While the animations that power whipping the ball into the box always look great, there seems to be a weird physics quirk at play this year.
Crossing is one area in which PES 2020 is extremely consistent… but not in a good way. There are a couple of issues alongside the base level brilliance, however. Taken as a whole, the on-the-pitch experience is a step up from PES 2019, and a cut above FIFA 20 - and that’s surely the most important element for a football game. The sheer variety of goals is also ahead of its EA rival, with patient midfield tiki-taka antics as likely to result in a bulging of the net as direct wing play. Whether playing a controlled shot, a lob, a scything half volley, or even a simple 10-yard tap in, a combination of lovely, bespoke animations and enjoyable rumble feedback make every shot feel like a hair-raising event. Compare it to FIFA’s somewhat anaemic and predictable daisy-cutters and… well, there’s just no comparison to be made. And, after all that build-up play, comes the shot at goal itself. The utter joy of PES is simple and has never been more pronounced than this season’s entry: even after 40-odd hours with the game, you can still see completely unique passes and assists. Even after close to a hundred matches the bespoke twitches and constantly evolving movement of players can still surprise. Konami’s ball has always led the field when it comes to seamless animation and this year is no different. Owing in large part to PES 2020’s effortlessly believable ball physics, passing your way through the field to a goalscoring opportunity is a joy. The build-up to goals is as satisfying as any football game I can remember in recent memory. Slower and more deliberate than FIFA 20, considered, measured passing combines with crunching interceptions, creating believable ebbs and flows in play. The thing is, skipping through ugly formation screens is an easy-to-forgive, fleeting annoyance when you finally get a ball at your feet and see what a (mostly) brilliant performer PES 2020 is on the pitch.
Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest. It’s as frustrating as watching Ashley Young dive about like he was auditioning for a role in The Swan Princess. For some reason, every time you try and sign a player through an agent menu in M圜lub mode, it forces you to look at the potential transfers you could sign before bumping you back a screen, whereby you have to push the deal through again.
It doesn’t help that the menus bring quirks that don't just hinder, but hurt the user experience. Yes, the songs that play in the background are now a little less ear-offending than before, yet place PES next to FIFA 20’s predictably slick, Sky Sports-aping presentation and this really is a ‘Champions League vs Johnstone Paint Trophy’ scenario.

Even after a facelift, the menus are pretty bad a forlorn love letter to an era of awful PS2 menu music and cluttered formation screens. If you put a lot of stock in an alluring user experience, you’ll probably have a few gripes with PES 2020 (which I refuse to stop calling it, Konami).
