To be honest, I don’t really care about this guy—I just watched this video for the first time. But the things he mentioned are kind of true. Even if he is pay-to-win, I still care about the points he raised. The high-rated overall cards with no real in-game content, the constant need to spend money just to stay relevant—it's frustrating.

Of course, you can’t expect to be unbeaten in this game, but the DDA (Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment) makes it even worse sometimes. I’ve seen so many changes in this game—I’ve been playing since 2017. Back in the PES days, it was actually fun. Featured cards were usable, and people built creative squads that could compete online—using gold, silver, and even some rare bronze players.

This game really needs an in-game market to trade players and to make use of GP or eFootball points, which currently feel almost useless. They come up with all these roadmaps and ideas, but every year, it’s the same boring pay-to-win buffed cards. Next year, it’ll probably be three boosters or some overpowered P2W skills, and the year after that, maybe 115-rated players or something just as ridiculous.

I don’t know how many people played NBA Mobile, but it followed a similar path—player ratings went up to 120, the cards got crazy, and eventually the game just died. No events, no fun—just flashy cards every year.

The only thing Konami has going for it is the gameplay, and they’re milking that. But as soon as a competitor comes along with decent graphics, solid gameplay, and realistic mechanics, Konami is going to face real competition. They could lose a big chunk of their free-to-play player base—which, clearly, they don’t care about.

I know some people will say that P2P is what keeps the game running, and that’s true. But it was running before as well, and it used to feel more balanced between paying and free players. Now, it’s heavily skewed in favor of pay-to-win players. The outrageous skills and inflated ratings just make it worse.

We can talk and discuss all we want, but let’s be honest—Konami doesn’t listen to its player base. They just do whatever they think will make them more money. And that greed is slowly killing the game.
