And looking at screenshots, we can understand why.
Konami’s PES replacement eFootball 2022 is tanking it, currently ranked at the worst-rated game on Steam.
Looking at a giant gallery of screenshots on Steam, it’s rather easy to see why.
Do we begin with multiple images of referees being reclaimed by the pitch? How about nightmare fuel facial animations? Or do we just run with horrific neck twists or stretchy limbs that would make Street Fighter‘s Dhalsim proud?
Let’s just run with the lot.
The game’s state of affairs is so bad it’s already taken the number one spot on a website that’s tracked Steam rankings since 2017.
Konami has taken to Twitter in light of fan reaction, offering an apology for the state of the newly released free-to-play title.
“We have received lots of feedback and requests regarding game balance that includes pass speed and defence operation,” Konami’s statement began, wholly missing the mark.
“We would also like to acknowledge that there have been reports of problems users have experiecned with cut-scenes, facial expressions, movements of players and the behaviour of the ball,” it continued.
“We are very sorry for the problems, and want to assure everyone we will take all concerns seriously and and strive to improve the current situation.”
eFootball is available Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS5, iOS and Android devices.
