eFootball (All Platforms)

Hell, I even quite like the new version gameplay at first glance but it doesn't really matter because THEY LITERALLY DON'T WANT ME TO PLAY IT
Pretty much sums it all up for offline players. Couldnt agree more.
They said it themselves, on few occasions, that they found a new crowd, that offline is a thing of past and that this is on the bottom of their priorities.
And yet people are still blind and deaf and think some awesome Master League is just beyond the horizon.. yeah, right...
 
Its not peoples fault they imagined hoverboards and flying cars back in the day. Its not peoples fault they expected lifelike football simulation in the future when they were impressed by pes 5 back then. You have to, i guess in some form, make do with what the world gives you, despite your protests, whether its nuclear fallout or the current state of football videogames. :PINKS: Expecting anything other is only setting yourself up for disappointment. I mean, who would have thought (people who played early pes) that it would be free to play and a salvaged franchise in fucking 2022.
 
Well, I've put in about 6 hours play now (already more than I played the 0.9 version in total) and I quite like it. It has its problems (mainly issues carried forward from previous PES games) but it definitely has some improvements (over PES21) and plays some really nice football at times.

The AI definitely is a bit better than it's been since it went down the toilet from 2019 onwards - both the opposition AI and your team-mate AI. I've been playing quite a lot on unassisted cursor switching (the closest to fixed cursor on offer) and your AI team-mates play some really nice stuff, certainly compared with the 2019-21.

There's some love and attention gone into the gameplay...for me, it's more than some basic mobile game.
 
Hi

I haven't played my club or even pes since 19 version

In dream time you can change formation with Eben the default manager so is the new coaches Purley to enable your players play to full ratings or should I be looking into other things too ?

Cheers
 
People knocking the AI, maybe they are too obsessed with how they are playing or getting used to new control methods.

Set it to unassisted, manipulate from kick-off that you control the GK only, sit back and watch some brilliantly organic AI in action, especially the Steam version where getting PSG unlocked to have in the Trial matches, at full length matches, with all the difficulties unlocked, etc etc, means you get to witness the AI version of Neymar and Mbappe looking as close to the real thing (contextually choosing when to use this trick, that skill, this combination of moves to beat their man) as you could ever imaging in an actual.............game.

It seems people are never satisfied, and the fact that this in my opinion NG looking game (try it in 8K and you will see what I mean, you want it looking cutting edge, get the gear) is still actually FREE, yes FREE, still gives them the chance to be, for me, arrogant about it.

What on earth are people judging this on, certainly nothing that existed beforehand, and certainly not the next big thing in footy video games, because this is far advanced to anything we have seen so far.

Ooooooh oooooooh, it hasn't got this mode or that mode. Well offer yourself up to Konami then to help them bring the modes along for release, cos right now, they have worked for FREE.
 
You can't make your teammates make forward runs? Also, superstar AI doesn't foul at all. Unsubscribe.

Agreed! Although their are some glaring defensive ai issues they definitely play more organically compared the last few pes games. Some great moments where the ai use players like Messi, Neymar and Ronaldo's strengths to create chances.

Is this one of Konami's bots?

Coz nowadays by eFootball TM 2022 Konami's standards that's the only customization and the only way you can edit your player stats somehow by pushing cash into cards ("optionally") and level up or boosting them permanently like in some sort of low rated RPG...

"bu...but doesn't matter!!! coz its free, right...?"
EDIT mode is coming later...
 
Anyone else having stuttering in pc? Yesterday I played fine but today it lags and stutters in both online and offline. But the training mode works fine and super smooth.
 
I'm not really waiting as i'm less interested in actual football (overally, so same for football games) but i'll see if/when they will release some offline stuffs.
Then i will try it. What i see isn't awful. Perhaps it will be when i will play... No idea.

Especially Edit and at least Cup/League mode.
I used to built my database when it was possible, for ML, removing duplicates and all but... Way too rarely play it. I prefers the simple old school PS2 ML, no joke.

There's no fakes NT on the database (only on PES MOBILE 21-22, and they're updated) and i really doubt, for not saying i'm pretty sure they wont, sells a pack "create a League/Team" for at less Bundes. I won't trow an arrow to them for not having Bundes, "not they fault since 2006 ©"

But i want to make at least offline changes to the IG players. Boots, errors, blank face and all those stuffs. Of course if the game please me.
ATM i really don't want to try that Demo-beta.
 
The ball doesn't even acquire a spin appropriate to the player's swinging foot whipping it in.
Mobile game
This is what I can't get past when anyone defends this game (screw calling it a demo, they're charging for microtransactions with this release - so saying "it's completely free" is nonsense, as is "they aren't getting paid", LOL).

The ball feels and reacts like a cushion. There are no velocity effects, particularly not with corners or long balls - there is no transference of power to the ball that makes it accelerate to a point and then decelerate. It just... Floats, at the same speed from start to finish. So much of the game has had the physics ripped out of it (ball physics and body physics), and replaced with... Floatiness.

It wasn't like this in PES 2021, so it can only be a requirement of a game being released on every imaginable platform to maximise the microtransaction dollar. It's gameplay simplification, plain and simple.

When that's the entire point of Konami's exercise (killing PES to introduce eFootball), how can you ever expect it to be a good football game, and not just a good money spinner (see FUT)?
