I dont know how reliable this guy is, but he claims to be an ex Konami worker.
Its from the biggest PES Forum in Germany.
Just wanted to share this with you.

His Username is "MaxwellRose77"


Translation:

They are working hard on the mobile version of eF and are currently looking for a license buyer for the console and computer segment. If they do not find one (38 million US dollars including an annual profit sharing of 8.25% of sales), Konami will - as already mentioned - stop providing "support" for consoles and computers and focus entirely on there prioraty: Concentrate on mobile phone and browser games. Konami is currently working on that. The whole gossip about "we are working hard to improve eF" is therefore not even a lie, but it is primarily intended to calm you down and if they upset the less than 1 million former PES fans worldwide on day X it doesn't matter, because than they have a decent mobile game for over 450 million mobile players at the start. That is the master plan.

I missed this originally, but have to say it has the ring of truth about it.

It could be good if the "PES" console franchise was sold to another party, but not if that was tied closely with Efootball.

Konami must be desperate for some revenue from somewhere, and I wonder if they have the reserves to see it through.

Brands are priceless assets these days, and console PES has 25 years odd of history, but Konami are doing a pretty good job of destroying it, not so much by the game being so behind schedule, but by their terrible handling of the whole situation from a PR point of view.

If I didn't know better, I'd say that Konami had been infiltrated by someone who deliberately wanted to bring the company down, and was doing a great job!

Is the " finding a new crowd" comment their Ratner moment?
 
I managed one and a half games after the patch. Still can't pass, shoot, dribble or tackle with any degree of cohesion, satisfaction or enjoyment. Great game apart from that. Fair play to those managing to enjoy it

Passing, dribbling and tackling I find "acceptable". Sometimes they feel good and work well, but still obvious room for improvement. It's the shooting that is absolutely shocking though. It may be the worst shooting on any football game I can remember playing. No power, wayward shots, no variety. How they went from PES 21 shooting to this is quite staggering.

Yeah, I mentioned a few weeks ago that I can play in Vs mode, put the second controller down and still not manage to take any good shots. Finally created a good chance against the CPU and Sané powder puffs it over the bar from 5 yards. Awful stuff

Yeah. It's not the second coming or anything, but I'm really surprised they actually did fix things. It's at least become playable for me now, but the 5 min limit is such a buzzkill.

The reason it will fail/has already failed is represented by a single moment in the 1 match I played. Chasing a loose ball near the touchline with Cavani, I pressed sprint, beat the AI player to the ball, but Cavani's inertia carried him and the ball out of play. To me, that was due to me bearing down on sprint within 3 yards of the touchline and is an intrinsic part of the game mechanics that it's up to me to learn and play with. To most others, it's broken.

Of course there are still instances of this clearly not working as intended . It gets awful in midfield with so many iceberg-like figures bouncing off each other. But as a core idea -- you can't sprint without consequences -- it's a good one and in keeping with the series' roots and traditions. Too bad she won't live.

There is no "hate" from me - sorry if my posts are coming across that way. But do you honestly think that posting screenshots of how "awful" FIFA looks, tearing it down as much as possible, then bragging that "all the haters" are "crying" now - because Konami fixed the CROWD (hardly a top priority) - isn't fanboy behaviour?

If you wanted to post something positive, this shows how many positive things there are to talk about (it's a pretty long list of fixes, including gameplay ones):

Yeah I agree with you that's why I explain my behavior on my post! Update 0.9.1 had a lot of improvements I told it on my twitter, I said people should wait for the update and full game, and boom here you go the game now is playable, but What we didn't know is Konami would cancel the full game that to me would be nice meanwhile, several times I said on my twitter "The king is back" because it's aceptable! Now we will wait for spring ville Lol

Kindly disagree. Tried it on PC this time, ouff its still a very bad game. Ball physics are horrific, player reactions are terrible. And in general the gameplay is unbalanced. Not to mention about the bugs, glitches, slow downs, lack of content. Im positive im not gonna play this because there is nothing to enjoy about it.

Matchday back for 2021, I reckon they have an update in the works while they work on efootball

I don't know what else it means, but it's at least a way of incentivizing lootbox sales on the older game in lieu of expected revenue from the 11th through lootbox sales on the new game.
 
Imagine Konami releasing Master League in time for 2021 ending as a way to refund players. They could at least make some money from that dlc...

Refunding those who bought the player pack to use in myclub with an ML mode is like cancelling ML and refunding people who bought it with myclub coins.

But anyway, they can't even release version 1.00 or their myclub mode, absolutely no one at Konami is working on ML now. I will be honestly shocked if ML is ever released again.

Do you really believe, today Friday 05/11/2021, that they could have a ML mode ready for distribution until next Spring of 2022?

Something more than assets of the bathroom of Old Trafford.?

I believe Master League and any other mode except for the new My Club, is not even a thing at the moment, except for some blueprints..
 
After update i see what they fix but the game is still pure mess, its unplayable.
Players awareness is still awful, the defending , passing, shouting and dribbling i still pain in the ass. Yes, I understand what they tried to do with this momentum-inertia and center of gravity, but these are more movements of 200 kg players from the Sunday League, overdose with beer and sausages.
No one in eF feels like a professional athlete. Every action is pure cringe.. But what can I expect from a company that doesn't know how the human eyelids work!! Yes, that why its look weird, they fuck up blinking .In eF, the lower eyelid closes when blinking. … like aliens.
 
So the modding community has been destroyed
The PR mouthpieces disgraced
The past progress of the last 2 or 3 years all reset and lost
Product credibility down the drain
No chance of making any money from the game until spring 2022
The memes
The worst steam reviewed game in history
Money spent on licenses and advertisements all lost
Shills celebrating bog standard crowd graphics and goal post resolution, Others switching to FIFA publicly
All surveys and feedback going down the toilet as expected

This is actually more fun than what we go through every year waiting to win a penalty or scripting to be removed, So long may it continue :APPLAUD:

Just to confirm, I'm playing the PS5 version btw. So I don't know how the other versions play. Oh and I don't bother with L2 anyway.

I just remembered that loading is also faster. It used to take ages going between screens.
