There’s still an arcadey feel to set pieces as well too and some of the menus lack the polish Fifa manages to achieve so effortlessly. AI can sometimes pause while the ball lazily drifts across the pitch and clearing balls from the box lacks the responsive urgency one may expect.

There are still some hiccups in this department though, especially during wayward through balls struck between two attackers. While there’s still a bit of a disparity between attackers and defenders – especially if you choose to play as a lower league team against strong opposition – the attacking play is frequently exciting and games are surprsingly balanced as the AI act reasonably intelligently across the pitch. You can change tactics on the fly with directional buttons and scoring volleys from outside the box loop over keepers with a lovely bit of finesse. Balls regularly pinball around penalty boxes during a speculative shot or pacey corners being whipped in leading to some very frantic and exciting moments. This year’s title adds the inclusion of mis-kicks and tightens up some of the physics to make for some surprisingly realistic plays.

It’s here where Pro Evolution excels and when it comes to the gameplay, there’s no other game that accurately captures the feel of playing a real football game. Having said that, eFootball PES 2020 boasts a wealth of options this year, so much so that the gap between Fifa and Pro Evo seems to be shrinking as Konami’s footballing title pulls out all the stops to deliver an authentic footballing experience. I’ll be the first to admit, I’m a big FIFA fan and have played almost every title since the early days of Fifa 96, I’ve only dabbled with Pro Evolution over the years.

Since then, FIFA has become the behemoth of football games, despite arguably coming up second best where it really matters – on the pitch. Pro Evoultion Soccer or Fifa? It’s a debate that’s raged on over the years with the early Playstation 2 days seeing Pro Evo rise to dominance before FIFA claimed the top spot.
