5 Problems That RUIN PES 21 Gameplay (And Why We Still Play It…)

Need PES21? I used this store:

its more fun an superior than pes 2013.

What difficulty you play on?

I hate this game
I fuckin hate it
THIS JUST HAPPENED TO ME TODAY AND NOW
I played JUV AGAINST PSG THEY BEAT ME 0-2
RMD AGAINST PSG THEY BEAT ME 0-1
FCB AGAINST PSG THEY BEAT ME 0-2 AT FUCKIN 6TH MINUTES.
NOW I CHOSE PSG AGAINST JUVENTUS.
AND GUESS WHAT
THEY FUCKIN BEAT ME 0-2 FIRST HALF
I WAS SO WRONG DEFENDING THIS GAME ALL MY LIFE
THIS GAME IS TRASH ASF

Complete agreement. I'll add one more...the collision/foul system is a mess. I don't think I ever got a penalty. 16-19 were comfortably superior games.

Catch up bug ....what's the point of having speedy players if a 70 catches a 95 every fricking time ...the collisions ...the script ...I'm done with this game ...

I love the game, but they should add more clothes movement and hair movement. Also on-feild managers

The only huge issue i see is the repititive master league and BAL the regens could regenerate in different faces and names and in random teams it could be fun

I think another remarkable issue is that player colissions are horrible, I played a lot of fifas and pes and i think gameplay-wise pes 2021 is the best simulation football of all time alone with pes 2017, but the colission system of pes 2021 is flawed asf, when u collide with a player that has the ball its good, but if you collide with a player that is just there (imagine u running towards the player with the ball and u bump with another player) they just move aside without any animation. literally SLIDE to a side and keep running like if you just moved a 3d object in blender, it kills the immersion, also with the referees, they are like static objects that when u bump them they just slide to a side without any colliding animation, again like moving a 3d object, I have hopes that might be solvable because the code is there, it happens when one player has the ball, but with Konami hardwiring most of the code its difficult to have hope. PES animations are a lot stiffer than FIFA's most of the time, despite gameplay being 100 times better (Penalty animations of the goalkeeper, dribbiling, the colissions as I said, etc are YEARS behind fifa)

i watched about 8 minute, its feels like an hourrr.........

I have a question about local multiplayer why is the player one team always superior to player 2?

Another thing that bothers me is the difference between defender and winger pace, even prime mbappe would get destroyed by random 50 rated defender. I know there are way around that to take over the defender and gain space but it just feels artificial when you're playing PES like you'd play real football. And finally I really dislike how static players are when you pass the ball, they're just land posts waiting for the ball to arrive and sometimes just look at it going past them if the ball isn"t going straight perfectly to their feet.

you struggle so much with english... it gets me nervous...

Why is nobody mentioning the goalkeepers? Nobody has ever scored a long shot in this game, and yet, nobody talks about it.
The dribbling is kinda non-existant if you're not spamming double touch. The AI can shield your entire team and turn around and score. The referee/tackling is broken for the player. The finesse shot is completely useless. The AI can only score cheat goals. It's impossible to score when the game goes Athletico madrid mode.
This game is sooo rigid.

idk if im just bad at the game but the dribbling man i dont think its the dribbling its self but it feels like the ai defenders know where im going before i go also the touches are trash which also make dribbling bad no matter the rating and defenders could be behind me and they just body me off the ball even if i have 90 balance and physical strength.and the skills omds it takes so much effor to do one ski and its always slow as hell and never works and dont get me started on the fouls

My biggest problem of PES 2021.

Match pace: Sure, PES 2021 is the slowest football game out there. But there's a problem, football is sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and when it is slow is because of positioning of the players, how the opponent defends, and how the game changes pace depending on the players decision. PES feels slow in terms of animations, but the pace feels RUSHED. This is... Players either don't press, or press running. There's lack of positioning, both defending and attacking, and most of times, the matches tend to be very one-sided because AI tends to rush you, and force you to play forward. Either you play forward, or you don't do shit. Your players almost don't offer support runs, nor complex runs around your ball carrier offering a short passing option.

