![]() ![]() Gorgeous goals are possible, and they get you off your seat. So, yeah, on the pitch, PES 2020 is a weird experience. In one match, Jim Beglin remarked on a save my keeper made a minute ago, saying: "I can't stop thinking about it." All right mate. But then there's repeated lines in the same match, words put into a sentence that clearly weren't recorded together, and, hilariously, bizarre lines of dialogue. PES 2020 does this thing PES has done for ages where Peter Drury will scream the name of the player who took a shot seconds ago - and keep screaming their name. How about giving us the option to turn replays off?Īs is PES tradition, the commentary is terrible - and it seems to be getting worse. I'd hoped Konami would have sorted it out for this game, but it hasn't. Like in PES 2019, PES 2020 serves you up a replay for pretty much every stop in play, and there's a new annoying logo swirl to mash the Options button through. I don't know what's going on inside that pretend head of his, but I really don't think the ref is thinking about football. He really, really doesn't want to get his card out, and believe me, I've encouraged him. He'll blow a foul for nothing, then let a rugby tackle pass. He's picky one minute, uninterested the other. I'm not going to call PES 2020's referee what those in the real-life stands would, but he certainly deserves some stick. How a football game on which Iniesta consulted ended up featuring players who play like they're hungover is anyone's guess. ![]() He'd finish 90 minutes without a spot of dirt on his shirt because his markers couldn't get near him. Andres Iniesta, one of the greatest midfielders of all time, was able to turn on a sixpence. There's a lack of responsiveness across the board here that sabotages refined dribbling. It's nigh-on impossible to beat a player in PES 2020, which, I think, is the result of a number of factors, including the grounded feel of the game.

And here's another look at the preposterous defending.this was a goal for me but still felt really cheap as the defender could(should) have taken that away easily from r/WEPES To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Well, I'm all up to date, and it still happens. The issue is so stark, I initially thought it a launch bug that would be patched by a day one update. I've conceded goals because of this, both online against human opponents in m圜lub and offline against the AI. He'll just let it pass him by, leaving an opposition player to collect it, knock it on or, worst of all, get a shot on goal. On occasion - and I should stress, this doesn't happen all the time, but it happens often enough for it to be a significant problem - one of your defenders will ignore the ball. PES 2020 has a new and optional camera perspective, but it often loses track of the ball. I'd even go as far as to call some aspects of the gameplay broken. It's rare that you'll see a player do that jarring sports video game thing of sliding into place to force an animation to meet the ball, or jerk unnaturally as he realises his atoms should be in one position over another.īut then, there's a lot that's not great about the on-pitch action in this year's PES. ![]() The fluidity of motion in this game is something else.

PES 2020's ball is a thing of beauty, the best video game football I've ever virtually kicked. At times I couldn't help but think, is this the best PES ever? Gameplay wise, I mean. As it stands, it's a weird mix of brilliant and broken. PES 2020 is a patch or three away from being a very good game. ![]()
