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

    eFootball 2022 does show some signs of a great soccer-game after update 1.0.0. However the game remains very rough around the edges – not only on the pitch, but also when it comes to presentation.

    It may be free and as some of its aspects are concerned, fairly fun to play. But on the other hand, eFootball 2022 is plagued with horrible bugs and glitches, graphical monstrosities and outdated physics. As a whole, it is something you may enjoy in a short run. But in this state, if the game is not improved, Konami may change the price from “free” to “paying us back” – it still won't save the poor franchise.

    eFootball 1.0.0 version is a substantially better game than the one we got in september. However, it does little more than the bare minimum to actually be considered a game - what we had before was pretty much a tech demo. With an array of missing features and unforgivable absences in its game modes, as well as an improved yet inconsistent gameplay, eFootball is to PES what MK Dons is to Wimbledon FC.

    A disastrous start to the post-PES era. The only consolation? It surely can’t get any worse from here.

    Worsens everything that was done well in the past.

    A shameful launch of a barely playable, graphically embarrassing game that shames the memory of PES and may have killed the new franchise before it’s even begun.

The ball physics have gone 11 years back, the passing physics, the shooting physics, the entire feel of the game is as simple-minded as that of a mobile game. Gone is the nuanced off-ball player movement that invited intelligent and purposeful passing. Forget about tactics, you now have 5 varieties to choose from instead of the hundreds of varieties you had. Player awareness... What player awareness? The ball rolls (i.e. skids) all over the pitch ignored by one player after the other. But what about the manual physical defending I was so excited about? Yeah thaey replaced the Pass button with an Pass+L2 broken mechanic which magnetizes your defender to the ball till he steals it. It's just way more forgiving and can shove a plyer from the back and steal the ball, no foul given. The referee -the biggest change I wanted to see- is actually WORSE than last year's game. I can go on and on forever. Net physics downgraded.... etc. What a disaster of a game launch. This game needs 1-2 more years of very hard work to turn things around, that's how hopeless it is at the moment. Oh, and I'm not saying this because "I don't want to relearn the new game"... I actually haven't lost a single game online despite using full manual controls. The game just blows and is a disgrace to Konami. At the very least, it's no longer called PES. Imagine seeing this as a positive.… Expand

    Completely, totally, speechless. Today I bought FIFA for the first time in more than 20 years. Enough said.
