The harder question to answer is that pesky one about whether it’s worth buying, even at a discounted price. So we know what eFootball PES 2021 is, and we also know quite categorically what it isn’t. If that sounds meagre, remember that football games got away with releasing only these tournaments as full-priced games for years.

Devotees will find some new content hiding in those PS2 era menus though. Have you ever in your life watched a left-back dribble around in two complete circles before firing off a pass? It’s as common here as the potato-headed players without proper face scans.
While I’m on the subject of AI, I want to see a transformative step forwards next year because the old routines are really showing their age now.

Where things started to get really interesting for PES 2020 were in its data pack releases. Foregoing all that variety and presentational sparkle is the trade-off you make for better football on the turf, and the equation doesn’t change a jot with this release. “FIFA, meanwhile, not only has all the licensed kits, names and badges you could ever hope to skip past on the team select menu, but a narrative-driven Volta mode and the mighty FUT, among others.
