eFootball (previously referred to as Pro Evolution Soccer and also Winning Eleven in Japan) is a collection of association football simulation computer game developed and also released by Konami because 1995. It contains eighteen primary instalments and a number of spin-off style titles that have been released on numerous different systems. The collection has actually continually attained essential as well as business success. eFootball has likewise been utilized in esports. eFootball.Open (formerly called PES Globe Finals or PES Organization) is the esports world champion held by Konami each year considering that 2010. In association football circles, eFootball has a longstanding competition with EA s FIFA collection. eFootball is the 2nd largest association football video game franchise business after FIFA, with the rivalry between both franchises thought about the biggest rivalry in the background of sports video games. Noted as one of the best-selling computer game franchises, the eFootball collection has offered 111 million duplicates worldwide, in enhancement to 400 million mobile game downloads, since December 2020. Konami also created a similar mobile game called PESCM or Pro Evolution Soccer Club Supervisor.
New name, new free-to-play model: With these announcements Konamis Efootball (formerly known as Pro Evolution Soccer) made this summer for swirls in the virtual football scene. The competition countered with a daring maneuver: In FIFA 22 everything is like it is! So more or less. EA SPORTS has again decided this year for a classic full version without great experiments. In terms of content, of course, a lot has happened.
The central game modes of the EA-Kickers were given some new features. In addition, on Next-Gen consoles and Google Stadia, of course, is still the large-tiant hypermotion technology, which should provide even more fluid feeling. Fact or only marketing girs? We have undergone the title to a comprehensive test!

A feast for career fans?
Above all, offline players may look forward to a few changes this year, especially in career mode. Here the developers introduce the new Create Your Club feature. So you can now create your own club and conquer the footballing world lit with him. The adaptation options are surprisingly extensive: You can not only choose a nickname for your club, set a league rival or collect your own stadium. There are also a series of jerseys and coats of arms of different colors and shapes that can personalize and combine them at will. That s basically pretty handsome. Unfortunately, the editor is not possible to replenish a real club. Just miss the necessary details. There are only prefabricated logos that look pretty generic. In addition, your players always run on the chest without main sponsor. The jerseys have a little naked .

Here you have the choice, if you prefer to compete with Youngsters or Routinians, with circular-class kickers or born champions. In this information, a team is then generated for you. EA Sports uses an exciting system: your team composition is based on real statistics. If, for example, the average third-league squad is 90 percent from German players, to three percent from Turks and two percent French, then these nationalities are also represented in a similar level in your club.
If you do not agree with your selection, you can recreate them again. Then all your players get new values and properties. Customize your kicker but unfortunately not. For example, anyone who wants to build the FC Computec around his dangerous storm tip Dörre-Lohmüller, who looks stupid in the tube.
Outputs and accesses
FIFA 22 in the test: What can the football simulation of EA SPORTS? (9) Source: PC Games annoying is that out of the Create Your Club did not have too much on the coaching career. The menus are still the same, content and functions remained too large unchanged. Of course that was so expelled a little. Until EA Sports features features such as sponsoring, staff management or arena expansion, it will probably take forever. But that it does not have made small things like a repurchase clause in transfer negotiations or an additional increase in the transfer budget in the game, somehow something is lustless.
Thus, the largest update remains that you will continue to start in the Indian Super League or the Ufa Conference League. In addition, clubs such as Apoel Nikosia or Hajduk Split were added to the bid. On the other hand, FIFA 22 has 22 (Buy Now 59.99 € / 53.99 €) with Lazio Rome and Atalanta Bergamo lost two more clubs on competitor Efootball. In terms of national teams, the shrinkage is even greater: here it has caught numerous well-known representatives such as South Africa or Uruguay. Of the just 32 national teams in the game, only eight pieces do not come from Europe. That will probably be a pretty unilateral world championship ...
The beautiful game
After all, in terms of staging is little complicating. FIFA 22 looks chic, even if you have to seek the sparse upgrades of the frostbite engine with the magnifying glass: instead of graphic revolution, there are a few detail improvements on Next-Gen consoles. Players act away from the ball of a little human, show emotions or gesturing wild through the area. Especially with skin and hair genuine world stars like MB caps or de Bruyne come to the zoom in fascinating details. Of course you have to ask yourself what added value that actually has. How often do you already think of a game to get the players on the grass ...
