This is the current state of passing. I did some testing on AI beginner difficulty and switching between PA1, 2 and 3. After some 5-8 passes in your defensive line the game inserts a random crappy pass 90-180 degrees of direction. To create an opportunity for the other team.

hahaha (sorry for laughing;)), this is the Biggest cheat of Konami - they convince everyone that "I'm the only one experiencing this" :) Bro, it happened to me and probably to more than 99% of players :)

What I hate most about efootball is the same thing that I hate most about fifa - when you're facing a P2W team with cracked players it doesn't feel like your opponent's players are better, instead your players get nerfed to the ground and become completely inadequate and incapable. It's what I call the "reverse powercurve" mechanic. Messi with 90+ dribbling stats all the sudden takes 3 seconds to contain the ball and most defenders can't complete a single pass.

Agreed. It went from the best football simulator to a basic mobile game from 2010 with the same animations, same goals, useless refrees, interceptions based cr@p.

We all knew Konami didn’t take us seriously when they released an update of PES 20 and charged us $40 for it so they can take the year off to “work on next gen Efootball “ yet they still released an absolute garbage game even though they had a whole year to work on it 😭.

Stopped playing FIFA and eFootball altogether about 2 years back because they're both awful. Online modes like Ultimate team (or Pay to win by it's real name) has ruined football games forever. The closest thing I can play to a football game now that doesn't get me angry is Rocket League. What a sad time it is for football video games. I remember thinking when PES 5 & 6 came out, imagine how amazing this is going to be in 15 - 20 years. Unfortunately I had no idea that developer greed was going to ruin it.

Totally agree with the fouls. AI never give away free kicks, but almost every tackle on them and they get a free kick. And the amount of times they block shots and passes is ridiculous, even when they are on lower levels.

what i also wittnesed you did not mention it. the last couple of days I got absolutely butchered by basic teams. i could not pass, i could not dribble. And i'm a monster in dribbling. Defense was like eating potato chips for the opponent. they could stop every attack instantly. while i could not defend at all. Baresi for example my strongest defender. One stat is even over 100. But not only him, every defender they just refused to defend, weird positional awareness and if i followed the opponent with the defender he was not pressing at all, he was just barely touching him from behind. Like a little child who would play against a older stronger player. while i was in a constant chase mode, every pass of the opponent went through, long lasting tiki taka in my half and the opponent defense was like a teflon pan. my goals were beautiful with my individual effort while the opponent scored every single goal with the help of the AI. I could not apply the same bias to him. i lost almost every match. What the hell is this? Thats what i call scripting. I mean its just sad. so many spend so much money and time for this franchise and they just dont care. from my feeling they had to reboot the system to the beginning to upload whatever is coming but the whole things coding is just a mess in my opinion.

I feel you. I'm noticing the exact samething. I'm getting beat by guys I normally beat 5, 6 to 1 that are level 4-7. My team can't do anything and you can tell there is something sinister going on under the hood because very strange things are happening that totally favor my opponent. I had my 102 rated keeper with form arrow up make an easy dive save where he didn't even have to stretch out somehow make the save then this weird glitch animation kicked in and the ball magically ricochets thru the keeper and into the net - the save had already been made then this delayed ricochet happens. It's obvious to me that Konami is scripting games for lower level players to win so these people keep playing.

AI defending is too strong. You don't even have to press the tackle button and the defender will still automatically do the challenge. Only think that works is through balls when the defender suddenly stops to let the ball through. That's why 99% people play quick counter PA1 ping pong and nobody tries to dribble or build up play anymore. They need to balance the playstyles

It’s nearly impossible to switch the play, 90% of the time the defenders just lock on to the ball and get to it before the intended target. Sometimes I use the full power bar to switch the play and the ball still finds a way to lock onto the defender.

The gameplay is at its lowest, it's absolutely abysmal. I completely agree with all the points above, apart from maybe "making it more p2w", because no matter how you look at it, epic/legend/booster shiny cards suffer from the exact same issues that any other cards. And when you face a squad that is 10-20 overall points lower, your 103-rated players just turn to mush a lot of the time. There are definitely some balancing mechanics behind the scenes. Regarding the boycott, it won't hurt to try, but imo the only thing that Konami would notice is if the majority of the player base stopped buying coins and spinning the boxes, but that's completely unrealistic to organize. I'm not even sure they keep an eye on the content creators for this game, there's zero communication with the community. The complaints are just piling up on every platform and there's no evidence they are even aware. Even some quality of life things that people complain about for months aren't being implemented. The game is severely mismanaged.

