After Efootball Announcement: Konami wants fans appease - PES

Muts PES to a mobile game full of microtransaktions with mediocre graphic and without master league? After the first information on Efootball, numerous community members feared this outcome. They saw a rejection in the revolution planned by Konami and expressed their displeasure on social media.

The cause of their worries was the poor communication in the announcement of Efootball. Konami threw with CrossSplay and free-to-play although interesting keywords in the ring, but revealed only a few details. With a Q & A, ie "question and answer", on 2 August the developer now tried to bring a little light into the dark and smooth the waves.

Mobile worries unjustified?

Nine questions comprises the Q & A overall, the answers are hardly held. The mobile problem is addressed directly at the beginning: Konami underlines that EFOOTBall is developed primarily for consoles and "hardware possibilities of each supported device are fully exploited". In addition, the Next-Gen graphics are not downgraded to consoles to adapt to the mobile version, but otherwise.

Both statements make the fans hope, but do not guarantee a good game yet. Especially since many fans on social media reacted skeptically to the answers. They are not completely convinced.

Demo, CrossSplay and master league

A concern confirmed Konami in Q & A even: The release version in the early autumn is quasi a demo with limited number of modes and clubs. Which exactly, the developer wants to announce at a later date. Micro transactions does not contain, on the other hand, local encounters. A first test of the gameplay is thus easily possible.

For the topic CrossSplay, however, the all-clear was done: Each player can restrict the matchmaking whether he wants to compete against competitors of other consoles - even Mobile -. Regarding the master league, Konami repeated only that they will appear as a premium content - date unknown. The Edit mode is retained on PlayStation and PC. At team creation mode - successor to myClub - agents are becoming more important. The players should also be available via a free or paid passport.

Whether Konami could eliminate with this information at least the greatest concerns of the community remains questionable. For in addition to a few well-sounding words, the Q & A does not contain too many new facts. Further transparent communication will probably be necessary to recover the angry part of the fans.
