Yes, we know, of eFootball PES 2020 a lot has been written and even more will be inked starting the day of its publication, scheduled for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One next 10 Settembre. But why not take advantage of our meeting with Konami in Cologne, during Gamescom 2019, to learn more about some of the features that will be available at launch?
Apologizing for the inevitable increase in entropy brought (also) by the writing of this article, let's start immediately by saying that eFootball PES 2020 looks truly amazing. The feedback provided in development by Andrés Iniesta, who has become PES advisor for some time, has been really fundamental for the improvement of one of the most popular football sagas ever? The answer, as always, is somewhere in between.
To begin with, as you already know, the acquisition of new, important ones licenses of some of the most famous clubs in the world represented a decisive step forward for the franchise. The acquisition, among others, ofentire Serie A roster has granted programmers the ability to reproduce on video, at least painstakingly, every detail relating to the players who are part of it. Facial animations, celebrations, even every single tattoo appears faithfully reproduced, so much so that you would want to insert your hand into the screen and feel Cristiano Ronaldo's abs to test its consistency.
Excluding our perversions, seeing the game in motion is a lot of stuff. Pad in hand, then, the exaltation for a technical sector that pushes beyond belief the now antiquated Fox Engine is flanked by natural addiction enslaved to a gameplay that, barring unlikely misfortunes of the last second, really seems to be able to push the game to new heights of libidinous pleasure.
The game possibilities are really numerous, thanks also to the introduction of new elusive maneuvers, among which finesse dribbling certainly emerges, much more precise than in the past. Unpublished feints, various improvements to the defensive phase and so on complete a playful package that is difficult to replicate elsewhere.
Who among you would like to know some additional details about the omnipresent Master League? Here you are satisfied: the developers have guaranteed the inclusion of interactive cutscenes (let's assume only at a dialogic level) as well as confirmed the inclusion of some legendary managers such as Johan Cruijff, Diego Armando Maradona and Zico.
Another juicy novelty is identified in the Match Day: every week, Konami will select the one that will be considered the most interesting match among those making up the entire world football calendar, proposing it on the virtual ground of eFootball PES 2020. Players will then be able to choose which team to support, taking part in a virtual match that will see take the field, the protagonists of this dream clash.
Subsequently, the Japanese giant will select the two players who most distinguished themselves during the weekly Match Day, inviting them to challenge each other in a clash to the last goal that will decide the definitive winner of the week. This match can be followed in live streaming by players scattered around the globe, who will thus be able to support their favorite team, receiving further rewards in game if the team initially selected to face the Match Day turns out to be the winner.
