I am truly amazed and shocked at the direction KONAMI has taken with eFootball 4.0.0. It seemed almost impossible after the changes they made over the last year. Basically, not only a 180° turn away from the super fast, ultra-assisted, ping-pong like gameplay that required zero skill to play, to something that practically feels and looks like PES. All of the new player animations, including shooting, make it feel like PES right away, and many goals and situations that were common in PES and what made the series what it used to be were impossible in eFootball but are now possible.
With all the recent announcements of changes based on user feedback, there was some hope that they would also listen to the players about the gameplay, but that they have done so with such a fundamental difference is astonishing. The gameplay feels even slower than 1.0.0, which along with the new player animations is one of the main reasons why it feels so much like PES.
