eFootball 2022: Konami officially announces the release of the highly anticipated v1.0.0 update on 14th April

Konami has completely revolutionized their Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) video game and has come up with eFootball, a free-to-play cross-platform video game based on football.

However, eFootball didn’t turn out as it was supposed to be. The first version of the game deemed as the demo was launched with a range of problems, including glitches, poor AI, and some wildly inaccurate player models.

eFootball 2022 has already received a v0.9.1 update. However, it was just a minor update release which was a stepping stone towards the larger v1.0.0 update, as Konami promised to fix those issues.

Now, Konami has officially announced the release date of the v1.0.0 update. eFootball 2022 will get the highly anticipated update on 14th April 2022.

We have received a lot of feedback from all of you since the release of v0.9.0, which was vital for us to further improve the game. Our objective has always been to create a “New Football Game” for everyone to enjoy, and this has helped us to take one step closer to this goal.

Rest assured, we will continue working to improve and update our game even after the release of v1.0.0, with the intent of creating an even better digital footballing experience for everyone.

Konami also commented regarding the iOS/Android version of eFootball 2022

We would like to apologise once again for the delay of the eFootball 2022 mobile version update.

The development team is working hard on the mobile version of the game to ensure that the eventual release is of the highest quality, which our esteemed users rightfully deserve.
We will be making an announcement regarding the release of the mobile version update soon. In the meanwhile, your patience is much appreciated.

We hope you continue to enjoy playing eFootball 2022!

eFootball 2022: Improvements coming to the game via v1.0.0 update

The full patch notes of the v1.0.0 update are not available yet, but according to an article by Wccftech, here are some of the details on the improvements coming to defending, passing, shooting, dribbling, and more.

Changes to Defending Controls and the Addition of “Call for Pressure”

After reviewing the prioritisations of defence-related plays, we have decided to change the default button settings of eFootball 2022 in order to make defending more intuitive. Pressing commands that were available in previous instalments will also be re-introduced into the game. Furthermore, we added a new command, “Shoulder Charge”, for you to regain possession in a more proactive manner.

Pressure: Regain possession by applying pressure to the opposition ball holder.
Match-up: Jockey the opposition dribbler with a lowered stance and finer steps. This is also effective for blocking passes and shots.
Shoulder Charge: Win the ball back by barging your shoulder against the opposition player. Especially effective when the opponent has touched the ball far from his foot, or is trying to trap the ball.

Passing Improvements and New Command “Stunning Pass”

Besides defending, we have also received a lot of feedback regarding passing. Many of you have commented that the passes were too slow in eFootball 2022, and that there were too many unforced passing errors. In light of this, improvements have been made to the game with a focus on game balance and satisfaction of controls.

We have generally increased the pass speed, so that the pace of the game matches with the aforementioned defence-related improvements. Moreover, we have also implemented a mechanism that utilises the rebound of the ball as a force of acceleration. This will be useful when performing one-touch passes, for example, for the ball speed will increase due to this mechanism. The result of all these changes is a “rhythmic passing game”, which is an important element in modern day football.

Regarding passing errors, we have deduced that they were caused by both the passer and the receiver’s actions during and after the pass was made. As such, we have implemented fixes to the following points:
– Improved targeting decisions for passes
– Improved AI decision-making when receiving passes
– Improved movements when receiving passes
Following these corrections, the occurrence of unnatural passing errors has decreased substantially.

On top of that, as a new element to make the passing game all the more enjoyable, we have added “Stunning Pass” commands which allow you to kick the ball with various special trajectories.

Additional Shooting Trajectories for Enhanced Satisfaction

Regarding shooting, we have made specific improvements to the following 2 points:
– Improved shooting speed, with focus on realism and satisfaction
– Adjusted the rate of on-target shots to reflect match circumstances appropriately

Furthermore, we are adding to eFootball 2022 a wide range of shot variations and trajectories for each situation, such as the incisive “Stunning Shot”.

Strategic Evolution Through Improved Dribbling Functionality

In terms of dribbling manoeuvrability, we have made significant improvements to the following points in order to present a gratifying one-on-one experience through realistic motions. These include:
– Better ball tracking accuracy and response to L Stick inputs
– Improved response to Dash inputs

Other functional enhancements include improved response and ball behaviours for the new “Sharp Touch” command, as well as simpler feint inputs.
