    eFootball PES 2020 is a new step forward for Konami. Gameplay is still fun, but there are very few novelties in everything else.

    eFootball PES 2020 gives great football play, however at the moment, there are many problems that need to be resolved. I enjoy the FIFAeFootball PES 2020 gives great football play, however at the moment, there are many problems that need to be resolved. I enjoy the FIFA franchise also, however the overall PES feel is more like a real football game when everything is working on par than FIFA does. First the positives, yes all the usual PES goodness in terms of realistic build up play, realistic pace and the improved dribbling and touch skills are all there. It feels like football, no question, when it's playing as it should. However the negatives counter this: Online matchmaking takes forever, if you can find a match at all. Lag: Online matches are riddled with shocking lag, stutters can last over a second and the game has moved on. I stopped playing online football games in the past because of this same issue issue, I surely hope it's not back to stay. Online match balancing is awful as a result, my first match was against a team with all high level black ball players. My second online game was more fairly matched as 2018/19 squads, it has to be mentioned despite promises of an update soon. The squads are way out of date, a few recent transfers I could forgive but to release like this is shocking. Out of date squads prevent me from wanting to start the career elements as I want to at least start against the up to date squads. I the many problems can be resolved quickly this will be the go-to football game on my Xbox One. Full Review »

    Best gameplay ever. Enough said. EA can shove the licenses up their ass. KONAMI sorted out most of the issues with last year's game

    Konami did it again, best gameplay and state of the art visuals. If you are a football fan, this is your game. The pitch is ours.
