Game is obviously playing above PES's bones and that's why it is still kinda decent, but it's an awful mode for real football fans.
No inertia (result of 1000 rated cards that run so fast, they might intercept the ball from their own pass), physics are so much worse than PES, no modes that don't have the 1000 rated freaks, mechanics are funneled for pay to win cards every single week, with their shadow adjustments - that's why it might play well one week, then after thursday maintenance it will be worse or different.
The only reason it plays decent is because of the PES gameplay engine (this game uses a mix of fox engine parameters and UE4 for the graphics), because the design is simply awful. It's made accessible for everyone, even my grandma can pick up and maybe even win some game, if she uses PA1 or 2 for assistance, and the big cards that play theirself. Defending system is absolutely offensive for a football fan:
- in this game, you'll have guided missiles running at around 250km/h towards the ball, with no inertia whatsoever, so if you treat them boys like they are a raging bull and go to the side it won't work, because they will be immediately back after you. Shit, I think real guided missiles have more inertia than this shit.
P.S - I have 1500 hours in this crap. It used to be soooo good in the beginning. Best Efootball versions (most realistic ones):
- 0.9.1, 0.9.2, 1.00, 3.00.
- The one that ruined it all: 3.4.0 (this made the 1000 players super powerful and made them not really obey the game's physics.)
- Current version: 4.0.0 (now 4.5.0) - 4.00 started so fucking well I told them boys please play before they nerf it back to shit with the community's complaining. If you were on Reddit back when 4.0.0 was released, mindless people were complaining a lot about the defending (which they made much more manual and realistic on 4.0.0), so I knew they wouldn't have the balls to keep it that way. Nowadays it's back to full auto defending and NPC's running after you like the Skulls from MGSV.
Lots of Potential, but different objective from Konami. This game makes them money, fuck real football.
This that PSA for Efootball. Also if anyone disagrees and thinks this game is the best ever - hit me up on PS5, but I only play on full manual, no assistance here bitchz, stop playin wit me
