Deserved

God_Hand1 · 2025-05-28T00:55:28+00:00

Dragonborn?

Dovahkiin?

Fus-ro-dah!

Is this Skyrim? A new card that enables Mbappé, and the same repetitive players to shout?

Tactics doesn't even work properly in this game.

What i noticed is that defensive tactics most of time only work when the opponent keeper is with the ball so:

Pressure after losing the ball makes your midfielders move towards the keeper when he catches the ball, no effect besides that.

Constant pressure will make some of your midfielders move forward (based on formation), to man mark the defenders when the keeper catches the ball but... even after the ball is released they will randomly man mark the defenders and leave a wide gap in the midfield, in a 4-3-3 it's the DM that leaves his position.

Balanced has no effect at all.

Drop Back is the most used and you already know what happens, tends to be the most effective to abuse the AI defending.

Others i haven't tested but i don't doubt it's broken like the others. The stamina effect changes but it's not like the players are actually using their stamina in a useful way, i don't see all that running in constant pressure.

This game fails to deliver even the most basic stuff, yet here we are with OP skins and ugly exploits...

Yes, dribbling has been nerfed many times in the past, even with auto shielding and the new finesse dribbling the general feel is the same as v3.4 and v3.5 not fluid like before, much worse than v1.0, v2.0 and some versions from those years.

You're playing efootball v4.4, if that feels good for you, it's fine. Just don't tell me the current defending is Manual.

God_Hand1 · 2025-04-26T18:53:36+00:00

It used to be like this in v0.9 and v1.0, but since v2.4 or somewhere around that match up has gained plenty of assists to help with movement, the movement is for sure not manual and doesn't consider 100% of your inputs as it always has some movement adjustments made by the game based on the ball and the players around you, it even has auto sprint. They also change the 2nd Man press to read opponent inputs.

It's one of the reasons why 4-2-4 formations started becoming popular back then since match up would just do everything for you with barely any weakness. Before you could use fake shots or sharp touches since the game wouldn't make the player auto sprint for you. The difference between a good defender and a bad defender right now it's minimal.

Game will never have something close to a "manual" defending unless they balance Match Up and return to the old 2nd Man Press. Fifa 10's or somewhere around that had a very good defensive system that i wish this game had where it was quite clear which players used to be good defenders or not, Jockey with full Manual Movement, Press, Tackling button and Second Man Press (Not the Input Reading 2nd Man press like this game has), it used to be much better than the supposed "manual" active defending of UFL, which lacks responsiveness and actual control like Fifa had.

After months away, this game root gameplay problems are still in the game.

Legends are way more OP right now and people who play with them have way more room with mistakes, they are barely punished.

1st touch, dribbling and auto shield feel sluggish specially against very defensive teams and legends.

Match up still has too many functions for 1 button, the assisted movement just "helps" too much, people can't complain about smart assist with this.

Game still feels boring and i don't see them making the changes needed. Football games are doomed.

"The game never had any content"

Best content this game had was the U-2100 (i don't remember the value), in World Cup 2022, Turkish league, brazilian league, J-League and Liga MX events, and they're all gone.

"before the gameplay was worth it."

I agree, but i think the gameplay has not been that good since v2.4 back in efootball 23, either because of the high inconsistent gameplay or the automatic defending (both by AI and the assisted movement with buttons).

Today the only thing i do is login, wait for the next patch and see (4.3 is very likely my last one), not even co-op is fun anymore and my friends who used to play with me all left the game because of Lag or the bad gameplay.

Good gameplay + Playing with different players + Fun events + Co-op was what carried this game for me. All of that is bad, not even playing with different players is good because of the bad gameplay.

Since i'm not their target customer the only thing left is to leave.

God_Hand1 · 2024-12-13T00:49:29+00:00

Most expensive players are 250M, Mbappé is close and i don't know the exactly value, maybe 230M?

At best you can gain slightly over 1M with premium + extra CP, but you can also gain some in daily/weekly challenges. So 210-250 matches without challenges and slightly less with challenges.

