Pro Evolution Soccer 2020 is still flying the flag as the last standing competitor to EA’s giant – FIFA. The game’s first week of UK physical sales were some of its strongest in recent times, but how does this reflect on the pitch?
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.
