eFootball (All Platforms)

Real fun to play with less good teams, j-League and The two american Leagues.
Lovley pace and more fun.
My dreamteam filled with speedy superstars (played a lot in v. 091 and got free players} =Not much fun at all.
But the online works better than any previous version of pes.
Sure i meet people that humiliate me.
But at least 7/10 matches are really fun. to play
One more game is a nice feeling that have been missed for me for a long time
In my opinion every footy game had been much more fun playing average or below average teams. I very rarely touch any 4+ stars teams since PES3.
Weaker teams force you to play strategic and not rely on super players. It's so nice that this year we have J league, besides it's a fun and competitive league in real life, so much details Konami give this league, being their home country football.
 
I JUST started playing online yesterday night for the first time ever since getting the game after ~1 month of playing Legend, which is harder in a way because they have match up on the whole time and intercept all your passes. In online Divisions, I think you start in Div 9 or 10? I play FUMA of course and so far haven't played a single fuma player. Everyone is assisted. Anyway, I've won almost all my matches with a wide margin of +3 goals so far, all the way to Div 6, only losing two games in the process, one was a team with all legends and maxed out Haalands etc, of course maximum assists. But the good news is the lag, while present, is not as crippling as PES was. Not even close. The only real issue I have with lag is supercancelling. There's a small window to supercanel a pass or shot, and I always miss it when playing online. Otherwise, it's been tolerable. Actually quite fun. I paid 99 cents and have CR7, as I had no coins or anything to begin with. I feel bad about it, didn't like it, but otherwise I love the team-building and upgrading aspect of Dream Team. The rewards are ok, but I hate hate hate the fact there are no daytime games. WTH is up with that? When I had the game unlocked, that was all I played because it felt so much better. Anyway, gonna play another couple of hours tonight and see if I can fuma my way to the top 3 divisions with my 75-ish team.

I got up to div 4 playing FUMA and then stopped, no passion to play it any more. Teams stacked with legends, mugs being dickheads at every opportunity, legacy PES problems still there, and the worst thing: manual target locking utterly broken. This was on PSN, where maybe there's a higher percentage of toxic players vs PC? Certainly, it's always been regarded as a higher standard of competition, and so toxic behaviour and saltiness comes with the territory.

Comparisons with the other game are overdone, especially by PES fans, but: looking at these clips I'm reminded again of just how big PES pitches are and how completely lacking in congestion it is. It's one of the things that makes FUMA so fun normally (target locking issues on eFlopball aside) – you just have so much space to exploit. By contrast, in that other game, I'm presently losing the ball a lot—partly due to being unfamiliar with the way manual works on it, but also just because with sliders and tactical changes, I'm getting a congested midfield more often than not. (Defenders in that game also have a very high defensive radius and are insanely responsive, so you concede possession on balls that aren't perfect.)

I'm probably enjoying the (offline) experience of playing this other game less—as a matter purely of gratification—than the experience of playing PES, offline (and to a lesser extent eFootlol), because it's harder on FUMA given these conditions (and putting aside shit like the ball physics). But I'm more engaged because it feels like there's a challenge there, and a challenge that feels like a footballing one rather than a gamey one. I do wonder if I'll ever get that from PES/eFloatball again... I look at these clips and find myself immediately offput by it. Just so much space, it's really ridiculous.

You can change the time of day in the pregame settings right before you go into the team kits selection screen. I think it only applies to teams that are playing at home. If you're playing as the away side, I don't think the game gives you that option.

That's another one of my main gripes I have with the game. There is no weather at all, and game only allows for shirts to be selected. Last time I checked, trunks and socks ALSO make up your team's kits, not just the shirts.

All these months, Coinami still can't even add some weather conditions. Pathetic.

Woah. Seriously? I can choose time of day for home games in Dream Team? LOVELY. Will give it a try.

And yes, but honestly, over the past 6 months they had way bigger priorities than weather conditions so I'll take any playable game over an unplayable game with good weather options.

Hey everyone,

So yesterday I tried to long into to play efootball league and it was stuck with the loading symbol trying to get into the efootball league. I tried reinstalling the game from steam, verifying the files and nothing. I even downloaded the game from Microsoft Store to see if that would help and it did the same thing. It worked fine two days ago. I didnt download anything weird or mods. Any idea of what it could be? Though I am able to play the AI events. It seems as though its stuck trying to load into the online screen.

No you can't I'm afraid. I want this as well so I have checked. The closest you come is that you can choose winter/summer night games. Which makes the games during summer/night SLIGHTLY brighter, especially in the south American stadiums. Not as good as daytime though.
 
See the following list of issues recently confirmed by the dev team.

・ The description texts for managers with the Coaching Affinity of "Young Players" is erroneous. This issue only occurs when the Text Language is set to "Português do Brasil (Brazilian Portuguese)".

