The plans called for cross-platform play, online leagues and “team building mode” (both names still TBA), and a battle pass of content to roll out this fall. eFootball launched with two modes of play: a local single or multiplayer match, using one of only nine teams, and “challenge events” playable against AI or other players online.īut practically no post-launch roadmap could inspire confidence when such meager offerings came strewn with comical visual gaffes and humiliating glitches. The plan was always to release a base game followed by larger, popular gameplay modules, such as the Ultimate-Team style Master League, and the single-player career Be a Legend. Konami skipped a year after publishing eFootball PES 2020 in 2019, then took the franchise free-to-play with Unreal Engine 4 this year.

More importantly, the stars actually play like their real-life counterparts Michael Owens speed borders on the ridiculous, while David Beckham bends kicks like a mofo.Update for our followers: /uCWiqitO52- eFootball October 22, 2021ĮFootball is the former Pro Evolution Soccer/Winning Eleven franchise going back to 2001. Although there are no MLS teams and most of the other national league squads are incorrectly named (due to Byzantine licensing rules), nearly all of the players do bear the right names. But when you do score, its all the sweeter. Sky a ball over the crossbar after all the work it takes to set up a shot and youll be more distraught than the suicidal players on the field. Youll need a solid passing game to mount any sort of offensive attack, and even then goals are rare.

The FIFA series may have a bit more flash, but Eleven is top of the table when it comes to gameplay and thats all that counts with soccer. For those still reading, Winning Eleven 7 is as good as it gets.

If a hard-fought 1-0 battle doesnt sound like edge-of-the-seat stuff to you, then fire up Madden and let us enjoy this beautiful game in peace.

First, a warning: This game is for serious soccer fans.
