Sadly, the menu interface most likely went through some rounds of approval, so we’re just going to have to live with it until next year, Season 2. I’ve never worked on a video game before, but it seems like once Konami gets a hang of the Unreal Engine we could see the grass sorted. The grass does this in real life, but how Konami uses it makes it stand out like Pep playing a striker centrally.

Some of my favorite Chelsea kits have been yellow and blue, but it only works when there is a backdrop of another darker, more dominant color softening the color combination. You can tell by the looks of Juventus’ new third kit that the same group is at play, but that group needs to get their eyes checked. Speaking of color, the first thing Konami should have done for this patch was to change the blue and yellow user interface, but alas it’s still there. A good representation of grass is usually down to textures and they’re strong in eFootball 2022, but the lighting and color still need work. Foot planting still isn’t as consistent as I’d like, but the complaints of “players stuck in the mud” are more than likely by players who are used to FIFA’s lack of inertia when running with or without the ball.īoth of these areas have been improved upon, but the grass still looks poor when compared to FIFA. While it’s hard to fully judge the AI due to the limited offline modes, the players move with a sense of weight that straddles the line between FIFA and older PES versions.

The freedom of movement that I heaped praise on way back in the summer was hampered by poor AI and an atrocious collision system. For starters, player movement feels really good. While still not quite at PES 2021 levels, especially in terms of a total package, there are a few areas where eFootball 2022 is better than its predecessor. What Has Improved Gameplayįrom a gameplay perspective, nearly every aspect of the game has been improved upon from the previous eFootball 2022 version (0.9). I detailed the patch notes last week, and now I’ve had a chance to spend a good amount of time with it so here are my initial eFootball 2022 1.0 impressions. That said, after a few months of non-news apart from the occasional apology, the highly anticipated 1.0.0 patch has arrived. By now, we all know what happened with eFootball 2022 so there is no need to rehash that.
