    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

This is my honest opinion on the game, is you disagree that's fine, but there is no vested interest here for me - ultimately I just want to play a good football game and this year, sadly, neither franchises offerings are something I could recommend people purchasing.

    PES offline is a better game in my opinion although the regens being players who have retired is, despite fans wanting it changed for years, ridiculous - the most immersion-breaking thing possible and almost enough, by itself, to warrant not purchasing this game if you're a dedicated offline player. Aside from this is it good, my biggest irk is with the game play which has serious issues that people just aren't mentioning:

    - the passing is wildly erratic and constantly goes to the wrong player. This is frequent.
    - the referees treatment of the AI, compared to the human player, is completely skewed (already many games were the cpu never made a single foul, ridiculous)
    - the overall feel and touch of the players feels very unresponsive and not at all intuitive responsive, it's like every player now has a first touch and reaction time like me (and believe me mine is bad), weird
    - switching players has serious issues, namely either switching to the wrong player or stopping the player you switch to dead in their tracks, hugely annoying
    - there is a slight input delay, even offline, which seriously hampers the feel
    - the mini-loading screens, unnecessary replays, and manager reactions from the sidelines are hugely irritating in game and need altering, PES has gotten this wrong for years now

    The list goes on and on but for sure this is not a flawless game (10 out of 10, seriously?) and being better than Fifa doesn't make it so. Fifa is so poor that to be even compared to it should be shameful in itself, not some sort of barometer to be compared against. PES and FIFA are both substandard games in my opinion and it is a shame that is the case - I long for the day a new developer takes a crack at making a football game, because it is clear EA and Konami are going backwards,

    I would say play a demo first but as the demo's of both PES and FIFA this year have been different from the reality presented I would say wait a year and see if things improve, I'm personally disappointed I dropped the money I did on PES only to dislike the game play so much I already feel like not wanting to play it.    … Expand

    Pros:

    * The game is super satisfying to play. Every goal feels deserved and satisfying(even the little goals)
    * The passing and dribbling is so smooth. Even the small shoulder drops are super effective.
    * Pace is not broken like in FIFA
    * The game does feel really realistic.
    * Crossing is just on a whole other level. Header and cross-in goals are just, I literally get moist when I score one.

    This is all nice and good, but we can't look over the HUGE problems(I'm not gonna count licenses a problem cause let's face that's not a game mechanic problem)
    PS: these are MY honest opinions about the game based on master league.

    Cons:

    * Defending. Defending in this game is horrendous. Not even kidding. Even tho my defending tactic was set on wide(so LB and RB would stay on the side) my wing-backs just randomly decide to go into the box and leaving HUGE gaps. I don't know but if you ask me in real life the coach would scream the hair off the wing-backs if they do that in real life.
    * Defending. On higher difficulty holding down 'X' or 'O' is basically worthless and suicide. They do have place on lower difficulty, but on higher, you just give away free goals.
    * More defending. Your defender can literally be 10cm away from a ball that has been passed by the opposition and your defender won't even try to intercept. He just watches it, Won't even try to do something.
    * Goalkeepers are like 50-50. Sometimes they make incredible saves, and sometimes I just sit there and say "even I could have saved that". Enemy striker just turned on my defender and did like a fade-away shot which had barely any power and Ter Stegen (89) rate goalkeeper just let's it go in.
    * Free kicks are too easy to score. 34m away from goal, the power on the shot was like it'd have on a 22m away free kick and the goalkeeper does 1 step, when he could easily have enough time to run to the far post, and does like an over dramatic failed save.
    * Players do not make runs unless you previously done a L1 pass to someone. Or they start to make a run to get behind the defense and after .2 seconds they just be like "NAAAAH"

    Everyone's saying that the game is super realistic and if you want a football game like that PES is the wayy to go. While the attacks are realistic the defending is just horrible. Once again this is MY opinion.    … Expand

