Health is important :D

But eFootball can teach you to stress resistance and make your health even better, if you are understading "way this scripts are working, and do not react to them such way, that your blood pressure is changing ever".

[sarcasm]It's a best feature of this game[/sarcasm]

Is KONAMI - first-opener in game genre of "fake games" ?
I can remember only type of games - "rail shooter", where you are allowed just minimum available activity.

Because of script - you are now almost completely excluded from gameplay process.
What's really happen with whole world if such "fake games" are now standard of modern game industry ?

P.S. Question simply out of curiosity ...

Why new generation of "angry instant goal-scorers" now most important audience for all companies in game industry ?

There are so much "brains was tik-tok' ked", that in many cases players of new generation can't even allow myself to lose, out from game if 1-st goal was missed out on 10 minute of match.
But match is going during 90 minutes with added time, but they simply close game and trying to find another "easy target" for their own dopamine.
 
Here is a rare funny comment I saw on a gaming reddit.
Credit to u/Durpulous (if they didnt steal it too :LOL: ) .. I think it's a great representation of not only this community in the lead up to eShameball, butthe gaming community in general.

The first guy is all the people who pointed out the red flags since 2022, the second is the guy I like to call, toxic positivy.

"Hey there's a bear over there, we should move away."

"It's nowhere near us, relax."

"It's getting closer."

"It's just a bear, you're acting like it's eating us, we're fine."

"The bear is almost right next to us now sniffing around, it might pounce."

"Literally nothing is happening, you're being alarmist."

"The bear has now pounced. It has torn my arm off and is gnawing on your leg."

"We are still alive and have multiple other limbs left, you're constantly complaining about nothing."

:LMAO:

Price of win in eFakeBall simply 0.
Do not understand, why so many peoples still support it by own money. And generating this big amount of money advertizing via game about billion downloads.
Billion downloads and quality of game is still zero.
Because it's don't matter: don't matter skill, don't matter tactics, don't matter players card variability, don't matter different famous FC styles of play ...
Matter only - quick wish to score more and more goals and feeling myself "super soccer hero #1", that "super-puper best of best" ...
 
Hi, all just a curious forum dweller:
What would you like to mention as your most notable blunder on the formation screen except swap your goalie for an outfielder? What would you recall as your most fortuitous move cancel (super cancel)?

For me the goalie blunder would have crept on my game more than I would care to admit, and I've canceled a finish late and still pulled off a shot on goal.
 
Small dedication to eCringeBallFest

Games, that dissallowed to play
It's not a Diesel-gate, but NoGames-gate way
Developers, that making empty promises set
Sure in their 3-Years Plan of UnDevelopment.

If script decides
You will need lost
This lose in game
Will be too much nerves cost

What's wrong with us ?
That we are allow,
That this shit-show
Catch young-heads players with empty glow ?

Thing, that I am understand very correctly, that "most of shit-ballers of new generation are very weird players, that want to win by any cost and do not want to know anything about rules, strategies, tactics of soccer, respect to rival and fairplay": they ruining instantly connection, they off controls of your players, they doing weird pauses after scoring goal (trying play melody on your nerves), they close game instantly after those situation, when they lose 2-0 at 10 minute of match and do not even trying to play match fully after that, because they need only wins, only fast dopamine emotions and etc.

It's really very very sad ...
I am do not know in which game they are playing, but it is not a football exactly. It's "Run & Shoot. Repeat 15 times".
Too many of them on the field are acting like "ill-headed bastards" (correct words, because I don't understand what's the purpose to score 15 goals, if your rival is not playing in this moment) ready for all just for possibility to instantly score goals after goals ...

Some news from reddit about possible Master League.

BlMHOx9.jpg


P.S. When after one update was added minimalistic League Mode - I am still thinking, that it's "still better, then nothing".
But "Money-Powered Master League" - is weird thing, while at the same time - it's logical from point of view (degradation of whole serie), that was chosen by developers.
 
Servers are still offline, but I managed to play a home & away match against Frankfurt. Here are my observations (I also played 2 matches yesterday with the previous version for comparison):

– Evening summer matches (2nd half) appear darker
– More physical duels: pushing opponents off balance during crosses
– Goalkeeper goal kicks are faster / ball is placed further forward in the box
– Throw-ins can be taken more quickly
– Dribbling feels tighter – more space opens up
– Deflections feel more realistic
– COM plays smarter and counters better, but can also be disrupted more easily when taken out of its flow
– Double sprint pushes the ball much further ahead – even with chest control
– Long shots are much more powerful when in a good position
– Even from poor positions, you can still absolutely blast the ball

The main drawback of this game remains the engine used (and the business policy adopted), designed for mobile devices and online multiplayer (the users target of actual konami games) and easily ported to other platforms… you still see players sliding, with limited animations and castrated controls due to the need to adapt them for online play and smartphones… The physics of the players and the ball, even with differents gameplays (I modded also the gameplays inside eFootball's exe many times so I know what I spoke) , have nothing to do with what I still find in PES 2021 on PC and Football Life 2026, all because of this engine; Konami has followed the motto: ‘low cost, high return’ with Unity engine and microtransation's system with stupid card game, adapting it's old PES 2021 exe with their gameplay parameters to Unity and cards game, castrating and limitating in this way the same its pes2021 by giving it away for free for these reasons, when they could have made a lot more money from the gambling and card games and from the current generation of players who can easly be made adicted on this rubbish

Sounds like a joke, honestly, while in online and in offline your controls often simply off and your inputs don't matter anything, and from those, who is playing you are now watcher of TV translation - just looking on the events on soccer field.

I am understand, that you are trying to find something good in existing already product, but still ...

Thanks. Will try out Football Life 2026.

//edit: Wow. This was not on my radar. Really Nice!

I haven't played the update (tbh i haven't played the game in months) but the gameplay changes actually look decent. Still miserable they haven't added proper ML or edit though 😒
 
So sad.

Undoubtedly I'm reading too much into it, but the way the post is worded ("one short stint" - "we hope you enjoy playing") feels like they already know it's a disappointment.

The only people who will remember / care about Master League won't care about "short stints" or a crappy online mode. So why even bother with this?

Arguably makes it worse that the foundation is actually decent. I sound like a broken record but there can only be upside to adding modes they've already built. Cost should in theory be low, so many people will buy the add-on if priced well. Just make it a yearly subscription or slightly update each year and charge for the new version when the big yearly update drops. Baffling company.
 
My expectations for this were on the floor, I knew it would be bad. However, I still manage to be amazed at just how bad it is after watching some of the reviews.

You only actually play 6 or 7 of the matches and the rest are simulated 🤦🏻‍♂️

Master League in name only, this is a far cry from the mode that we all fell in love with. Sham of a company.
 
Ah, the old ML Default squad, i can see it is appearing in this mode as the starting team apparently. Too bad there is nothing else worth about this mode...

v5_4_squad_en.jpg
 
I can't believe how stupid (pardon the expression) the community is, that people seriously think that they will get the Master League almost towards the end of the season or in April... Then they really can't think logically and as long as they are still on this old engine I don't expect much from this game. UE5 is simply a better engine than the current one, which is bad and unfortunately they are focusing on cards.
