EFootball

In eFootball there are present two focal forms of gameplay. The first is named “Authentic Team”, which allows users to control virtual real-time soccer teams in offline games (against AI) or locally with friends. There you can also play online user matches: the latter will be playable in events and in friendly matches, where you can challenge another person remotely. The second game mode is called Dream Team, in which you can play online and offline matches with an original team, created by hiring coaches and players. Each formation can be customized with its name, its uniform and its playing style. With this club you can play both offline and online through the Events section. == Seasons ==

players (L-R) Paul Pogba, Cristiano Ronaldo and Scott McTominay was widely shared, according to Polygon, as "the most notorious example" of the game's poor graphics. At launch, eFootball 2022 was panned by critics and players, who criticized the "atrocious" graphics, lack of content, laggy engine and finicky controls. With 92% negative reviews, it became the worst-rated game on Steam a day after launch, and the lowest-rated game of 2021 on the review aggregator Metacritic. Konami later apologised for the game's many issues and said they would work on improving it. A major "1.0" update, that aimed to address many of these issues, was released April 14, 2022 on PC and consoles. A 2022 review by Simon Cardy of IGN after the 1.0 update gave it a 4/10, writing that "In truth, it's still hard to recommend playing eFootball, even if it is completely free to do so" and that it's "disappointing in so many areas that it's hard to see a quick fix forthcoming". Cardy also criticized the skill moves and gameplay, writing that it's inconsistent and that its AI is dense and dull. Other things he criticized were the pay to win model, the lack of game modes, the atmosphere in games, the commentary in games, and the user interface. However, he praised the presentation of the pitch along with the player and stadium models. == See also ==
