Every good move, attacking effort and defensive block feels rewarding, like you’ve really earned it. You won’t be able to rush and panic your way to success, and instead it sees skill generally prevail over luck and fluke. There’s a much slower overall feel to the on-pitch antics compared to FIFA, and this rewards patient build up as well as clever play. The good news is that PES 2019 is an absolute joy to play, with every touch, pass, cross and shot feeling more realistic than ever. The gameplay is the bread and butter of any game, because without that being enjoyable, the rest is just pointless.
