efootball PES 2020 comes with a great new-designed league-mode, where you lead your team through the season. It feels a lot better than in the years before, because you can take a deeper look on the daily work as a coach. There are many cutscenes or interviews and dialogues, that make the mode more realistic than ever before. PES 2020 is also convincing in the stadiums, where the great gameplay on the football-ground comes along with an intense atmosphere.

Konami scored an amazing goal with eFootball PES 2020, improving an already effective gameplay to make it almost perfect. Evolution has only partially involved the game modes, but the result is the best chapter in the series and a divine football simulation.

Konami's eFootball PES 2020 continues the series' stellar output on the pitch, which is enough to fully overcome the issues off it.

eFootball PES 2020 is a strong leap forward for Konami's perennial second-place soccer game, and while it still doesn't beat FIFA, it comes close.

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.

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.

PES 2020 is as good as it ever has been. Although the lack of licenses and dire commentary might put some off, the easier than ever to use edit mode means these ills shouldn't be a problem to fix. eFootball PES 2020 is a near-perfect football sim that deserves your attention.

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.

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.

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.

PES 2020 is once again outstanding in terms of gameplay, but has to catch up to do in terms of modes and licenses.

Konami closes off the current generation with the best entry that we have seen so far. eFootball PES 2020 posseses, undoubtetly, the most realistic gameplay ever for a football game. Unfortunately, the game still lacks the same thing as the previous entries: its game modes do not have enough depth.

The most realistic chapter of the saga. It lacks licenses, but its control makes up for it. If you are looking for a pure simulator, Konami's title will satisfy your needs, but if you prefer a more direct and faster style of play, it may not convince you. In addition, if you like to play online, you will enjoy because it's specially designed to compete against other players online but it falls somewhat short in terms of game modes.

Pro Evolution Soccer is on the right path and eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer 2020 completely proves it. The new installment of Konami's popular football simulator is the best game of series in this generation until now. Smooth and enjoyable gameplay, amazing graphics, various entertaining mods to play, new licenced leagues like Serie A, and beautiful real animations, made eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer 2020 a game you should not miss at all if you love football, whther or not you are fan of series. Of course there are some issues like licence problems for some of the best leagues like La liga and English Premier League, but the game has so many amazing aspects that some licence issues can't ruin your amazing experience of eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer 2020 at all.

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.
