What was once and for a long time a genuine rival to EA’s mighty FIFA has become eFootball, a perplexing free-to-play release with one of the worst critical and user receptions ever recorded. Such a fall from grace just doesn’t happen in the modern, risk-averse, franchise-focused games industry. And yet here we are.
eFootball 2022’s Season 1 update just arrived, which adds substantially more meat to the bones first offered up last October, bringing with it Leagues and Dream Team modes that offer much needed long-term appeal, alongside several fully licensed leagues from which you can pick a side and turn it into your Dream Team, a la FIFA’s FUT or PES’s Master League.
