This is around the time I realized what the game was doing with its passing and shooting, especially for middling players. I’d like to think this is how an elite side loses 2-0 in real life, too (although Lazio is not a garden-variety club, either).įor comparison, I picked up sentimental favorite and recently promoted Hellas Verona to see if I could get the result in their Serie A opener. Now Juve was concerned, pushing hard into my defense but similarly exposed to a counterattack - making the second goal (a simple through-ball to the center of the field) seem easy by comparison. The first fixture of my Master League career, with Serie A’s Lazio against Juventus in Italy’s Supercoppa, I managed to score around the 75th minute (which itself seemed divinely inspired, a high cross to a no-doubt-about-it header). They’re easier to break down, though, when they’re the ones feeling the pressure of a late score. One year after anchoring FIFA 19’s box cover, Cristiano Ronaldo is on a club - Juventus - that is exclusive to PES 2020, forcing EA Sports to put a ringer name on a big club for once. That in turn calls attention to the game’s stronger clubs, whose defenders can’t be broken down with simple feints. But there is enough sizzle in the right stick, contextually applied (unless the player is trained up in a specific trick using that stick) to create separation against weak defenders, too. It can in PES 2020, provided I show the game a lot of respect in how I care for my scoring opportunities and respond to the AI’s. My standard for a sports video game that isn’t my strength is whether a stripped-down, basic approach - none of the right-stick razzle dazzle of NBA 2K or NHL, in other words, just solid ball movement and pressure defense - can still deliver victory. You can skirt these expectations at lower difficulty levels, but why would you? Play FIFA if you want nine shots on target and an easy 9.0 match rating for your best player.

This plays to PES’ long-standing strength: that it’s a much more thoughtful soccer experience that rewards player spacing, deliberate passing and rock-hard focus, and informed decisions on both offense and defense. Whether I’m facing a passing target (or the goal) or how fast I am moving with the ball make both tasks a lot less certain. Then I realized that PES 2020 has subtly woven in mishits to both systems, and it’s not just a dice roll tied to a player’s attribute ratings. off about the pace of play, which slows down players somewhat but really made passing and shooting feel clumsy. But it’s also the most favorable light in which one can view eFootball PES 2020, a formidable, strong-playing rival that has thrown some sharp elbows in a licensing game dominated by the bigger publisher.ĭeep inside PES’ machinery is, once again, a stronger and more challenging game of football, though it does expect some familiarity with the franchise’s systems, or a long re-acclimatization to them (I was the latter).
