I decided, then, to bring on the much maligned and unloved Alexis Sanchez. Rashford’s pace is useful but, in PES 2020 at least, his close-ball control is lacking. Playing as Manchester United I was struggling to beat the backline of Arsenal in a pre-season friendly. At times you can see the evolution of last year’s engine and the influence Andreas Iniesta, who was brought in to consult on dribbling, has had on it. Last year when we reviewed PES 2019 we praised its prowess in the most important department, on the pitch. When things go right PES 2020 is a fantastic recreation of the beautiful game but when it doesn’t it gets very frustrating. On the pitch things are a bit hit and miss. This camera angle has taken some getting used to. Ultimately this might not be a big deal for you and having all the players in the right teams generally means that you hardly notice. You can still rename teams and so forth or, if you’re on a PC or PS4, download files to alter kits and team names if you really want to go the extra mile. It’s a minor change in the grand scheme of things but I’d wager makes things feel a little more real even if the logos and strips aren’t official. Chelsea, or London Blue as they were, is now Chelsea B and if you’re a Spurs fan you’re no longer London White but Tottenham WB. Thankfully, in addition to nabbing Juventus, Konami has renamed the fake teams so that they make a bit more sense. Whilst PES2020 still has plenty of fake teams, it’s exclusive licensing agreement with Italian giants Juventus has forced EA to use a completely different name, Piemonte Calcio if you’re curious, after the Piedmont region of Italy that Turin, Juventus’ home city, is located in. This wasn’t too bad if your team was officially licensed but for others playing as Manchester Red and so forth just didn’t quite hit the mark. It’s weirdly poetic when you consider that, for years, PES has been forced to use fake team names for clubs they didn’t have a licensing agreement with. Given that the former is far more entertaining I feel it’s best to start there. I don’t know whether I want to talk about Konami’s amazing licensing coup that’s given EA a bloody nose or the fact they’ve decided to slap eFootball as a prefix to get this review rolling.
