The sprint button in this game should actually be called the Self Sabotage button, because any sprint you take will result in you either horribly messing up a pass or losing the ball directly to opponent 99% of the time. Last but not least you’re better off NEVER USING SPRINT. Some examples: they stop chasing the ball as soon as they’re almost there, 6 players will stare at a through ball without any of them actually going after it, defenders don’t cover their guys etc.

Players will generally forget where they are and what they’re doing. Not a single teammate will actually come forward even though my attacker is standing there with the ball, surrounded by 8 of their defenders.

You could have laser accuracy and 50% of the time the player you’re supposed to control will pass anywhere except where you’re aiming at, and yes I know manual passing is a thing. The game simply doesn’t allow your defenders to function when it matters. When the opponent decides to make a counter, you may as well put down your controller until they score. Double above if the ball is close to your own goal.

No player can take a pass normally, the ball MUST bounce all over the place, otherwise the scripted opponent has no chance to steal it back from you. The players dribble like they only just learned what a football is, regardless what team you pick. Players on your team all seem to have half their brains removed and every opposing team is secretly Barcelona in disguise. Through balls either get hit so softly the ball barely moves, or it’s shot straight into low orbit, nothing in between. I’ll give a list just to confirm what probably hundreds if not thousands of other people online have already stated about this game: To put it short, PES 2021 is a “you’re not allowed to do anything remotely resembling an actual soccer match” simulator. PES 2021 should be ashamed to even call itself a game. It’s clear to me that said friend must have never played fifa more than 1 hour since this game is very VERY obviously 10000x worse than fifa. Played the game for a good 20 hours now after a friend told me PES is “much better than fifa”.