I don't play much offline but online is an absolute disgrace. The game has continued its scripted nonsense, where if you go on a few wins, your players become unresponsive and fail to do any of the basics correct. Massive delays in passing and shooting, also much weaker, this results in you having to cheese exploits in the game to get to high ranks. You will find yourself frustrated and throwing you controller at your window as your 94 rated defender decides he wants to go for a wander somewhere for no reason leaving their striker for a tap in. Their new addition Matchday is this nonsense on steroids. Granted I've only played the mode a few times as they decided to release it between 3-6 pm every day when most adult humans have to work. Another massive KON. The games feel forced if you score then all the scripted nonsense is notched up 500% to try and support your opponent equalise. I'm not a pro but I'm currently ranked in the top 1000 in my region ( out of about 110000 ) so I'm not bad. But my patience has run out with Konami, this will be the last Pes I buy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I believed that PES 2020 will actually be a better game, but it looks like It does not even matter how bad EA Sports make FIFA, FIFA will still be better. At the moment FIFA is way beyond broken and Career Mode is unplayable but I would rather go through a year of FIFA with all those huge problems than play another single match of this broken-gameplayed PES. I have no idea why so many people praise PES’s gameplay. I guess because they like the few things they do better than FIFA, and for the fact it’s the alternative to FIFA. In all honesty PES 2020 is a broken game and way too frustrating. Even when winning I get annoyed. AI is so handicapped. They respond extremely quick to dead balls, are all great at dribbling, fast, detect runs all the time, GK making super saves every game, and can tackle perfectly from behind etc. on top of that they are also stupid as ****, running into my goalie with the ball intead of shooting, missing open net 7/10 times. My own players avoid defending, can not tackle properly and gets tired so quickly. The skillstick is beyond embarrassing. So unresponsive and slow to execute, even with great dribblers like Messi or Neymar. Also why can’t Mbappe run faster than an average defender from Chinese League? Fix the game! Right now certain player types are useless, and there is only one way to attack and just a few formations that are effective. I do not even want to start and talk about collisions are so broken that sometimes game feels like WWE Pro Evolution Wrestling. When you are not playing the game when you are in menu and master league I must admit and say that It feels amazing, but as soon as you enter the football match and want to play a match you encounter all this huge problems that make game unplayable. And everyone said that there will be the most realistic "ball physics" ever, and there is right? Wrong! The ball movement is so broken that every shot you have and every pass you make; the ball will hit at least 2 players before reaching the final destination… Game graphics are very good but at what cost? I would rather have the worst graphics in the world but have a game where players do not look like uncharged robots. If you are new to football games, I recommend you to play anything instead of PES 2020, even New Star Soccer would be a million times better option than this piece of work. Now I will just name couple of things that are also broken in this game: penalty system (you can apply so little power and push it slight to the side and It will go miles away from the goal), online (It takes forever to find somebody that you can play with and when you finally do the game is so laggy that you lose your nervs), running (I did not see that every time Mbappe starts running he pushes the ball forward like 5-10 meters and keeps runing, It is so broken that If you even try running somewhere in the midfield you will just lose the ball, you do not even have to worry about that)… There are million problems here and licensing is the smallest problem of PES 2020, you can not even call it a problem when you see the gameplay on the pitch. There are also some positives but very few: free kicks (are still nice and much better than in FIFA), master league (better than career mode in general, but still some transfers that happen are really unrealistic) but everything else is actually broken. And do not make me even start about goalkeepers that try to box the ball and are just not capable of doing that and the ball ends in 6/10 times right in their 16 yards… I do not like to give a zero since the master league looks nice off the pitch and coach mode is pretty neat, so I am thinking between 1 and 2, but since the game was over-hyped and we were promised the revolutionary changing football game It is 1 for me! My recommendation: Do not buy this game...… Expand

    Personally speaking, I feel like PES20 has made real strides forwards to making this the best game in the franchise to date. The gameplay felt different (and fantastic). I love the new Stadium camera angle (seriously feels like you're watching a football game).

I love the new Stadium camera angle (seriously feels like you're watching a football game). The changes they've made to Master League is incredible and the revamped menu design just feels that much more modern. The three main areas where I think they fall short compared to FIFA20 is: 1) the formation/ tactics screen, where they continue to adopt this unintuitive, 2003-style user interface. 2) the lacklustre performance by the commentary team (it's a constant repeat of lines that they have churned out in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.). And 3) the lack of depth, and hence realism, in the minute amount of teams that they incorporate in-game. And I'm not just talking about the lack of licenses. I used a patch to give all the in-game teams a real-life skin. But even with that, there's just not enough teams/ players. There's only so much the modding community can do. I understand that my final point would require KONAMI to invest a great deal of resources to amend but pragmatically speaking, I don't think the former two issues are that difficult to fix. Having said that, I did see a great deal of improvements in this year's edition compared to PES19 so I remain hopeful that the development team will continue making the franchise a worthy investment for gamers to make.… Expand

    One word can perfectly summarize Pro Evo 2020: M E D I O C R I T Y

    1) Every aspect of the game feels unfinished and unsatisfying. You have to spend a lot of time in edit mode to even get a tiny hint of autencity. But unfortunately, KONAMI ruins everything simply by having small features that easily could have been removed. By this, I mean how ALL the generic stadiums have the same adboards and banners. "These colours don't run", "ATTACK! ATTACK!", "kampfgeist", "Calcio" etc. etc. You can't even see the banners you create by your own. When you play an international match in Sweden for example, all the banners will still be in English. Its stupid, and should easily be fixed. Purple scoreboards in a Europa League match sums up the laziness.

