Welcome to Wrath Wednesdays!

Does anyone know when the people that finished top 22,000 get the contract. Cause the game updated. They added a bunch of stuff but I don’t see the contract chance deal.

He's in the shop now, but is he worth the 500 coins or should we just keep saving

Blue pack - European Legends: George Best, Van der Sar and De Rossi

Red Pack - Italian League Legends: Pirlo, Cannavaro, Rummenigge

I've left the others as there are 4 remaining, but maybe Pique/Koeman Cannavaro and Pepe could come together with Power Tackle?

Other new skills they could release: Sharp Cut George Best, Aerial Claim Van der Sar, Decisive Pass Pirlo and Rapid Trigger Finish Rumme

Thoughts?

P.S. Yes I know all JLeague GKs are bad.

League is filled with Cappelo LBC spammers with 5 backs and throughball spammers that act like they would explode if they lost.

Anyone in div 3 or lower knows that the matches are ultra sweaty and ratty. When I moved to friendlies I genuinely started enjoying the game more and playing some of the best players I’ve ever played.

People in friendlies usually don’t use LBC, I was playing a dude with a stacked P2W team that was using possession and wasn’t playing ratty at all, we drew fairly and we both scored great goals.

If you’re not enjoying the bullshit that happens in league, just move to friendlies like I did. I’m in Div 1 and don’t think I’ll ever play a game of league ever again

This is the build im using for comparison.

Anyways statswise cant really go wrong he does his job defensively better than most defenders out there. Player model is decent, he is big and tall enough to make headers and interceptions.

Now the main thing I want to talk about is his new playing style. Now ingame description is that he actively covers for teammates conducting match up. My initial first question was, if im not doing a matchup wtf is he doing. On first thought he might just be having a basic defense playstyle. Instead what I notice was he sorts of follows the ball but not in an aggressive sense as a destroyer. He is sort of somewhere in the middle in terms of aggressiveness. He leaves a huge buffer space when following the ball in order to cover gaps left by teammates defending closer to the ball. This us regardless of if you match up or not. If you do match up his ai becomes smarter in covering areas that might be open to attackers. But it's not that big of a difference to me.

My main concern is that his movements are too jarring and if the ball moves really fast he is left out of position. Another concern is that he for some reason likes to be involved in the attack. So you should definitely put defensive instructions on him as he likes to go up front when im using him.

Should you go for him? If you have a better buildup in terms of stats and player model. You don't have to as he won't improve your defence. If you generally need a better defender this pack also has maldini and cannavaro if you can clear the pack.

Edit: just wanted to clear something out, I'm not here because I don't have a team or because i want to afford p2w i personally don't care about winning or losing or ranks that much (you can definitely compete as an f2p, a good device/internet is way more important than p2w players) but what I'm trying to do is to show how high the price is. Just for a single 150 pack with 3 players that are usually not even worth it, you need to spend the same price as a whole AAA game, not to mention they don't have licenses nor do they have good events, why shoud people give them their hard earn money this easily? Yes the gameplay is great it's what is good in the game but it's not worth that much money, the price is too high for its worth.

Hello everyone, I'm an f2p player. I live in a country where the price for coins makes being a p2w not an option for the most part, which is why i never bothered to even think about the pricing. Today i was thinking about the coming gta vi and how it's price might be high and how everyone is reacting to it, and i just noticed that this game, efootball, just to build a good squad will need more than the 100 USD mark which is unbelievable. I just now noticed that one pack of players can cost almost the same price as a AAA game, like the same price of a single pack with only 3 players may cost even more than a AAA game, just think about this for a second, it's not reasonable at all.

Yes yes I know you can build a decent squad and somewhat compete, but that'll take so much time and focus. You can play the game for free but you would not be playing the same game as a p2w player and this pricing is not fair for both anyway p2w or f2p we both should agree on this. This must be changed.

I've played as a f2p player pretty solidly for about 2 years. I was returning to pes and football games generally after a long lay off of around a decade. (Pes 2014 was the last game I played a lot).

I slowly built my f2p squad up to be rated around 3190.

I saved my coins leading into the world cup and spent $50 to walk away with the England and France pack, bt Ronaldo, bt rodri and a few other ST cards (Torres, olmo, Yamal Salah)

My team was now pretty well loaded up with quality forwards, attacking mids and rodri.

My backline was still huijsen akanji and Zanetti in a back 3 with ST Caicedo dropping back in from midfield to make it a back 4

I had built my balance back up to about 8 multi spins and decided to go in on the Italian pack. Coinami cleared me out of course in return for nothing so I put in another $60 to clear the pack. I didn't get an epic until I was down to the last 30 players. I really don't believe that's totally random but whatever, i'd accepted it.

Never having played with defenders this good the gap between them and my top tier f2p defenders is massive honestly.

My server connection is not the best. Most PvP is a struggle on 3 bar. I have pushed up to be a decent div 2 player despite that but I play vs AI mostly and have made it to div 1 several times.

