Problem is, if you’ve already purchased last year’s release, then there really is no point in making the ‘upgrade’ – especially if you’re planning on playing this on the PS4. Preferences obviously vary wildly depending on what you want from a football game, but if what you want is a football game that, well, plays a really good game of football, then the clumsily named, eFootball PES 2021: Season Update, is still going to be the game for you. Despite its invariable familiarity, though, eFootball PES 2021 is still, for my money, at least, the finest football game money can buy, and given what I have seen and heard about the imminent release of FIFA 21, is likely to remain as much for at least another season. Everything about it, as one might have expected, is still true for this year’s encouragingly honest, but nontheless slightly disappointing, Season Update. The visuals are still the same, being most likely the last time the FOX Engine will ever be used, and the sound department is still comprised of good narration and forgettable indie music when you’re in a menu.If you look below, you’ll find my review of last year’s, eFootball PES 2020. There are a few new licensed player faces, brand new player stats, a few new kits, and that’s it. The amount of leagues and teams is basically identical, with the exception of one or two teams that have been replaced by generic counterparts due to external licensing issues, such as Brazil’s Palmeiras. The rest of the game is exactly what its title implies: an update. Last year’s PES 2020 featured the best controls I’ve ever seen from a PES/ Winning Eleven game, so I’m glad they didn’t try to tinker that much with something that didn’t need a lot of fixing to begin with. In short, the gameplay is still the same as before, which is a relief. Controlling the ball feels smoother and players feel a little bit less robotic as a result. Previous versions of PES (and FIFA, for that matter) made the sole act of keeping the ball close to the player a bit trickier than it should have been, but things felt a bit easier in PES 2021. The main improvement I could notice was on first touch.
PES is still the go-to option if you want to play with Brazilian teams. After playing a few matches, however, I could notice that the gameplay has been improved as well, even if not by much. That’s what I thought I was going to tackle, a simple update, something more akin to mere DLC. They didn’t try to hide the fact that eFootball PES 2021 is basically PES 2020 with new kits and rosters.
EFOOTBALL PES 2021 RATINGS FULL
When compared to what EA does with its FIFA titles, basically charging us full price for a game that features little to no upgrades with each new iteration, Konami’s strategy is indeed more honest and upfront. They also caused a stir by charging much less than usual for this game when compared to previous PES titles.
Because of this, they knew they wouldn’t have time to properly focus on this year’s iteration. The company is focusing on next-gen hardware and the brand new Unreal Engine 5, giving their team enough time to come up with a brand new graphical overhaul and better physics.
EFOOTBALL PES 2021 RATINGS UPDATE
Konami shocked consumers and industry specialists when they announced that this year’s PES 2021 would not be technically a brand new game, but as its full title implies, a season update over last year’s fantastic eFootball PES 2020.
