In previous games is easier to kick the ball out of danger with a defender, right? Well, in this game is easier to kick the attacker away from the ball because almost every single time you want to press, the defender goes to the attacker instead of the ball and while pressing (standing) the defender starts using his strength to gain possession, that is normal, that is good… But what is not good is that using this, can result between hitting the opponent, tackling him, or hitting him with a punch. And by the way, forget about who is slow or who is fast, because the moment your player starts running, he turns into Sonic the Hedgehog running with crocs because is extremely hard to stop.ĭefending in this game is a lottery, sometimes you are Thiago Silva and sometimes you are Titus Bramble. No bicycles, no taquitos, no enganches, the only thing you can do is passing the ball in a way that not even Guardiola or Luis Enrique would approve because is extremely imprecise. Of course, they said that several mechanics would only be in future updates but that is no excuse, something like skills and feints must be in the game since the beginning.
In fact, the gameplay is as important as the graphics but here lies another issue, maybe the biggest one Konami said that this new video game would be focused more on the gameplay, on the one-on-one clash, and everybody knows that the skills in football video games are important what if I told you that you can’t do any skill or feints in the game? There are no feints in the game. Yeah, we can say that “graphics are not everything”, and it is almost true. Also, the players look ugly as hell, but the 2 best footballers in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, had a special treatment since they look much worse than the others. The new graphic motor, Unreal Engine 4, helped the game to become a meme: players spinning their heads after receiving a foul, players running like Naruto with dislocated shoulders, the ref melted on the grass, and the funniest one every time a player tries to speak, shout or celebrate, they open their mouth like aliens which leave a weird image. The new previews of the matches, the camera angles after a replay, the celebrations, make everything feel a little more natural and immersed than before, as it usually happens in a broadcast of a match, and during replays you can see the extend the game wants to reach in graphic fidelity… But these are the only good things about the graphics. The graphics are one of the few strengths of the game… when they work well, of course.
Let’s start with the first thing: the graphics. Let me tell you, is not normal to reach the bottom of the Steam table and not even get 10 points in Metacritic among users you need something bad to did this, something bad level Superman 64 or Ride to Hell: Retribution. eFootball 2022 has become one of the worst launches Konami has brought to us by a mile. The PES vs FIFA rivalry has been one of the greatest video game rivalries we ever saw, most of all because they have always been even, but this time we have a clear winner.
