eFootball 2022

About

eFootball 2022 is a soccer management and simulation game that leans into a free-to-play model. Built on Unreal Engine, it strips back the series’ traditional season-long progression for more bite-sized matches and online play. You control tactics and player actions in real time, with an emphasis on quickfire 3v3, 5v5, and 11v11 modes. The roster includes licensed leagues and teams, but progression often hinges on in-game purchases for upgrades and player cards. Single player options are limited compared to past entries, focusing more on exhibition matches and training. The game’s shift from the Pro Evolution Soccer branding signals a new direction for Konami. While some fans praise the updated visuals and faster online matchmaking, others miss the depth of career modes and offline seasons. Community feedback is split, some enjoy the lower barrier to entry and modernized systems, while others see it as a departure from the franchise’s roots. With cross-platform support across major consoles and PC, it remains a viable pick for casual soccer fans looking for competitive or co-op play.