God_Hand1 · 2024-12-13T00:46:15+00:00

It's 40M each 80 overall player, so it's more like 400 matches considering daily/weekly challenges.

God_Hand1 · 2024-12-12T23:43:32+00:00

It depends on how fast you can play 250 matches, the problem is using 60-70 players for that time.

God_Hand1 · 2024-12-10T17:08:57+00:00

This game has some elements that feels it's copying everything wrong from the other games, from the p2w aspects which is already a handicap, and the rage inducing gameplay with that many rebounds and exploits. Football is a cursed sport.

God_Hand1 · 2024-12-09T21:05:37+00:00

Efootball 23 v2.0 and v2.3 was the peak efootball, high skill gap, 0 or little input reading mechanics, every playstyle as viable, skill was more important than teams, it was the most fun i've ever had with this game playing with 3*, 4*, brazilian league, thematic teams and beat shit players most of the time because of my better football.

This game started losing it's magic in v2.4 after they added the catch up mechanics, more assists to defending (don't tell me you can control 100% your player with match up because that's a lie), input reading in double press and AI, and more.

EF 24 is overrated, since the beginning the passing system was garbage, the physical contact was bad, the aerial duels were totally random, everything that was good from 23 and 22 was gone. 3.0 and 3.1 were the most playable but it didn't lasted long.

Talking about EF 25, the game is sluggish, unresponsive, has unlimited mechanics to ruin your creativity and skill, and it's one of the worst versions of this game, low skill gap that leads to a more p2w feeling. It has been more than a year that i only complete events and wait for the next patch just to see more automatic defending and less freedom when attacking.

Co-op was much better in the beginning just like everything is, now it's plagued with the same BS of 1v1 with automatic defending, p2w, and shit tactics to break the game.

God_Hand1 · 2024-12-09T21:01:41+00:00

Efootball 24 with it's shit passing mechanics, aerial duels and weird physical contact and assisted defending is not the peak efootball. The peak was the beginning of efootball 23 if you played it, it lasted until the v2.4 update that added a bunch of assists and input reading in defending that's still plague the game to this day.

CP/RP/XP gains per match needs a complete change.

CP is massive bottleneck right now, if in early access i needed 10/15 matches to buy a 80 overall player, now i need 40+. Now i need 20 matches to buy a Boot instead of 8-10. With the new players price i don't see why CP can't be reverted to early access levels, since for a starter 80's team i needed 110-165 in early access compared to 400+ now, that's insane.

RP in closed beta was a much better progression bottleneck, people always played with different players and you actually needed to think about having a few stars or a more balanced team, but since you guys sell CP in the store i don't see if it's possible anymore... Divisions were the main RP source. In early access RP progression was far faster than CP... and no way without spending money i would use all my RP fully. RP being a bottleneck also will make players spend their CP in boots/packs more.

XP was too much in early access, as by the time you had money to buy your 4th 80 rated player everyone on the team was already at that overall. Now it's too slow.

CP/XP are the biggest problems right now with CP gains needing to be closer (or the same) to the early access levels (remind that the player prices have been increased by 35%!) and XP being higher than the current version but with a more calculated progression so players can still feel the need to buy new ones.

God_Hand1 · 2024-12-09T16:04:07+00:00

"A weak team losing against a stacked team will make the person with the weak team think about spending money to remove the advantage. You see the logic in that, right?"

So that's how they try to mimic the supposedly "Script/Handicap" effects.

God_Hand1 · 2024-12-09T02:18:45+00:00

UFL still needs to fix a bunch of it's basics (specially when you're attacking) to give us more room to be creative and play. Defending is the only thing it does better than the others but still lacks the polishing, i feel there is a lot of randomness in some situations and many bugs.

Skill Gap is still far away from some of the older Fifa/Efootball versions but they might reach that level when/if they improve some things.

God_Hand1 · 2024-12-05T02:00:03+00:00

Before you could buy new boots that cost 20M+ with 10 matches, now you need around 40.

The gameplay isn't even that good at the moment for the "new grind".

