eFootball (All Platforms)

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.

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).

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 don’t know why, but I have 2020 in my steam library… 🤷‍♂️😊

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.

Out of interest, what makes you give it that high praise?

I've only played one match of the new release (so a very small evidence base), and two things still ruin it for me – no midfield (but that's par for the course in modern football games sadly) and terrible target locking. The latter is a FUMA issue really, but I get no enjoyment from assisted play any more unfortunately.

I think the only thing I have genuinely liked in all the builds I've tried so far is the dribbling sensitivity, and maybe that the tactical options (though ridiculously limited) are more coherent than normal.
 
There's less assistance from teammates about interception yes, mentality stats serves only for you it seems. Less and lesser for the players you can't control : there's a small bit of awareness even if it's subtle. Not at the level it should be.
We can't control more than one controller with 6 fingers max, no one is Goro. So yes, they kinda found another way not that footballistic, not depleasant to play but if you want the real thing from the start to the end... Like we all want, i think it's the end of it.

But i played offline and there was a bit more midfield. But i was pretty aggressive defensively. You didn't needed it on previous games which tried to represent/not totally with everything related on it.

Due to the 10 minutes limits which is too short in my opinion if you represent visually and technically the real size of everything especially the pitch.
Making the pitch way bigger was essential for the visual evolution, but it brings less midfield. Even if on the 2 previous versions it was much more physical and defensive (balanced to me)
Sorry we can't talk without example from the past if you want to talk about the present. But they founded a way to got a bit more midfield. Not from PS2 level but the pitch was pretty small.

In Efootball they toned it, harder to defend in number. But you can have some midfield situations time to time, or if you're agressive + CPU superstar, where in some others game it's an absolute zero whatever you do.

Edit: Let's hope one day, some neo-retro but for sim sports games makes a comeback. Like they did with Indies and pixels arts right now more than ever, and since around 7-8 years.
2000-2015 (even 2021) era with their high and low can't disappears like it never existed. A golden era always inspire young people, but ATM we're entering in another shitty one. I don't care if it's next-gen or PS4 level, but i would like a something balanced and with high fidelity regarding sports games as they were.
