With last year’s name change to eFootball PES, Konami embraced online like never before – so having a stable net-based experience is paramount to the series’ success going forward. Similarly, a patient player can shut down lesser skilled opponents so park-the-bus Mourinho enthusiasts are catered for too. Defenders of the turfĭefending is more risk/reward, with space easily exploited and you can easily leak goals if you don’t concentrate against a skilled opponent. Direct, quick passing counter attacks are still rewarded, but the option for long ball football is also more prominent. Skilful players can cause havoc on the wings and in tight areas. In fact, even though dribbling has just been slightly tweaked, it makes for a marked difference. There’s a wider variety of shots and saves, and wing play makes a return with a buff to dribbling.
PES 2021’s handful-or-so small changes add up a more complete experience. In PES 2021, the menus, player screens, team introductions, presentation and modes are all identical to PES 2020 apart from a slight colour change and the addition of a new soundtrack. All of these changes freshened up the look of the game dramatically and it was easy to spot the advancements from PES 2019 to PES 2020. PES 2020 introduced some bold tweaks such as a new camera angle, unique dribbling mechanics and an overhauled interactive Master League experience. Similar to a remaster of a classic title, sometimes it’s difficult to highlight non-visual changes or big mode expansions. It’s challenging to review a game that feels overly familiar. But new on-pitch refinements and added m圜lub content make PES 2021 a worthy entry in the long-running football game franchise and an excellent entry point for new fans – especially at the special ‘anniversary price’ of £25. With the rosters almost up to date (just waiting on a few last minute loan moves due to the late transfer window) and Option Files not really impacted, those of us who have waited patiently to start a Master League can now dive right in and experience the best gameplay PES has had to offer on this current generation of consoles.Yes, there are still areas that need to be improved, and the lack of a new mode might hurt the longevity of this year's edition. With PES, Konami is infamous for the latter, but fortunately Data Pack 2 turned a surprisingly good PES release into an even better game. Those of us who remember the days of “you get what you get” seem like dinosaurs now as we rely heavily on patches to fix issues - while hopefully not breaking things that worked fine before. We’re at a point now where video games are constantly being tweaked post-release.
In the clip above, the AI is set to “Front Line Pressure” and that equates to a high press but it’s noticeable post-Data Pack 2 how this defensive instruction seems to get the AI players to pressure - not only when the ball is in front of them - but also when they’ve been passed by. The ball into him is a poor one and is cut out by one of my defenders, but as soon as I pass it the AI shuts off my forward options and my delay on the sticks give the intended target a few extra seconds to catch up and steal the ball. Notice how in this clip the intended recipient doesn’t give up.