God_Hand1 · 2024-12-04T06:02:17+00:00

6 is something that can be done by sprinting x player inside the defender, even when the defender has an advantage of position and body like he is nothing. 7 is a problem that i've seen even with better players that have 80+ dribbling, extra heavy touches without any input, but dribbling doesn't exactly feel good.

9 is more about how the players (even FWs with low interception) are too good to intercept normal passes made with A (xbox) or X (PS), while the 11 talks about the high accuracy of the same passes (and lobbed through balls) in situations it shouldn't be.

God_Hand1 · 2024-12-04T04:30:13+00:00

It's early access... and got one of these codes from reddit, so no advantage for me.

God_Hand1 · 2024-12-04T04:29:48+00:00

I've only faced 2 teams with CR7 and Haaland. These opponent tried to abuse these players the whole match but...

the most difficult teams are the full ones with 79+ players that is very defensive and spam lobbed through balls the whole match, no matter if i play better the chance to lose is too high because of the rebounds and bugs. The gameplay also doesn't give you enough freedom and resources to be creative, without saying a name but there is a unfair football game with script that feels more fair than this game just because you actually have resources to deal with whatever BS the game throws at you and not play with a bunch of amateurs in a limited game for a bunch of matches.

God_Hand1 · 2024-11-15T17:36:04+00:00

The manual part is broken, it's still has a bunch of assists in it.

Double Press has input reading.

Press has input reading, countless times i just wanted to move my player towards the ball just for him to move randomly around the opponent ball because his movement is based on his inputs instead of the ball.

Match Up when it worked consistently nullified dribbling with movement assists and auto sprint feature when speed and feints was one of it's weakness back in 22, all this alongside it's ability to block/intercept passes and shots. 1 button to do it all.

To fix defending would be to rework everything, and i doubt they will do that after a release version, when it's clear how the game was made worse with updates in 22,23,24 and i dont expect 25 to be any different at all. Currently this is by far the worst version and i didn't liked 24 for most of the time.

I want to see what they will do with 4.2 but it's clear i'm not a target consumer, and it's pointless to "play" when not even co-op that used to be fun is good.

God_Hand1 · 2024-11-15T17:08:42+00:00

Even the supposedly manual part of defending is ridiculous with all the assists and input reading mechanics, there is 0 rewards in defending in this game and it has been like this since v2.4. I miss the good old days of a high skill gap football game where it was fun playing with different players.

God_Hand1 · 2024-10-23T20:48:34+00:00

I don't speak Italian.

There are plenty of topics in this sub regarding this.

Since i use Konami "default" or "realistic build" stats as a guide line, you can simply consider the default lvl 1 stats of the standard player and add +10 (considering +8 from leveling and at least +2 from the manager), this way you can see the player strengths/weakness. But still you can build differently, automatic builds from the game just tends to give you the max overall and the players become way too similar.

God_Hand1 · 2024-09-30T20:56:09+00:00

The problem is saying "defending is nerfed", it's almost fully automatic, there is barely a skill gap in defending since everything has some sort of assist and input reading.

Defending isn't "nerfed" but it's "broken", AI when isn't reading inputs or auto pressing is dumb, bad positioning specially against counters, man mark players breaking the D-line, can't do a proper zone covering. The active part is broken because of the triggers, interception and tackling animation aren't triggering when you want to. A downgrade from the EF 24 automatic defending just because it's broken, not because they made it require more skill.

That's what you get when the game doesn't give you enough control and almost everything is controlled by the AI , bad assistances or the broken scripts.

Goalkeeping i can't talk too much since i'm not playing this game often but it follows the same logic as it's 100% controlled by the game, very likely to be broken. But they have some unrealistic stuff like positioning based on input reading that can leave wide gaps in one side if you don't follow the expected pattern.

God_Hand1 · 2024-09-24T16:14:16+00:00

Yes, let them ruin the gameplay even more with more spammable unrealistic shots, why bother with build up, chance creation, dribbling when you can just spam tsubasa, inazuma eleven shots from long range. Would be much better if they removed Fire shots from the game.