Correct: Match Experience Points gained by players under 24 years old is increased by 100%

Erroneous: Match Experience Points gained by players 24 years old and above is increased by 100%

・ Erroneous information is displayed in [Extras] > [Help] > [General Information] > [Foil]. You cannot sign Foil players from the Special Player List

・ When using the "Receive All" function while having multiple Nominating Contracts of the same grade in the Inbox, the number of Nominating Contracts owned are reflected incorrectly in the display on the right side of the screen

This is a display-only issue, and the correct number will be displayed when the Inbox is re-opened.

・ Stunning Kicks do not work for through passes and fly-through passes if you set the Manual Pass Level to Level 4

・ Stunning Kicks do not cause the power gauge to change color if you set the Manual Pass Level to Level 4

・ Erroneous information in [Extras] > [Help] > [Command List] > [Defense] > [Goalkeeper Controls] > [Auto Positioning]

When performing the command, hold [L2] instead of [×].

・ Erroneous information in the in-match "Downward Header" command guide

The correct information is as follows:

When the ball is in the air near the goal, performing a "Stunning Shot" with a more than half-full Power Gauge will increase the likelihood of a downward header towards the goal.

・ Erroneous display of player icon backgrounds

This may occur after developing certain Standard players to maximum level.
 
I kinda enjoy the feeling, pace, animations, reactions (AI). Not really the game overall.
It miss 1 thing from PES that makes the game appart : ball physics.

Hope Seabass (as he's the one working on i suppose like forever and still on Konami) will rectify it for the next update. At least a bit as it's complicated. He already fought against FOX for having a good result, i hope that new engine is kinda easier to program.

Edit: Still a beta to me so no need to make big analysis as the game will be "Demo" in the next/some update then "Final version" were update won't be anything but some small calibration and change here and there.
 
Going through one of those moments where I think, 'I might give it another go'. Like it'll somehow be different today. Like there'll something to do. Like the pass targeting will have been fixed. A relatively modern phenomenon like with 2021 and FIFA 22, because I know there are decent football games buried in there somewhere!

So still no acknowledgement of broken target locking on manual.

Seabass has been gone a long time bro
 
Long time? He was on a Twitter pic with Adam on August last year. To show us he didn't leave.
Everyone saw it, you probably missed it mate. As people said "Bring back Seabass" lol. He answered.

If you got a more recent pic then... Okay, you're right about him quitting (but not long time ago)

Still don't understand clearly their explanation. And it's not a matter of translation.
They're still as bad about explaining for people. When you get the first time into the meny, it's a puzzle.
Took me 20-30 minute to remove the ugly circle.

My bad bro. Hope he has a positive influence going forward!
 
I think he gave up mate, and he should be considered as a fossil for the younger employee, who got no idea how the games works "today".
That's how i imagine the situation. That guy fucking deserves respect, without him : no "Evolution". We would still have average ISS from KCEO (Osaka brand).

And now he's probably just focus on his speciality : ball physics. Doing his job, and don't care for the rest...
 
I dont give a fuck. I started reporting people. I dont care if its a game design or cheating. You cant tell on PC. Konami should investigate and decide.
But when its like the 10th time where im in DIV 3, i won 6 games, draw 1 and i get 3 fucking teams with 71 teamstyle(!!!) who against my players are toddlers and all my interceptions are off, all rebounds go back to them just because they have six 94 rated players who press non stop and you just cant pull it off for 90 minutes without conceding. Thats it this was the last one. I got 18 pts and 19 is promotion and i got a fuckface like this for last. I could hold up for 75 minutes where my players became tired and literally gave up on life. Conceded 2 goals in 5 mins!!!!!! I could pull one back in the 90th but thats it. Div3 again. Fuming.

And whoever said Beckham was considered a hard worker according to sir Alex. Yeah but he is not a fusion of Gattuso and Kante. Nor should be Romario and Forlan. Lol. I know its a video game but these players are fucking OP.
 
@gabe.paul.logan That has been my problem from the start, and will continue to be unless they build an entirely new game from scratch - the fact that another person's team impacts the ability of your own.

They represent attributes by handicapping your players, preventing them from making interceptions, forcing rebounds to become blatantly direct passes to their players. That's not a football game, and IMO eFootball isn't a football game.

There are no physics involved in those moments. It's just "Player A < Player B so Player A must miscontrol the ball by kicking it 10 yards directly to Player B's feet". When, previous to that, Player A has never miscontrolled a ball.

To be fair these guys are not fuckface just felt good to vent.
But i still dont think my players became idiots bc of the opposition just 94 rated players never make mistakes and have even MUCH MUCH better response time. Last night still in this division i got someone from div 8 which is also a bullshit who had the default team. Well.....it was like playing against a 2 years old holding the controller but we know its the stats. And my players still were idiots just reacted to everything 100 times quicker. And of course the default goalie is pants letting in even a turtle in his goal.

These OP players should be better, thats okay. I would be throwing monnitors if the default team would have done this tome. So i still blame the matchmaking system at the end of the day. And yes of course you never can rule out cheating on PC.
