᯽ : “so i returned to try it again, 2 years after it's disastrous release and i have to say that most bugs are pretty much fixed, and gameplay has seen good improvements. but it lacks so much content wise, it's nothing more than a demo. even it's multiplayer is empty of anything fun. the only thing to do in the game, which is building a team, isn't an exception neither.”

• Gameplay : 7.8
~ i didn't like the gameplay at first but after playing a couple online matches it kinda grew on me, idk why exactly. probably because it's been a long while since I've played PES with someone. but it's fun, it's responsive. it doesn't always look as realistic as PES but it gives you more freedom which is nice. gameplay wise, it's in a good state, there are some aspects of it that i prefer to PES like the responsiveness of the movement and the more engaging defending. however, even in movement and defense, i don't think it's better in everyway, it still needs alot of improvements.
but i do think it can have more potential than PES.
⋆ Ball Physics : 8.5
𐄁 Tactics : 5.7
⋆ Movement : 8.4
~ i really like the little touches they take, gives you alot more control. i also like that it's got 3 stages of pace rather than just 2.
𐄁 Responsiveness : 8.1
~ it's somehow both very responsive and very unresponsive.
𐄁 AI : 7.7
~ the ai assist is too inconsistent at defending.
player switching is also not great and players ignore the ball all the time. it gets pretty annoying.
the ai opponent tho, is very very smart. and unlike in pes, it's very unpredictable. for now at least.
𐄁 Skill Range : medium floor - high ceiling
• Content : 0.9
~ literally nothing to do.
𐄁 Replayability : 6.8
𐄁 Customization : 1.4
• Visuals : 3.4
~ not too terrible when in replay, but my god during gameplay it's still so atrociously ugly.
𐄁 Lighting : 2.3
𐄁 Textures : 6.2
𐄁 Stadiums : 6.9
• Movement Animations : 8.4
𐄁 Cutscene Animations : 6.7
• SoundTrack : 5.7
• Sound Design : 7.2
• Commentary : 6.4
~ exact same repetitive thing we've had for years.
• Atmosphere : 4.0
• Multiplayer : 2.2
~ it lacks content. it doesn't excite me to want to play it at all. it's very empty, very repetitive and poorly designed.
but by far it's biggest problem is it's HORRIBLE balance. the easily exploitable loopholes it's got. there are so many meta tactics and "cheat moves" that almost every, single, player online abuses, CONSTANTLY. why bother play good football when the system allows you to "cheat" so easily and get a useless win out of it. when online, 90% of the time this is not a football game anymore. the whole gameplay completely can easily fall apart.
it just drains all the fun out of the game.
𐄁 Servers : ⏚
~ there are no servers. just p2p. so you're always at the mercy of your opponent's connection, which is usually terrible.
and it's very inconsistent. sometimes you'll play with low latency on a 1 bar connection, sometimes a 4 bar is laggy as hell. it also takes for absolutely EVER to find an opponent. just let me search within all events at once.
and when you do find one, it errors out half the time. the chances of you getting in a decent match are less than 10%. and that's being generous.

𐄁 Do i recommend this game? it's an ok game to have around and maybe play every once in a while just to pass the time, but it's nothing more than that.
𐄁 Did it meet my expectations? gameplay was alot better than i expected, but other than that it was as terrible as i knew it was gonna be.
