With eFootball, Konami’s intent was to launch an ongoing platform that it would be shaping up over the years. Last year’s release was a failure, both technically, and content-wise. Gameplay was poor and unrefined, while club licenses and single-player limitations felt illogical. Overall, it was too little to keep players engaged for more than a week or so. Is the much anticipated v1.0 update enough to turn things around for eFootball 2022? Let’s find out.
Last September’s complicated debut definitely cast a shadow over the entire eFootball initiative, with the umpteenth PES rebranding that was immediately out to catch up with the bigger than ever FIFA 22. Anyway, it’s worth mentioning that, despite being quite late to the party, the first few patches helped the game improve a lot since release. At that point, the game only needed some final touches, and some of the promised features that were nowhere to be seen at launch.
