    A fantastic game worth trying!

    1. This is the first football game I’ve played and enjoyed, in this decade. This game is made for everyone! 2. PES 2020 is an enjoyable, simulation sort of game in respect to handling players’ movements while playing the same. The controls and player movements are near to reality. 3.

    A fantastic game worth trying!

    1. This is the first football game I’ve played and enjoyed, in this decade. This game is made for everyone!
    2. PES 2020 is an enjoyable, simulation sort of game in respect to handling players’ movements while playing the same. The controls and player movements are near to reality.
    3. Planning strategies and tactics, positioning players and other in-game options are good for preparing before starting the matches.
    4. Cut-scene visuals and replays are enjoyable and fun to watch.
    5. Recently, though I’ve had an opportunity to play other newly released football games for a brief time period, I would recommend ‘PES 2020’ because of its almost realistic game-play physics and in-game arrangements... This is a personal choice.
    6. Practice mode is great! In ‘skill training’, you are taught kick styles, tactics, etc. In ‘free training’, you can practice however you want to.
    7. Whether online, co-op or solo, playing PES 2020 is a great experience. 
    8. PES 2020 is truly an entertaining game.

    PES 2020 gives a lot more emotion than FIFA20. I did not play in PES for 7-8 years and over the years it has changed noticeably. First, now she is not so inferior graphically, second gameplay in her is more pleasant. Of course, there are problems with licenses for clubs and leagues. It's very annoying. The mechanics of managing the club in his career are made more interesting than in FIFA.PES 2020 gives a lot more emotion than FIFA20.

You can adjust everything to yourself and it pleases, there are no dumb game frames like in FIFA. But besides the gameplay of PES 2020, there is nothing to surprise. Banal trifles as an interface and soundtrack are much worse here. Navigation is not so simple and convenient. In general, I was pleased to leave 15 hours in the game. For Game Pass, this is the game, but I would not take it for Full Price. Expand

    Jogadores correm que nem gordos, impossível não tomar gol de falta, um toque no adversário e é falta com cartão amarelo, o jogador da cpu que tem 60 de velocidade ganha do nosso que tem 80, narração repetitiva e sem carisma e até ofensivos.

    Love how honest Konami was and then charging less. They realised this is as far as the game can go current gen so added some updates and extra visuals to what was the most realistic football game about.
    If you're like me and sick of the other game give this a go as you won't be disappointed. A real football game that takes skill and patience rather than pick up and play and pump money into

Mas o modo myclub conseguiu ficar pior, fazendo várias versões dos mesmos jogadores pra ganhar com microtransação, ninguém joga com os jogadores que é fã, todo mundo tem só as versões especiais com uns 90 de overall o que estragou a questão de evoluir aquele jogador de tanto jogar, fora isso, compensa muito mais pegar aquele reserva do barcelona upado que aquele legend que tirou na sorte. Além disso tiraram a opção de criar um modo carreira com um manager com rosto editavel, não faz o menor sentido isso, agora nos limitamos a umas 10 opções, sendo que antes se eu quisesse criar um treinador parecido comigo era só me esforçar e tentar, agora somos muito mais limitados.
    A falta de option file ainda pesa, infelizmente me acostumei já. Mas o MYCLUB é o modo online com menos atenção que já vi nos games, não é só pelo fato de todo time ter messi e cr7, mas também porque tudo depende da sorte, olheiros é o pior método que já vi de compra e pra fechar os eventos que fazem: uma copa por semana, você ganha 1 ou 3 jogos e acabou
    Podiam fazer assim: Uma copa que só pode jogador prata, outra que só pode jogador de um país, uma copa que todos os jogadores precisam começar com tal letra do alfabeto. Isso ia dar uma rotação muito maior, de jogadores, quase todo mundo só joga com os melhores do time e fica com um monte de jogador bom sobrando, eu mesmo só uso os mesmos 14 ou 15 jogadores e tenho mais de 200.

    It is better than fifa 20. Master league is ok but not up to the same quality as something like Football Manager. The gameplay is a bit stiff and a bit hard. Still get pes over fifa so EA can die in a hole.

    After living the hell that FIFA does not offer, with his rat children and his sticker. It is a pleasure to play a "normal" soccer game again. That does not prevent it from looking like a low-budget movie, the one that seems to need something that makes it bigger every moment.

    Podriamos decir que podemos pasar de jugar myclub, pero esto no nos aportaria una solucion, ya que los sistemas offline estaran igual de rotos, convirtiendo al titulo, en un titulo roto y repetitivo, el año que viene pasara lo mismo, una beta que sera muy buena ya que no dispone de micropagos, un juego que al comprarlo te situa en modo de novato y te facitita que ganes para que te enganches y volvera a romperse en el momento que no efectues micropagos, mala compra,tomadura de pelo,situaciones de impotencia por que es imposible avanzar en el juego si no ejerces micropagos, en defitiva un juego que no esta programado para que el usuario disfrute y pase con el buenos momentos, es un titulo que esta programado desde el dia 1 para sacarnos todo el dinero que pueda y que sin dudarlo se olvidara del deporte que representa, de los valores que son indicativos de un juego justo, que gane el mejor, un juego que olvida todo eso para anteponer sus scripts,handicaps y tragaperras a la diversion del usuario, la sensacion es que compras una demo de un buen juego y tienes que ir renovando el juego a base de efectuar micropagos compra nada recomendada.

