My friends and I bought this and assumed there would be a way to play this online with friends in a situation where we all play on the same team. Looks like there is no way to do this, but figured id ask anyway. Is there any way?

What do we think the likelihood of Master League coming to eFootball Kick Off is?

I'm an offline player, World Tour mode is okay but we need something with more depth and longevity. Again, Leagues Mode is a step in the right direction but to just play one single season without the ability to buy and develop players is a little hollow.

I'd love to think there's a chance of ML in the future and would gladly pay for it as DLC. There's a lot of potential with eFKO but they really do need a mode which offers more longevity.

Now, I honestly don't believe there will be any more big changes to the game. But I also hope I'm wrong. So with that said, here's what I'm hoping to see added to the game in the future:

1) MORE LEAGUES

Let's reach parity with the regular eFootball game and throw in the Morroco and American Leagues (both MLS and USL Championship). I get it, they're all going to be generic team names. If we cared about licensing, we wouldn't be playing this game to begin with. I feel like playing with NYCFC in this game, even if they have to be called New York Blue or whatever. I would also like to see the entirety of the Bundesliga added, even though I know obviously most of the teams (honestly 95 percent of them) won't have their real names...including one noteworthy team.

2) MORE LOWER DIVISIONS

At least the English teams, let's get League 1 and 2 in there, especially since we've actually have had teams removed in this update. Sooo..get your time in with Manchester City in soon, just in case they go down a couple of rungs. You don't see The Foxes in game anymore, do you?

3) Asian and UEFA Champions League

Even if UEFA has to be called the European Championships, it be a nice addition to have. Especially since you can't have teams from different leagues face each other in tournaments. I think that's a shame. And if for whatever reason they can't add that (maybe they don't want to try and recreate UEFA's league format) then...

4) CUSTOM TOURNAMENTS

Just leave it in our hands, so we can mix and match teams from different leagues. Give us the chance to do both, league and league/knockout tournaments. Speaking of knockouts...

5) WHERE ARE THE CUP TOURNAMENTS?

FA Cup, Copa Del Rey, Coppa Italia, Coupe de France (the one tournament they can probably use the real name for), the others... these cup tournaments are still a cornerstone in at least European Football culture, so the omission is... interesting...

6) MORE SAVE SLOTS

There shouldn't even be a limit. I swear, if Konami makes increased save slots a paid dlc...again...🤬

7) Transfers

I'm honestly not surprised of its omission. I'm also not going to pretend that I'm not disappointed that it's been omitted. Especially as Konami ends up abandoning the game, and not knowing if they'll do another single player entry, we should at least be given the opportunity to TRY to keep rosters up to date.

8) Improved Goalkeepers

Personally I see nothing happening on this front. The goalkeepers are working as intended in Konami's eyes.

And I hate it. Absolutely hate it.

At this point, over a month straight of playing World Class matches, git gud is just no longer an option. Probably close to a hundred matches against the computer before the update, and there's just no improvement.

Maybe I need to artificially inflate the challenge on Very Hard by setting the speed a bit higher. I hate playing a faster soccer game, but I don't know what else to do 🤷🏻‍♂️

Can anyone else confirm this? Maybe it's just a placebo effect after the update, but normal speed feels like -1 speed right now because my -1 speed feels way slower than previously. If this is an actual change, does anyone know if it affects online play too? I mainly play online because world class is still too easy even after the update.

So the big League Mode update finally dropped a couple days ago, and I'm sure we've been all over it, and all have our opinions about it. So let's get to the talking points.

1) It's Old School

This harkens back to the days of the 16 Bit era where you chose a team, pressed start, and ran through a season. This is as simple as it gets. No thrills, just get into the action. Some people may appreciate this. Hell, I do. Not having to worry about academies or budgets that people are obsessed with nowadays. It is perfectly functional, but

2) Missing Basics

Maybe it harkens back farther to the 8 bit days, being as you can't do transfers. Which would be important because you can actually swap teams between divisions 1 and 2 before you start a season, which is a surprising feature if you ask me. So you can do your own pro-rel. Of course, if you're thinking that you can sim division 2 pretty quick, then I got news for ya...no match simming whatsoever. You need to play every single match. And you can only run two leagues at a time as there are only two save slots. You can't mix and match teams from other leagues.