FIFA 22 in the test: What can the football simulation of EA SPORTS? (7) Source: PC Games significantly more exciting are already the improvements in the matchday presentation: There are additional cutscenes before the game, more realistic torn networks, extensive post-match statistics and the latest transmission packages. So almost everything looks like on TV! Even the commentators have been missed again slightly. Wolff Fuss and Frank Buschmann now have individual dialog lines for the milestones of your career.
The star I am
Of course, this does not only apply to the coaches, but also the player career, which EA SPORTS also missed a new painting. The most well-known changes include the fact that your Virtual Pro will continue to intervene from the bank in the future. Especially at the beginning you have to satisfy you with a role as a reserve and slowly develop the manager s confidence with good training services and Joker missions.
Crops develop: The growth of your avatars was also adjusted again. In FIFA 22, your attributes only improve if you actively skill points invested in them. The is available for Level climbs that unlocks your matched matches for played matches and fulfilled Ingame destinations. The problem: At some point you have reached the Maximum Level 25, then is over. Further ranks after this cap does not exist, the development of your Pros is thus capped to a total value of about 90. Stupid. There are also other strange design decisions that have already annoyed in previous offshoots: Your trainer like to put you on the wrong position, when creating your Avatars are still no tattoos to choose from (although it has long been in Volta gives!), You can not negotiate new contracts or even decide on a club change. She just asks a transfer and then hope that a decent bid is cleansing - just as the last years already. FIFA 22 in the test: What can the football simulation of EA SPORTS? (6) Source: PC Games In our career, we also came to us a number of skurred bugs at: As a player of the 1997 vintage we were in Game suddenly 36 years old and stood just before retirement. The overview screen to the match destinations remained visible during the 90 minutes on the court. Through a funny blur effect, the game events on the lawn partly strongly blurred and poorly visible. In such technical problems, the few playful improvements make no difference anymore.
Hype about Hypermotion
But enough dwelled, the truth is known to be on the square. And here FIFA 22 has allegedly a real Gamechanger parat with Hypermotion technology. The mix of advanced Motion Capture and Machine Learning should ensure a clear more fluent, but also challenging feeling. And he actually does that, if in a manageable measure. The transitions between individual animations now run seamlessly, balloans and direction changes are smoother. The movements on the square are simply more authentic.
FIFA 22 in the test: What can the football simulation of EA SPORTS? (2) Source: PC Games This is then noticeable on the Gamepad. Bead balls work well thanks to revised animations. Large gourmet stations of the type Peter Crouch have finally reinstate. So fails with flanks! The motion repertoire of the goalkeeper was also expanded, which allows again more spectacular parades. Your keepers fly partly majestically through the penalty area and refuse seemingly untenable balls. For this they still show yourself quite prone to shots on the short post and let balls like to clap only instead of holding them.
Auspices are a true danger in FIFA 22, especially for higher levels of difficulty, where the Ki is extremely ripped off. If you leave the CPU too much space, you will give you one or the other dream gate from outside the penalty area. So fits well in the defensive and get familiar with the most important gameplay updates as soon as possible: With a pressure on the R3 button, you will receive four available players nearby in the future, which you can then select with a corresponding movement of the right stick . With the Ki-Pressing with the right bumper, your colleagues now have a permanent display. If the player goes out the puffs, he can not provide you with no more support and enforce opponents.
Crunchy ki
On the other side, the attack game has also become more demanding. FIFA 22 does not make it easy for you to break the opposing defense. The defensive midfielder help in the back, defenders move better in the room and move in the composite. So it s not enough to race with a quick striker on the defense. Even if you may lose the explosive sprint that can give you a speed benefit in 1-counter-1 situations.
FIFA 22 in the test: What can the football simulation of EA SPORTS? (3) Source: PC Games To get behind the defense, you have to play the ball back and forth at the edge of the box and combine you until the gap gives you. EA SPORTS thus creates a clear focus this year. That takes the game a little bit the pace. FIFA 22 feels a little slower and heavy, but also imprecisely. Shots are often blocked, dribbling failing or playing do not find their goal. Overall, more mistakes happen. This effects the events on the lawn again more like real football, just at the beginning but also a bit static and crushed.
