eFootball (All Platforms)

I've just come back to 'efootball' for what feels like a 6-monthly check-in.

Same horrible menus and graphics - check
Same 50 button presses to accept notifications about events and
same acceptance of countless apologies from admin and 'free' coins - check

So it looks like we've still only got exhibitions with the 'authentic teams' but all the difficulties, match lengths, weather settings and stadium are freely selectable? The commentary is turned off and can't be turned on, which seems strange?

Gameplay remains uninspiring and the AI does the usual of having none of the ball but score with their first attempt.

But can someone explain to me why KONAMI pays for any kind of licences .... for BVB lets say.

If all idiots who are playing the game are buying those cards, why even need for licences ... you just need player licence for cards, not teams.

They are licensing German teams because they can't access their players otherwise. The Bundesliga clubs aren't part of FIFPRO.
 
Not a FIFA or EAFC player now , I'm playing modded 21. However if EAFC 26 get this duel mode right so offline players get a decent game that resembles football that might just might be the push konami need to re introduce ML as players would leave Football in droves . I don't have much confidence but you never know
 
Konami quarterly financial results are out and their revenue increased almost 8% vs last year.
Now, how much would that % change if they include a ML or improve efootball? Terrible decision to kill PES for fans, but probably not bad decision for stockholders and health of the company (they dont provide a breakdown of digital entertainment revenue so hard to tell how EF affects their revenue, but they seem to be doing fine)

Well, let's not kid ourselves, if eFootball was a financial disaster, or at least worse than PES... they would've scrapped it in favour of bringing PES back already, so why haven't they? Why do we have no offline modes pretty much, even after all of these years? Because eFootball was a financial success, surely more successful that PES was in its last few years at least, so no... we won't be seeing any changes in the favour of offline anytime soon, lads.
 
Is this why PES died? Man looks like bullshit I tried today after 2 or 3 years without touching it and still looks and feels like a mobile game with mobile graphics with mobile interface and UI everything looks horrible and the menu just show cards cards cards and more cards my god 🤮

I like the kindergarten (E-Football) banner advertising in the background. It looks like advertising for a daycare centre/childcare centre.

Actually, I'm still disappointed about what happened to our beloved PES passion.
 
Hello all checking in again. Still can't believe it hasn't sunk in with people that you're not actually ever going to get master league :LMAO:

I don't think anybody thinks we'll be getting ML but for a few of us this is still currently the better experience from a purely gameplay perspective so we continue to discuss and hope! :LMAO:

Although if authentic mode does what the devs say, I might be out of this side of the site for a long time :(
 
I really like the gameplay a lot and some beautiful stadiums have also been implemented graphically, and the faces look very good now. What I don't understand is why some stadiums look so terrible and the fans in the stands still look awful despite full resolution. Konami is simply not tapping into the potential of this game and just letting it run as is. I hope that the graphics will also be worked on further with the August update.

I think most know a Master League will never come and most also have stopped believing in any rumours from leaks.

It is just strange that Konami doesn't try, because there is not really an argument there. Their main competitor has a career mode every year and it doesn't influence their Ultimate Team numbers. So there shouldn't be a risk in releasing a single player option.

Fair point, I guess they probably think they would not get the development cost back from it or they would have done it already