I'm all for realism, but when nearly every pass you make goes straight to the opposition team and your hitting the post or bar 8 times in a game it just becomes tiresome. It's not realistic, it's just boring. It always happens right after you start the game as well, same as Fifa. It's a real shame they have adopted this way of playing as the game can be a joy to play sometimes. The movement of the ball and the player physics are incredible, and the way you can score goals is so diverse.
    When you know theres no way to score and win certain games tho, what's the point ?

    I've heavily played both PES and FIFA so can say I don't lean either way, unbiased. I was impressed with PES 2019, but it had many faults (and no I am not talking about the licensing). Responsiveness is awful, controls are horrible, things don't work properly, AI is ridiculously stupid. I overall liked 2019 because it was better than the last so many years of FIFA, though.

    Getting to 2020, it is, in a very "EA spirit", a carbon copy of 2019, with new players, updates and a shiny new interface - nothing more.
    Same problems, issues, toxic community (even worse than FIFA's), plays so clumsy.
    The match ups online are so polarised too. No "close matches", either you get destroyed because they swarm you and there's nothing you can do about it and they know all the tricks and exploits - or you destroy them.

    EA may be bad and FIFA never improves, but PES is so badly made, the only vast amounts of reviews on here are from hardcore PES lovers (and they'd sooner love PES in any state than move to FIFA).

    It baffles me that this game is considered to have "superior gameplay" to Fifa, yes at times it can feel more like a realistic game of football and the passing (when it actually goes where you aim it) can feel sublime and real, also tackling feels great a lot of the time, I don't think the commentary from Peter Drury and Jim Beglin is nearly as bad as many reviewers seem to claim either, IIt baffles me that this game is considered to have "superior gameplay" to Fifa, yes at times it can feel more like a realistic game of football and the passing (when it actually goes where you aim it) can feel sublime and real, also tackling feels great a lot of the time, I don't think the commentary from Peter Drury and Jim Beglin is nearly as bad as many reviewers seem to claim either, I quite like Jim Beglin actually though admittedly more in real life than in the game. Now on to the many negatives from my experience, very very slow and unresponsive player movement, a far less effective and fun skill stick compared to FIFA, strange and ridiculous referee calls, atrocious AI movement and tactics, shots feel weightless and unresponsive, passes that go all over the place despite where you aim them, and lastly crazy difficulty spikes and goal avalanches out of nowhere. Fifa 20 and PES 20 both seem to be very poor this year, but in general Fifa is more responsive and more fun to play though when things work as they should PES 20 is a good game, unfortunately more often than not there are ridiculous things that happen each match that drag the whole experience into the gutter! 5/10!

It’s extremely easy to build a 5 stars team, there’s no “challenge” to build a good team like we were used
    KONAMI, PLEASE SAVE MYCLUB

    We from community, are very disappointed with the way that the team are managing myclub (and online modes in general as well)
    1- There is less than 1 month that the game was launched and EVERYBODY has a 5 stars team, with lots of players with 90+ overall. It’s extremely easy to build a 5 stars team, there’s no “challenge” to build a good team like we were used to in previous versions (until 2018). We needed to play day by day, week by week, in order to build a 5 stars squad. Now, in 1 or 2 weeks it’s done, easily.
    2- There’s no innovation inside the mode, myclub is exactly the same as PES 2019. I mean, it’s the same PES 2019 myClub, but with less features (there’s no MyClub Open Tournaments, for example). 3- Literally, there’s nothing to do inside the mode. The campaigns are too simple and repetitive. The rewards are not attractive and there’s no tournaments or competitions inside myclub. The Online Challenge is exactly the same since the game was launched. We are for 3 weeks playing the same things, the same challenges, the same prizes, the same rankings. There’s not even a daily tournament to keep us motivated to play every day. We need urgent action. Insert daily challenges, give us reasons to turn the game on every day. As a suggestion, the challenges could be divided by team level, only silver players, gold players, black players, or just use players of some league, nationality, and so on.
    The ranked matches should be more attractive and challenging. It’s necessary to improve the prizes and reward the players as they are rising the divisions. There’s no sense you keep giving us GP’s, if the main players are sign with coins. Encourage sign players by auction, decreasing the wait time in order to effective the bid.
    Let us manage our team. We want to change our offensive, defensive tactics and formations, without an “external” coach need. If it's called MY CLUB, makes sense I manage my team as I feel it’s right. We also need more training tools, like position and abilities training items, and we want to choose witch special ability we want to improve in each player.
    Outside myClub, we also need more options to play online. Online Divisions are the same format since PES 2015, it’s not attractive. In previous versions, we used to play online tournaments (WEPES), until PES 2017 there were at least 20 Wepes per day. Now, there’s just MatchDay, it’s not enough, we need Online Tournaments back. Finally, we need an answer of you guys. We love this game, and we want to play it all year long, but this lack of objectives inside myclub, makes us stop playing too early. #SaveMyClub #PES2020.

    It comes as no-surprise that eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer 2020 fits into the category of an exceptional football simulator. Superb graphical realism, and tantalising gameplay, create an experience that fans of the beautiful game should absolutely play. Konami really needs to find a way to license the Premier League and La Liga to start tempting those away from FIFA, especially those who are really bothered about licenced content.
