Efootball 2022: The ex

Konami Holdings Corporation (コナミホールディングス株式会社, Konami Hōrudingusu Kabushiki-gaisha) est une société japonaise de développement et d édition de jeux vidéo, l une des plus importantes et célèbres du secteur. Son siège social est basé à Tokyo (Japon). Les activités de la compagnie s étendent au domaine du jouet, de l animation ainsi qu à ceux du fitness, de la santé et des machines à sous. Son chiffre d affaires en 2019 était de 2,1 milliard d euros.

Konami s realignment of its football simulation is a bad joke. This is not necessarily on free-to-play approach, but because it is the worst football in years. In all areas and at every level.

Good decisions before eFootball 2022 does not lead to success

eFootball 2022 is the latest installment from the playful successful Pro Evolution Soccer series. On the way to this new brand name, the Japanese developer smart and bold decisions met.

Two years ago, in 2020 the last full-price game appeared with eFootball PES. One year later, Konami has playfully left everything as it was, but a fair Upgrade pricing teams and players updated. This was good for fans at. As far as - wise way.

The approach of eFootball published on 30 September this year 2022 is bold a step further. from full price will be free-to-play Clever, are sports games but every year in the criticism, too expensive for too little new content to be.

The crux of the matter: While rival FIFA comes off well in public and also in our own test 22 failed eFootball 2022 in each of the following disciplines Unfortunately, even where it was superior to the competition..

eFootball 2022 is an optical spills bite

The next-gen version of eFootball 2022 seen in almost every respect from worse than the last generation two years ago. Starting with the lawn, which is a restless, fuzzy, muddy and ugly surface without real grass structure.

Even worse is the players on the field. Their facial expressions are partially warped weird. There, a face like a zombie, here s a stiff, lifeless, almost already dead face.

The former strength compared to the FIFA series, namely the hand-modeled player faces is no more. The opposite is the case.

Not nice to look at are the viewers who look from a distance more like contiguous dots of color and not as individual people. Not nice to hear, unfortunately, they are. The monotonous, few and always the same chants are best if you do mute.

(K) a presentation of 2022 eFootball

The soundtrack menu is fine and deceives the ears high product quality before. But if you used your eyes, to your neck hairs stand on. Alone the menu looks as if it would have to compete with Windows 95: gray window with black text on a colored background.

A mini consolation is the improved presentation before kick-off. The TV cameras provide an insight into the cabin of your team where the kicker motivate each other and make their way to the players tunnel. In addition, the warm-up sequences like your football before kick-off.

However, right stadium atmosphere will be completely on. There is permanently too quiet in the stadium. And the well-known commentators Marco Hagemann and Hansi Kuepper operate again phrases exemplary Proverbs recycling in recent years.

eFootball 2022 verschlimmbessert playful

It is not clear whether the cause of all evil the transition from the in-house Fox on the Unreal Engine. 4 But one thing is: the great strength of the playability is now further weakness among many.

The slowed tempo feels like a slightly faster slow motion. At the latest when it comes to light slowdowns. To this end, your kicker generally control cumbersome.

With twists in particular the kicker as heavyweights. Movements such as sprinting or dribbling are sluggish and often are you running off without wanting it.

Some of the football players do not respond to your controller inputs or let the ball roll by itself. This is not to think about a fast or at all to any building game.

Even passes over five meters do not reach the players often. A pass relay race depends more on chance than a jackpot on slot machines. And do you want to quickly switch to another player, does it also not reliable.

In research terms, eFootball 2022 Demo

Before the release, Konami has fair to communicate that the current version 0.9 basically a demo version is.

The bare figures substantiate this character. two game modes, nine teams and six stages Now you must not forgetting that the game is free, but other free-to-play games offer as significantly more scope.

Offline can you compete on the couch in friendlies against the computer or a friend. Unfortunately, only with a short half-time length of five minutes. And, unfortunately, only two actually six levels of difficulty: Intermediate and superstar.

The latter is the highest level of difficulty at all. Do not you have to understand this decision. All other options are there, but grayed out. So Konami expresses the lack of these attitudes in the face.

Little well-known teams and rudimentary tactic settings

Anyone who wants to experience all original licenses should grab FIFA 22. After all, are all nine selectable teams completely licensed , including FC Bayern, Juventus Turin, Manchester United, Arsenal London and the FC Barcelona, ​​as well as four teams from South America.

Your games are in the five sizable stadiums of the European clubs out or in the Fictive Efootball Stadium.

Online you are in games against human opponents from all over the world. With preset teams. But even this mode brings little joy, because frequent connection breaks and long waiting times on the next opponent frustrating.

Nothing for tactic lovers: You can not choose your formation right now. Whether you want to defend with a three or four-circling bread or form a diamond in midfield, is not adjustable. Only the well-known speed tactics such as counter or long ball are selectable.

What s going on with Efootball 2022?

Konami has already announced the first patch for the end of October , which should resolve primarily problems. Clever, there are more than enough of it. This will then be version 0.9.1 and not about 1.0.

In winter this year, the first extension will appear. This is supposed to contain the Free Editor for teams, as well as the BattlePass called here and here match.

Is still open when the actual heart appears in terms of game modes. It should be again the master league mode , but is still unclear when he appears and how much he should cost.

The Creative mode, as a replacement for myClub, should be released for free in autumn. Other teams should only be playable from winter.

Opinion of Jens Magnus Krause

I m just stunned. As a PES player of the first hour, the heart bleeds me. How did Konami managed to publish only one semi-guarantee demo after two years of development time, which is worse in almost every area than the two years old predecessors?

The optics, gameplay and scope are just too bad and little, despite the free-to-play concept. Although the game is free, it is not worth the download. A user on Steam: Uninstall works flawlessly and even creates 27 GB place. Unfortunately, I can only connect.

I even get it to do with the fear, because my concern grows that this epochal disaster leads short or long term my beloved PES series into insignificance or nonexistence.

Finally, I would like to contact Konami with a single question: why?
