I can just taste the MTX in the air.

Sports games are made for sports fans nowadays, and such fans want real players, uniforms, stats and the iconic grass patterns and lighting of the stadiums.
So the fun sports games of the Neogeo era your average gamer could enjoy can't be done today, not even Neo Turf Masters.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Sure, but we also used to have NBA Jam. Best of both worlds.

Konami's eFootball is the best version of PES ever IMO, the only downside being it is F2P without training drills rather than a complete bought product. But gameplay wise at the highest skill level the football engine is spectacular, especially once you've fully developed your players' progress so their stats reflect their true self .

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Cool it'll be the London whites versus West Midlands village in a thrilling game in the FA prmeieireiere league.
It has a rumour tag that makes including it in the title redundant.

Reminds me of Sensible Soccer

Good,I hope everyone who enabled this shit with all the ultimate team garbage shenanigans gets to reap what they sow. I hope the standard edition costs 200$. Not like it would matter,these puppets would still pay what their corporate overlords ask of them.

Clearly only Ubisoft could save us!
In reality any of these large corpos would go all in with MTX fuckery. You can see it in FIFA and even more so in 2K NBA series.

I didn't watch the whole video, but the game provides options to deal with the shoulder barge and first touch issues he's wrongly complaining about. And the game is far deeper than the reviewer's playing capabilities IMO. I've only been playing PES on my own console since ISS Pro Evo - and trying to play as much now, as I did when I still lived at my parent's and had a brother to play every evening to the early hours - so feel free take my opinion as is, and as someone that hasn't spent any money on the this F2P game, and won't unless its a disc product.

The league option against the AI has 95% of the experience of the ML IMO, especially as they force key games at harder difficulty(Legend) to make winning the league extremely difficult virtually no matter how good you are at the game and how good your squad.

Football Manager 2024 but I recognise that that's a management sim and not a football game.

Yeah, play every game of a league against the AI, home and away, and earn league currency points you can use to sign players on loan for your league team - in addition to the players you buy and develop for your team used in all other modes - and use those points selectively against per game condition or stat buffs for all team players, or 3x points gains over multiple matches.
When you don't win the league, you earn more points by your finishing position to carry over to the next league season giving you more signing or buff uses. And you obviously earn different amounts of league currency points based on the difficulty you choose for a match, and the result you got in the match. You can even have the AI play for you, if you want to do it as a FM match.

Thats not how it works. But as far as I know EA dont own any exclusive licences. Konami had an exclusive license for Juventus team, and EA even with Fifa licence could not use that team in the game, they had to make a team with the same players but with a made up team logo, uniform and name.
EA has years and years of players data and experience in football, owning a Fifa licence is meaningless. A fifa licence pretty much just allows them to make an oficial game about the world cup. Player names, clubs, leagues, they are all independent licences from different institutions.

Holy shit dude, I downloaded this tonight and love it!!!! You little legend. I'll get my nan to milk your balls

Yeah the game even in its F2P format is crazy good IMO, and it completely boggles the mind how anyone is spending on FC24 UT and not playing this too, or instead of.
The only thing that's broken in the game is the manual shoot, which is a shame as PES 2021's manual shooting is the absolute GOAT IMO where a knock-on to charged shot would let you manually aim at two opposing far corner points before picking where you wanted it just as the strike is made, and even with players with poor shooting stats you could place the ball close to your target even with their weaker foot

eFootball isn't bad. It is in terms of licenses, which PES was never the best in but they always had some leagues and CL at some point. Its F2P mechanics mean its obviously lacking but I think the overall feel of the game is good again. Scoring and crosspasses feel good, it reminds me of the PES heyday which means it feels more weighty and less on rails.
Its less arcadey than FIFA. And you don't have to buy it each year.

Not sure if this is the most recent thread about FIFA's future plans, but this was on the eFootball home screen to watch the eFootball mobile competition with $50k shared orize money, and the event is under the FIFA-e branding, potentially dangerous times for EAFC ahead if this grows and becomes a branding deal with eFootball IMO

Forget all the microtransactions bollocks
The worst aspect of EA's footie games is the dribbling animations, did they do the motion capture on a string puppet or something? Looking at NBA2K24 I reckon Visual Concepts would nail this aspect while making it feel responsive and weighty.

If they can make a game with superior on-pitch gameplay (not hard) then it's best for their first game to be a World Cup 2026 tie in.
This will avoid the club licence comparisons with EA and help get their foot in the door.

The issue is most folks want to play with Clubs. Yeah, World Cup is a draw, but people wouldn't get a game with a fictional Manchester Town or ersatz Arsenal.
On the other hand not sure if contracts are exclusives.
Edit: To be fair on 2K side visuals and animations should be much better vs EA.
