A few topics are not addressed, because unpleasant discussions could degenerate. These themes include things like religion, sex, politics, and soccer video games. We’ll do it anyway: FIFA 20 vs eFootball PES 2020. Which game is better? We have an opinion and we compare the two games.

There are a few things that come back every year: Easter, Christmas, Germany’s Next Topmodel and of course Fifa & Pro Evolution Soccer. The latter is an ever-changing battle for the football crown, which is probably as tight and scarce as ever. At least we think so, which is why we think a FIFA 20 vs eFootball PES 2020 comparison is necessary. So: said, done. We’re getting involved in the battle between the two digital football giants and fanning the flames where it probably wouldn’t be necessary. We examine the competitors in the categories Graphics and Presentation, Game Modes and Gameplay.

FIFA 20 vs eFootball PES 2020: Graphics, Style & Presentation

They both look good. Neither PES nor FIFA will have any problems recognizing the respective soccer professionals. We have the Frostbite in Fifa and the FOX Engine in PES to thank for these beautiful graphics . What you like better visually on the field is up to you. The two games don’t give each other that much. It is noticeable, however, that the movements in FIFA seem much faster and look more like arcade and the Pro Evolution movements are a little less fluid, but also more real. A real person doesn’t always move as ideally, fluidly and easily as a video game character.

But if we take a closer look, it becomes clear that PES 2020 has the edge when it comes to player faces . You don’t always notice it when you gamble from a bird’s eye view, but here the point still goes to Konami.

While there aren’t huge differences in the graphics on the field, there are big differences in the look elsewhere: In terms of general presentation – menus, style and the feeling of being part of a football broadcast – Fifa easily outperforms the Konami competition. Licenses also play a major role in terms of presentation and here Fifa naturally has a great advantage with the financial support of EA.

But at least: Konami has secured the licenses for Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich and Juventus . This is particularly important for Juventus, because here PES 2020 has exclusive rights and so you play in FIFA 20 with Piemonte Calcio – the other teams all have their names, jerseys and logos in FIFA – over 700 teams in 37 leagues. In PES 2020, 19 of the 24 leagues are fully licensed. In the Premier League, however, these are only Manchester United and Arsenal. Teams like Real Madrid also appear as Los Blancos. Among the major leagues, only Ligue 1 and Serie A are fully licensed in PES 2020.

When it comes to presentation, there is of course another very important factor: audio. Can PES bring something back here? Hmm… no. On the field itself, unfortunately, the commentators in FIFA and PES are annoying after hundreds of games.

Away from the field, however, no one can fool FIFA: EA hunts music and licenses almost like a music scout and we have already discovered some new favorite songs thanks to FIFA.

Based on general presentation and licenses, here we give FIFA 20 a one-goal advantage overall. But the decision was difficult. PES 2020 has clearly stepped on the gas when it comes to menus and is now graphically trumping FIFA a bit. Ultimately, the category is very broad, but in the sum of its strengths, FIFA easily wins here in the end. However, you also have to know that the missing licenses can all be downloaded in PES and so you have correct logos, jerseys and names at least afterwards.

FIFA 20 vs eFootball PES 2020: Game modes

FIFA offers a career mode, UEFA Champions League and a small game mode called Ultimate Team that attracts a few people and a bit of money. In addition, there is now a whole new street football mode in FIFA 20 with Volta .

eFootball PES 2020 counters this with the Master League and Matchday. Master League offers so much that it might as well apply to more than one game mode – really, here you get a full fledged football manager. The problem: The career mode in FIFA is also a full football manager and very, very robust. Unfortunately, there is no big advantage for PES here. However, PES 2020 has the rights to the European Championship 2020 . That’s really cool. At the same time, it’s unfortunate because there’s this one virus that has very different plans for Euro 2020. Still, what better place to replace the tournament than the game that actually has the exclusive license for it?

Anyone who likes the Volta mode or is a fan of Ultimate Team is better off with FIFA. Otherwise, PES also offers everything you need and, with the Master League, has the slightly deeper and more demanding career mode.

FIFA 20 vs eFootball PES 2020: Gameplay

The round has to be square and that should feel good. That’s what really counts: does the game play well or badly? Well, we’re definitely not going to dissuade fans from their opinion, but in our opinion , eFootball PES 2020 simply has better gameplay. point, end, over. Sure, FIFA is super fun and that’s actually essential: video games should be fun. But if you’re looking for the best digital soccer representation, there’s no getting around Konami’s PES: the animations are a lot more realistic, the ball and players have a lot more weight, and the ball physics just makes more sense in PES. Konami’s football game actually has midfield banter and it feels like you never score the same goal twice. In FIFA, on the other hand, you have the feeling that midfield is just an area that you just traverse quickly and that there is a limited number of goals that are repeated over and over again.

On the AI ​​side, both games need to go one step further, but at least you can feel it in PES 2020 if you change tactics just a little – what’s happening on the field can be significantly influenced. Too often in FIFA, most tactics and formations really feel the same. Yes, you can tell when you make big tactical changes, but that’s not a good thing – it’s just a must. Small adjustments in FIFA aren’t noticeable and don’t go nearly as deep as what’s possible in PES.

If you’re looking for the best, most realistic depiction of football, you’ve got a clear winner here. If you’re looking for a fun game with more accessibility and a lower barrier to entry, look no further than FIFA.

FIFA 20 vs eFootball PES 2020: Verdict

It’s not that difficult to decide between FIFA 20 and PES 2020 because they offer such different experiences. If you want a realistic football simulation with a higher barrier to entry and lots of technical nitpicks, get eFootball PES 2020. If you want a faster, arcade-inspired game that offers more highlights, plays faster, has more game modes and more polish, get eFootball PES 2020 FIFA 20

FIFA 22 – FUTs

What could be cooler than just relaxed gaming and doing some sofa sports on the side? In FIFA 22, the player is on the move fast, but without getting sore muscles. With the Ultimate Team Event cards, the collecting instinct is now also satisfied. However, the FUT Heroes keep creeping into my mind, so here are the best Ultimate Team Event cards that are definitely worth adding to your collection.

Heroes cards selected by EA for top qualities

Admittedly, the FUT heroes will cost quite a bit of coin, but it turns out that EA has once again brought some top-class players into the game when it comes to selection. As a collector and hunter, it’s an added attraction for FIFA gamers to now include their own favorite heroes in the portfolio and benefit from their individual skills. Both in the game and in team building, the FUTs will revolutionize the game once again.

EA SPORTS FC: FIFA GAME SERIES TO BE CONTINUED UNDER NEW NAME

Of course, the soccer simulation game series will not be discontinued completely. After FIFA 23, EA will relaunch the game under the name EA Sports FC and market it independently. Old FIFA hares should now become quite an ear, after all, the EA Sports Football Club used to be a part of the actual game for years. A lot of playing was rewarded, points could be collected and items, boosts or balls for the individual game modes could be unlocked.

In this context, there could also be a complete revolution of the classic game. There is a heated discussion in the FIFA community about whether the game, which is expected to be released in the fall of 2023, will be free-to-play. This option is said to be on the table for the game makers from EA, because: It seems that EA earns most of its money with the purchases of FIFA Points in the game mode Ultimate Team and not with the sale of the game itself.
