EFootball PES 2020 Review

Year after year and here we are again at this time of year witnessing the usual rivalry between the famous Pro Evolution Soccer series and FIFA, this competition that spans 25 years. Every year, one of the two series outperforms the other in a certain thing. Last year, EA hit Cruel to Konami, by obtaining the rights of the Champions League, European League and European Super Cup, which made many players go to the traditional opponent FIFA and PES lost a large part of its players and many expected the deterioration of this series, but I am Konami did not deteriorate and tried to obtain many rights For clubs and leagues and has promised changes to its upcoming games to compensate for the loss of these tournaments. Will Konami really be able to do that and compensate the fans of the series?

 

Play style

After the PES series was suffering in its infancy from the ease of playing and scoring goals, as young children mastered the game after a short period of playing it by memorizing the places of shots and the weaknesses of the guards, so the matches ended with a great result for any party inside the match, but the matter changed as we have seen in recent years and started With the change of the game engine to Fox Engine, with which it began to change the style of play gradually over the years and the passage of the releases until it became up to the level of challenge at the level of artificial intelligence, in this year's edition two new styles were added to the first camera called Stadium and the other Live Broadcast, which is a non-adjustable camera. But it works in the form of a transmission camera, like the one that transmits matches on television, and the style of play became as if you were watching a real match and became slower than the last part. Also, the movements of the players on the field became more realistic than the last part and became dependent on the tactic and depend on the skill of controlling the players on the field. These cameras were not present. Previously, only modifications added by users to the game

The passes have become smoother than before and you have to direct them correctly so that the ball reaches your teammate, in addition to the cross balls that are no longer the same, so now you have to make an effort and the body of the player who has the cross is in a correct position for a perfect cross, which is the same thing that applies to shots that will not You can score goals easily from them as usual from outside the penalty area, as the matter now requires players with great accuracy in shooting such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and by talking about them, we mention individual skills thanks to the Fitness Dribbling feature, which is a virtual skill that the player uses to move the analog right to get out of the block Defensive, which is a great feature that makes the gameplay more realistic, so the players' skills of passing, shooting and smoothness in real life are largely transferred within this year's part, so you have to choose your players with great accuracy!

 

Speaking of features, the game developer has added a unique style, which is the Ronaldinho player style, which is one of the skills that highly skilled players can perform from the first touch of the ball to the chest in addition to his technical skills, this method is intended for players who like to show off while playing but they must Caution because its implementation will not be easy and you will definitely face difficulties and you need to come back, there are also other obstacles, as players on the field tire quickly, such as the reality. On productivity and all thanks to the Visible fatigue feature that was added in the last year's version, so your changes must be present and made at the appropriate time from the time of the match

 

We cannot overlook the midfield players, which is one of the most important centers in football, so if you have midfield players who are skilled and can pass well, you will control the entire match and your opponent will find it very difficult to cut the balls from you. The balls and it depends on the tactics and the correct movement of the defenders on the field as the player cannot cut the ball unless he deserves to cut it, and the friction with the players also has improvements. In the case of counterattacks, which is something we hope will improve in the near future, even despite the choice of defensive plans that do not require progress, the goalkeeper has a clear focus and the movement of the goalkeeper and the response has become a challenge to play. Of singles and shots, which is a wonderful thing that makes it difficult for the opponent to score goals and adds a challenge to the game

 

 

Play phases

Before talking about the stages of playing, of course, many noticed that the name of this year's edition was changed to eFootball PES 2020 instead of just PES 2020. Of course, many fans of the series wonder why this change is and what its goal is, well the reason for this change is that Konami wants to enter the world of electronic sports Esports, therefore, changed the title to add the word efootball, where it wants the company to compete with its counterpart and its only competitor, the FIFA game that entered this world for a long time, so Konami had to work on a solution to satisfy its fans and fans, so in the coming period we will find PES 2020 in major international competitions Which is wonderful, of course

 

The online game joins a new phase called MatchDay, it is the first direction of the game for electronic sports after changing the name because it is an online phase that you can play at certain hours during the day and depend on the derbies that are held in reality where you as a player have to choose a specific side to support it Home or Away and then you By choosing a team according to the rounds held this week, and then you enter matches in front of other players, and your goal is to collect the largest number of points in front of them, as at the end of the day there will be a large final between more than one who has collected points on the two fronts, and other players can watch the live broadcast of the final to encourage a representative The side and upon completion the winner gets big prizes, in addition to all those who participated, they also receive various prizes that you can use in the My Club phase. As for the other online game modes, such as Co-op and My Club, they still have no renewals and are still defective in waiting for a very long time until you find a discount You, a matter that needs to be resolved in the future, because it causes tension

