Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer series always seems to be sitting in the back seat. This is disappointing because there’s no other sports game that offers the technology that PES has. The series is also one of the longest-running sports series there is. PES has always seemed to be geared towards hardcore football fans and while that presence is still there with eFootball PES 2020, this looks to be the most approachable version of the game to date.
PES and FIFA were the true football rivals of gaming for two decades, but the landscape of football games has changed dramatically in recent years. GameSpew looks back on the rivalry, and where the franchises are now.
No contest since 2012, PES/Pro Evo dominates FIFA in gameplay but fails in UX/UI and licenses. Graphics are a slight nod to FiFA.
Interesting read, some stuff not factually correct though.
EA didnt lose the rights to the name FIFA. They chose not to relicense due to the extortionate fee that they were being charged.
The bottom line is true though, EA are comfortable and put what feels like little to no effort into each release. There is still so much that can be done with this game and yet, we see so little.
After its official launch, FIFA 20 took very little time to get on the first place both in digital and retail salesl. Pro Evolution Soccer 2020 defenders were unable to stop the superior enemy strikers.
Experience the most realistic and authentic football game with eFootball PES 2020.
