![]() ![]() ![]() On the audio side of things, well…the soundtrack is okay, and as mentioned before, the stadium atmosphere is cracking, but the commentary is getting to be a running joke at this point. On the upside, I do like the more minimalist matchday scoreboard UI when players score. ![]() I know we’d all prefer the budget mainly went into how the series plays, but just that bit more effort on creating something actually different for the menus and gameday presentation would be just as refreshing as changes to the football. Menus have received a paint job, simplifying the title screen in a genuinely pleasing manner, but otherwise it’s still very much reliant on the boxy setup we’ve seen in countless iterations of the series. Stadiums are breathtakingly recreated, with suitably electric atmosphere for teams like Manchester United, Celtic and Juventus when they play at their home ground. Even when PES has felt like it is punching above its weight in other departments the last few years, the game has been undeniably gorgeous throughout. The FOX Engine continues to produce some absolute magic in terms of lighting and player likenesses. Sadly, the A.I remains a haphazard prospectĪway from the actual playing of the beautiful game, PES 2020 sees a visual upgrade in several departments. Combine those tow problems and it shines a very bright light on things that really needed to be fixed. Again, I must stress this is not a gravely frequent issue, but it’s so very noticeable when it costs you a goal or a goalscoring opportunity. problem, can spell disaster and frustration.

Inconsistent Player A.I Lets The Side Down It adds a bit of viable tactical variety to your in-game strategy. The handling of ball and players is as good as it ever was.īig name players have more of a personal identity to go alongside the physical change to the game, so playing as the likes of Ceballos, Sterling, and Maradona (one of many returning Legend players) can use their low centre of gravity and sublime control to open up spaces just as they should, whilst bigger, more shall we say, hands on types can clatter their way past defensive blockades and stifle attacking threats with raw power. Gaining ground is tougher in 2020 so finding ways to draw fouls is a fresh and necessary tactical option.
