Breaking down defences is often about finding your inner pausa and waiting for the best time to play the ball, although Konami promises plenty of tactical flexibility if you’d rather summon your inner Big Sam and chase those POMOs.
Changes in pace – or even coming to a complete stop – can be particularly effective, allowing team mates to catch up with play, make penetrating runs and find space to receive a pass. To help, you can hold the right trigger to put a bit more oomph into any passes or shots, but doing so will affect accuracy, particularly if off-balance or hitting it first time.Įven small movements of the left stick now seem to translate into the game, which gives you a real sense of control when it comes to manipulating the ball and trying to beat opposition players – something that often felt almost impossible in eFootball PES 2021. The pace of the game feels far more realistic, with plenty of power needed to complete even fairly routine passes successfully. Konami has switched to Epic Games’ Unreal Engine to power eFootball 2022, which makes it feel looser and more organic than its slightly constricted predecessor, with a much more natural rhythm than the end-to-end goalfests that you so often get on FIFA 21. And while the PS5 version we played at a 90-minute hands-on preview event was a little further down the development path than what will be made available to download, it still only had the same nine teams available for selection: Manchester United, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Arsenal, River Plate, Flamengo, Corinthians and their neighbours Sao Paulo. When eFootball 2022 is released on September 30 – a day before FIFA 22 hits the shelves – it’ll be little more than a taster of what’s to come. It’s a clear effort to tempt some FIFA players into jumping ship, but parts of Konami’s approach suggest eFootball still has a tough task ahead of it. Instead, its core modes will be playable for free, while others, including the series’ legendary Master League, will be made available through DLC. Players who have it possess an innate sense of the perfect time to play the ball – and Konami’s eFootball, the series formerly known as PES, hopes it has found the perfect time to try something new: going completely free-to-play.Īs well as being the first to be developed for the new generation of consoles, eFootball 2022 will have no full-priced boxed copy available to buy.
There’s a Spanish term used in elite-level football called pausa.
