Synopsis

Players will be able to control how hard the ball is struck as well as determine dribbling speed; from a kick-off to a full sprint, just like in real football. Additionally, on PlayStation5, eFootball will use haptic feedback and adaptive controller triggers to feel the difference in player movements. With greater freedom to control how the player will trap the ball, every play becomes a game of wits. A wide range of dribbles and body feints are also available with intuitive controls. Together, these elements ensure that each duel provides an exciting time for both attacker and defender.

Players can block their opponent's shot by throwing their body or reading the kick and cutting off the pass. Naturally, stealing the ball near the opponent's goal creates a great scoring opportunity. eFootball recreates the “physical defense” so important in real football with charge command when defending. Additionally, the offensive team can also use their body to keep the ball in play, making offensive and defensive play more dynamic.

An option to load a “lively kick”, complemented by new animations, will make the game even more technical and exciting. Players will be able to perform special kicks, such as sharp crosses, quick passes and upward shots. These new actions take longer to execute, so players will need to choose the right opportunities during a match.

The eFootball development team analyzed real-world football tactics to create a new set of “1v1” win/lose rules. Using Motion Matching technology, the game evaluates the ball, movement speed, body direction, physical ability and more in real time to affect each player's movement. These win/lose rules work in tandem with player movements to make the game more compelling, including foul decisions, which have been reworked.

Team playstyles are an essential part of soccer, so the AI ​​controlling off-ball players has been overhauled. Combining this with the new attack and defense controls will give players much more freedom to play how they want. The new “Duel” camera zooms in when the player is in a 1v1 situation, allowing the player to enjoy the 1v1 scene up close. When the player is in a free situation, the field of vision widens, allowing him to send a long pass at the right time. The new Motion Matching animation system creates much more natural and fluid player movements. Additionally, ball movement has seen further improvements thanks to a partnership with a research institute. Finally, the action never stops during a match, thanks to the Seamless Restart system.