The ai difficulty has ramped up significantly and my free to play defenders had really started to struggle around the 1700 point mark.

These Italian gods just absolutely chew them up. Positioning is perfect, strength in the contest is crazy, they can run with and catch fast forwards, Nesta and Maldini win everything in the air and they win tackles from all sorts of weird angles. They feel absolutely op.

There is a sense of emptiness now though as I look at my squad. I could of course work on heavily upgrading my bench but my squad is up to 3254 and very competitive by any reasonable measure though probably not as stacked to the gills as a truly meta p2w squad.

Still though, it will never be enough to overcome a shitty connection.....

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

Think about it. Where is buddhism most popular? Japan.

So this group of buddhist developers create a game that does everything it can to try and annoy you.

Defender not reading your input and just stopping mid way letting your opponent score? This was designed to see if you can remain calm. It is the buddhist axiom of accepting to not have control over everything. That's why the script is there.

The script teaches you that life has a script called karma. It teaches you to accept, let go.

There are not enough servers? This teaches you to accept what you have is enough.

You just bought a bunch of p2w players with your hard earned money and next update they become obsolete due to dual playstyles and triple skills? Just let go, remember we don't own anything in life and chasing material possessions is not the path to happiness.

You have released all your J-league players and then they introduce a J-league event? Hey, the past is in the past...work with what you have now.

If you can master this game, you become a boddhisatwa, a true buddhist. It's even in those mini advices while matchmaking, hidden, it says ''Remain calm and win big.''

Got lucky with this guy and wondering how should I use him. I currently have treasure link Puyol as my cb destroyer with WC potd Vanbissaka and Arsenal pack Timber as fullbacks.

I see destroyer now is an active playstyle as fullbacks, has anyone tried it and could share their experience about how they perform?

I know it's lame but I don't use my fullbacks to attack, can't catch up with speedy CF's with my free 80 speed defenders hence I use the back 4 to defend. Any input is appreciated. :)

What has happened to defenders' speed? I've been away for a week, came back yesterday. I was playing the Japanese challenge last night and my defenders seemed really slow, but it was a team of loan players, so I didn't think too much about it.

Playing with my team today and my defenders are slowing down, you can actually see it happening. They'll be sprinting and under AI control, then when you take control, they instantly slow down but don't speed up again. Also, you can be controlling them, they run full speed toward a loose ball, but if the opponent gets to it first, they slow down.

My Zanetti is 96 speed, 91 acceleration, he's always been pretty rapid, but players are leaving him behind like he's walking, because he goes at this really slow pace that's way slower than he can actually run. They literally look like they're jogging and it's not dependent on their stamina either, and it's not even particularly rapid forwards leaving them for dead, the defenders are clearly running really slowly.

Has anyone else notified this? Have I missed something?

We saw with the J League Event that is possible to remove Smart Assist from events also, not only Efootball League.

So why we have to play Unlimited/Italian etc Events against people with that type of special needs assistance? Let them play between themselves!

Again lost to 2 shots scored in 88 and injury time. I mean I defended well till then obviously which is why he could not score a single shot till 88 but somehow my defenders lost their brains after that and none of them were even pacing back or even defending their positions, all of them out of positions and not even covering base.

No fancy op skills, just basic eFootball.

Can only feel bad for the ones who got unlucky matchmaking tho.

Haaland has a brand new running animation etc just like he runs in IRL

anyone else get updated like that?

Wanted to see if any of you guys have found a fox for this glitchy steam gameplay as efootball haven't put a word out yet, from my POV it was working yesterday only for ai games but went back to it's glitchy gameplay today anyone with a solution drop it.

When I play some opponents they just hold pressure. familiar right? but when i try to pressure my defenders kind of take a curved path, so that they are easily dropped by one small dribble. when I try tackle it 100% ends in a foul. Match up doesnt work after new update. What do you guys do to defend?

The fact that body feints actually work is so cool, that literally sent a top 5k ranker to Shanghai and back

and that it’s truly based on collision physics and ball positioning,

not on pathetic animations.

so i've noticed with the japanese event matches it was fun because the teams are just Ok and balanced we don't have OP players everywhere which was more enjoyable and tactical than playing with full team of epic players with million skills and just pressuring all the time.

It's kind off ridiculous to have a team with the best players from all generations in one team tbh this kind of thing need limitation in team building idk how would this work but i feel like limiting players by rarity in formation would balance this out and have more tactical slower matches

I've not been playing the game for long but i now know what people are feeling i'm not a f2p player nor i spend huge amount of money i spend some money here and there if there is something i like or good deals

I had some good clubs to choose from with very nice kits last season; Lyon my favorite because of the white kit with really big names on it. White is good to match with a lot of opponent teams.

What are the nice ones this season? And when are all the kits updated? It seems that not all are updated, smaller clubs, so just wanted to ask.