And while that's bad, on the other side is also good. Cause that's another of the problems PES 2021 has. Short passing:

Passing: See, very close passing option tends to not work properly on manual, and bug itself a lot, sometimes passing in another direction. In general, PES wants you to play the ball to the space, the open man. Sadly, football is played in many ways, and being very close to your teammates is one of them. Players lack variety in their runs, and that's quite a problem. You won't see close support passes or runs by your side, like that legendary assist from Busquets to Messi against Madrid where all he does is just tipping the ball. Hell nah, in PES all players feel robotic. Which takes me to the third problem.

Robotic feel both in tactics as in animations: Now, before you say anything... Yes, I know PES has great animations compared to last FIFA. But it's because it has fewer animations. The blending is too simple, often leading to feeling the player robotic and that slow feeling where it's difficult to do several skills in a string. And thought that's not common, it is still a thing that happens in football. Thing is, sometimes dribbling feels too heavy. And while I appreciate that with players that are not too good, with players like Messi, I want to be able to do smaller turns or steps, and sadly that's not always possible. Now, don't get me wrong, skill system in PES is WONDERFUL, like miles ahead of FIFA, the use of R-Stick is way more logical and satisfactory, but still, sometimes some turns feel a bit limited because of the animations. But tbh, you don't notice this too much because if there's something worse than dribbling and attacking in the game, is defending.

Defence: This is where the things start to get seriously. Defenders that don't run towards their mark or even run away from them, defenders that stay unactive and don't react to a ball going close to them, and many, many other things. Now, this is not a thing we haven't experienced aswell in certain FIFA games, but in PES it hits different. In FIFA it feels like they didn't care for making it or even worse, that the game is designed to dribble around stupid, unable to react defenders. In PES it feels like... defenders are not able to react fast enough to what happens around them, like if they had some kind of reaction and coordination problem, or had ADHD. Tbh, in both games it happens a lot that defenders don't defend and some other times you get like crazy pressure, but something in between, a coordinated pressure but that you can also avoid with good timing, is not that common. If you beat a defender, also, you tend to get way too much advantage and be able to carry the ball forward without opposition. Defenders should be less lethal taking the ball away from the baller, but much more consistent into making them make mistakes, specially on difficult tasks. In PES, defending feels quite the opposite, a kind of hit or miss defence that either makes you win the ball, or completely mess the play and get scored, or at least concede a shot to the opponent. That leads to the last point.

AI: AI tends to play too direct, no matter what mod you're playing. Essentially because they would feel stupid if they didn't do so. Since defence is so much hit or miss instead of being more gradual, it's just a matter of passing forward, then dribble one defender, then pass again to the space, instead of having to circle around the game looking for an space. It's strange the match where you've got a good long posession because AI defends correctly, since the game tends to force you to play forward at some point or another, and IA does the same, so if you predict the next move... that's it, you won the match. Being unpredictable doesn't feel easy on PES, because dribble feels quite heavy, pressure feels either op, or useless if the dribble has been busted and everything in general feels like hit or miss, and there's no middle outcomes. And that's what makes the game feel like match tempo is rushed. AI forces you to rush it, and it's worth it to rush it, since there's no point into waiting the correct moment, since the correct moment is always as soon as you can.

This for me are the biggest problems of PES 2021. I'd need to see more physicality in a proper maner, more reactive yet less op defences, that annoy the ball carrier but not always give him an angle, and more posession play football and less end to end.

But after all, I am still dreaming.

esto de cobrar faltas recurrentes por solo meter el pie sin necesidad de barrer o lesionar al jugador en el pes 21 no sucede en el pes 17 , tu sabes como arreglar este problema amigo 😑 sera mover algun comando y sus parametros o es muy complejo , oajal se pueda solucionar seria grandioso para mi

buenas , para mi hay 2 grandes problemas en el pes 21 el primero y mas importate creo yo es la faltas recurrentes por nada , si el rival es habil con tan solo meter el pie el arbitro pita la falta no necesitas barrer al jugador esto me cabrea demasiado 😐 y lo segundo es q el jugador mas adelantado en este caso el delantero en general queda enganchado en fuera de juego en muchas jugadas bueno al menos no es tan recurrente como las faltas que se cobra eso si en mi opinion es un gran problema porque el partido no se hace fluido saludos
