    He jugado más de 100 horas y tengo cosas que decir.
    La liga master es lo mismo del año pasado pero con 10 cinemáticas que se hacen aburridas con el paso de las temporadas. Han dicho que escucharon a los fans pero yo no les pedí nada de esto para la LM, a mi por lo que veo no me han escuchado, hay mucho que mejorar.

    La jugabilidad está algo mejorada con respecto al año pasado pero necesito mas faltas de ambos ,tanto mías como de la CPU, el árbitro no pita nada. Hay pocas lesiones y de poca duración, perde el realismo.
    En fin, puedo seguir pero me aburre porque es un juego muy parecido al año pasado..
    Yo no lo recomiendo si estás dudando porque es muy similar al 2019 y al 2018.
    Espero que se ponga las pilas konami el año que viene, porque creo que se ríen de la gente y te cobra por lo mismo año tras año.
    Para mi es un juego de 6,5 pero como no puedo poner decimales, pongo un 6, porque al igual que konami no mejora el juego desde el 2014, yo tampoco voy a tirar para arriba en la nota.    … Expand

    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.

    The graphics aren't bad, yet in 2020 they could do better, especially when it comes to the spectators in the stands. The AI is sometimes incomplete, with certain questionable referee choices and dubious fouls.
    There is not much more to say, avoiding making excessive comparisons with the Canadian rival.
    Despite some flaws, PES 2020 is one of the best soccer games out there. Objectively this would be just sufficient. Considering it's a sports game, I'll add a vote.    … Expand

So when you go to do your maintenance might wanna look at fixing those problems or I can garentu I won't be playing anymore nothing makes a he more frustrating that one that can't follow the rules lol this game is becoming the biggest piece of **** I've ever played I can play better than these **** idiots and there supposed to be pro **** me lmfao… Expand

    PES 2020 is better than FIFA in terms of ball physics, tackling, stadiums and the overall gameplay. However, PES 2020 is lacking incredibly simple but also essential features.

This incredible game is ruined by the fact that PES developers either can't be assed or aren't competent enough to include features that have been present with the competition for years now. PES, I can forgive you for not including licenses, there is a fix for that. But for the love of god, don't make playing this game a hassle. Step up for god's sake. I quit playing PES due to the non-present features, and really hope that the developers will add these basics to the future games, otherwise PES won't keep up with FIFA.… Expand

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.

I saw also reviews and marks from other users and I don't understand them. The review of Silas - he gave a 5 is what I feel also and he gave more details.

    There are so many negative things that make this game the worst PES I ever played and I play since PES 5. I'll only write the 3 biggest flaws:

    1. We are in 2019 and they still don't have proper servers, and there is an insane amount of input lag, many times you can't enjoy the game anymore as you press a button now and the action comes tomorrow.

    2. The game is not responsive and that comes extra to the input lag, you can feel it even when playing offline- which means is in the games code and not from connection, sometimes you try to trap the ball, shoot or pass and the player takes 1-2 extra touches before performing your action. There are some frames in between on which you have no control.

    3. The game is too much AI assisted, it is not skill based anymore. it happens many time that the game does what it wants and not what you press. In all the PES versions until PES 2017 included if you were way better than opponent you could win with a 1 star team against a 5 star team, hard but you could. Now you can't beat with a 3 star team a 5 star team no matter how weak is the opponent as his players position alone, defend alone, intercept alone, even strikers do great runs. And AI plays fantastic with players above 85-86 rating.    … Expand

The gameplay is solid, but there are still loads of problems that is very minor, but still hinders the experience. - Player switching still hasn’t been fixed, as the ball would touch a player sometimes and it wouldn’t switch to that player or switch to the player nearest to the ball.

This becomes extremely annoying. - Master League becomes extremely boring after a while. Players take years to upgrade their ratings even if they are top scorers 3 seasons in a row. The menus are also a chore to navigate (just adding R1 and L1 to navigate left and right will already make it a lot better). There are a lot more that bothers me, but these were the worst for me. I did enjoy the game at a time though, but wouldn’t go back to it again.… Expand

    this game is horribly clumsy and so frustrating that it is nearly unplayable. this is my opinion, you may disagree. i have a lot of time put into this game and i regret everyone of them.

    the ball physics and the animations seem to be what people usually rate this game on, and they are quite great and feel good, however the frustrating aspects ruin the entire package.

