    EFootball PES is back for its 2021 installment in spite the fact that most of the sport games like 2K's NBA2K, EA's FIFA, Madden NFL, and NHL keep releasing each fall and locking people down with their marketing and strong approach to the sports games they create. PES 2021 is doing things differently and basically a very different but ultimate he'd to head competition with FIFA year overEFootball PES is back for its 2021 installment in spite the fact that most of the sport games like 2K's NBA2K, EA's FIFA, Madden NFL, and NHL keep releasing each fall and locking people down with their marketing and strong approach to the sports games they create. PES 2021 is doing things differently and basically a very different but ultimate he'd to head competition with FIFA year over year. You'll get bonuses if you played PES 2020 and the game is back again in similar fashion to last year, I usually personally enjoy the PES series over FIFA but they are both very different experiences. Most of the sports games are just updated player roasters and keeping the core of the game engine the same maybe some feature changes and some extra style to sauce it up for the new year. Konami has implemented a number of familiar modes into PES 2021 such as Master League MyClub and Matchday alongside other traditional ones you’ll recognise from previous entries. With the next-gen version poised to overhaul Pro Evolution Soccer with the 9th console generation upon us, we will likely be waiting until then for some truly innovative new additions to the already great franchise. I need to say that sadly there's not much in new game-play mechanics on PES 2021 over PES 2020 which is actually not all bad as last years installment was excellent. There's fine line to keeping the core fan base happy, bringing new players into the fold, and adding new features and improvements without fixing something that didn't need fixed. Looking forward to seeing PES make it's debut on the Series X as Konami is well known for the quality of their studios titles and weather your a FIFA fan or a PES fan in the end you can't go wrong and I still recommend PES 2021 despite not being revolutionary over last years installment on the Xbox One.… Expand

    This is a cosmetic update to last year's title at a budget price. You aren't paying full price for a pretend full release, which is such a welcome change of pace. This game is half the price of a regular retail release as Konami waits for the next generation of consoles to launch and I welcome both the honesty and the savings.

    I respect their decision. They want to take their time and develop something that will actually feel different. Right now, they need to keep the playerbase alive and get some extra funds to the next PES game. PES 2021 is basically the same game like I imagined but It actually feels much more responsive than the last one.

    Konami have been transparent from the jump about this game and at half the price it's worth it. Having said that, there are some minor gameplay tweaks for the better.

    By far the best football game around, very affordable as Konami have been very honest with current gen limits.
    It's a good game for true football fans, it will time time, skill and patience to get good but when you do it's so much more satisfying than other games.
    If you're sick of pick up and play then pump money into other titles

    Konami perhaps missed a beat and could have been a tad bit more generous by making this an even more budget-priced game than what it is being sold for to capture any FIFA players who are on the fence, but it is still worth the price of admission. If fluid, tactical and sublime football is what you are looking for then look no further than eFootball PES 2021 Season Update.

    eFootball PES 2021 Season Update on Xbox One should be overlooked by those who own PES 2020 because it’s not worth the hassle of starting all over again for a selection of kits and partially updated squads. On the other hand, the gameplay and the modes combined with the updates makes it slightly more alluring to newcomers who haven’t experienced any of it. Even then it’s not a must-have and you may be best picking up PES 2020 on the cheap.

    eFootball PES 2021 Season Update reissues the same, excellent game of last year with updated players and licenses. Seen the budget price, it's recommended to soccer lovers that didn't play the previous game, while it's hard to suggest it to fans who spent tens or thousands of hours on PES 2020.
