eFootball (All Platforms)

[klashman69]

We can only hope my friend - without hope, what is left?

I just hope that someone, somewhere at Konami is considering big changes. The backlash they get on Twitter every time they send a tweet sums up how the fanbase feels. They’ve got to do something, surely?!

I have a lot of hope, I always do, the lack of information and focus on offline from Konami is what gives me such big doubts.

I see stadiums like Santos, Celtic Park, Ibrox, Stadio Olimpico all added. I see Man United's new kits all added recently and when we look at the traditional PES calendar of updates it would make sense for them sometime in late August for the next season title to go 'Gold'. Many of the events seem to elude to something big being released for the new season on the 25th August. Thing is we have to be realistic and think if they have something major to release surely we would get some anticipation or news letting us know when offline content will finally arrive, the lack of proper information is nothing but disrespect and big concern.

For me its simple, there is no excuse for Konami not to release a paid DLC full of at the very least all the usual offline Leagues & Cups along with open and Co-op lobbies along with edit mode. Even if we have to wait for a proper revamped master league until later this year or even January, offline respect or nothing by the 25th of August.

The big part of how I feel now more than anything if frustration, i played a few manual 'authentic' games while it was in maintenance Wednesday night and like TMK here, the potential is there, its ready for offline, sadly tons of cheating AI going on but the core is so good,. it can only develop further offline with longer matches and more tactical depth. 'Dream team' will always be a fantasy football orientated mode, i have played so many average players who I've smashed with ease on the authentic challenges but in 'Dream Team' their overpowered gods do all the work for them.

Long may their point giveaways continue, I am only 20k points shy of getting Alexander Arnold.

I play something like 3-5 matches a week now and I usually have fun with it. Maybe it's even the best way to enjoy it, just having a bit of a nibble now and then. A more prolonged exposure through something like a Master League (Let's just accept now that they will never actually make that for eFootball) might induce boredom faster.

TAA's stunning cross should be illegal. Half the time is on a plate and guaranteed goal.

This game is full of shit

let's go and show your love for this game

Efootball 2022 Survey

Nice to see Konami can't be arsed with the rest of the US

 

[aderow]

Anyways I filled it out. In the last bit i wrote I'm unhappy with the direction of the game because despite being a team game the creative director(?) is only interested in 1v1s. It's not a fighting game, I don't want it developed like one. Football is 11v11 and I wish the direction of the game reflected that, but it doesn't.

 

[gabe.paul.logan]

FYI. Game have not changed since yesterday.
Full of cheaters and scripting.

AI offline is pretty damn god i must say but these exhibition matches are boring. We need ML.

Thats the kicker there. The game is out for 10 months now, and still only 9 trial mode clubs. Not even every partner club ffs. Offline is very solid. How difficult is it to put a wee paid DLC pack that has all the teams and options. The options are there, as we've seen them in dream team v AI matches. The teams, kits, players amd difficulites are there, we've seen in training. Why can't the bundle it all together for use in trial mode, then we can have a variety of games.

When I filled the survey, I tried to make it so offline got 4s and 3s, whereas online got 2s and 1s. That's how the game is for me. Then I concluded by telling them that I'm playing Fifa until an offline mode with all teams comes.

The worry is. I'm thinking of other ftp online games, like Fortnite (which I've never played), or Apex Legends. These games don't really have an offline mode at all. A practice arena maybe. Rocket league does have some v AI tournament thing you can do. So is vastly superior to eFootball and the only thing that gives any hope

They can put out the best offline football game ever made in a blink, but I don't think they want to lose a significant portion of online players to these offline modes, at least not before cross-platform is live. This is why offline modes have been pushed to 2023.

Even though offline is the only mode I would personally sink any money into, Konami knows that online is their money maker mode.

Same here. Anything more than 2 3 games and it gets on my nerves. But its a solid game. Just needs the chaos factor from ps2 pes back with more animations and responsiveness. Overall, good game to have a punt once or every few days.

