The whole game seems to be better paced and not the mad scramble that FIFA games tend to be. The ball reacts as it should and not like it’s being influenced by an algorithm. On the pitch, FIFA players will need to unlearn EA’s version of the beautiful game.

If you are extra crafty, you can also find data files on the Internet that will update all the team names, players and strips to the real ones! If you’ve the patience, you can edit the unlicensed teams to match the real ones. The game does a really good job of covering itself were it doesn’t have the official licenses by having crafty similar player names. There are also 21 licensed leagues, but unfortunately, not the English Premiership.Īll in all, though the game features a massive opportunity to play with real licensed teams and players. There are over 60 licensed international teams with the others featuring fictional kits, some with fictional player names as well. The game also features a licensed version of the UEFA Euro 2020 international tournament featuring the participating 55 teams. So, if you are a fan of FC Barcelona, Bayern München, Juventus, Man United, Arsenal or the 18 other minor clubs, you are going to be very well catered for. There are five partner clubs that have been heavily involved in the development of the game. Whilst the game does lack many official licenses, notably from the English Premier League, the game does feature a lot of official teams and as well as leagues and tournaments. In any case, I’ve no real complaints at all with the game’s top-class visual fidelity. Don’t get me wrong, I could stare at Mesut Özil’s real eyes for ages trying to work out what’s going on there, but in PES, it looks like the poor chap hasn’t slept in a week. You expect Z-list players to look a be generic, but even some very well-know players look pretty weird. The player’s faces, on the other hand, are a bit of a mixed bag.
The lighting, the detail off the stadiums and the on-pitch action is superb. The game engine, Hideo Kojima’s legendary Fox Engine, originally developed for Metal Gear Solid 5, looks the business. But don’t let this lack of gloss fool you. Konami’s PES front-end is still as subdued as ever and really could do with a polish. Whilst little Johnny is likely to still be well pissed-off that grandma picked up eFootball PES 2021 Season Update instead of FIFA 21, I have to say, it is, in many ways, a better football game than FIFA. I’ve dismissing the artisan football gamers proclaiming PES’s superiority as just a bunch of contrary hipsters too proud to admit that EA’s football is the best. To be fair, I’ve scoffed at PES for its lack of licenses and dodgy-looking menus.
Having been away from PES I’m a lot more familiar and comfortable with FIFA. It’s really hard to take about Konami’s PES without mentioning EA’s FIFA, as the two rival football games have been at each other for years. Instead, what we have here is PES 2020, but updated with this year’s stats and Euro 2020. Konami, it seems, unlike EA Games, have moved beyond the pretense that we are getting a new football game this year.

Whilst I’ve been away playing EA Sports’ FIFA with all it’s polish, licenses players, teams, competitions and razzamatazz, Pro Evolution Soccer has evolved. Konami’s naming convention for its eFootball PES 2021 Season Update is, to be frank, rather bizarre. Football, as they say, is a funny old game.
