eFootball PES 2020 is Konami’s soccer sim at its most deliberate. Built on the Fox Engine and refined with input from Andrs Iniesta, it rewards a patient passing game where a clean first touch, a well-weighted through ball and a sharp change of direction decide matches. It earned the E3 Best Sports Game award before it ever reached players.

Close Control Refined With Andrs Iniesta

The biggest change in PES 2020 is how players handle the ball. Konami developed the new dribbling and first-touch systems in close consultation with Iniesta. The result is a game that asks you to think about how you receive the ball, not just where you send it.

• Finesse Dribble: small, precise touches let a skilled ball carrier move the ball away from a challenge and slip past a defender. Timing and composure are rewarded over holding down sprint and hoping for the best.
• New first-touch techniques: players can cushion, redirect or knock the ball into space as it arrives, so you can see the difference between a controlled reception and a loose one on every possession.
• Finely tuned ball physics: the ball spins, bounces and slows with convincing weight. Long diagonals, low crosses and scrappy loose balls in the box behave the way they would on a real pitch.

A Completely Revamped Master League

Master League has long been the reason PES players keep one save file going for season after season, and the 2020 edition rebuilt it from the menus up.

Interactive dialogue

A new dialogue system brings conversations into your managerial career. You respond to key moments across a campaign instead of clicking past them, which gives your time in charge more personality over a long run.

Overhauled menu design

Redesigned menus make it quicker to check the squad, plan the next fixture and keep track of the season. More of your time goes into the decisions that actually shape the club.

A more realistic transfer market

Better data integration makes player values and transfer activity feel closer to the real sport. Building a title-winning squad takes planning, a sensible budget and an eye for the right signing.

Europe’s Biggest Clubs on the Pitch

PES 2020 puts you in charge of some of the biggest names in world soccer: Spanish champions FC Barcelona, global giants Manchester United, German champions FC Bayern Mnchen and Italian champions Juventus, who feature exclusively in PES. The Fox Engine gives them lifelike player models and the matchday presentation the series is known for, so a big European night looks right from kickoff to the final whistle.

Offline Football, Solo or Side by Side

Konami shut down the online services for PES 2020 in September 2021, so myClub, MATCHDAY and online matches are no longer available. The offline game still works, and t
