eFootball (All Platforms)

A video with gameplay here:

Dare I say looks… interesting? But after these last years, I have zero faith remaining in Konami.

Another thing I'll say on the controls and the first touches, skills etc. I think konami do a far better job providing depth without over complicating the button presses. I'm sure on EAFC you can do a lot of those things but it's always multiple button presses, holding multiple buttons to do a simple move. For me, eFootball has plenty of dribbling options, control options, skills etc but all of them are logical and can easily be used. I also love that if a pass is coming too quickly or the player has too low stats, they will fuck the touch up.

Anyway, like i said, it just makes me super frustrated because there's no depth whatsoever with the lack of offline modes.

Agree, finally someone with balls to say that the game is good instead of making poor joke + remember the glossy Messi animation from 5 years which wasn't that good in fact, and he's looking better now in both Efootball and EA FC than his not famous wax skin model.

At least the gameplay offline on Exhibition is far away from their first 1,0,0 try and the game is now solid, now if you play online against the CPU there's possibility that he may trick you if you need to loose for the sake of the game only (it doesn't always work as it's not deflecting physics like EA FC) but i don't feel at all that type of script when i play offline, exhibition so without any involvement on their slots casino games mode. That's probably why the game doesn't create some script boost, i'm pretty sure of it even in superstar.

But no edit mode : no party. No league or real offline ML mode with real teams : no party neither. That's why i'm like you, pretty frustrated as we got a more than just playable or okay game but a good game, especially the last gameplay update... That we can't do anything about it, and i don't thrust EA anymore, that sort of Fifa is not my thing at all even if it become balanced and playable. I hate the fact that there's isn't feeling : i mean i can't feel what i'm doing in opposite of PES / Older FIFA.

My heart melted on 4min 30s, seeing Adriano doing kick-ups like the edit mode animations in older PES games. My feeling was like that scene in Ratatouille when the chef critic has his first spoon of food and has the flash back 🥹

Game looks really good, but I don't have a Switch 2. I'll see how people feel about it after a month or so, and see if Konami plan to update the game to the new season when the time comes - or release a new version.
 
I’ve watched the Switch2 video above. The menus all look like they’ve been generated by AI, with no real love for football. I also can’t understand why it’s supposed to be so great just because they’ve included a few offline modes – especially when you have to pay for them.

It all feels so lacking in passion for our beloved sport.
 
The same guy who was totally off while the PS360 gen consoles where out, and didn't prepared and engine for that version.
Seabass was okay but he built PES 6 and co, so the worst PES in terms of balance.

His true skills was :i repeat: ball physics. but managing a game he wasn't ready when he should have. That's also him who turned people to play FIFA instead.
Okay he got the passion, but i think that was the case for ALL the PES creation team ;)

.... But he did 2011, with a PS2,5 Engine, even if it was too late i'm still playing that version and many plays 2013 for the same engine.
That engine we'll see on PES 2011 is what he should have done for the 2008 or mostly the 2009 version but 3 years late at the time where all was about physical engine was like 5-10 years too late. I know Japan was separated from the world but not at that point.
For his defense Konami wasn't the only jap company who get crashed on that gen : only Capcom was the ones following new PC engines and technologies.

I had discussed only about passion (the one that @VierGraustufen was currently looking for) ;) :


"According to Konami executives at the PES 2012 presentation, Takatsuka was a fan of Italian soccer and an Inter Milan supporter, and he often attended the Milan derby in person[11]. It seems he paid homage to his soccer preferences even in video games, having the stats of individual players tweaked; for example, Adriano is disproportionately strong in PES 6, and Álvaro Recoba had received similar treatment in previous games[9]."

I recently started playing this P2W pile garbage and all I can say is that the game could be so good, if it wasn't as p2w and had proper modes... but this isn't a fairy tale, KONAMI wants money, players want cards that are op so that they can ignore their lack of skill and "WIN". Its the perfect marriage.

I blame the players as much as KONAMI on this, because at the end of the day, you vote with your wallet and thats the feedback KONAMI sees, shit tons of money in their bank from ppl buying cards. This shit will never end, even more op skills will be introduced to make ppl swipe... never ending power creep.

So sad, because the gameplay isn't horrible, but the lack of modes and ability for ppl to farm coins in order to be somewhat competitive is just bad.
It takes years to get a somewhat ok team, that gets irrelevant the moment they introduced second, third boost or some other power creep gimmick.... I hate modern gaming...

Give me a game I have to pay for any time over the absolute sh*tshow we have now. If we have to pay, there might actually be something of value there.
 
Invested the 20 Euro to try the Switch 2 Kick Off efootball. It is actually nice old school fun. Basically what you get is the World Cup plus a nice solo game mode with World Tour. Yes it is not a full Master League but still a nice single player mode, where you start with the old Master League squad, try to win Mini 5 match leagues, sign players of teams you played against and invest in teams from a hall of players. Is it Master League, no. is it full old school PES no. But for 20 Euro I feel like I will get my money worth out of it and have some fun
 
I'm curious, can you play truly offline with the switch version? Like no connection at all? I'd love to know if this version is "preservable" someway.
 
World tour seems to have exactly the same features as "Champion's Road" mode on Wii. Which is more fun that ML. You have to build your stadium, pitch, training ground with the wins you got with your team.
Now i read people complaining that the game is way too easy to score. I hope for Switch owner that they're setting are in normal difficulty.

I don't and won't buy a Switch 2 so only what's in more is interesting to me, even if i got zero j it will br one day on current consoles.
 
I will get my Switch 2 on Friday. Didn't enjoy eFootball at all on PC, but tempted by the fact that the Switch version has offline modes.

@Isslander

For a really good football game, I’m happy to pay a fixed price, like we used to (Not for this bad Switch2 Version) For some older games, I’ve actually paid more than I would for a new one.
