    Gameplay has been patched, improved from last year. Great price for a season update.

    I am surprised at how much better this is than the 2020 version. More measured gameplay, less rigid attack patterns, crossing actually works too now. You can really feel the individual attributes of each player.

    Não tinha esperança nenhuma, só comprei por causa das atualizações dos elencos. Jogo muito bom. Fluido. Claramente uma cópia da DEMO do 2020, que estava muito boa.

    10/10.

    I didn't have any hope, I just bought it because of the squad updates. Very good game. Fluid gameplay. Clearly a copy of the 2020 DEMO, which was very good.

    Its about Gameplay, Gameplay, Gameplay. Years of tuning, untuning, incremental changes finally coming to a full and complete football experience. Konami stuck to a focus, a plan, and it all comes together. Sure those who like new sparkles, and non game fluff will not be happy, as nothing fundamentally changes there, as Konami were honest about (check the title). But on the pitch.

The final 1% tuning - its the difference between thoroughbred and nag, ferraris and ford (except GT40 of course). This is a game that rewards you for learning how to play it properly, because when you score a goal you remember it, like you are on the pitch yourself. Its Japanese culture - detailed, precise, complex embodied in the best football gaming experience. Those in the community that supported this game over the years of frustration have spoken, read their reviews if you want to see what it is all about. Well done Konami.… Expand

    So much better than FIFA.
    Theres much more physicality, the matches feels more genuine as the passes, touches and shots are not always perfect and it is really fun to play! Oh, and there is play in midfield, have you heard about that, EA? The game has its flaws, but it is so much fun to play, and that makes me simply not care when the players sometimes doesn't intercept the ball as it just    So much better than FIFA.

    To be honest, I really enjoy it and because the developers are trying to create something from the scratch with PES 2022 in Unreal Engine 5, I think they need more understanding and support.
    At least they are honest and not trying to sell the same game like EA for a full price game.
    It is football for me.

    Well, even it's a season update, I still believe PES 2021 is a solid game. I do think Konami is focusing long term and while it's a update for PES 2020, PES 2021 is still, a fun game.

    Le doy un 8 por varias cosas: 1) Por la valentía de Konami a sacar el juego a un precio reducido y decir claramente que sería el mismo juego 2) Porque tras no esperar NADA en cuanto a gameplay nos hemos encontrado con retoques que hacen que el juego se disfrute bastante más

    It's a great football experience. Very authentic. Don't listen to these foolish opinions from the fifa clowns giving it bad score, they're still under the spell of EA garbage fifa. They will mislead you. Gameplay, animations, ball physics. The realism is fantastic. Gameplay is far far better than fifa.

    Overall having a season update to the 2020 version of PES was a great move. It has kept the winning formula of the previous game and just expanded on it with player updates and roster updates. Something that football fans have been asking for for years.

    Same core engine, but on the pitch they've tweaked all the annoying bits out of the last gameplay update they put into PES 2020, so it players much better than that. So anyone thinking they should stay on last year's game are really missing out.

BALL PHYSICS OMG.

    Returned to PES after leaving FIFA at FIFA19 for the first time since PS2 era. Much more realistic and deeper than FIFA. Absolutely love the ball physics and pacing of the game.

Fifa has become far too much about accessibility and pinball like matches with realism and authenticity being the factors sacrificed to make a fast paced pick up and play game. While Pes may not have some of the presentation and polish FIFA has outside of the matches it does deliver the most authentic experience where every game is different and you will feel the different styles of different teams, all of which offer valid ways to win. Play against Burnley for instance and you will be hit with long balls, physicality and crosses, play against Liverpool and you will feel the intensity of their press. The key thing for me with PES is you can hit those driven long passes with back spin that you see the pros hit and just drift a ball into a runners path like a Scholes or Gerrard would, you can play passes that you simply cannot do in FIFA. For me the best football simulator you can buy.… Expand

    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.
