Our ambition was to recreate the perfect soccer environment, from the grass on the field, to the players' movement, all the way to the crowds in the stadium. To this end, we decided to create a new soccer engine with a newly built animation system and revamped game commands.
    The final result was even more impressive than we had originally conceived.
    We went beyond the border of PES, into a new realm of virtual soccer.
    To signal this new era, we have decided to part ways with our beloved PES brand and rename it "eFootball™"!
    Now we hope that you can enjoy this brand-new soccer experience that eFootball™ has to offer. [Konami]    … Expand

    In PR terms, it's the world's costliest public beta. There's a lithe control system in the wreckage, but it'll take many updates to dig it out.

    This is a solid football game like the series has always been, but the lack of content and game modes simply means there is nothing to do in this game. You will get bored in a matter of hours.

    eFootball 2022 isn’t just a bad football game, it’s a bad videogame. It took Konami most of the 2010s to take Pro Evolution Soccer from a mediocre football game to something respectable, and can’t be expected to turn eFootball 2022 around quickly. Playing it sucked all of the enjoyment out of football, and I can’t help but feel it would have been better served being released as a digital pachinko game.

    It's the worst-rated game on Steam for a reason, soccer fans are left heartbroken.

    The game is straight up horrible, and I can’t understand how someone concluded that this was ready for release.

    The Pro Evolution Soccer series was all the time a worthy opponent for the popular football simulation FIFA. But the newest game from Konami eFootball 2022 has lost all of its glory of the past. The biggest problem of the title is not the small scope with only two gamemodes, nine licensed clubs and six stadiums, it’s the horrendous gameplay. The switch to the Unreal Engine does absolutely not work for the new football simulation from Konami. There is a lot of work to do in the next weeks, to make this game enjoyable and playable.

    eFootball 2022 is a disaster at launch. It's a buggy, unenjoyable mess with limited gameplay options that strip back the core strengths of the PES series, and the fact that it was released in this state at all is shocking. Konami may bring in fixes as it implements further free-to-play updates, but even then, the question over eFootball 2022's worth will still need to be repeatedly asked.

    I would be surprised if this game did not get game of the year. This game completely demolishes everything it is literally unbeatable. TheI would be surprised if this game did not get game of the year. This game completely demolishes everything it is literally unbeatable. The game is so advanced you would think that it came out in 7 years time. The best part about the game is that despite the fact that it is amazing it will get even greater in a couple months when all the game modes are included.… Expand

    3 / 10 - Poor

    Lots of problems, few modes, I'm having a hard time playing --- It gives me no satisfaction    3 / 10 - Poor
    (Only after 2 hours of playing)
    Lots of problems, few modes, I'm having a hard time playing

    --- It gives me no satisfaction ---
    Players who are not currently under our control sometimes act really weird.
    The tutorial is not very familiar with the controls.

    --- Slow-paced gameplay ---
    It confirmed my belief that I prefer fast and more arcade gameplay than simulation.

    --- The audiovisual setting is limp ---
    There is definitely something wrong with the faces of the players and the facial expressions are a failure.
    The graphics are ugly, the bodies stretch strangely and the movements seem very unnatural.

    The sounds of the fans are very unnatural, and the commentators' texts are sometimes not very accurate.

    --- Not everyone needs more fluency but I am very sensitive about it ---
    There is a blockage at 60 frames / s, and sometimes in cutscenes at 30. I despise such poor graphics settings - here you cannot even change the resolution when we play full screen.    … Expand

Мне похуй на количество режимов, оформление меню, я любил это движок, эти пасы, эти движения корпусом идентичные настоящим игрокам. Все в пизду, повторюсь, КАЖДЫЙ компонент игры стал хуже, даже графика откатилась лет на 7-8. Говноеды, которых этот высер приколол - жрите это дерьмо с лопаты. Покойся с миром PES 20/21… Expand

    Konami has spent over two years on this release and gave us a demo, now we have to wait another month for more features. This already gave EAKonami has spent over two years on this release and gave us a demo, now we have to wait another month for more features. This already gave EA and FIFA a win, lots of PES/eFootball players has already gone over to FIFA 22. Konami seems much more interested in the mobile market hence giving us mobile-like graphics even on next-gen consoles and PC.

    The Unreal Engine is dynamic and powerful, yet Konami gave us disfigured faces and animations, Defending has become more difficult with the removal of second man press. Konami also put out a note not to change controller layout since it might break the game.

    GOOD JOB KONAMI, I'm a long time ISS/PES player and this is just embarrassing, I'm sticking to 2021 when I want to play some Master League matches.    … Expand
