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.

eFootball PES 2021 is purely an update to the last year's installment, so don't expect any dramatic changes. However, we appreciate the publisher's honesty to simply just focus on the next-gen version and the game still remains the best football simulation there is.

With it costing half the price of a full retail release, it makes eFootball PES 2021 Season Update well worth the price of admission

In the case of the previous PlayStation 4 and PC title holders, we cannot find any real reason to upgrade, unless they desperately want the new menu wallpapers, the three thousand extra MyClub points, or just want to support Konami.

The eFootball PES 2021 Season Update is certainly not a brilliant version or even a good downloadable content, but it is acceptable for two reasons; One is to establish a formula that the author believes reflects the gameplay and the green rectangle, and the other is the honesty of the manufacturer and publisher not to produce new content and halve the final price of the product, which we hope will create a new wave and culture for sports games. Create annually. Of course, all of these interpretations are worthwhile if the PES and Konami development team pave the way for next year's next-generation version and fill the void left in this year's version with a stunning display.

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.

For being almost the same as PES 2020, eFootball PES 2021 Season Update is still an enjoyable game.

It is appreciated that Konami releases PES 2021 as an update rather than releasing the same game every year.

eFootball PES 2021 Season Update reissues the same, excellent game of last year with updated players and licenses. Seen the budget price, it's recommended to soccer lovers that didn't play the previous game, while it's hard to suggest it to fans who spent tens or thousands of hours on PES 2020.

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.

eFootball PES 2021, as an annual update and priced at $ 30, still can not be a good option to buy. The game has been released in most parts without any changes compared to before, and in the parts that we are witnessing changes, these changes have been to the detriment of the game experience. The lack of licenses of Milan and Inter is also considered as one of the new shortcomings of the game. Finally, buying the new game is not recommended for 2020 owners at all, but if you have not experienced last year's version, the $ 30 eFootball PES 2021 could be a good option to experience the latest version of the series in the eighth generation of consoles.

PES 2021: Season Update is a great football game if you're new to the series, but veterans should just update their existing copies of PES 2020 with this season's squads and kits. Mid-table finish for me, Clive.

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.

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.

While this is as the name suggests just a season update, it does improve on PES 2020 where it matters most and that is on the pitch. Once you add a option file in and get the latest transfer updates applied it really is a good package and one that will be iterated on throughout the year. In terms of modes PES needs a serious overhaul, but while we wait for that in 12 months on PS5, this is a good stop-gap.
