    Spieler als Amateure, die um Bier spielen. An ihnen prallt die Kugel wie beim Flipper ab. Besonders an Ronaldos Füßen klebt der Ball. Kartoffelspiel.

I guess eFootball is an option for casual gamers who do not want to pay too much for a football game, but, in my opinion, it is no longer a decent football game; gameplay is simply awful, in many senses: the movements of the players, refereeing... It is just too random and not even strictly skill-based.… Expand

    Manipulated game. Konami let bad players win, cause they want thier coins. It not only about skills and luck. When coins come in the game, game affects manipulation. Coop is good, but single game, my club is verry corrupted.

    There’s too much scripting at the 45th, 60th, 75 and 90th minutes on both sides to be anything near realistic. I mainly score league record early or at any of those minutes I pointed out. OR the other team scores.

    FIFA is Arcady and whatever but at least it’s playable and… fun. Yeah fun. That thing Konami left behind with their skill gap. It’s gonna be worse on Unreal since the Unreal engine has a notoriously horrendous workflow and updates from PES will be way fewer.

    Straight fail if it didn’t look pretty. And that’s what it is, a pretty red Cadillac with no engine.

    Believe me when i say that you gonna lose most of the game just because of this.

    Did i mentioned the lag during the online games? Well, If you don't have at least 100mg of internet your experience with the game will be worst than the average, because it always fails during every game.

    If you still wanna buy this crappy game because of nostalgia of "good old times", do it, but you will suffer during the ride.    … Expand

Acho incrível q 99% da minha crítica está baseada na jogabilidade doentia desse jogo. Sendo assim, escolho começar pelos níveis de dificuldade q não fazem sentido algum. Se vc coloca no profissional, por exemplo, em uma partida de 5 minutos, o jogo vai ser difícil! Ok, até ai tudo certo. Porém, se vc aumentar o tempo da partida, colocar 30 minutos por exemplo, a dificuldade simplesmente vai diminuir, ou seja, quanto mais tempo vc colocar para jogar, mais fácil será o jogo, qual é o sentido disso???
    Outrossim, a de se destacar os comandos horríveis desse jogo, q trosso nada a ver! Combinações entre os analógicos que tentam se assemelhar ao drible na vida real quando na verdade a proposta é de ser um jogo arcade, pra q?????? Se o jogo é arcade pra q vai querer “simular um movimento de drible”? Não trouxe realismo nenhum. Poderiam ter deixado controles simples para a realização do drible, semelhantes ao do FIFA Street.
    Ademais, cabe ressaltar alguns outros detalhes menores q me incomodaram muito como, por exemplo, o fato de q em 90% das vezes q eu dou um bote no adversário, o juiz marca falta, sendo q a CPU nunca faz falta, msm quando ela dá o msm bote no meu jogador (as vezes, em uma dividida, o meu jogador cai q nem bosta no chão, enquanto q o da CPU só faz um movimento de tropeço, e no fim, o meu é q cometeu a falta kkkkkkk). Além disso, é impossível dar carrinho no nível normal (só no profissional), pois sempre será falta, e o mais curioso é q a chance de vc tomar cartão vermelho direto ao dar carrinho por trás é minúscula, quando na vida real qualquer juiz expulsa o jogador em uma situação dessa (mistura de arcade com simulador não dá certo, ou faz um jogo realista ou faz um arcade!)
    Outro detalhe minúsculo, mas q me deixou incomodado, é o fato de q mts vezes eu fui prejudicado por não ter controle sobre o jogador.
    Por exemplo, vamos supor q o adversário (CPU) afaste a bola com um chutão, e q ela esteja indo em direção a lateral. O meu jogador simplesmente vai correr como se não houvesse amanhã na tentativa de impedir a bola de sair, msm q seja óbvio q ele não vai conseguir, o infeliz corre igual condenado e eu não posso fazer nada. E isso é chato pelos seguintes motivos: em primeiro lugar, na maioria das vezes o jogador simplesmente vai dominar a bola pra frente, ou seja, ele vai dá um leve chute na bola, q vai sair pra lateral quando a msm já estava saindo de campo, sendo assim, o lateral vai para o time da CPU. Em segundo lugar, isso desgasta o jogador de forma desnecessária, eu já uso bastante da energia do jogador pra pressionar o time adversário e ainda sou obrigado a ver a CPU controlar ele pra impedir q a bola saia? Sério msm, pq? Por fim, eu só quero deixar claro q é notório q a Konami não sabe nada de futebol. Eu tbm não sou nenhum expert, mas sei o suficiente pra ver q esse jogo é uma bizarrice!    … Expand

    Everytime you play against strong teams the game automatically put them in advantage, with scary own goals, they winning every ball dispute, and your defensors become the most stupid ones as npc’s!

    Their only intention can be to keep the user base at the game but it goes out of his was to insane lenghts to try to make sure you fail.

    ı have witnessed players refusing to intercept, refusing to obey to supercancel driven runs, well prepared key shots.

    It like a playing a guitar but the tunes and chords never come out as intended unless you paid for big dlc and constanty.

Creating this kind of differences between the stats of players there will be no more skill gap between users when play agains a better team, and why play against others if ther is no more real competition ?!

    The word ''update'' perfectly describes not only this edition of the game but probably the last five titles in a row. Then again, PES remains to be a good, license lacking simulation. The price is fair but the wait is real, as we are already looking forward to the new installment that will shake things up a bit, after a long wait.
