    Handicap y script hace el juego ridiculo de jugar. No hay ligas completas ni buen juego en línea, es solo bueno para jugar localmente, por ello no hay diferencia entre comprar el juego o jugar solo el demo. No vale la pena comprarlo.

    But the AI is really poor at times, with players often not making the correct contextual choice, as if they're being dictated by their tactics. CPU teams plays mostly the same, and even horrible teams can tiki taka it around the box. I've now played 40+ matches of the full release and I'd say 75% of the CPU goals are low crosses from the wing or byline.

    Headers are essentially non existent. Keepers don't come off their line for 1-on-1s, equally easy goals. Refs are inconsistent, though for the most part pretty good with the exception of giving up soft penalties.

    Defending is terrible. On one hand the AI mark so loosely, it's tough to even get close to the CPU and they finish with super high passing stats every game. Tackling is terrible and will result in fouls 2/3 times.

    In addition, the responsiveness of the game is severely lacking, and sometimes it can feel like you're playing a turn based game as you wait for the AI to do it's thing.

    I'm a former PES hardcore fan but this just isn't good enough. And that's not even getting into the shambles off the pitch. Oh, and not to mention the game didn't even release with updated squads.    … Expand

    I had high expectations of this game and I bought legend edition making a big mistake. By the way, the demo was very good and that what made me buy it. The final version is an absolute trash.
    Defending is an absolute joke, headers are non existent while low cross is to overpowered.

    Defending is an absolute joke, headers are non existent while low cross is to overpowered. Last year in PES scoring from crosses was to overpowered and this year scoring with headers is garbage. Many times the defenders stand by and watch the ball rolling or an attacker passing by with ease and score. Changing the player when out of posession is also very bad and it changes a player far away from the ball or the attacker. Passing the ball is a mess even when you are very well positioned and many times the ball reaches straight into the opposing player. Those long balls over the defense are the most OP in this game. My club game mode is nothing but a CASH COW for KONAMI, same as the other football competitor and players contracts are to expensive. The only option to survive in MY Club is to farm coins but then there is no charm in playing it anymore.
    The only good thing with this game is player animations and ball physics and thats why i will give it a 2 star rating: one for the animations and one for the ball physics.
    I am neither a Fifa or PES fanboy . I just want to play a decent football game but in the last few years none of them deserved to be played.

    i wont buy 2020 if they wont allow filtering wi-fi players and reduce the "catch-up" effect.

    All things considered, i dont enjoy winning or losing as i know the truth that the goals come from abusing this problematic passing and defendind system.

    *Broken pass targeting programming:
    The game simply ignores your analog direction sometimes and also ignore your late adjustments to pass direction. The moment you press "pass" it will pass that way , you can no longer make late adjustments to pass target once the animation starts which causes alot of passing errors and since most players know this, they just sit back and wait for you suffer this flaw.

    *Terrible slow sluggish, networking:
    PES has to grow balls and start letting users filter players with Wi-fi connections. The online gameplay is a torture to play when the other jack realises that he cant compete starts the torrents in his pc.

    *Terrible defensive AI: The defense is always doing the wrong things unless you select and correct it by super-cancel which is a chore especially online.

    Intentionally bad "catch up system"
    You are literally against the game's catch up system. The more active you play the better the other team performs incase of interceptions, finishing, Hi-balls, it s like the game is constantly cursing you and you are at your worst day but it is an agony to watch your opponents, spammy passes or blind 180degree clearences reach their target like "magic".

    Playing this game is a chore, none of your skills like perception, reflexes , anticipation is rewarded. i dont enjoy winning or losing as i know the truth that the goals come from abusing this problematic passing and defendind system.

    The game is always trying to even the skill gap between the opposing players by sabotaging pass targets, letting wrong passings go through, headers won.

And I hate to see retired players returning to the game like 16 year olds! WTF! I can keep going on and on and on on how bad this is. Don't get me wrong.

    Another year, another PES. Nothing that was bothering players of this franchise fixed. Lagcheaters - check. Whitebenchers - check. COOP that allows you to play 1vs3 - check. The COOP is especially tricky. How do you have the cohones to call something COOP and then let the AI control your team while you play as a single player. This is a pathetic excuse for a game.

    Off the pitch, as widely recognised by reviews, it is a shambles. Even ignoring licensing, the game is so poorly put together. Konami need to get some User Interface experts involved to help sort their game out. There really is no excuse in this day and age.

    On the pitch, the game is playable but ultimately a simplified football game with on-rails action at times. Player switching doesn't work a lot and so your defender ends up stationary while a striker gets to the ball first. The closest player to the ball will ignore it while someone further away will make the run instead and fail to get the ball.

    Finishing feels random. The goalie will make super saves from close range diving far to their side, or the striker will narrowly miss the corner of the goal with their shot.

    They have retained the ridiculous back-heels where a player will back-heel the ball at a speed just faster than the player chasing it. It then gets to the next player and he back-heels it at the same speed to the next player again chased by a player who can't change his pace in any way to collect the ball.

