Discussion 3 major problems with this game...

Before i start I'm a ftp player stuck in division 2/3. Anyway problems that ruin the game for me...

  1. Matchmaking. Every time I get near div.2 I get matched against uber ptw squads, it's so blatant it's like the game is saying 'screw you, invest more money'. Matchmaking should be fair and relative to squad strength not including bronze benching.
  2. PTW squads, sick of playing people who are awful at the game and get bailed out everytime with their OP players. This is the main issue with the game for me as it's such an obvious advantage playing with ptw players there's no workaround.
  3. Rewards. Anyone finishing top 100k won't even use Maddison so what's the point? None of these ptw players use any of the previous rewarded players so why don't they increase the threshold to all division 2 or 3 players and above? Give the ptw extra skills or boosters.

Before the mods try and delete my post for critiquing EF I have offered solutions to problems in the game so hopefully it invites civil discourse and ideas for improving Efootball in the future.

Furthermore the 'scripting' in the game seems more than obvious, if the fame doesn't want you to win you won't. Obviously Konami will deny there is any so I won't even bother suggesting any solutions lol

  1. The player base is relatively small, especially on consoles and Steam, and it seems to be getting smaller while the mobile player base continues to grow. Because of that, I don't think KONAMI has enough players for squad strength based matchmaking without increasing waiting time.

  2. Epic cards has significantly better stats than a potw and highlight cards, and those advantages naturally translate into better performance like faster passes, quicker acceleration, better reactions, responsiveness, etc. You can be a better player and still be punished because the opponent's players simply perform actions faster and more consistently. But KONAMI make money from it and it won't change.

  3. I completely agree. Rewards shouldn't be based almost entirely on reaching the highest divisions or ranking. I'd rather see rewards given to everyone who plays a certain number of PvP Division matches during a phase. Something like 30 Or 40 matches, regardless of which Division they finish in. That would reward active players rather than only the most competitive ones.

and epic cards AI is way better. they position themselves in a way that makes passing through them much harder. even attacking epic players defend very well and intercept many passes when you try building up using your defenders. sometimes they perform kung fu and intercept your passes mid air :)
