I dont know how reliable this guy is, but he claims to be an ex Konami worker.
Its from the biggest PES Forum in Germany.
Just wanted to share this with you.

Die arbeiten mit Hochdruck an der Mobile Version von eF und suchen derzeit einen Lizenz Abnehmer für das Konsolen und Computer Segment. Finden sie einen solchen nicht (38 Mio. U.S. Dollar inkl. einer jährlichen Gewinnbeteiligung von 8,25 % vom Umsatz), wird Konami noch in diesem Jahr - wie bereits erwähnt - den "Support" für Konsolen und Computer einstellen und sich komplett auf deren Steckenpferd: Handy- & Browsergames konzentrieren.

Daran arbeitet Konami gerade. Das ganze Gelaber von " wir arbeiten mit Hochdruck an der Verbesserung von eF" ist somit nicht einmal gelogen, soll aber in erster Linie beruhigen und wenn man den nicht einmal 1 Mio., einstigen PES-Fans weltweit, dann am Tag X vor den Kopf stoßen wird, ist es auch egal, da man bis dato ein ordentliches Mobile Game für über 450 Mio. Mobile Sp*** am Start hat. Das ist der Masterplan.

They are working hard on the mobile version of eF and are currently looking for a license buyer for the console and computer segment. If they do not find one (38 million US dollars including an annual profit sharing of 8.25% of sales), Konami will - as already mentioned - stop providing "support" for consoles and computers and focus entirely on there prioraty: Concentrate on mobile phone and browser games. Konami is currently working on that. The whole gossip about "we are working hard to improve eF" is therefore not even a lie, but it is primarily intended to calm you down and if they upset the less than 1 million former PES fans worldwide on day X it doesn't matter, because than they have a decent mobile game for over 450 million mobile players at the start. That is the master plan.

With profile picture like that it's hard to believe how reliable "this guy".

That being said it's konami we're talking about. Back then when there's rumour about PES 2022 (or eFootball 2022 now) being F2P, i laught really hard about it but here we are few months later...

Sounds like another LARP to me. Still, hardly difficult to guess that this game will end up being canned some time next year though, I could have predicted that months ago since it was clearly dead on arrival the moment NFG came out. The funny thing is I don't think even the mobile plebs would accept this joke of a release, probably why they are ignoring all the questions about it. As naf as the mobile version of PES looks at least it has a bit of pick up and play factor about it and is not exactly horrendous by mobile sports game standards, plus as I pointed out once before it actually has more advanced ball physics than this meme generator.

This seems to happen with many sports games, the people who enjoy a particular game lauding it as a realistic simulation when it's really not. It's like people don't want to admit that they enjoy something which isn't a good reflection of whatever sport the game is based on.

According to your logic, a football game could only be considered a realistic simulation if the matches actually lasted 90 minutes in the game. This is nonsense.

People have been calling certain PES and FIFA titles realistic because these games capture the essence of the sport. Fun fact: Even Forza Horizon simulates cars. Obviously there are simulations that go much deeper, but that doesn't change the fact that you're driving a simulated car.

No, that's a misrepresentation of what he said. His claim wasn't that something has to perfectly replicate all aspects of sport in order to count as a simulation of it. You're just distorting what he said into that ridiculous point in order to defeat it:

AKA: a strawman argument.

In the broadest sense of the word, yes all football games are simulations of football. We would all agree to that. Football is the sport which these games simulate. In a narrower sense, people use "simulation" as an evaluative term, often (too often, in my book) opposing it to "arcade". In this narrower sense, it is more equivalent to "realistic" as a term of approval, and indeed @rojofa's points were originally phrased in those terms ("realistic simulation"). You know what he meant; we all do.

By all means argue that PES or FIFA or some other game constitutes a realistic simulation of the sport; but these cheap arguments where you either strawman or conflate two senses of a word won't get you there.

I've seen plenty of posts on that sub which have referred in passing to the "patches" and gameplay changes that Konami already "made". In short, nobody has a monopoly on stupid.

Look, here's a post from a couple hours ago where some are entertaining the idea (and others not) that the game is being updated by Konami:
It's really quite laughable, but not surprising. If a group of people are invested enough to upvote in numbers the sentiment "this is the most realistic PES I've ever played", then they are ready to believe any nonsense that sustains the fantasy of this game being somehow, secretly, great.

I've been receiving so many messages about how the game is "much better now" and "you need to give a try after all these patches"....

I know for a fact there weren't any patches, but I thought what will I lose if I try the game again. The answer: I lost 15 minutes of my life before turning it off. Nothing changed and it's horrible to play.

I think what happened is that the 95% of angry players stopped playing it, and now we're getting impressions from the 5% who loved it, giving the impression that 100% of people are loving it now, when it's just 100% of the 5% who are still playing it.
 
Wtf 🤔

So there is a strong positive correlation between believing in magic & other paranormal phenomena (the numerous patches that never existed), and in liking this game. I had some suspicions.

Scully explaining to Mulder: "There were no patches. The game is still shit".

The least Konami could do for the fan base is to release a roster update for 21, while they work on 22. I would still play it regularly if that was the case. Throw a PS5 update while you’re at it for 60fps cutscenes and replays, the game still looks good enough.

I mean, that’s what any competent development team should have done last year. Keep the good stable version updated for online and myClub fans, and simultaneously an either open or private alpha/beta version of the new game, free for testing, just to get that feedback and iterate quicker.
