28 that is supposed to fix some of these issues, but it’s likely by then most gamers will have moved on to FIFA or something else entirely. I particularly enjoyed hearing Jon Batiste’s Freedom start playing after Arsenal beat Juventus at the Emirates.īut overall, eFootball is not fun to play right now. Second, the soundtrack, while nowhere near the level of FIFA’s, wasn’t awful. First, my PS5 controller had a nice light-blue hue coming from it while playing the match that felt quite pleasant and relaxing - perhaps a ploy to make you forget how angry you are that you wasted $0 on this game. There were, however, two redeeming qualities. Fans around the world have relentlessly mocked the game on social media, and for good reason. For a while, it was the worst-reviewed game of all time on Steam. Overall it just felt like a PS1-era game, not a relaunch of a storied franchise on 2021’s new-gen consoles.
In another match, I lost the ability to pause, meaning I couldn’t make any substitutes to take off a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who had run himself into the ground chasing those slow-ass passes. I had Lionel Messi shooting near the penalty spot a couple of times only to watch him blast it into Row Z after barely pressing the shoot button. Maybe it’s just because I’m used to FIFA, but shooting the ball felt awkward as hell. It takes an eternity for a simple 10-yard pass to reach its target, but fortunately defenders never seem to bother stepping in to steal it or pressure the receiver. It’s an issue blatantly apparent in the tutorial with Andrés Iniesta before you are even allowed to kick a ball.Īnd that’s a very bad thing considering how slow passes are. Perhaps an issue with the bad animations, players often refused to respond to a ball right next to them, defenders letting the ball slide right by them to another attacker. To make matters worse, the gameplay is pretty pedestrian too. Compared to the detailed models in FIFA 22, it’s quite shocking.Īquí están los fallos más divertidos de eFootball /1hHURDc9i9 Additionally, the players all have weird neck shoulder areas that look inhuman.
Horrifying images of players’ faces have been making the rounds on social media since the game’s release, and while I didn’t see anything quite as garish as others, the game’s disjointed animations still made me think I was playing a game released in 1998. The commentary is adequate but doesn’t quite seem as nuanced as FIFA’s. There are weird pauses where the screen just freezes up for nearly a second as it changes scenes during a replay or stop in the action. Everything from the player faces, animations and even the fans is janky as hell. Whoever did the work designing these should probably be promoted, because everything else looks like garbage. Once you jump into a match you get to see some pretty spectacularly detailed stadiums. Although eFootball has some big licenses, there is still a limited number of actual clubs in the game overall.

At least in the online mode you have a full roster of 200ish clubs to pick from as opposed to just nine in the offline mode. You can’t find friends to play online, only randos on the internet in an attempt to win some in-game currency that I couldn’t find a way to spend. The online mode forces you to pick one team to play with for a 10-day period because reasons. The offline mode is pretty dull, with the bizarre option of only playing regular or superstar AI difficulty, with no in between. There are buttons for other modes on the main screen, but they’re all greyed out an unclickable. It’s not understandable why there’s almost nothing to do.Ĭurrently, eFootball has two modes: a basic offline kickoff mode for playing the AI or couch co-op and an online mode where you take on others from around the world.

What little the game has to offer.Īs a free game, it’s understandable eFootball isn’t as fully fleshed out as FIFA 22. I played some matches and explored what the game has to offer. This time around, I made sure to put in a bit of effort to learn the controls - read: I changed them to match FIFA. The game wasn’t too bad, I just couldn’t figure out the controls. I spent 15 minutes with the PES 18 demo a couple of years ago and that was enough for me.
The last time I played a Konami soccer game was also the first time. PES year after year, with FIFA always winning in sales and usually winning in overall gameplay. There’s also Football Manager and these great kinda-soccer games, but really it’s been FIFA vs.

Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer (Winning Eleven in Japan) has long been EA Sports and FIFA’s biggest rival in the soccer video game wars. I hope by me playing it, I can prevent all of you, our dear readers, from wasting a night with this shockingly bad game. The loss made me want to take a bit of a break, so I spent an evening playing eFootball instead.