Agree with all your points except the positive one about the near post flick ons as I am still scoring them with Gullit or Haaland flicking the ball on at the near post. The autoblock feature is totally broken in this game. It works when it wants to. Sometimes the ball will just teleport right thru your player while you holding L2. I ask myself if this is part of the scripting going on? And then if you are lucky enough to intercept a pass you quickly lose possession again because your player will freeze or stay on the ground and take his time getting back up? Also the scripting is worse now than ever as I’ll sometimes play a guy who I’m beating 3-0 at halftime and second half I can’t get ball off him. This game has totally been regressing since V1.0 and I think it’s by design because Konami want to narrow the skill gap so people are just buying cards instead of actually learning and mastering the game mechanics as it’s all automated. Lastly and probably the most depressing part of this game is the lag. I’m quite certain that these Div 1 top 1000 guys are manipulating connections as I’ve had games where I’m winning easily 2-0 or 3-0 and after a ridiculous pause the game comes back laggy and unplayable especially when I’m going forward it will just freeze? This for me is beyond sad that people do this for a win in a video game and even sadder still that Konami allow this to continue as reporting it will achieve zero.

Cheers dude, yeah enough is enough fr

A couple of days ago I was finishing a match and the guy was relentless on attacking (since I was winning 2-1). At one point I said, fuck it, I will shoulder charge from behind because I rather have to deal with a free kick than a counter attack. I did so with Rodri, took the ball and no foul. I proceeded to pass the ball and ended up scoring. I think we both stared at the screen for a long ass time because it was clearly a foul, but no such thing was actually called. After that one match, every single player I came across managed to take away my ball from the back, and I had no chance to control the ball after a pass. I just decided to throw long passes and praying to be able to score from a head pass or a through pass. Dribbling has become impossible against division 2 or 3 players (I am rank 3)

Have u played ufl i have it reminds me of the old fifas on ps2 say like fifa 07 to 09 the layout is exactly like ea fc 24 the game has potential tho think pretty good graphics atm id give it 6 out 10 has potential to be a great football game

Im probably late with this but i've just realised that in training they have the full rostered leagues and many more International teams. It's relieved yet infuriated me at the same time as someone who likes to play offline and with friends.

There is always the possibility that I just suck in this game. I used to play it in the late 90's and early 2000's, and about 1½ year ago I started to play it again. Before there was no internet, but we had local LAN tournaments. I was quite good. Also I was able to beat AI at Legend level without difficulties. I liked to use "Wide" tactics with unexpected wide passes, quickly shifting sides. Anyhow that game style is not so easy to pull out nowadays since long balls have a tendency to travel through the air forever. Still back in the old days I had a feeling that I have more control over the movement of my players. I don't think about Ronaldinho magic, but just simply shifting the side to get my opponent out of balance. Nowadays I feel this basic type of movement is much more difficult to accomplish. It is like there is an invisible force constantly pushing into the back of the players so they are more inert and not able to move slowly as I would like so they can do tighter turns, and then there is also that issue where your player needs about half an hour to catch a balance after being slightly scratched by the opponent. 😂😂😂 I have a feeling that if I keep the player select button pressed all the time after receiving the ball that somehow helps with slower movement so that player can achieve tighter turns. It is like stepping onto the break that helps to kill some of that force I have mentioned earlier. I think part of my struggle may be caused by a "lag", but of course it can just be my incompetence. Because of that possible "lag" issue I have decided to reinvent the wheel, so recently I am experimenting with alternative button configuration. It seems it is somewhat helpful, maybe it is just a placebo, I don't know 😂😂😂. If anyone has a wish to test it out configuration is as follows: Attack Triangle=player change Square=dash X=shield Circle= Special Control (useless command 😂) L2=Low Pass L1=Lofted Pass R2=Shoot R1=Through Ball Defence R1=GK runs towards the ball R2=Match-up L1=Sliding Tackle Circle=Call for Pressure X=Pressure L2=Standing Tackle This setup is a true brain bender 😂😂😂 It requires some time to get used to it, since you will have a lot of brain farts as reflexes built into your fingers will start to kick in, forcing you subconsciously to press buttons from old button configuration you are so used to. Idea behind this setup was that it somehow feels to me that players are responding faster to ∆,X,O,[] button commands (lower lag). As I already mentioned. It might be just a placebo 😂😂😂, so I would love if someone else decides to test this out. Ciao!

