If you want to know more about eFootball PES 2021: Season Update, you can simply read our eFootball PES 2020 review as it is almost identical in every way. In fairness to Konami, he has been unusually outspoken about the nature of this year’s soccer simulation, pointing out at virtually every opportunity that the title has been touched less than a Liverpool player seeking a penalty.
That said, for our money, this is the pinnacle of PlayStation 4 football, unless the anticipated FIFA 21 can pull a miracle out of one of their pricey Ultimate Team bundles. Matches flow with the kind of sharpness and fluidity that the EA Sports option struggles with, and it’s all backed up by great ball physics and animations. The old-fashioned commentary style greatly reduces presentation, but players generally look like their real-world counterparts, even if you will need to download files to put many of them in the correct kits.
The general lack of licenses is what makes this roster update strange – player data has been revised to reflect real-world stats, but without the proper uniforms, you have to question the purpose of this pack. The series’ Ultimate Team alternative, My Club, does its best, but ultimately falls short due to the fact that you can’t scour the auction house for tough League 2 defenders, and campaign modes like Master League and Become a Legend also suffer for similar reasons.
And yet, to borrow the brand’s catchphrase, when you feel like the field is yours, this is one of the most engaging sports games available on Sony’s system. Konami is taking a year off because it knows it has a special foundation here and wants to make sure it makes an effective transition to PlayStation 5; we can respect that. But with hardly any changes and the aforementioned licensing shortcomings, we recommend that you pick up last year’s game for a couple of pounds.
