Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest. It’s as frustrating as watching Ashley Young dive about like he was auditioning for a role in The Swan Princess.
For some reason, every time you try and sign a player through an agent menu in M圜lub mode, it forces you to look at the potential transfers you could sign before bumping you back a screen, whereby you have to push the deal through again. It doesn’t help that the menus bring quirks that don't just hinder, but hurt the user experience. Yes, the songs that play in the background are now a little less ear-offending than before, yet place PES next to FIFA 20’s predictably slick, Sky Sports-aping presentation and this really is a ‘Champions League vs Johnstone Paint Trophy’ scenario. Even after a facelift, the menus are pretty bad a forlorn love letter to an era of awful PS2 menu music and cluttered formation screens. If you put a lot of stock in an alluring user experience, you’ll probably have a few gripes with PES 2020 (which I refuse to stop calling it, Konami).
