Konami this year took a very bold step to be counted as it decided to make PES 21 come out in the form of a paid upgrade to the current PES 20 game, a decision that could be described as bold, especially since this kind of method is completely new to players and has not happened in this annual series previously.
When I wait so desperately to lay my hands on the new part and was surprised not to see any differences here, I will feel shocked and exploited. The upgrade never contains anything new that mentions only the players ’clothes, more stadiums, and some distinctive ways to customize and control matches.
On the level of players, known personalities, the intelligence of these characters has become very bad. You will notice that the stadium is filled with approximately 21 players per match, and all of them do not have good artificial intelligence even at the most difficult degree possible inside the game, suddenly someone comes out with a certain skill to reach the goal and score goals.
Despite these negatives, i will not forget the pros, the graphics have changed and improved compared to the previous part. The player who gets used to buying the game annually will definitely notice the graphics teams, but other than that, unfortunately nothing new, in reality you are playing PES 20 but with only some improvements, and These improvements are necessary annually, such as transfers of players and their deals on the ground, as well as increasing the stadiums, improving their appearance, or even modifying the shape of the ball. As for the mechanics and physics of the style of play, I got zero improvement ..!
The game stages themselves did not change, even the shape of the main menu kept the same design with a big change in the colors, the online development is bad and it takes a very long time to find another player or players, I advise those who own the previous part to keep it instead of owning the upgrade because the experience will differ greatly from Very good to good just unfortunately.
When the player notices everything that I mentioned in the article, he will ask him the same question. Why should I pay a full price for the game that is supposed to be completely new and different from all of the above, to discover that it is an old part that I previously owned with some formal and external improvements only ..! , The upgrade price is equal to the price of the new game, while owners of the previous PES 20 part will get a discount equal to 20 percent of the upgrade price.
The graphics of the game have improved through the upgrade and the lighting has also increased, especially in the matter of light reflection, the shape of the players is more realistic, but their facial expressions are very poorly executed. Accustomed to it in the previous parts, with the useful brief, the upgrade improved very few things, focused on insignificant details, and in the interview sabotaged other things with remarkably great detail.
Finally the votes, the commentators' voices have increased and their different voices are noticeable, as well as the crowd’s voices and their reactions have become more varied in order to add excitement and enthusiasm within the matches. The sound caused by hitting the ball through shooting or passing is not logical at all.

1- The game graphics have been improved with an upgrade.
2- Light reflection becomes very noticeable.
3- The game has maintained itself through promotion and hints at the possibility of working on larger aspects within the series in the future.
NEGATIVES
1- Nothing new is mentioned in the game except for some small, sometimes insignificant details.
2- The upgrade price is high due to the new additions it offers.
3- Bad artificial intelligence.
4- Wholesale technical errors.
