eFootball PES 2020 is a confusing title to recommend. It's best likened to an Alfa Romeo as, when everything works, it's majestic. However, when it's not, which is most of the time, it's such a frustrating experience because you know just how good it could be.

Great Football for newcomers and veterans, just with poor menu and UI. But with great gameplay and physics of the ball.

While eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer hasn't received as many enhancements as last year, its focus on weighty, realistic matches elevate it to greatness.

The latest iteration of the series is a hit worthy of its legacy, even if some of the problems that have been affecting it are back. The modes and options are still behind its competition, but, inside the pitch, eFootball PES 2020 is unbeatable.

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.

This year's PES is by no means a failure. It just requires a little more time from the players. And as a result, we fully approve.

As the best soccer/football simulator that can be experienced, PES 20 proves that just a strong and consistent gameplay cannot cause the player to experience a perfect game. Nevertheless, Konami should follow the same path of building the new generation of gameplay on the shattered body of past PES titles in the coming years to modernize the modes, challenges and different parts of the game.

When all is said and done, we can only marvel at what Konami is doing with PES, despite being the underdog. The latest eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer 2020 is fun and great to play, and that's always what people truly want.

Despite the clear abandonment it has in some sectors, eFootball PES 2020 is a great football title and one of the best simulators that exist. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a new stage of success for the franchise and if this is the path they will take from now on, we welcome the proposal of Konami and PES Productions with open arms.

PES 2020's on-field action has rarely been more satisfying. Off the pitch though, Konami plays it a little safe.

EFootball PES 2020 is a game with moments as great as its gameplay while also having aspects as awful as its new name.

The new name thankfully didn't change the direction of the series as well. On the other hand, eFootball PES 2020 doesn't offer any revolutionary changes. It's a iterative entry in the series with some good improvements, better graphics, almost perfect physics and new, detailed menu statistics.

Without doubts, PES makes a little step further every year, and eFootball PES 2020 is surely on the right track. The Master League feels more interesting since we can now play as a famous coach. How the ball reacts to different situation in the game is far more realistic than its predecessor.

The game opts for more technical and realistic football, is too conservative and new game modes and notable changes are missing to finish off the experience.

Ultimately the question everyone is asking, is it better than FIFA? It comes down to personal preference. PES 2020 undoubtedly plays a better more compelling version of the beautiful game. But some people will never get over the unlicensed content, and the extremely little effort Konami seems to place on anything outside of the on the pitch action. The effort Konami has made into the on the pitch action deserves notice. T hey've once again tweaked the formula and made an exciting yet realistic game of football. Not quite a wonder goal, but you've got to appreciate the effort put in.

One more year, KONAMI promptly brings us its vision of what a soccer simulator should be. And, one more year, it succeeds. Great ball physics, an ideal match tempo, an AI of its own that in much of the match does what it is expected to do, and a rival AI more human than ever, make this eFootball PES2020 the best soccer simulator that can be played to date.
