A lot of the features made an appearance in the trailer. Take a look if you haven’t already! The developer and their partnership with Barcelona continues thanks to the renewal of the contracts. Lionel Messi is the cover star as mentioned earlier and Andres Iniesta is the gameplay consultant. In the master league, you will be able to catch a glimpse of the former stars who were also a part of this team in the past – Diego Maradona and Johan Cruyff are featured.

Gameplay

Let’s take a look at the most important section which interests everyone the most! The first feel of the game looks good and promising. The players now feature the latest fashion trends – the designs are pretty cool! PES has focused on the authenticity of the stars and has tried their best in keeping them real. Many new techniques have been mastered in the game as well to ensure the reality. For example, the dribbling technique “finesse” is something to look out for. It looks like the developers have worked on the unique style that Ronaldinho uses in his games.

Multiple sets of animations have been added that have been seen on live TV and the famous trademark celebration style by the players has also been adopted. Physics has been heavily incorporated in the game. The ball a bit heavier and the air movements more natural when compared in the previous versions of the games. The other noticeable features that have been brushed upon are the first touch mechanics. The trapping mechanics have been upgraded as well. There numerous new ways to defend the ball and we have seen the inclusion of the intentional foul in quite a unique way.

Customizations

The Master League is something that you have a play. Instead of the story being controlled by the game, there is a new interactive dialogue system that puts you in the place of the actual master of the game. Now, you need to control your own personal story to success. The looks of your manager in the Master League can be customized with the same traits that are found in real-life managers. In addition, the dialogue system adds more spice to the game when it comes to contract negotiations and every interaction, making it unique for every player. Besides this, you will also be able to create logos for a team that you manage or select from existing ones.

Conclusion – PES 2020 Release

The PES 2020 release is sure to be a big hit. With PES improving in several areas, the game is definitely worth a try. The standard edition of the game costs close to $35 and the legendary version is priced a bit over $50. However, it is well worth the money. The manager version of the game comes really close to real-life scenarios and the dialogue systems make the game even more interesting. The physics that has been used in the mechanics of the game are something that needs to be appreciated.

We think that the developers could have concentrated a bit more on the different types of modes that are available in the game to make it more engaging.
