I didn't play 2019 or 2020, was playing FIFA the past 5 years or so, took a chance on buying this "season update" (was pretty cheap, didn't even need to buy PES 2020) and I honestly haven't enjoyed a football game this much in a long time. Manual controls are a dream, the game is just the right amount of responsive without losing the weight it's supposed to have, teammate's actually provide the support you need both in defence and attack, always making runs and occupying the right places, ball physics and keepers are really good, and in certain conditions the game moves and looks like the real thing. Main gripes are with way too inconsistent referees, the lack of a "manual" ball knocking feature like FIFA's right stick, and the fact that in higher difficulty levels, there's that classic feeling that sometimes, there's nothing you can do to stop the AI from scoring, even if you do everything right, a strong forward will win all rebounds and score ludicrous goals from any position. But even that, might just be all my fault.
So happy to be back "home".
EDIT: For someone who's been out of modding entirely, is there a "main patch" everyone plays on? Or are option files much more capable now? Also, is there any camera mods (I'd like to increase "angle" even further on normal gameplay cams like Wide). Thanks
