eFootball PES 2021 Season Update, information and conjecture
Update yes, but not a DLC
Contrary to some rumors circulated in network, eFootball PES 2021 Season Update will not be a simple PES 2020 update DLC, but a stand alone title that will also be sold in physical format. This means that to be able to play all the news of the new season it will not be enough to own PES 2020, but you will have to buy the new game. However, from what has emerged so far, we should not expect striking news in terms of content and modalities, nor any kind of distortions in terms of gameplay with respect to the latter.The game will in fact almost certainly be a title of "passage", waiting for a real change that will arrive at the end of next year on new generation consoles. Konami is in fact focused on development on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, taking advantage of an updated engine, the Unreal Engine, which should allow improvements in all areas of the game. In this sense, the developer promises more realistic models and animations of players, improved physics, photorealistic visual effects and much more. More new content for key modes like myClub and Master League. In short, the real new chapter will be eFootball PES 2022.
in all probability, then, for the year 2021 on this generation of consoles, Konami will work to chisel, taking as a basis the edition 2020, building on it and trying to cut further all aspects that needed touch-up . As expressed in the official press release from Konami, eFootball PES 2021 SEASON UPDATE PES (2021), will propose all the features of eFootball PES 2020, winner of the award for "Best Sports Game" at E3 2019, and additional in-game content. In addition to the updates of players and teams for next season, the title will of course include the exclusive mode UEFA EURO 2020 and its dedicated content, such as all of the 55 participating national and Wembley stadium, which we have already admired in PES 2020.
But really new? We begin immediately by saying that the game has lost the official license of the two football teams like Milan and Inter, which will then be present in the game with names "farlocchi" but almost certainly keeping the roster of real football players. Of new licences in respect of tournaments or new teams , however, no information: not everything will be available at launch, but you will have to wait a while to get the game up to date, perhaps after the acquisition in the running of any new club or league . Likely, then, that even in their case, the developers point simply to some sensitive improvements to features already present in the various Become a legend, Master League and myClub.
Technology and policy
Moving on to the gameplay , to make it more credible in its simulation of football and add something to the base is from the last edition, it is possible that Konami will continue to focus its attention on three aspects in particular, namely the artificial intelligence of football players in digital, the general physics and the rhythm of the more reasoned of the game. All to ensure once again be part of the collective a good application of patterns, with a series of movements without the ball useful to offer a range of options further to the bearer, without limiting excessively the incidence on the match of the greats like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.For the rest we believe that Konami will try to change something on an aesthetic level, to give just a touch of the new. To accompany the matches we expect the usual direction similar to that of a real television production, but with upgrades in terms of camera angles during the entrance of the teams, much to the joy of the players after a goal or the despair of the night, after a marking failure, and so on. From the graphic point of view, it is likely that there are new scans of the facial 3D for players (including PES 2021 also here again the solid foundation of its predecessor, that with the various updates has added hundreds), thus obtaining the features of the virtual as much as possible close to the real ones.
similarly, new licenses, official or otherwise, the mesh updated and furnished with attention to detail, especially for those teams covered in the tournaments such as the English, Spanish, Dutch, French, and Portuguese, just to mention a few. The game will, as always, the license of the AFC Champions League and, perhaps, an update of the commentary in terms of the lines of dialogue and names pronounced. We hope that enhances the emphasis known to answer in the comment of a race to be Fabio Caressa : names shouted of players who score a goal, the pace tightened the narrative of the match and tones that change depending on the pace of the real race would be the elements that certainly would return the user to the credibility to the event game.
