eFootball PES 2021 Reviews
eFootball PES 2021 is, ironically, much more than just a small roster update, bringing some very important gameplay adjustments that keep making the series one of the best sports simulators on the market, even though the lack of licenses and the games modes that feel frozen in time can hamper the fun.

at the cheaper price and all the updates, this is the definitive version of PES for the current-gen, and a great way to move into the next game.
eFootball PES 2021 does exactly what it says. Well, not exactly, as it took some time to refine a few gameplay elements of its predecessor to become even more enjoyable on the pitch - even online.

On paper the idea of turning this edition of PES into a mere update is a good idea. Football blew up, the two seasons almost piled up and the pandemic stopped development for too many months. It is better to focus on the next edition, provided that at least the minimum trade union commitment is devoted to this package, which has not happened. The absence of a partial update of roses and teams at the time of launch is unacceptable, as is the ugliness of the inter and Milan uniforms, although what PES 21 proposes always remains the best kick on the square (IMHO, eh, I do not want to be beaten by FIFA supporters).

A new approach for the sports genre, with welcome results: this offers more than a roster update, and at a very appealing price.
eFootball PES 2021 Season Update consists of an updated version of its predecessor from last year. In addition to renewing the lineups, the gameplay has been improved and is better than ever. Although some bad elements have also been maintained, such as narration and licensing, I believe that the general package offers a good cost-benefit for lovers of electronic football in Brazil and worldwide.

If anything, eFootball PES 2021 Season Update is very upfront and very honest. It offers almost nothing new when compared to last year’s PES 2020, besides some very minute (but still welcome) gameplay tweaks and some roster updates. However, it does feature a much more honest price tag as a means to compensate for that.
If PES 2021 were a $60 game I could not recommend it to people who weren’t already fans of the Pro Evolution Soccer series. However, it’s a $30 game, and if you’re looking for an affordable single-player soccer experience, PES 2021 could be the game you’re looking for.
Releasing PES2021 as an updated version of 2020's PES with lower price is a good decision from Konami and i think this should be the way for 2-3 years. Gameplay quality and simulating players is really awesome and if you love football simulators, you should definitely play PES2021. Beside fans, It is also the best time to play PES for new-comers.

The best football game of the generation.

his Season Update experiment makes you wonder why this hasn’t been the norm for football games for years. If this is the future of the genre, sign me up. EA should be looking over their shoulder. PES has retaken the crown.
With it costing half the price of a full retail release, it makes eFootball PES 2021 Season Update well worth the price of admission
The late version of the PES saga, eFootball PES 2021 Season Update is what we already expected, an update with slighty playable improvements, a facelift especially in color, but keeping all the good (and the bad) of the previous game. Fans will be pleased, but they deserve a 2022 title that breaks with everything.

Unfortunately, all of the positives that stem from better gameplay are diminished a little by stale modes and lackluster online play. If you enjoyed eFootball PES 2020 last year, you'll have some fun with this update as it improves on gameplay. However, if you skipped last year's game and have to pay full price, I'd probably pass. There's just not enough improvements off-the-pitch to warrant $60.
Don't bother with PES 2021 if you can option file PES 2020, but if you're coming in fresh, PES 2021 is a decent shout at a decent price.
PES Productions' honesty is commendable. This is a package meant for football diehards that love the PES formula and want the latest rosters, without going through the trouble of downloading fam-made patches for last year's title.
