eFootball (All Platforms)

[Kimi85]

I'll call my lawyer to face Konami in a court

 

[guorfan]

Also, Konami no longer has the license of Serie A Tim? Is that right??

Yep

 

[The Moroccan]

I'm still thinking: tonight they will announce PES 2022 and this eFootball is just the spin-off of the PES series

In my opinion, I don't think so. They have thrown their PES-called twitter account into the bin. But I hope you're right

Didn't Konami say the delay was so that they could build a game designed for next-gen?

I had to do some digging, to make sure I wasn't going mad.

The PES 2021 "season update" was announced with a statement that said:

"Konami is currently 'hard at work' on a next-gen PES game that will take the franchise 'to a whole new level' with more realistic player models, animations, enhanced physics, photorealistic visuals, and more."

See this article from Gamesradar, for example.

This one from Eurogamer says it was "to focus on a full next-gen version due next year".

Sometimes we kick Konami when they're down, and Evo-Web has a reputation of being "the place people go to hate PES".

But I mean... Even for Konami... That's a pretty low blow, isn't it? "Buy our game so we can work on a truly next-gen verhahahaha, sorry, version."

It was an outright lie..........

 

[CW]

We had a good run though, right?

 

[jonneymendoza]

That was laughably bad. Where do you even begin to start?

I'd like to say it's been an enjoyable ride, but if we're being honest there hasn't been a decent PES since 2013. Absolute shambles of an IP that needs to be retired.

And this game only has 9 teams

 

[lando]

Yep

It's not even sure there will be any licensed leagues at all. Probably just a few more licensed Teams... or Team-Packs...

 

[jonneymendoza]

We need another studio to make a football game.

 

[robbieryan]

Really sad. RIP PES. Don't have much else to say right now

 

[Andy_1984]

Although im not a prolific poster 18 years has been a long time. Been a great read over the years but to be honest from pes 5 - 6 its been all downhill. Cant fault the passion of the guys on here though and hope the forum can get something new and exciting to focus on in the football gaming world. Sadly it wont be from konami.

We may delude ourselves as much as we want, but no-one (neither EA, nor Konami) cares about offline playing. EA can at least afford to PRETEND to "care" by rehashing ever so slightly turd-polished career mode on a yearly basis for "offliners", since FUT brings so much $$$

Such a sad day indeed

And did they actually lie in all the vagueness?

These are "whole new levels" ... just not the ones we dinosaurs would like

The thing with 'a whole new level'.... They kind of delivered ....

We used to call it Pro Soccer here in my neighborhood.

"Hey dude, let's play some Pro Soccer - Alright!”

Good memories.

RIP WE/PES

 

[slamsoze]

Same here mate, could've just bought a Nokia 3310 instead...

Or a Smart Watch?

 

[Kimi85]

He was right, but on the wrong side

 

[LucasBR]

I'll turn on my PS2 today and play a couple of matches of PES6, this is the best way to say goodbye, playing the best version ever.

 

[Tamer]

PES 5, PES 6, PES 2011 and 2014...Good memories. F*** you Konami!
It is time to crowdfund a football game.

Who’s gunna just switch to fifa or just bin the whole idea of playing a football game now?

Lol, this is really the Article right now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_Evolution_Soccer

 

[TjaardA]

RIP PES 😥

 

[xPJRx]

Lol, this is really the Article right now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_Evolution_Soccer

I know, I edited the Wiki page.

 

[LucasBR]

Who’s gunna just switch to fifa or just bin the whole idea of playing a football game now?

I can't. First of all because it's a EA game and second because I want to play a true footy game, not that shite fifa street-like they like to call football. I'll stick to Football Manager and NBA 2K.

 

[Kimi85]

We can do a class action against Konami

 

[Pales]

Adam Bhatti is so out of touch with the community it is unbelievable. I have always had a dislike to him, ever since he hyped up the revolutionary UI - which just turned out to be exactly the same but with circular corners.

 

[ThomasGOAL]

Free to play (AKA PES Lite) ok, but now show the paid next-gen version like the teaser from last year

Spoiler

 

[TroyDeeneyScoredAPenal!]

to the guy who promised the PC would get the next-gen version of PES. As it's going to have to work on mobiles, it'll probably work on a £150 laptop.

It will probably run on a Pentium 3 and Windows 98

I think by next-gen, they meant a game targeted at the next generation of children.