    2) Master League is a lot better than Carreer Mode. Menus are good looking, but the functionality is bad. Its boring to scroll and press X several times just to check the top goal scorer. Another annoying thing is that you can't even see have many matches you have played. This could also be fixed easily.

    3) All this licensing, and they don't even use the them properly. This has always been a huge problem. Chants are boring and repetitive. When I play Champions League games, I actually play the anthem on my phone to get the right feeling. The funny thing is that it feels exactly the same as when they had the CL license. Barcelona actually use PES mechanics in pre game formalities in real life, but you won't see these animations in the actual game. This could easily be implemented, but Konami doesn't care.

    4) My Club is pointless. I packed Messi as my first (!) player, and I had a world class team after only one day. Menus are horrific, and I actually don't see any point playing it. They should create a completely new game mode, rather than competing with Ultimate Team. But first: fix the servers.

    5) E.....(Loading screen).....verything is slow. Loading screen pops up everywhere. Gameplay is slow (realistic, but kinda boring). Replays takes way to long time to skip. The sound effects and the commentators are boring and pale. They could easily improve the sound aspects of the game, but they never do it, and never will. The way the stadium speaker pronounce the word "substitution" is so annoying I had to turn it completely off.

    6) Edit mode is my favorite "game" mode. I love it. The reason why I bought the game. It could be A LOT better though. We should be able to edit even more. I want to change ad boards and banners and the bloody score board. If they improved the edit mode just a little , the game would have been a lot better. Theres so much potential, but sadly they don't allow us to edit stadiums or more than just a handfull teams. What a shame.

    7) gameplay and graphics are alright. If they focused on other things than game faces and shooting animations, the game could have been a solid 10. Yeah, the animations are not as good as FIFA. But I don't care as long as the game modes are fun and the menus are working properly. Gameplay has been good for many years now, since its realistic and looks realistic as well. Better controls and functionality could help A LOT, but Konami rather focus on dribbling and shooting mechanics. Yawn.    … Expand

    Secondly players against pressure dont move fast or dont do his next move faster. F.e your defender has the ball and an opponent is about to pressure sometimes it takes nearly 2 secons for him to pass the ball and that causes you to lose the ball in such a risky spot.

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

    A great PES, but it has some problems. For example, passes are TERRIBLE. They are so SLOW and SO WRONG! 9 out of 10 passes are wrong. Another disadvantage is that you have to wait 30 mins to get an opponent in online modes. Apart from these, PES is very good, the gameplay has slowed down giving realism to the game.

    Every year PES is taking it to a different level of football simulation.
    The physicality is emphasized this year, physical contacts between players are more realistic; However, dribbling is less effective, and counter attacking play is favored over possession game because of the physicality aspect.

    This game turned be back onto Fútbol games after many years of skipping out on the same Fifa games year after year. I'm glad I bought the Legends Edition which included Ronaldinho (at 39, but still a Legend)

    The game could be a 9 if it wasn't so much "scripted". Solid Master Leauge, fun Become a Legend, great graphics. On the other hand, playing on Legend difficulty is impossible, not because the AI is smarter but because it cheats constantly. Your players score own goals as soon as you get the lead. The opponent team tackles hard and the referee doesn't care, your team misses basic passes andThe game could be a 9 if it wasn't so much "scripted".

Your players score own goals as soon as you get the lead. The opponent team tackles hard and the referee doesn't care, your team misses basic passes and your defense never stops the ball. That's not difficult, it's just unplayable. Online games are sometimes terrible, with the same scripting happening again and again. Kick-off glitch and corner glitch are there since the previous game... all of this ruin the experience of what coulb be fantastic game. Stay away from Legend difficulty and online, and it is a nice multiplayer (at home) game.… Expand

    Bad metagame. A slap in the faces of Pes fans. The change make the game too Hard to play defensive. The defenders usually make stupid mistake. Finese Touch is good but not enough to save the whole bad game

    It's a good game, Phisic has been greatly improved, and it has a great advantage in customization and ... However, it has several features that Konami Withdrew and An online mode from bad!

    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

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

    Fantastisch.
    Leider hat die Konkurenz mehr Modi mehr Lizenzen
    und ne größere Community... Deswegen wird das Spiel
    immer "ausgelacht". Ganz nüchtern betrachtet
    ist PES insgesamt das besser Spiel .
    Bessere Grafik, Ballphysik und generell das komplette
    Gameplay. Eventuell sollte man es mal porbieren statt immer
    darüber zu lachen und es nie probieren...

    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.    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

    The only thing good in the game is the grafics, the gameplay is trash, If I were one the creators of this version of the game I would be ashamed.

    I think PES is getting more realistic, but I don't enjoy it more, because there are fewer variations in scoring goals, PES 2013 is better

    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. One of my favorite things to do on FIFA was to create a custom tournament with my brother. We'd skip the boring matches and switch sides occasionally.

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 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

    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]
