Konami today took to Twitter to share its plans for the future of PES’ maligned replacement, eFootball, and it looks like what few fans the game has managed to find since it hit full release back in April are in for a long year.However you feel about eFootball’s on-pitch action, one of the free-to-play sports game’s key failures is its lack of content. While Konami has now laid out a loose roadmap for addressing that shortcoming, it’s likely to end up being too little, too late for a lot of players.When is Master League coming to eFootball 2022?The earliest addition isn’t due until “after summer 2022,” and looks to be simply a custom lobby option for setting up Dream Team matches. Other free updates mentioned in the Twitter thread include “some editing options” (winter 2022), cross-play between console and PC (also winter 2022), and… oh, that’s it. As for paid stuff, additional club and national teams will be added as paid DLC “by the end of 2022,” while Master League — the career mode that always sat at the heart of the PES games — is now set to be added to eFootball as a paid update sometime in 2023. Responses have been understandably a little on the unhappy side, both at the timeframes laid out (Master League arriving two seasons late isn’t ideal) and at some of the things that aren’t mentioned, such as online co-op or any moves to address the dearth of modes and teams without forking out cash. Despite being a quick and easy completion, eFootball 2022 sits on the bench with a shocking 1.67/5 user rating here on TA, and this rather bleak slate doesn’t make it seem like it’s going to get much better any time soon.Anyone still playing this? Would you go back to it if Konami added more eFootball 2022 achievements? Any fellow recovered Master League addicts out there? Let us know!
