With the adjustment, the game is expected to “revolutionize eFootball in a new decade of industry-leading football simulation, and offer the sport to a global audience.”

New features: Master League, Matchday, and more

PES 2020 avouches a set of revolutionary changes in the all-time favorite mode of the game Master League. For years, Master League appears as the exclusive career mode maintained by PES, which allows players to constitute and organize their own teams in order to become the strongest squad at the end of the league.

In this new version, PES provides users with a more powerful interactive dialogue, giving them full controls over story progression. As said, players have the ability to pick out responses matching with their personality which enables them to drive progression and create a unique Master League story.

There is also a new algorithm applied to the transfer market. Clearly, Konami is making an effort to improve users’ experiences by making elements like salaries or fees “in close alignment with reality.”

Besides these updates, PES 2020 will introduce a brand-new mode called Match day. The mode detaches players from spectator stands and puts them onto the pitch. As with Matchday, players choose to be part of one among two different sides, unleashing placed pass and show-stopping goal to collect more points.