OK there is definitely gameplay difference in 1.1.2 . The firs one that biggest I found in first 10 sec is the "Мatch-up " button, in my case L2, now is fully manual. The AI do not take control over your player which is fantastic for me! I was so piss off before that when press match up and I was losing control over my defender .
And somebody say something about dribbling.. I'm not complete sure, I play just one game but looks like they bring back some of close control, fast small touches with some players like Neymar or Messi, how they have it and its feel bit more responsive , but again I cant confirm that on 100% .

After new 1.1.4 all that is GONE... for some reason they step back to old and awful for automatic match up BS that i hate it in first place. Really disapointing... why they keep doing that ? I mean, fix something and next update they ruing it ...

" - Listen son, this vending machine gets on my nerves all the time: not responding when I press the commands, swallows my coins without receiving what I want, and its design looks actually so yellow and pink vibrant like shite !!!
- But pop, yesterday you said...
- Yeah son, this is a solid vending machine, the best ever made.
- Bu...but.... I don't understand, everything feels so confusing... why?
- Coz' I'm entitled to say so you little brat, that's why !!! Don't ask more annoying or objective questions !!!
- M'kay... "

Wait a minute, didn't call you just call juce а " son " and " little brat " ? Who the hell are you thinking? You decide to make yourself interesting and attack one of the most important people in the PES history and community! You will most likely be banned soon , I understand that you are a child, for that we are giving you a chance to apologize, it is another story whether Juce will accept it!

Nope, it wasn't that. I was making a joke on the "good one" comment by Juce, elaborating it even further with another example as a father and a child situation and the vending machine ---> eFootball. Didn't added a quotation mark to it so you get it wrong as a response directly to his comment (and I'll change the font of the text of the previos comment), I didn't called @juce a son, it wasn't related to Juce, and never was intended as that.

online game is a piece of sh.. i played with 1 league player and i won 5 do 0. This guy have a problem with internet. But when i go to 2 half it's something wrong and a message popped up that I lost because of circuses , nevermind....

He used the trainer exe to win. I am mentioning it in my review front and center. This happens when Konami uses P2P, for regions like the middle east with no local servers.

 

[Bond!JamesBond!]

How any company could release something like this is mind boggling.

Great potential offline!!!

Great AI awareness, solid base game !!! Looks like Konami surpassed any expectation implementing their own HyperMotion. Can't wait to see more...

We're approaching closer and closer to a year since this game's release and things like this are still happening.

How did you play vs national teams outside of training?

Players are broadcasting their cheating ways in the steam discussions tab on the game's store page. This has been an ongoing problem and nothing has been done about it.

looks great cant wait for master league to drop.bot meme

 

[krzysiek923]

Why modders can't add offline teams and some simple game modes? Is it really so good protected?

 

[Peter Withe]

How the hell do people keep saying this is great offline?!!!!

it’s garbage. Hot, stinky, infected garbage.

worst PES game ever, by a mile.

You get crucified here for saying anything positive, but I'll go nonetheless: Speaking in terms of on-pitch gameplay only, not graphics and not the empty modes/content demo-like status of the game:

- Because Legend AI is more fun and fair to engage with than in PES.
- Because dribbling is better than in PES.
- Because passing is better than in PES.
- Because motion matching makes interceptions and defending better than in PES.
- Because the slower pace is much better.
- Because player inertia is much better
- Referee is a little better but still a mess

That said:
- PES has much better shooting
- PES has better ball physics
- PES has better keepers
- PES has better player switching, it's a shitshow in EF:



Things that are debatable:
- Yes, PES has more tactical options, but they're a mess and IMO tactical movement in EF is better, more efficient, and just smarter, and sometimes more flexible, like being able to have only one attacking fullback. Players in EF attack empty spaces that make sense without having to ask them to, while in PES I am left furious by players not moving into spaces they should be moving into.

Many of these points I only perceived after spending a month playing EF 1.0 then shifting to PES and feeling the difference, then shifting back to EF, so YMMV.

All Teams offline:

We cant unlock modes. You cant unlock something which is not in the Game.

Using your Unlocker and it is good to test the different teams and having fun with it. Had some good interesting matches, but really the game needs a league or torunament mode. I think there is fun in the game to be had, especially since teams do feel different, but Konami needs to give us the ability to use the teams.

I haven't tried this but it beggars belief why the teams are in the build but Konami don't allow us access to use them.