    Lots of little flicks and tricks, none of which are the user pressing anything special to do them. The game just makes it look good, which is maybe why it gets glowing reviews from magazine reviewers who sound like they're new to football - "Wow, I just crossed the ball doing a rabona and it did an overhead kick - all I did was press cross and shoot!".

    The "It's on the pitch that matters" is the most repeated mantra of PES players. I played the Fifa 19 Beta and even if you ignore licensing, commentary, graphics, audio, menus, it feels far better to play than PES.

    Get ready to trade this in once Fifa comes out. Of course, I am paid by EA!!

    Купил PES19 потому что была скидка и хотелось самому посмотреть, что за фрукт, на деле оказалось жалкая пародия, а не футсим.    … Expand

    Очередное унылое говно от konami. Она теперь вообще от fifa не отличается, только скучная.

    Also the game feels straight like it came out of the last console generation.    … Expand

    I have been playing the pet series since 2010 and this is probably the worst one in the series along with 2014. I was very excited for this game after 2018 had solid gameplay, but came to realize that Konami did a horrible job of actually making this game fun and playable.

I was very excited for this game after 2018 had solid gameplay, but came to realize that Konami did a horrible job of actually making this game fun and playable. At first I really like the addition of new leagues, but this was really the only improvement in the actual game besides graphics. The gameplay has been made a mess due to sloppy Ai control when defending, very little control over offensive Ai, the complete removal of goals from crosses (this was an issue in 2018, but it was the opposite), absolutely awful referees that seem to call no fouls to assist the player once on higher difficulties, and very repetitive goals once on higher difficulties. This game had a lot of potential due to the recent pes series installations (which were not perfect, but still fun) and has way too much of a focus on "realism" that dumbs down the gameplay to almost unplayable at points. Another bad thing about this game is the so called "improvements" to my club which change nothing, and at the end of the day fifa ultimate team is just a better game mode in all aspects. Master league (game mode which most PES players love the series for) has received literally almost no changes and neither has become a legend. This PES had the potential to be the equalizer between FIFA and PES, but it failed miserably since Konami seemed to prefer boring repetitive gameplay that is "realistic" over actual fun gameplay. My recommendation to anyone trying to get into the PES series is play PES 2016 and PES 2013 by far much better games that are probably the best in the PES series to date.… Expand

    Una verdadera decepcion un juego inacabado con fallos graves. Offline es una verguenza la IA, empanamientos, retardo en la respuesta, porteros que no salen. Si a esto sumamos la falta de modos de juego, lo obsoleto de menus y opciones. Hacen uno de los peores Pes que he jugado, juego comprado y vendido en una semana en un Game que tenian bastantes Pes de segun mano

    A lack of licences and a absurd handicap in online modes made this the worst PES ever, maybe 14 was better, auto tackle is insane, and all defenders runs fast than any great player like Messi, Salah, Cr7, and after all they still calling PES a simulator, FIFa is horrible, but PES is the same, cheaters, online issues, a weak "FUT" mode,horrible game at all, only graphics don't make a great game.

    Мало того, что каждый год трясут по 60+ баксов, так и еще с выходом демо версии следующего года как в данном случае 20 не обновлюят составы... ЗА ЛЕТНИЕ ТРАНСФЕРЫ КУЧА ПЕРЕХОДОВ, в игре их нет.

    The passes in the game are the movements of the players, the artificial intelligence is incredibly bad. When I play the game, only my nerves break down. It is a very very bad game that I do not enjoy. The worst football game I have played in my life.

    One word - SHOCKING. The Become A Legend mode is completely broken and playing it always frustrates me. I'm currently 86 rated and I barely 'feel' or play like an 86 rated player. I play on Top player and the difficulty only seems to apply to my player. My team mates can take multiple touches of the ball but the second I get the ball, I get tackled and the ref rarely ever blows in my favor. The passing is broken -the kind of passes I like to play ie through balls and one twos are always intercepted because the game only seems to reward certain patterns of play such as spamming low crossing into the box. Players make runs then stop midway like 'naah I change my mind' .. Whenever you ask for the ball, the broken coding means that your team mates pass the ball to exactly the position you asked for the ball instead of passing the ball to you. This means that if you're making a run and you stop, the ball is often passed behind you. Whenever I ask for the ball the pass always comes lobbed for some reason, even a simple 2 yard pass has to be lobbed. Let me not even start on the obvious scripting, beyond stupid AI... This career mode is one of the worst I have ever seen. I've played Fifa career modes my whole life and I wanted to try something different so I thought I'd try PES.. Shocking game!    … Expand

    Great new animations, magical moments, improved pass/receiving mechanics, and a lot more, makes for another great year of PES. It could have had more league licenses though.

    Almost perfect gameplay makes PES 2019 the best football simulation ever, but due to stagnation in terms of available modes and the usual scarcity of licences it’s “merely” a good game. [11/2018, p.82]
