eFootball PES 2022
eFootball 2022 Patch 1.0.0 Available Today
Published on
Six months since its tumultuous release, Konami has finally announced April 14 as the release date for their eFootball 2022 patch 1.0.0. The team is promising plenty of improvements for defense, passing, shooting trajectories, dribbling and more. Check out the bullet points below and read the blog here.
UPDATE: (4-14) Today’s the day. eFootball 2022 patch 1.0.0 is available now.
Defense
- Pressure: Regain possession by applying pressure to the opposing ball holder.
- Match-up: Jockey the opposing dribbler with a lowered stance and finer steps. This is also effective for blocking passes and shots.
- Shoulder Charge: Win the ball back by barging your shoulder against the opposing player. Especially effective when the opponent has touched the ball far from his foot or is trying to trap the ball.
Team defending has been improved with the implementation of “Call for Pressure”. On top of having several players going for the ball, other teammates will also work in tandem to regain possession by blocking passing lanes as well as pushing up the defensive line.
Passing
- Pass speed has been increased so that the pace of the game matches with the aforementioned defense-related improvements.
- A new mechanism has been added utilizing the rebound of the ball as a force of acceleration. This will be useful, for example, when performing one-touch passes, as the ball speed will increase due to this mechanism. The result of all these changes is a “rhythmic passing game”, which is an important element in modern-day soccer.
- Improved targeting decisions for passes
- Improved AI decision-making when receiving passes
- Improved movements when receiving passes
- “Stunning Pass” has been added allowing you to kick the ball with various special trajectories.
Shooting Trajectories
- Improved shooting speed with a focus on realism and satisfaction
- Adjusted the rate of on-target shots to appropriately reflect match circumstances
- A wide range of shot variations and trajectories for each situation have been added, such as the “Stunning Shot” allowing you to experience a variety of realistic goal-scoring scenes.
Dribbling
- Better ball tracking accuracy and response to L Stick inputs
- Improved response to Dash inputs
- Improved response and ball behaviors for the new “Sharp Touch” command have been added, along with simpler feint inputs.
Additional Features
- Additional features such as “Formation Change”, “Individual Instructions”, “Auto Select”, “Sub-tactic”, “Data Management”
- Improved processing load for better responsiveness
Switching to a new engine and development probably being hampered for most of 2020, they could have easily delayed eFootballs' release and people probably would have been okay with that.
Everything mentioned in the coming update should be standard in any modern football game from the jump. Aside from making the most basic upgrades they fail to mention if this is just another demo. If we can't play with all teams, or change the time of day or length of a match offline what's the point.
I'll try it because it's free but I'm not optimistic.

Can't wait to play as MJ and Magic in that Dream Team mode.
Putting ML, BAL, tournament, edit mode aside for now I could have enjoyed a customizable exhibition mode. I've spent most of second go a around with PES 21 playing one off games while waiting for patch updates so i could have done that with eFootball but sadly we don't even get that option..
Guess we'll revisit the game in another 7 months when they've added something else minor for what probably will then be called eFootball 23.

So what happened to all the Serie A exclusives they took from FIFA? I just want to play offline as Napoli. Will they ever be available?
You can use the licensed teams online in the Dream Team mode but you can still have only use the same 9 or so teams from the launch vs the AI.
I read there’s somewhat of a workaround involving the training match inside of Dream Team but I personally haven’t tried it yet.

Can you play online with friends on your friends list online or no? If so, when is that coming?
This whole roll-out of the franchise I so dearly loved has been an awful and terrible mess...
They are really handicapping themselves by not have a proper "friendly" offline mode. Even without BAL, ML or an edit mode I think the game would get a lot more people on board to try it out that way. I assume they are trying to force people to play Dream Team, by locking offline to only 9 teams and 5 minute matches. Also the MLS gets the knockoff team treatment now with a full league of fake teams.
Also played on both PS5 and PC. Either my PC can't handle it or it's just poorly optimized for PC. Ran great on the PS5 though.
Many people have posted positive impressions regarding the newer 1.0 version but so far I’m not leaning that way at all. There is potential, no doubt about it but on both platforms, imho the gameplay seems so labored. Player reactions are slow and as always, player switching is awful again. I currently have it set to semi assisted for switching and honestly it takes half a second to switch when input. Doesn’t sound a long time but in this context, it is. Defending is certainly a new learning curve and as of now, I’ve played 20+ games on Top Player and Professional and have yet to win a game! I’ve drawn a few and dominated games with lots of shots on target, but the defending changes regards button commands and the awful player switching are the main reasons. I shall persevere but PES 2021 season update on PC will remain my go to game.

dream team > FUT imo
by the way when eFootball first released I deleted it the same day I downloaded and played it. it was that bad. this time it's much different.. I'm hooked and loving dream team at the moment. the addicting gameplay reminds me of times I use to stay up all night at friends house playing PES 5 or PE6. this is first footie game since those times that give that experience again
I will say for those who are only use to play PES offline only.. you might want to give the latest eFootball a try again and you can enjoy playing Dream team against AI and other humans and might surprise you how great that experience is compared to what your use to in offline only.
here are some videos of my dream starting in D 10 to D 5 promotion sat night.. this is on PS4. I hear this game is even better on PS5 but i'm loving it on PS4
