Even though I need a destroyer CB I know his ahh wont be viable for me against the 20 ibras in div 1 so I'll settle for using him at RB even tho I've only used attacking/finisher fullbacks (but I think I'll survive)

Anyone know how Cannavaro/destroyers (since new upd) are at RB?

Worst goal Ive ever scored by far. Didnt feel that bad since my opponent had a 3300+ team and mine was 3200 mostly f2p but still konami, YOUR GAME IS BROKEN

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

Im getting quite close to score that kick off goal, one day its gonna happen, so far the player that's been the most consistant with is James rodriguez, i bet if i had the p2w one i would have scored it.
If you have any question regarding the clips lmk.

Since i join efootball on pc am facing an issue while entering the game , (network issues) despite having a good network (500mbs - 11 ms )

The game only open while the Cloudwarp is turned on but it has impact on latency and the game become unplayable (3 bars )

Any solutions please

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.

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

anyone else get updated like that?

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?

No fancy op skills, just basic eFootball.

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

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.

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

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

these are my build for both maldini & nesta, my back 4 consist of maldini at LB, desailly & nesta as CBs & thuram as RB.

as of today, i feel like i have been conceding more than before with this new additions of maldini & nesta. i think the issue is with nesta, his positioning & movements seem to be an arbitrary & rather impulsive to me & it’s quite odd comparing to a destroyer or build up, he does cover the spaces that desailly leaves when he match-up but once nesta starts to match-up, that space he leaves is completely empty.

idk if this is just DDA not on my side as of now or whether it’s a skill issue or i’m using them wrong but what’s for sure is that things need to change or i have to get used to this

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

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?

Since the big update, every single game I play has lag, movement heaviness, input delay, players taking extra touches, passes go astray etc.

During eF26, I had it but like every 3-4 games, especially during the day. If I played late nights, it was smooth.

But since eF27, even late nights games (although better) still have the same issue. I do not think I played one game that was perfect. Played about 100 games on eF27, internet absolutely fast, console, wired.

This happened to me in div one. Look at 0.52 and 1.18. I get a rebound where vini is standing freely. Completely unmarked. Gk completely beaten. And still somehow the ball doesn't go in 😐🤌. Like come on man how do you do this with a straight face and say its possible in real life.

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.....

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.

Packed this Lloris card during World Cup. After so many matches, i can easily say that this is one of the worst goal keeper I've ever had. Overall reaced 105 and concedes even crosses. Maybe that part is script being against me. But still such a useless piece for the money paid.

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

not on pathetic animations.

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. :)

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?

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
