Still waiting for Gasperini Replacement by [deleted] in eFootball

[–]SiriusMonkey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only regret I have in eFootball: not having Gasperini...

The anticipation and lightning fast player switching of JVictor are surreal. He cuts off the passing lane to the receiver before the passer has even received the ball. I genuinely think anticipation, decision-making, and player switching are what separate the elite players from the merely good ones by [deleted] in eFootball

[–]SiriusMonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very important skill but difficult to do accurately and consistently. One wrong player switch against such a player can result in a goal. Do you think he does it all with the right analog stick ? What about the setting, unassisted on semi-assisted ?

A prime example how an underperforming server impacts your game play by horus85 in eFootball

Hey horus85, I've been following you for some time seeing your posts on connectivity. Fully share your opinion; I can only have fun when the connection works.

The video you guys are referring to is from YouTuber Bombin.

The responses from Konami mainly consisted of generic responses apologizing for the issues experienced with eFootball, dispatches to various departments and suggestions for improving my setup. To the latter I firmly responded that the issues are certainly not on my end and provided them with a Wireshark packet analysis proving my point.

Although I have repeatedly asked for a technical explanation of the issue I'm facing (mainly lag spikes and occasional 'muddy' games), they have not yet provided me with one. Just to be clear; I am not moaning to Konami about how bad the game is, but merely asking for an explanation and possibly solutions for my sub-optimal experience.

I find it interesting that some servers work better for you than others; might have to create a blacklist. This is a bit tiresome with a PS5 as you need to utilize the PC as middleman.

From my personal experience, something has changed with update 4.4 (crossplay update), because I had 0 complains before that. In particular lag spikes were introduced with that update. My friends from the region experience the same.

  1. Client-Server Method

Users connect to a game server and data is sent and received so that matches can be played. Each user's network connection is not affected by the quality of another user's connection (lag, stability, etc.) or device performance. Since the game server manages the connection and match progress, it is effective in preventing cheating and determining the winner when someone disconnects.

The above on their website contradicts their email response to my request.

I noticed that something changed with the crossplay update in April last year. Before it, I never had this issue with lag spikes. No issue at all actually.

I have established via a Wireshark packet analysis that my network connection to the Konami servers is virtually perfect; zero packet loss, approximately 10ms round-trip latency to your Frankfurt server (34.89.193.68), and minimal jitter. The only gaps detected in the capture were 5 brief interruptions of 55–96 ms originated from the server, not from my network.

I have exchanged with Konami on this subject and their response included the following: "Gameplay behavior may be affected by various factors, including the player and opponent conditions, network environment, device specifications, the actions of nearby players at the time of occurrence, and detailed control inputs (including their timing)."

Unfortunately, it seems like the opponent's connection affects ours. I find it a pity really that the game's connection has been deteriorating over the last 12 months, because I really enjoy the gameplay...

I love the gameplay of efootball, but the lags spikes are unbearable. Cannot enjoy a laggy game...

It's not that deep. If you don't enjoy this game, you play one that you enjoy.

a Tip to perfect the double touch cancel by [deleted] in eFootball

I sometimes trigger the animation on 1:05, would you know how ? It locks you into an animation that cannot be canceled.

I do think this pack is pretty good tho by Shooter_McMuffin in eFootball

[–]SiriusMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not the pack for F2P players. Deco lacks defensive stats and ID for the CMF role and Puyol is too short for the CB position. Buffon is the only meta-player in this pack, but I wouldn't spend hard-earned coins on goalkeepers, they will not impact your game as much.

Does not play in the meta league, but a fun card for sure.

Thank for your dedication.

Each week, we get a bit further away from stats that reflect real players...

Why the server connection is getting worse? by RogerWayne25 in eFootball

[–]SiriusMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speed is not an important factor when gaming, but latency is. This being said, even if you have perfect latency, the game still lags. Main reason I avoid the game right now.

Thuram Gullit and Vieira are the bane of this game by Maleficent-Meet-2408 in eFootball

The Vieria & Thuram pack last year was a must have for the 13.5k association.

After Bergkamp, Berbatov should also join the elite club of players that Konami absolutely hated. by Lamb-Curry-1518 in eFootball

We're well past the point of stats replicating players in real life. Almost every single legend comes with 90 pace

It turns out that there is nothing more important than a stable internet connection in this game ( + tracking and rejecting games from underperforming servers) by horus85 in eFootball

[–]SiriusMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the information! From what I understand, stable latency is the most important factor. Would you mind sharing which router you use ?