This is especially true if you dared out of the offline modes and crashes in matches against other players. Here comes the new competitor switch to wear. This represents the control of competition conditions, so you have to do without passport and weft wizard, automatic player change or KI support during blocking. This creates another challenge again. In addition to the control, we had always struggled with connection problems during the test. Even before the official launch where only pre-order and EA play subscribers were traveling, there were speed-up lags en mass! So we do not want to know how bad the server performance fails if millions of football fans simultaneously stream the virtual green on October 1.
Volta Vol. 3
Anyone who has no desire for classic lawn chess, for whom in FIFA 22, of course, the rather arcadigy Volta mode. The street and hall kick is now in his third year and should finally create the breakthrough this time! For this, the developers have considered a whole series of updates, which should make an offensive tricky style of play clearly worthwhile. Among other things, the skill display was introduced, a kind of counter that she drives with extravagant passes and dribblings to the height. The higher the ad, the more valuable your next goal becomes. A hit can also count twice or triple.
On top of that, there are the new rechargeable special skills, which are so a little reminiscent of the Gamebreaker from Fifa Street: with Pure Tempo rests in an affinity of the playing field, the power shot gives you so much bums that your ball and keeper throw together into the gate . In addition, the skilltree was again refused. Attributes such as weak foot, sprint speed or special movements has completely painted EA. Each player starts with a wider and technically savvy Avatar, with which you can hit directly. In the future, a few additional specialist movements are available. The bands are also some resilient, balls so bounce off faster and lose less speed. This allows more creative moves. Last but not least, EA Sports also introduces a new game variant: Volta Arcade. This is a kind of party game tournament in which you are in fourth in randomly selected mini games such as peoples ball or football tennis. FIFA 22 in the test: What can the football simulation of EA SPORTS? (8) Source: PC Games The hooks on the whole thing: The great new skill display fills a lot too slow. So there is more meaning, just shoot two goals quickly, as forever to dribble around in the area. In addition, EA Sports puts the large red pencil in terms of content. Especially the online modes of Volta were greatly cropped. In the future, you can only play 4-counter-4 matches in which you only control your Avatar. The league system was deleted, as well as the commitment of new players. Thus, the only land time motivation remains collecting new cosmetics.
Excluded
Stay for the crowning degree nor the two modes FIFA Ultimate Team and Pro Clubs. In the former, the two competitions Division Rivals and Fut Champions were revealed, introduced public matchmaking for co-pose sessions and announced the new Fut Heroes: new player items for cleaving such as Mario Gomez or Lars Ricken. In Pro Clubs, most of them have taken over the changes from the player career, so adapted growth and perks, with whom you can pretend to boost attributes. In addition, you will be able to stand together with male and female avatars together in the place. Nice thing, but nothing that would hit the socks.
This summarizes FIFA 22 as well as in its entirety quite well. Yes, the football simulation once again has a few nice new features ready. But the big revolution remains again this year, Hypermotion out or her. This is especially true for the old console generation, which comes completely without the central game element EAS this year s marketing campaign. Therefore, players should more than ever wonder if the manageable changes are really worth 80 euros. Or if you do not rather put a sign with his wallet and it is waiting for the makers might to provide for proper innovation with a change of the engine.
My opinion
From David Benke editor david.benke@computec.de
Unfortunately, in my test, the frustration overlook at the end
Is FIFA 22 now a bad game? No not true. Is it so much better, so groundbreaking new that it justifies a purchase price of 80 euros? Certainly not. Sure, a few interesting innovations are here - the Create-Your Club feature or hypermotion, for example. But these are all only supplements that you could have introduced with a Season Update instead of a new full version. In addition, partly hair-raising mistakes, incomprehensible design decisions and obvious laziness come. And of course, the fact that PC players fed out with a slimmedized version and forced Old Gene Owners for a Next Gene Upgrade to buy the 100 Euro Expensive Ultimate Edition. For me, allowing enough to give a devaluation in the last year at the end. If only symbolic to send the developers a wake-up call: pull the head out of the ass and thinking seriously, where you want to go with your row! The current direction definitely feels wrong!
