eFootball (All Platforms)

During PVP matches, I see an issue that's happening more often than not. It could be another iteration of lag cheating. I'm not entirely sure. When you see the efootball logo spinning during a match, the game speed moves at a super ridiculously faster rate. During this time, you have no control of your players. This lasts for about 5 second before normal speed resumes. Afterwards, your inputs are delayed, and the match becomes utterly useless. This has happened to me on multiple occasions since Thursday. I have LAN connection, so I know it's not from my end.

This alone is a good enough reason to ditch dream team altogether. Forget about poor AI and scripting. If the connection is compromised (for whatever reason), then I see no reason to play online at all. You put enough effort in building a fantasy dream team only for it to be useless whenever this issue occurs. It's bad enough that this mode has some of the worse input lag in modern gaming. What's even worse is that Coinami don't have enough motivation to fix it.

And while I appreciate those finding steam launch commands to make the game's frame rate less of a problem, why the fuck is it up to us, the player, to optimize a game with frame rate unlockers and launch commands, and not up to the devs who work for this godforsaken company to optimize this game?

Good post. Your right about the AI being confused when you pass into space, i noticed this big time even on the dreadful 0.9.1 and offline manual vs Spuerstar.

Are you on PC or PS4.

PS5 mate. I think it's probably bugged across all versions except mobile (where there's presumably no pass assist levels of any sort haha).
 
Scoring my 2nd bullshit rebound goal being 2-0 up and the dude just disconnects the match. No. Not only the match, made me disconnect from the servers. I got a new error message and every banner was grey in the main menu. I had internet. It happend right after i scored. Efootball servers reconnected in 10-15 seconds and i lost 3-0 because i abandoned the game.

The absolute state of this.

Respect.

I got to Division 4 on PS4. Won most games but had those 2650+ 100 chemistry guys tear me apart from time to time. Then a bit like you lost interest in the efootball league and now im back in division 8 or whatever.

Basically I'd rather just beat some bastard who i know I'm better than on Level 3 to see how far i can get up the divisons or just gain all the points i need for whatever free player i can earn ingame than lose to some asshole because manual gives me a disadvantage as I've accepted i have to be paitent and wait for proper lobbies so i can join a proper manual league and take the game more seriously online for an enjoyment factor. I total have up whole moral high round manual thing really dosen't mean anything in such a 'must win' 'sweaty' game mode online.

I really couldn't care less even if i get to division 1 or not. Its simply online football to pass some of the free time i get. I do look forward to a console cross play evo web manual league. That should be fun when it arrives in the year 2033

Interesting that the football has such a prominent shadow yet some of the players appear to have next to no shadow at all. It's almost like they're ghosts, which might explain why when you manually pass to them, the ball goes right by them as if they're not there.

If you mean object's shadows?
This values can be configured, very simply.

Everything is broken and annoying in V2

- ass slow passing
- random direction passing
- ultra heavy first touch in all cases
- random shooting error
- super attacker tackling
- super attacker interception
- stupid player positioning
- stupid auto runs players do
- keeper sabotaing your defence
- unable to intercept
- interceptions are perfect 1-2s with the opp

before it was only the slow balls constant the rest were meh random, its now every game every second
this game is broken in dreamteam* at the moment, change my mind

The lack of fouls can only be rectified in one way and one way only. Going back to the PES 5 way. Any contact that doesn't result in opponent winning the ball should be called foul. Any attempt from the back, much like in real life (and pes 5), should result in a foul. Its absurd that defenders nick the ball from back so easily, never the case in real life. Even the simplest of touches that feel illegal should be called foul. Then they can tone down and tweak after a season or so.

that was the case in the PES20 demo, people were crying about it, Konami removed it because of pressure, they will only attempt it again in 15 years

Don’t wanna get involved too much here… but… what sport is this?! 🤔
or asked differently, what sport have I been playing for more than 20 years?!

maybe you mean this just in relation to video games and it’s more fun. 🤷‍♂️

The issue is there was no physicality and shoulder charges in early pes games, only tackle, foul and trying to bother the other player while he is on the ball and tries to pass and shoot, so it resulted in a poor pass and shoot if you were in his ass. But nowdays if its a "better" player he simply can foul you without a foul being called. So Konami's system isnt really working. But i agree would be nice to have physicality but not one that overwrites the rules of the game either.

And I wouldn’t mind that! …through some player stats that matter in there too!
i was just a bit stunned by the words „any contact“.

Ah, Pes20 demo.. last breeze of football from Konami I felt on my happy cheeks..
Is it too soon to call it nostalgia?

Try the vanilla disc version of pes 20. It plays as a slightly quicker, slightly looser version of the demo.

It was good. Only problem was, close dribble is on the dam right stick.

I cant play vanilla Pes. Tried it before with Pes20 when it started playing like crap. Edited manually most of the team kits from all the leagues. Spent days on it. At the end I played few matches and realised it looks like shit without option files and data packs.
Anyways - sorry to disturb eFootball discussion.
Carry on! :LOL:
 
Otherwise, I didn't expect more updates in August, because they said there should be basic updates every 6 months. So it's in October and April, because it's also supposed to be the master league
 
As this topic is meant for criticism and positive feedbacks are not welcome, I’ve found an update in ef2023 that is neither good nor bad: it is now possible to use 3 digits numbers for players. You can have a player with jersey number from 1 to 999 (0 is not possible). Pretty useless but funny 🤷‍♂️

I do think it's a shame if efootball doesn't continue on with offline modes, it would be a sad ending to my favorite part of any football game, the Master League.

Playing exhibition after exhibition is meaningless to me regardless of the gameplay. Even though this might be fun for a while if I'm playing with a friend, it misses the pure heart of playing a football game for me which is: building a story, seeing a team progress. That's why I haven't even tried efootball. And I think the outrage expressed by many in the community is justified, it's not just us old-schoolers shaking our fists. ML is an integral part of PES for many of us, and not having it is a direct affront from Konami to all of us who love it, and there's plenty of us out there.

Thank goodness we have all the great PES installments to reignite our passion for offline football gaming for many, many years to come.

Peace out guys, keep it civil! :TU:

Τhis does exist in previous PES games. 2021+2020 for sure.
 
Started playing for the first time in months after not playing any football game. Don't really play online but offline the game is actually much better imo. Not perfect but the potential to play a good game of football is there. The problem modes, No ML is disappointing. Can't sit and play Exhibition games over and over.
 
I've decided to download the game. Offline games ofc, legend difficulty, level 3 (just before the manual setting). So in a few words, KONAMI has created one of the best football games gameplay wise but they won't give us any proper offline modes.
I would really love to know what they're smoking there because it must be very good. What's wrong with this company? Are they trolling us or something? I'm in my mid 40s, I have bought every single release of PES since the 90s, wtf is going on?

It's all about the money.
 
They can make a little bit of money with offline mode, but not enough even if creating a simple league mode is easier than make a winter transfers live update. the issue is that offline wins could gives some reward for online. Or it's perhaps one way to make buy offline mode to online players... The positive version for us.

If they made something offline, you can be sure that it will be an League or simple ML with pack for buying legends/that could be used for DreamTeam.

Or something like that, i mean something to buy offline for online. Or buying litterally a league to have + X% chance of getting some players from that league. No idea, it's a IF/Then. In brief there will be a link with something to buy in or to give advantage in "IF they"

Otherwhise, i like the gameplay offline. Just hate the ball physics won't repeat again myself every time.