Hi Spoony Pizzas! I would love it if you can find some time so maybe we could play 1 vs 1. Then I would be able to explain my setup in person and we could quickly see if it is any good. Just a reminder... I have two days of experience with new command arrangement so I am still experiencing periods during which I get confused with buttons I need to press, so expect some mistakes. Other than that it should be quite obvious from the very beginning is there some potential with this button configuration.

Interesting on defending. One reflection though is I think this is the first time that defenders are given the benefit rather than attackers which is interesting - FIFA and Efootball both just supercharge attacking play so in a weird way it's refreshing to see defenders can win and outmuscle people

Nah dude not at the expense of the AI making tackles and positioning players for you. There has to be a skill gap involved in attacking and defending.

People complained about defense ...but they asked for matchup and block to actually work...and interceptions....but instead of bringing it back to the old gameplay because I felt interception used to work pretty well last September 2023...they gave us automation...like its almost like they are trying to mock us by giving us what we want but also making sure we are triggered.. Most of the player base especially consoles are asking for more manual...we want pa1 and 2 removed...they didn't listen to that...they just do what they want or aren't interested so they dump any type of patches ..without even testing it...i play mobile....and I can feel when I have more control over my player...so they know how to implement this...but they don't want to implement it...players complained about defense...and they made it automated...who said we needed automation...we wanted to control the player and actually intercept the ball if we are in the right place...they decided to automated it...felt it will make it easier for also noobs. 100% they listen to complaints but they also mock us

Great video of the problems this game has it feels like when it's unresponsive they just speed up the game not fixing the problem interceptions auto tackling team press is op big problems for me Will not play it Friday to 👍

For real! But they're not gonna do that else all those 100+ stat players will feel weird and people will wonder why they spent their money

Konami claims this game is a game of realism. However, when I defend in 4-1-4-1, the CDM cannot automatically move up/down to cover the central area between the backs and midfield. When I defend in 5-4-1 against some specific formation, the half-space should be quite non-penetratable, but it surprisingly is because the left/right centre-back is attracted to an opponent in front of him and posing no threat to him and gets dragged out of position. Moreover, when I play 4-4-2 diamond, I cannot defend in 4-4-2 diamond, but only in 4-4-2.

I agree with all but listen content creators will still continue to put £150 on every week yah Mendesh wolf gaming liars fc pes universe the lot will still give them money m tell us to except the game for what it is....I appreciate what you trying to do as I try myself but not happening bro, I wish it would tho😢

Thank you Spoony, this video is a perfect collection and description of the "cancer" that exists in eFootball. The fact that things like player freezes are still in the game 2.5 years after the release of eFootball 2022 is as shocking as it is devastating, and shows what KONAMI has become. There have been versions with bad gameplay, but this version 3.5, as terrible as you describe it, really feels like a mashup of all the worst features/bugs in one version. I cannot understand what KONAMI's goal is with this version. It rewards players with no skill as much as possible and punishes players with much skill. I could write something about every single point you made, which proves how insanely awful the gameplay is and that basically everyone experiences it and can see/notice it if they pay enough attention. Remember my comment on your last video that ended with "..."? I can't say much yet, but if you'd like to see some of the interesting things I've found out in the last 2 years of reverse engineering, I'd be happy to show you (not publicly, that's for you alone, Spoony), at least for now. By the way, I've stopped working on all my eFootball projects for now (except for the FPS Limit and VSync Patcher for a while already), but if you'd like to try out the UCL Scoreboard, just ask, I'd be happy to let you experience it very early on. I can't promise anything about the scoreboard as I haven't updated it and it won't work until I do, but I could have a look at it and see what needs to be done to get it working again.
