Ive been a huge critic and boycotter of eFootball since its arrival, and still consider pes 2021 (together with all its modded glory) to be superior in pretty much ever way. However, after installing the latest efootball game last week (mainly because i wanted to see how good it felt with my new gaming pc cpu7800x3d + gpu7900xtx combo) and adding Endo's new graphics+turf mods.. wow.. i actually enjoyed it. It actually felt refreshing gameplay wise (i play full manual), and the one thing it has over pes2021 is that its noticeably smoother.. less robotic in terms of animations and the transitions involved. Endo's mods though, wow... check them out, as they really enhance things visually.
As mentioned, its very bare bones though... modes, net physics.. and just wished they had the manual aiming arrow to help with shooting as with PES 2021.
But it does actually play well, and the animations (particularly running) and smoothness of transitions are better than any other current football game. And as in pes2021, passing the ball around manually feels awesome!!! Ball physics aren't as advanced as pes2021, but much better than i last remembered (since playing efootball 2022 last year) and i saw quite a bit of variety in shots on goal, and deflections etc.
Anyways, may post a video here and there to show off how this game looks with additional visual enhancing mods. Certainly makes a difference to the enjoyment of this game.
