But it is the last bastion of "serious" football gaming to a lot of us... from a gameplay standpoint at least. That's what Konami represents.
When every other modern football title feels like skating through traffic cones with zero satisfaction in scoring goals, Konami have traditionally who we've turned to in order to find that satisfaction (Konami are why Evo-Web exists).
The people in this thread who still play eFootball say things like "I enjoy the realistic gameplay, I just wish it had a Master League". What do they get? Worse than nothing, they get these arcade add-ons.
Every single football game dev wants to make the same damn game. Nobody wants to make a sim.