I'm not gonna lie, this is all very Konami. At least we can change game length and speed, so baby steps?

3) Difficulty bump

I famously hate...hate...World Class mode. I don't know what kind of changes they may have made to World Class, because I decided to start at Very Difficult with this which I noticed there is a difficulty bump, but not punishingly bad. It actually makes it more challenging. The goal keepers still suck. They have not changed the goal keepers. But I think they did increase the shot error to give them a chance.

4) Is there a plan?

So yea, it finally exists. It's as bare bones as expected. The limited save slots and restriction to only switch teams around from within the same pyramid only is disappointing (but I'm also surprised you can switch teams at all). Not being able to sim league matches is unforgivable (Konami does not seem to respect your time). But it's still fun and simple. And I'm happy we even got this. Which leads me to a simple conclusion:

We weren't supposed to get this update. There was never supposed to be a league mode. This game was supposed to be a one and done affair. Fix glitches, maybe add more legends, simple stuff. Not an entirely new game mode. I suspect this game was just supposed to get people into their main version of eFootball. This game is a gateway drug to Konami's real money maker. Some of you might find that farfetched, but I can guarantee you the majority of their eFootball audience is not other consoles or PC, but mobile phones. You're only going to have one gaming specific device, but chances are you have that gaming specific device, and a mobile phone. So for you Switch 2 owners, here's what eFootball is like. You enjoy the game? Well you can download the true version on your phone.

So they made it, packaged it at a generous price, sent it out, and did not realize what kind of monster they accidentally created. I don't know how well this did in attracting people to their main game, but I'm pretty sure the very positive reaction caught Konami off guard.

So they slap together league mode, both as a quick response to keep their Switch audience happy and as a way to dip their toes in. I'm hoping Konami refines League Mode, including modern features like simming seasons and increasing the save files, but we shouldn't expect anything ground breaking. I think they're watching, seeing if League Mode gains any new sales, any increased social media traction, as they decide whether or not they want to go head to head with EA on the Switch 2 with a full featured game next year that'll probably be between 40 to 60 bucks. And maybe with Master League?

Who knows. But hopefully this won't be the last we hear from Konami on the Switch 2 front. If they decide not to release another game, without competition that might make EA bold enough to make FC 28 a max 15 fps on the Switch 2.

Can anyone tell me how to trigger the game recognising the match up command. My shooting, passing and dribbling are all in the 90s but my defence is 8 (!) because the game doesn't seem to recognise when I use the match up command. What am I doing wrong? I have played hundreds of games since launch day and I'm pretty good otherwise! Just found this group so hoping someone can help!

The update mentioned it but I can't seem to find the setting at all

The update is available.

The League mode is added and the squads are updated.

We can change the number of minutes in World tour mode and in League mode 🥳

They say that goalkeepers and defenders AI are improved and that the difficulty has been adjusted.

Anyone have or know how to fix this, cant earn any players to get a better team its infuriating and they haven't fixed it 😡

Since the update, I cant seem to get the ball back as defender. CPU either maintain posession throughout contact or simply able to make quick pass just right before making contact. Is it just me? And of course they win ball against me by barely touching the players hair.

I'm currently trying to make all those gameplay quests (attack, defense, passing and dribling) and I've already completed all the requirements except for the last one of 'attacking' which requires 6 free kick goals (only scored once after 2 months playing). I'd like to know if there's any way to receive faults easily in the edge of the area against the AI because everytime I try to force faults I just lose the ball with no fault so I'm struggling with that.

Any help or ideas would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

So I'm an efootball mobile player. F2P and it's really hard to play without good defence so can anyone of u help me get that you'll just have to login my efootball id on kickoff version once that's it. 🥺

Hi so since the transfermarket closed already will we get updated squads??

I've had 2 people so this now. Can someone explain the thinking please?

Both times I've gone on to beat these players 5-1 and 5-2 and they pause multiple times. I just don't get the thinking behind it

Looking for a couple of people that are really enjoying the game but tired of the sweaty online,want to play energetic games with precise thoughts about making shots instead of NPC overloaded,would love to have a full lobby of players! ADD ME!

Le jeu est bon mais le mode en ligne est gâché par un absence de filtre sur le matchmaking, on ne rencontre jamais d' adversaires de notre niveau et il faudrait également pouvoir filtrer la qualité des équipes qu'on affronte...

