Not sure what they are trying to achieve here. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS GAME!… Expand

    Somehow Konami keep making Pes worse and worse with each new edition. The game is fully scripted, no control of outcome of the match. Do not recommend

    Games are scripted, gameplay is boring and you cannot turn off the replays which is annoying.

    Everytime you play against strong teams the game automatically put them in advantage, with scary own goals, they winning every ball dispute, and your defensors become the most stupid ones as npc’s! Oh also you fowards loose goals that when you are playing weaker adversary’s, they never lose! KONAMI EVERYTHING WE WANT IS A FAIR GAME!

    Konami had an opportunity to take the lead in football game genre. Sadly they were more interested in manipulating and frustrating players for a quick buck (myclub). The engine is pretty good and when the game just let's you play (without the insane scripting/handicapping/momentum/whatever) it can be a lot of fun. I just can't bring myself to play it anymore.

It literally feels when playing pes2021 like there is a little troll in the playstation that's trying to get you as frustrated and miserable as possible, just to get you to spend some cash to strengthen your team. Which are useless since the pes troll decides whether your players will do anything right on the pitch.

    Having played every single entry in this series since the PS1 days, I can say this is one of the worst entries to date and most certainly the worst release of the past 5 years.

    First of all, it's a season update so if you own PES 2020, stick to it. The changes in gameplay have made the game worse than the previous vesion that was already a bit of a scripted mess after the last patches.

    First of all, it's a season update so if you own PES 2020, stick to it. The changes in gameplay have made the game worse than the previous vesion that was already a bit of a scripted mess after the last patches.

    The "update" itself is a joke. Most teams and leagues have not been updated at all. Certainly if you play a smaller league team, the roster will be unchanged from the starting roster of PES2020. I understood this will be patched at some point but what is the use of launching an update if the update has not been done? There are no cosmetic changes worth mentioning compared to the 2020 version.

    Most game modes are unchanged and remain as unsupported as they have been for years.
    My club is more or less the only mode that receives attention.

    The my club gameplay however is held back by the total lack of defensive AI and heavy scripted gameplay. A lot of players just spam lofted through balls from deep - hope you get Beckham from the Legends - and often these simple over the top balls will create a one on one with the keeper as your defender sometimes turns into a dummy doll that trips or just decides he will run in the opposite direction the attacker is running. I've played over 100 online games since launch and I think 90 of them started a kickoff passing back to long pass specialist that then kicked the ball with a long through ball hoping AI would grant him a goal.

    Switching players also often results in the newly controlled player to react like somebody who just woke up and doesn't realise he was in a football match doing things like stopping mid-run, take a step in the wrong direction creating space for your opponent,...

    And what I find very disappointing, as this has been great in the past, is the individual feel of players. Some players with high acceleration scores feel sluggish. Strong players sometimes feel weak.

    Just to be clear. I'm a fan of the series and FIFA has dropped the ball so bad over the last few years so this is most likely still the best option if you want to play a game of football. But if that's what you're after, stick to PES2020 or pick up the free version that will no doubt release around the start of the year. Maybe future patches will improve the game but at this point, this feels like a half-finished game and KONAMI grabbing some money from what is left of their fanbase.    … Expand

    Their only intention can be to keep the user base at the game but it goes out of his was to insane lenghts to try to make sure you fail.

    ı have witnessed players refusing to intercept, refusing to obey to supercancel driven runs, well prepared key shots.

    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.

    The word ''update'' perfectly describes not only this edition of the game but probably the last five titles in a row. Then again, PES remains to be a good, license lacking simulation. The price is fair but the wait is real, as we are already looking forward to the new installment that will shake things up a bit, after a long wait.
