eFootball (All Platforms)

This game is so far gone it’s incredible….everything from 2 years ago to the cover star leaving a partner club is an utter mess…….everything in between has so far shown itself to be nothing like a next gen football game…….even the Dodo has more life than this series now.

To be fair, since the eFootball announcement they've had Messi in a non-descript 'eFootball' kit rather than a Barcelona one. It's not an issue.

Net physics are fine, but shooting animation.....uhm no.
 
To me this game is so dead that i'm already thinking in the future the moment when Konami will officially call it dead too. Also, maybe few years after its death they will revive it, this time clearly doing everything from scratch, maybe with Seabass or Masuda, that seemed like cool guys that had some ideas.

If we exclude that it is racist as hell, and when the Twitter mob finds it, they will delete it but, does that mean that ... we will have women's eFOOTBALL too?

No. It's nothing to do with eFootball, @ThomasGOAL was joking.

But between Griezmann being present during Dembele's appalling racist comments recently (that forced Konami to drop him as an "ambassador"), poster-child Messi leaving Barcelona, and now this... eFootball will only have 2-3 teams left by the time it launches...

Bad enough that they're having their own disasterclass.

That Juve tweet was un-be-lievable. It stayed up for about an hour and a half too. For a PR person at a global brand to think that isn't racist is incredible. For a PR person at a global brand to not realise that millions/billions of people would deem it racist is even more incredible!

I read it was only up for 20 mins, but 1.5 hours is mad if true! :LOL:

Think the number of people it went through as well: the player, the photographer, the social media manager. Quite possibly observed by others nearby also. No-one raised an issue, it seems. I expect they don't even see the issue.

In fact, this lamentable non-apology pretty much confirms that they don't understand what they did wrong:

I always hate when people bring up offence in these cases, which is such a red herring. The issue isn't that the Twitter account offended people (or even "may have"). It's that they sent out a racist image. Racism isn't a problem merely because it might "offend" people.

Pisstake and a shambles.
 
"We were working on a project to revamp the PES game engine in time for the release of the next generation of home consoles, such as the PlayStation 5 and XboxSeries X | S,".

"At the same time, we knew we needed to meet the needs of the market by making our games free-to-play and cross-platform, allowing players to compete and collaborate across devices.

"Following major changes in the game engine and business side of things, we're creating a cross-platform, high-impact eSports scene."

While not necessarily the biggest point of contention following last month's announcement of eFootball, eSports and a healthy competitive ecosystem is clearly a top priority for Konami.

Kimura said his goal is to make eFootball "the biggest eSports platform in the world," now that anyone can compete regardless of platform or income. Whether you interpret "eSports" as actual infrastructure, like the FIFA Global Series, or as participation in eFootball's competitive mode, it's a lofty ambition that millions of players need to achieve. Many of them need to be drawn from FIFA.

I can recall many demands made by PES players be they offline or MyClub users but what I don't remember is hearing anyone on console or PC say "I want to play against mobile players"
 
However, with its rebrand to eFootball, it looks to offer an alternative experience that is free-to-play, offers full cross-play across consoles, PC, and mobile, and has a big focus on competitive play. But was the gravitation towards a free, live service model influenced by the success of some of the biggest games in other genres, such as Call of Duty: Warzone or Apex Legends? According to eFootball’s series producer, Seitaro Kimura, “the needs of the market” were apparent.


“We were working on a project to revamp the PES game engine to coincide with the release of the next generation of home game consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S,” Kimura tells The Loadout. “At the same time, we knew that we needed to meet the needs of the market by making the game free-to-play and cross-platform, allowing players to compete and cooperate across devices.

“Following the major changes in the game engine and business aspects, we will create an impactful esports scene with cross-platform.”

Despite not necessarily being the biggest talking point following eFootball’s reveal last month, esports and a healthy competitive ecosystem are clearly top priorities for Konami.

Kimura says that now that anyone, regardless of platform or income, can compete, the goal is to make eFootball “the world’s largest esports platform”. Whether you interpret “esports” as an actual infrastructure like the FIFA Global Series, or as participation in eFootball’s competitive modes, it’s a lofty ambition that will require millions of players to achieve – many of which will have to be lured from FIFA.

Asked whether some changes – such as remapping some of the old PES controls for eFootball – were direct attempts to make the game more accessible for those used to its main rival, Kimura downplays that this is the main reason.

“I don’t mean to say that we don’t know how to control other games,” he says with a laugh, “but that is not the reason. In revamping the game engine, we focused on the most exciting part of football, the 1v1 battle. As we created the game system by deconstructing the mechanics of winning and losing in real-life 1v1 matches and the tactics used by top-level players, we had to restructure the control scheme in order for players to enjoy the evolved and realistic tactics.

“Actually, instead of having more complicated controls, the game is more intuitive and allows players to focus on matching up with their opponents, so we believe that people who have enjoyed the PES series in the past will be able to get used to it quickly and enjoy playing against each other.”

Has anyone figured out yet why Konami keep going through this Loadout website? Maybe it was just one interview and they're splicing it up for clicks. But still quite weird. Had never heard of them till the first Kimura piece they put up. Perhaps whoever manages their English-speaking media relations these days is chummy with this outlet. Strange.
 
Their goal is to make efootball the greatest e-sports game out yet every official tournament is played on PA3. The person which made that decision was thinking market but the only facet PES can be sucessful IMO is realism. Konami should push for a different direction than FIFA and market their game differently. On another topic - imagine being the person/team whom develops the FUMA physics system and have everyone and even Konami playing on the simplest physics system.... what a difficult afterthought... lots of work and 1% of the fanbase notices it.

PA3... PA1... That's not exciting.

As I understand it, the "eFootball.pro" tournament is limited to PA1. Though of course as a general trend, the esports part of PES has normally welcomed/encouraged high PA settings. I still think FUMA for pro games would back the most interesting matches that might actually be watchable. Eh.
