eFootball (All Platforms)

[Energia]

Awkward movements in efootball happen when you're trying to move unnaturally and it rightly feels clunky.

the real thing is that are limitation of the animations engine. A free engine chosen for cellular phones games and easy cross-platform and never optimized for a soccer game on platform like PC and PS5

Unreal Engine 4 was first used in a game in 2014, just like the Fox Engine in PES, however, the Fox Engine was developed with investment from Konami, which sought to adapt it as best as possible over the years to its football game, whereas Unreal Engine has always been a free, generic engine, so there was no specialised adaptation for eFootball once Konami took it on for its game to focus on a mobile game where 80 per cent of users are

I just don't agree that they are bad. Of course presentation as a whole is awful, lod is terrible and matchday presentation generally is really bad. But I don't think the animations or movements on their own are bad at all and I think they're both FAR better than FC. That may be subjective but I think FC moves in such an unrealistic way, animations contorting/breaking/cutting short to match input...I don't value that in a game at all.

If I play a pass into a player and have considered the pressure of the defender or played it too hard and the touch might be a bit heavy, I don't want the game to bail be out by making a totally unrealistic movement/animation. I should be punished.

To be honest, I never even consider FC – it’s always been so far removed from the world of PES... I’m comparing it to PES 2021 on PC, and I can tell you that eFootball is rubbish... Don’t even mention FC to me, because it’s never been a point of comparison for me.

I get that for console players, the original gameplay in PES 2021 (without any gameplays mods) wasn’t so great, but I can’t say that eFootball is a good game, (when I’ve long been used to a better game); efootball with its stilted movements that have nothing to do with whatever excuses you come up with to justify them, comparing a load of rubbish to the other game of FC, which has always been even worse rubbish...

Does offline efootball gameplay better than FC26?!? ... of sure! After all It's PES 2021 that has been scaled back to make it suitable for mobile devices and for another engine that was free and easily adaptable for easy crossplatform and competitive online gameplay, but I really don't think all this praise for eFootball is appropriate... That engine and/or the animations used with it – is still stuck in 2014 when it comes to optimisations for a football game.


Koinami has simply figured out how to make a fortune with next to no investment, having effectively gutted and re used (baddly) what was once PES 2021

To everyone praising eFootball Kick-Off here: can you tell me exactly why? From the videos, it just looks like the eFootball we already know, but with an offline mode reminiscent of FIFA Street—nothing more. Offline content is always good, of course, but that’s really not much, if you ask me.
The core issues with eFootball gameplay—such as ball physics, player movement, etc.—the abysmal graphics, and the atrocious menu.
But perhaps I'm overlooking something.

You’re not.

I’m saying this with full respect to all those who are singing its praises, but after having the opportunity to spend an afternoon with it at a friends house, I really don’t understand the hype.

It’s not bad at all, and as someone here who has spoken positively about efootball (especially in exhibition mode) with the current gen consoles, this is nothing special.

The offline focus and presentation is nice, and its plays well, but certainly not to the degree I’m seeing people talk about here and online.

It shows how starved people are for offline football content, but this isn’t it. And I wouldn’t encourage anyone to buy a Switch 2 for it.
