Description:
Konamis eFootball 2022 is off to a rough start, with players reporting numerous glitches and a lack of polish.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Konamis eFootball 2022 the free-to-play soccer sim that was formally known
as Pro Evolution Soccer, or PES for short is now available to download on
PS4 , PS5 , Xbox One , Xbox Series X /S, and PC.

However, it hasnt garnered the greatest reception with players.

eFootball 2022 hasnt even been out 24 hours, but that hasnt stopped it from getting absolutely mullered online due to the game's horrendous glitches, bizarre physics, and truly terrifying-looking player likenesses.

Here we see players sliding around, as if by magic. You play Fifa!? Ugh, doesn't that have sliding?! Konami: hold my beer! Hahahaha!!! First game I played. This is without exaggeration one of the worst attemts at a game of
any genre on any gen, ever! My my my.. #PS5Share, #eFootball2022 pic.twitter.com/j7wrCwhnfg September 30, 2021 See more

But Twitter isnt the only indicator that eFootball 2022 isnt impressing footy enthusiasts. The game has an Overwhelming Negative review score on Steam
after amassing 4,368 reviews at the time of writing, making it the
worst-rated video game in the history of Steam according to Steam250 . eFootball 2022 is already the lowest rated game on Steam, with only 8% of people giving it a positive review. #eFootball2022 pic.twitter.com/K0RozvEsDD September 30, 2021 See more Analysis: theres still time to make things right (Image credit: Konami)

Just like Arsenals pitiful start to the 21/22 Premier League season, Konami can still turn things around with eFootball 2022. The publisher has already admitted that the games launch would basically serve as a demo , and more updates and changes are planned in the near future as the game evolves.

However, you cant help but wonder how the game has been released in such a state considering the team took an extra year of development time. Compare eFootball 2022 to EA's FIFA 22 , which has been fairly well-received (microtransactions aside), it seems like Konami's soccer sim is already fighting an uphill battle.

"Alexa, play 'Things can only get better' by D:ream." PS5 vs Xbox Series X : what's the difference?
