Critic Reviews for eFootball 2022
In PR terms, it's the world's costliest public beta. There's a lithe control system in the wreckage, but it'll take many updates to dig it out.
A disastrous start to the post-PES era. The only consolation? It surely can't get any worse from here.
A shameful launch of a barely playable, graphically embarrassing game that shames the memory of PES and may have killed the new franchise before it's even begun.
Launching a game, even free-to-play, in such a sorry state is a total lack of respect for the user, and in this case, for the history of the once best soccer franchise.

Konami couldn't have chosen a worse way to bring its football franchise to the new generation, as eFootball 2022 seems more like a mobile game ported for PS5 and now Konami is facing an uphill battle to regain the trust of the community and come back from what could be the worst sports simulation in the history of video games.

Given Konami's commitment to gambling games over the last few years, you'd think they'd be averse to making poor gambling decisions.
While changing game engines is likely to prove useful down the line, the initial launch of eFootball as a F2P platform comes off as a mediocre, watered-down football experience far below the expectation of Konami.
eFootball is not a step backwards - it is a step back in development. Konami forgot about the experience gained over the years and offered a defiant product that does not encourage you to stay with it for longer. Sometimes even free vinegar is not sweet.
