The update 1.0 of Efootball 2022 is worth it?

It is not a secret that _ Efootball 2022 , the Konami PES successor, had a disastrous start. Not even the negative attention he received _cyberpunk 2077 at the time compares with the contempt and disappointment that the community had for the new football game last year. However, the developers were not happy with this perception. In this way, during the last few months have been working to offer the experience they originally promised. This is why this week is finally updated 1.0, with which Efootball 2022 leaves the beta phase, adds new content, and prepares to begin the first of many seasons.

Last week, some of the changes that will come with the new update were revealed, and I also had the opportunity to talk with the representatives of the game in our region, as well as play a couple of matches with the improvements of version 1.0 already implemented. Regarding his gameplay, the biggest changes present are the return of the double press, the movement of players that release the ball and shots, passes and places placed. In this sense, the possibility of dictating a player who is not controlling, that is going to steal the opponent's ball. Now, there is a bar that is activated by pressing the right trigger, with which you are able to measure the force of the pass and long shot, although the option of doing automatically, without your intervention, follows.

In this sense, more than radically changing the gameplay, efootball 2022 now offers the experience that was expected from the beginning, one that resembles FIFA a lot, but has the unique elements of Pes that have adored the fans for years. Next to this, the update corrects an endless Bugs and visual errors. Konami demonstrates a greater dominion over the Unreal Engine, and the horrible faces that starred in the nightmares of many have come to an end. In the games I had the opportunity to play, at no time did a player have a frightening expression, nor the physics disappeared completely.

Along with these changes, version 1.0 introduces the Dream Team, which, in its concept, is very similar to FIFA Ultimate Team. Here players will have the opportunity to create teams composed by all the players who wish, without having equipment restrictions. Each character can be achieved by means of points of play, which are obtained by playing in Multiplayer mode, and by fulfilling different challenges that will be available over a season, which lasts two months. While it is not talked about Loot Boxes, at least so far, it is mentioned by microtransractions. However, Robbye Ron, representative of the brand in Latin America, told me that the distribution between the prices and the amount of money you get is focused so that a person can get everything he wants to play constantly, although there is always the option to open the wallet.

Along with this, the relationship between Konami and the MX League is still standing, it is only that they still need work to have everything in order, so play with the Chivas, Pumas or America will not yet be possible in the first season, but this It will change in the future. What it does come with the 1.0 update, are new states and additional options for all the teams that were already present.

So, is it worth entering efootball 2022 with the update 1.0? If you are a fan of soccer games, the answer is yes. That version corrects many of the errors that have plagued this delivery for months and, little by little, it will be able to recover the trust that many lost to the series, however, for a casual player, it is likely that new mechanics are something that I can not differentiate from the most recent delivery of FIFA. Version 1.0 reaches efootball 2022 on April 14. You can learn more about this game here.
