eFootball PES 2021

eFootball PES 2021 Season Update is a good way to extend the life of the game by changing bits of the gameplay at improving the online experience, but the content still feels limited.

At the cheaper price and all the updates, this is the definitive version of PES for the current-gen, and a great way to move into the next game.

All things considered, PES 2021 is a perfect point of entry for those who missed out on PES 2020 and a valuable update to the game for those who already own it, but it's not different enough to cover up its flaws in the same way its predecessor did, making it an arguable tier lower than FIFA as sports fans turn their eyes towards what next-gen simulations can offer.

Theoretically, the idea of ​​turning this edition of PES into a simple update is a good idea. Last year’s football season went totally crazy, the two tournament seasons almost overlapped and the pandemic stopped or slowed down videogame development for a long time. Focusing on next year’s game still seems a good choice, and it would be even better if Konami tried to dedicate the least amount of commitment to this update, which it didn’t. The absence of even a partial roster update update on day one is unacceptable, as is the ugliness of the Inter and Milan uniforms, even for a game that is still the best option for any football lover.

A new approach for the sports genre, with welcome results: this offers more than a roster update, and at a very appealing price.

eFootball PES 2021 does exactly what it says. Well, not exactly, as it took some time to refine a few gameplay elements of its predecessor to become even more enjoyable on the pitch - even online.

eFootball PES 2021 is still the best football simulation, but its Season Update isn't yet what you were waiting for.

Konami's production remains a fun football experience, but it is permissible for each user to make their own personal budget. For our part, the company's strategy seemed so virtuous, but imperfect and hasty, and this element necessarily influences our judgment.

eFootball PES 2021 Season Update is a title that impresses us in gameplay and at the same time disappoints us in innovation. We expected much more from the great Konami in this installment.

eFootball PES 2021 Season Update feels incomplete even as a simple update, however it retains the golden standard set by PES 2020 and makes some slight improvements.

Konami decided to release an updated version of last year (excellent) game. So we find the same game modes (added UEFA 2020 National Teams) and great controls, and we also find the same problems with teams, stadiums and players licenses.
