrive pas à la cheville de FUT. Beaucoup de problèmes de connexion en online.

    Attention: I'm not a PES hater and/or FIFA fan.

    Based on Demo version:
    Great graphics.
    The most annoying thing is whistling for every contact. Every little contact between 2 players are fouls and referee stops the game for nothing and ridiculously every foul can cause yellow or red card.

    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]