    1. terrible AI. you will take in goals, and it will be because the AI defending just leaves their position. teammates will make runs that hide them behind opponents or just not make runs into the right positions for a pass.

    the opponents will do one of three things when attacking. pass directly to CF and score. dribble and change directions everytime you try to challenge, if not a foul then pass and try again. or cross. you have no control over the defence

    2. terrible commentators. They make statements that sound like a child´s comments on a game. they make contradictions within the same sentences, and seem to misunderstand the very basics of tactics.

    3. terrible career mode "story" it isn´t worthy of a ps2 game.

    4. poor graphics.

    5. scripting is worse than in fifa IMO. games either end 7-0 or 3-2 or something similar. very unrealistic and unappealing for someone who loves football.

    6. poor balance between players. the best players are unstoppable and the not so great players are useless (a result of money being involved in online games like FUT)

    7. useless referee. I was fouled and my teammate "went for the ball" which will always happen (it´s programmed to) and then the offside was called on him which is against the rules. often opponents will run directly into you while you have the ball and get a foul. sometimes murder attempts will get ignored as a glitch. etc just the beginning.

    8. very basic gameplay, very little choice in how you interact with the game and control it.

    to sum it up. the game has great animations and can feel good when passing it around but is frustrating in every aspect besides it, from the menu to the core gameplay, referee, GK, AI. It seems that there just won´t be a great football game any time soon.

    this comes from someone who have been playing football games since they were 8. many of the people giving this game above 6 or 7 haven´t played it enough for it to show it´s flaws, like most sports games do.    … 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 review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Man, this game is..weird(am not going to describe the drawbacks and pros, i will post a suggestion hoping someone really gets it from konami), i think that is the best word to describe it, at least for me. I've been a fan of PES for years , even though i haven't played since 2015...PES 2020 (PLEASE no epes what is this?????) Even though it has good graphics, the environment ,colours etc. My opinion is..it lacks fun and imagination! What i mean is in ML and BAL, dude come on, add some frustrating moments in the locker room when you lose a game, or in halftime when you are behind the score. ML at least has some cutscenes during the season it does not lack THAT much in comparison to BAL!!! BAL doesn't even have locker room cutscens. They could add the captain of the team having a talk with you if you are performing good or badly (like they used to do back in pes 2011!!!!!!!) Having a talk with the coach, I don't know, maybe ADD A SCENE where you get the first scorer/assists/MVP(??) of the league/cup, trophy instead of constantly receiving a such an annoying message (YoU hAVe bEeN sELecTed fOR tHE StaRtInG 11 on every damn game!!!!!! Or "is he going to win?"). I know if they add all these is going to be repeatative but , isn't it already?? At least add some imagination into the equation make me feel like i am living it inside and outside the pitch, it is 2020 i mean...2011 did it wayyyyy better cmon!!!!! Another thing that bothers me is the defence mechanism. Long pressing a button feels dumb....you just press that thing until you get the ball automatically and in very few occasions you get dribbled, or the game just FORGETS to change to the closest designated defender even if you press the button (???) and conceive a goal(If YOU try to dribble the AI, i admire you sir, for me is impossible except some body fakes,they know what you are going to do before it is animated!! Dribbles are useful only on PvP and yet again in some rare occasions, because of the almighty LONG PRESS BUTTON). And last but not least, DRIBBLING SYSTEM....it sucks, it sucks aaaaaall the way (again at least for me) if i to brake my fingers and pray the player gets to pull off the dribble...i am going to play some FIFA(which i enjoy only because it is just FUN nothing else really. its dribbles are so easy to pull!!!) I am not saying they should do the shame...but AT LEAST be useful and go through the enemy defence with some style!!! Not having to wait for the player to make a turn for 3 decades....I need to see some passion, imagination, they are already better than money sucking FIFA almost at everything, why not make a step further and give us the ultimate experience...because that is what is supposed to be!!!… Expand

    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]
