That being said, eFootball 2022 offers possibly the thinnest amount of content seen in a full release sports game in a long time.

That’s a very small plus in a field of minuses though, and talking of another minus, there’s the miniscule amount of content this game actually has to offer.ĮFootball 2022 is now classified as a fully released game, a fully released game now in its second season of content, and therefore all the usual expectations of content provision apply. One thing I’ll admit that eFootball 2022 does well is the stadiums, with a changing room shot before every game followed by a tunnel walkout.

And there are not many things more immersion shattering than seeing a cardboard crowd do the exact same set of animations for ten minutes while trying to concentrate on dealing with an already immersion breaking set of controls. Now, I’m aware that the crowd isn’t the most integral part of any game, but for a game that wishes to position itself as a realistic football simulator, immersion is a huge factor in deciding its success. The worst thing about the graphics of eFootball, however, is the crowd. Once again, this is a thing FIFA gets hugely right, and something eFootball needed to perform strongly on, but didn’t. I’m happy to say that this isn’t quite as bad as it was at launch, however it’s still not in a state even close to acceptable for the modern generation of gaming. The quality of these would vary massively, going from decent for a popular player, to atrocious for a mid or low level footballer. It’s genuinely shocking to see how little care has gone into the detail here in the main gameplay systems of eFootball 2022, and that doesn’t stop here at the gameplay either.Ī big reason eFootball 2022 gained so much notoriety at launch was for its truly, truly awful character models and facial animations. Such an incomplete AI system should not have been allowed to ship with this game at all, let alone in the “full release”, as it’s a huge part of playing a game that depends on positioning and timing. Some of my most frustrating moments playing this game come from attempting to pass to a friendly player, only for that player to either completely fail to control the ball, not be in the correct position at all, or miss the pass entirely. I’m not just referring to the opposition AI, although that is also extremely unreliable and varied, but to your friendly player AI, how your team behaves when not controlled by you. The second worst offender of eFootball 2022’s plethora of unfinished features is the AI. I’ve played a fair amount of FIFA in my time, and I’ve never been this frustrated in a game’s ability to follow my commands. It’s so inaccurate and wildly inconsistent that it actually makes playing eFootball 2022 considerably unfun. Passing is really the worst offender here though. Too bad then, that the players’ shot power is so badly balanced that it only takes a tap of a button to send the ball into space. The ball whizzes back and forth, as the speed of the game makes a blistering counterattack all too possible in almost any situation. One thing I will admit is that eFootball attempts to and partly succeeds in making this a much faster game than the average game of FIFA. This feels like a demo, not a full game, and that’s a serious problem for a game struggling to break away from its already bad reputation post launch. Online play does exist, but it doesn’t always work well, as almost a third of the matches I connected to I was disconnected from fairly soon after joining.

There’s a basic ultimate team mode now, and it isn’t a patch on what FIFA offers, not that that’s entirely a bad thing, but an ultimate team mode simply isn’t enough to fill out what continues to be a very thin package.ĮFootball 2022 comes with very few modes to play, even months after launch. When it launched late in 2021, eFootball earned scathing reviews for its poor amount of content and imprecise gameplay.Īfter the launch of Seasons 1 and 2, eFootball feels almost as barebones as it did during its “early access” phase, with very little being added to make the “full release” label accurate or feel any different from its previous phase. Unfortunately, eFootball 2022 gets very little of what made FIFA so great, right.

The clean, smooth gameplay of a FIFA game, but with none of the baggage that comes along with trying to settle into playing EA’s biggest moneymaker.

A free to play version of FIFA, a series of games known for its exploitative monetization and predatory microtransactions, is an incredibly appealing premise.