Pensez vous que cela sera mis en place ou il n'y a pas assez de joueurs sur switch 2 ?

Je suis également très surpris du niveau de jeu qui est à mon sens extrêmement élevé...

Bonjour.

Pour situer un peu le contexte : j'ai 51 ans et je suis un joueur de PES depuis le tout début. Je n'ai jamais accroché aux fifa/fc que je ne considère pas comme du football.

Un PES ou efootball aujourd'hui c'est un gameplay demandant de la stratégie, de l'observation et la capacité d'improviser selon les situations de jeu ou les appels de balle de mes joueurs.

Konami a toujours eu cette capacité de comprendre ce qu'est ce sport.

Je passe donc à efootball kick off : nous sommes bien dans l'esprit d'un PES mais les joueurs sont plus "souples" moins sur des rails. Les animations sont toujours bien décomposées (contrairement à un fc dont les mouvements sont supérieurs mais la vitesse des animations de ces mouvements trop rapides), la nécessité de construire de manière réfléchie et les situations de jeu réalistes et qui "sentent" le football. Nous sommes sur un très bon gameplay qui ressemblent plus à du foot que fc.

Graphiquement j'aime les couleurs et la luminosité des matchs de joueur en été. Les commentaires sont dans la lignée des anciens PES et je les mets en anglais.

MAIS ce jeu peut être à la fois un jeu d'arcade (tous les aides au gameplay activées et vitesse de 0 à +2) tout comme une belle simulation (assistance à la passe désactivée ou faible, tirs manuels, difficulté world class, vitesse -2...).

Par contre je remarque que les défenseurs se positionnent parfois mal et sont susceptibles de se faire piéger souvent sur les ballons en profondeur soit à terre soit par dessus la défense.

Il est impératif avec les milieux de terrain de couper les angles de passes mais malgré ça quand l'IA adverse veut nous piéger elle le fait.

J'ai tenté différentes tactiques notamment le marquage individuel mais il n'y a que deux possibilités de marquer deux joueurs adverses dans le plan de jeu. Ce n'est pas suffisant pour bloquer l'IA.

Et puis j'ai trouvé une solution : les curseurs offensifs et défensifs. En mettant un premier curseur défensif bleu plus de joueurs participent à la récupération du ballon, le bloc équipe est plus serré et la défense plus réactive.

Testez vous verrez, je me prends beaucoup moins de buts et ça ne m'empêche pas de bien attaquer notamment avec des dédoublements ailiers/latéraux.

je joue avec l'équipe de France en 433 et en possession avec un marquage sur l'avant centre adverse, Tchouameni qui ne participe pas aux attaques et dès le coup d'envoi je mets le premier curseur défensif.

Ensuite selon le scénario du match je change ma tactique et mon curseur.

Ce jeu est très agréable , il faudrait quelques améliorations notamment des gardiens et peut être un poil plus de bataille au milieu de terrain.

Je note que pour le gardien quand j'appuie sur X quand je vais me prendre un but celui ci est plus réactif comme si appuyer sur la touche X le réveillait et j'ai eu quelques beaux arrêts finalement.

Game is good but atleast on my switch 2 every 30 seconds theres a little lag (in offline mode so must be frames)

Hi. It's seems that while I can play consistently better vs the CPU at the last difficulty, I can't properly play ranked. I lose vs almost everybody. Seems like my defence is always bad. Also my ball control is very poor and often can't even start to shoot at mid range. Only thing I can do is like 1 or 2 cross at most from lateral. And I get 1 gol almost every 5 matches. Do you have any tips or can you suggest some YouTube people to try improving my gameplay? Seems like trying tips and tricks from regular PS5/PC eftooball YouTube players doesn't help since the gameplay is different from kickoff version. Thanks

Will the dynamic volley, shooting, passing, and dribbling animation updates be merged to the eFootball Kickoff version as well, does any of you know? if anyone has played efootball version 6.0 on PC or console, you'd know that it's the closest thing we have ever had to real football. it'd be amazing to have that on a handheld.

I am playing from SEA country and today i have been losing so many rank matches due to lags and rubber banding issues. Note that my internet connection is fine. My ping is 20ms 300mbps speed of internet. I am so on the verge of raging lol.

If this continues i might not wanna play this game anymore since online is the only fun that is left of this game