 

As for talking about the rest of the game, the well-known Become A Legend breakfast has not seen many changes from last year's release, but there has become a more professional development in its menus. The same case can be said on the My Club phase, which has developed the form of menus and the form of displaying players within lightening packages professionally. More than before, new legendary players such as Andres Iniesta and Ronaldinho were added, in addition to players from previous releases such as Beckham, Maradona and Johan Cruyff. As for the phase that witnessed major changes, it is the Master League phase. There are great coaches who train teams such as Cruyff, Maradona, Roberto Carlos and other players, and it is there. Many cinematic clips throughout the coach's training period and his dealings with the club's management to clarify his plan for the team during the season and footage from within the press conferences to become more realistic in addition to that the Derby matches have become a special character in this phase and have cinematic scenes different from the regular matches and the enthusiasm of the audience, so many modifications have been added. On this point, the lists have also been completely amended to become more smooth to control all club matters and their budget in a specific manner. Developing Master League this year has become very interesting

 

As for talking about licenses for the game, it has been more than a year since Konami lost the rights to the Champions League and Super European in favor of its rival, which had excelled in league licenses even before the Champions League rights were acquired, but Konami tried in various ways to compensate for this loss by contracting with big clubs such as Barcelona, ​​the Camp Nou, Arsenal and Emirates Stadium, and this year it is contracting with Manchester United to obtain the rights of the team and its Old Trafford stadium, as well as Bayern Munich, the Allianz Arena and Juventus, but it is not enough to provide an enjoyable experience for the players, so this year Konami announced a resounding surprise. Obtaining the Euro 2020 rights located throughout Europe, which will bring a huge update to the game that carries more than 50 teams, crews and players in addition to the championship stadiums and will also announce an electronic sport competition during the championship events with large financial prizes, which is a good step for Konami to return to the competition again

 

Graphics

The players' faces have made remarkable developments and the movement of the bodies has seen significant improvements and the movement of clothes has become more realistic in addition to the sweat and facial expressions, the stadiums are similar to their counterparts in fact, the movement of the grass also we notice it when a player passes the ball or pays a shot that the goalkeeper tackles when he falls on the ground, we see the effect of this The fall on the grass in addition to the fans and their different faces in addition to the reflections of the stadium lighting, the game performed well through our experience on the regular version of PS4 without any effect on the tires and the smoothness of the game

 

Acoustics

The commentators did not differ from the parts of the previous game, and this is a strong negative point, and we do not know why the commentators are not taken care of. Even the Arab comment in the voice of Fahd Al-Otaibi has not completely changed from the release of last year. The release of last year in the interaction of the fans inside the stadium with the goals and dangerous attacks, and also when a goal is scored against you, the fans completely challenge them and do not make any sound, but they are still a source of inspiration and great enthusiasm in the event that your goalkeeper deals with dangerous balls or in the case of dangerous balls being cut and also the songs that are on the lists It has the biggest and our favorite share

 

Game duration and replay value

Like any other sports game, eFootball PES 2020 does not have a certain number of hours to finish and you can play it throughout the year at any time you want with friends and family or play with other players through the online mode in the game or enjoy the new matchDay

 

Conclusion

In the introduction to the review, we asked about Konami's promises to advance the chain, and will it be able to withstand the pressure of traditional rival Fifa or not? Of course, now we know the answer, which is that the Pes series in terms of playing style and in terms of graphics, there is a clear advantage for it in this point, the style of play is very realistic, close to the truth and dazzling in a wonderful way that will make you play for long hours without boredom

 

As for the level of graphics, there are clear improvements from the previous version, Konami has to work a lot on the rights of the leagues because the leagues present at the present time do not represent any competition for the fans of the series and it is considered a good thing to contract for the rights of Euro 2020, but it is not enough to compete, also the game stages need a lot of development and it is okay The new online game, Matchday, is a good start for the series to enter the world of electronic sports. As for the acoustics, the game is far from the good performance of the commentators. Other commentators must be chosen or the enthusiasm of the current commentators should be added in a style consistent with the increased enthusiasm on the stadium.
