For instance, this reviewer saw the improved system in action when his attempted transfer of Thomas Vermalen from Barcelona to Luton Town was, unsurprisingly, rebuffed by the player due to Luton Town not being big enough for him. The more realistic transfer system was far less heralded but its effect on the game is much larger. However when playing, there’s little visible difference in gameplay because of managers, other than an increase replays that show the manager reacting to the game. Much was made of the addition of legendary managers such as Johan Cruyff and Diego Maradona. This season big changes were promised, but it’s the smallest ones that make the largest impact. Merging RPG-like leveling up of players with football management, it’s still the key reason why players keep coming back to the title. The poor presentation has long been a part of PES that fans have had to overlook and this trend continues for this iteration. Licensing aside, the presentation generally feels unlike any sports broadcast in 2019, which doesn’t help you feel totally immersed into the game, even if the gameplay itself does. PES 2020 has added Serie A in its entirety this season and, if you’re on PS4 or the PC, there’s always the option files from the faithful editing community that’ll make every team an official one. Licensing has improved this season, most notably with the headline-grabbing addition of Juventus in an exclusive deal. One plus point in the latest title is its new camera angle, which apes just how TV broadcasts showcase the game. While it’s easy to compare PES to FIFA, other sports games such as NBA 2K, Madden and MLB The Show also manage to create graphics that are far closer to broadcast TV than what PES manages. In comparison to other sports games, PES has always had something of the rudimentary about it in terms of presentation. It’s hard to compare the two games when the demo of FIFA 20 only released this morning, but comparing PES 2020 to FIFA 19 in terms of pure gameplay, PES is leagues ahead. These changes showcase just why PES has always been a step ahead of FIFA when it comes to gameplay. having Messi on the ball leads to players spreading out to leave room for him to dribble. The Inspire feature means AI teammates adapts to a players skills - i.e. The new features of Finesse Dribble and Inspire are welcome additions. You’ll also get used to steadying yourself, as balance plays an imperative role in shooting and passing. For instance, you’re much more likely to try and use your pacey striker to intercept a defender’s weak back pass, which would leave you with a perfect shot - only if you steady yourself first. The ball’s uniqueness also leads to some situations that much more closely ape real football. The ball’s independent movement makes passing riskier than it’s been before which, in turn, makes a successful passing sequence incredibly satisfying. While this may sound like a small change, it changes every aspect of the game, from interceptions to dribbling to shooting. Moreso than ever, it feels completely independent from the player. “Comparing ‘PES’ to ‘FIFA’ in terms of pure gameplay, ‘PES’ is leagues ahead.”īut perhaps the most important part of why the game feels so realistic is the movement of the ball. That means a player like Paul Pogba is an essential addition to a PES lineup. The increased space afforded to players due to the scale of the pitch, along with a slower pace in comparison to FIFA, means you’ll be able to effectively decide how your team plays from the center of the pitch. In PES however, the central midfielder is the heart and soul of your team. In FIFA, it’s a position that can be ignored in favor of pacey wingers, leaving the midfielders’ only job to be trailing in for second-chance shots or playing through balls to the aforementioned wingers. If there’s any singular thing that showcases the realism of PES, it’s the importance of the central midfielder. For instance, if you try to run the length of the pitch with an unskilled player he’ll eventually lose control of the ball, with the game forcing you to use bursts of pace rather than holding onto the sprint button for extended periods. PES 2020 shows marked improvements in this field, creating what is quite possibly the most realistic game of football available in a video game today. The most important part of PES has always been gameplay.
