eFootball (All Platforms)

Ah, the research institute finally paying dividends then.

Lovely, lovely Denuvo, "for the fans, by the fans," as it's known in the community. It's not like it's the scourge of PC gamers everywhere, taking up unnecessary resources, making games play worse, and having alarming access to the system kernel or anything.

Why would they do that? It's a free to play game after all.
I really can't see a reason, unless they are doing it to try and "protect" possible paid for modes that will be, eventually, released.

If they were doing it just to prevent modding, it'd just be a suicide.

You know i used to think that way, yet here we are. Just look at the recent success of the last 2 efootball. Both has been profitable eventhough with broken performance, very limited features & game mode, etc.

I think it should be noted as positive that Konami actually tries to do something against cheaters. They could have just said: "Fuck pc gamers, there is only 10k people playing on PC". Instead they bought Denuvo anti-cheat.

Yes it truly shows how much they care 🥰 /s

Also what would show they care: making a fully featured and decent computer game and selling it to longtime fans instead of trying to get people hooked on gambling in a bare-bones bug-ridden pile of wank.
 
Guys i have a question..

If KONAMI decides to change its efootball 2023 (their engine, the whole game as it is) and replace it with PES 2021 (engine, graphics, gameplay etc) with the name efootball 2024, with all of efootball's modes you will be happy?

Net result is You would still have less game and content than actual PES 2021, infested with in app purchases and spin the wheel to win fuckery .

Nah, I'm still out.

The actual game is better than 2021 in a lot of ways, It just needs to feel like a full package. 2 years of a skeleton game is just ridiculous now.

I've been waiting for a next-gen football game since the last generation of consoles.

Would I be happy playing the same game I've already played and hated because of how Game Boy basic the AI was? Let me be frank. Fuck. That.

The computing power exists to make the most organic football game imaginable. Players behaving like their real counterparts, every touch unique and realistic, the ball entirely free, every match different from the last, the AI providing totally different experiences from scrappy crappy lower-league football to slow, tactical 0-0s, to high-scoring free-flowing games, and everything in between.

Not one tempo for all games, not a bare-bones AI that only knows one way to attack, not a set of animations that have such long start/stop times that a defender looks like a Toyota Yaris throwing the handbrake on and taking ten seconds to stop skidding.

I bought a PS5 purely out of excitement for what 2020-2030's football games would be like with the power of next-gen consoles.

If PES 2021 is as good as it gets (which is a PS4 game), I might as well throw it off a bridge right now.

The problem is, PES 2021 and the previous PES games, had intentional or designer's-choise flaws, that were not fixed intentionally.

The L-Stick movement and analogue Sprint with R2 is the biggest proofs, as this type of movement did existed in PES 2018 Online Beta.

They were making PES with the rigid and unresponsive dribbling for 3 years in a row, only to re-use it in the new eFutebol mobile gatcha f2p-freemium app.

On top of that, i recall myself comimg in the internet communities every season after 2018 and calling PES movement rigid and totally unresponsive, only to be constantly bashed, that the new PES game, 2019/2020/2021 is fluid as butter.

And only after the eFutebol launch, some "people" realising that PES 2021 was more unresponsive and locled to the animations, than needed.

For me it's still, and possibly always be a big NO, cause KONAMi had all the chances to present the good features of eFutebol gameplay (as few as they are) in the previous titles, before they pulled the plug, but never did.

In the end, it's not that eFutebol uses some new revolutionary, nextgen technology. It uses recycled technologies that could be used years before.

Did anyone already mention that they changed the producer in July 2023? Kimura is gone and now there is a new producer (Igarashi?).
Rumor has it, he is leading big changes for eFootball 2024.

Kimura was doing PES since PES 2007, starting as Game Designer and Programmer and then since PES 2016 Assistant Producer and then finally since PES 2020 Producer. Him being replaced is huge.

Igarashi quote: "Compared to our competitors, we offer high quality for free. We hope to broaden our horizons and convey this value to our audience."

Comment from Japanese eSport player: "I've known this producer for about 5-6 years. Especially from the time of "Winning Eleven", he probably wasn't there towards the end. But when "Winning Eleven" was heavily into e-sports, around 2017 or 2018, he was there. We even talked about Argentina and such."

Thats huge.. if thats correct. I do remember reading this somewhere. The last 2-3 years have been a disaster in terms of direction, ever since covid really... so a big change at the helm is a start. Not sure how the hierarchical structure works with Konami and EFootball, but here's hoping its any change like this has some positive impact. Ive heard quite a few now on twitter saying eF24 is a good leap forward in terms of animations and gameplay.. fingers crossed!! Not long now. Speaking of which... is release still set for the 4th Sept???

Renan Galvani knows all about it, but he never posted it, the kind of man who gets all the information. 😂

edit: I think it's very positive news that they changed mainly because of the lack of efootball

could be a game-changer, Kimura had the completely wrong vision for that series...

From this article it was mentioned Makoto Igarashi as efootball 2024 publisher. I dont know if it is lost in translation or they actually mean producer or they both mean the same. (Penerbit=publisher)

But never heard the name before. So dont quote me on that.
https://sukanz.com/202325829/

Edit: just googled 'penerbit' it means both publisher and producer. So he might be the new producer.
Man english is confusing

Renan blocked me when he wrote that Kimura was not a producer of efootball. The man is still lying, because we all know he was a producer.

:LMAO:
 
Fox Engine is, in my opinion, ultimately, to sum up, a failed attempt. Honestly, it was more fun to watch than to play. Of course, there were also good things, but I will not miss this engine. First of all, games on this engine generally had some problem with long shots... Too weak, too inaccurate, too often defended by the goalkeeper effortlessly.

I'm enjoying eFootball right now, the only thing missing is the damn offline modes.
