The football video games thread

[jd2010]

I get sucked in nearly every year. Most my saves last a Max 10 seasons before I get bored of them. Am having less and less time to play over the years so fm23 I'm still only part way thru S2 with my Southampton save, I'm in the conference league and enjoying that. Just time slowing me down on this one. Feel like 23 is a big step up from 22

Anyone played efootball23? Got a PS5 and it was free on PS +. Is it career mode only? Gameplay is class although I havent touched a football game for years lol

Isn't that the new PES?

Yep. Pretty good for free.

I remember eFootball22 got rated like 8/100 on steam, it's now up to 30/100 after the eFootball23 patch.

Yeah I heard bad things but I didn’t think it had a career mode either?

 

[Cruyff14]

eFootball is so bad. PES really lost its way.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

PES was good at one point.

Isn’t next year going to be efootball24 and EA Sports FC? So no more PES & FIFA.

I went back to the A-League on FM for the first time in about 2 years. Turns out once you figure out how to win the A-League, you've figured out how to dominate it. Still can't get the ACL done though, which I strangely was able to achieve way back when I couldn't crack the A-League.

Currently going through a frustrating period where 10 of my players are away at the U23 Asian Cup and i wasn't given the option to postpone games.

Very interesting.

My FM days are over though sadly. I hope this is not enough to reel me back in.

Yeah mine are long gone.

Just don't have the time or patience for it anymore.

I don't quite understand the extreme levels of addiction to this game. I played it a lot during COVID lockdowns, but when normal life resumed I just started to wonder who has time for this?

 

[jd2010]

Literally the only video time I've got any time for. I've always been someone whose played it whilst watching other stuff so just get a little chance to give it a whirl. Mainly when works not hectic and the last thing I want to do is open another laptop. But my Fifa days ended a good 7 years ago FM has survived

They really need to move from Frostbite to UE5.

Still waiting for what Infantino promised for the next FIFA also, will never happen.

 

[RossFC]

I miss pro evo.

It's still going but branded as eFootball.

eFootball 23 is rated 56/100 on steam.

fifa losing a couple of hundred million just so a game could put fifa on it once every 4 years for some world cup content and turning around saying 'we will just make our own then' is one of the funnier own goals of recent memory

Here's a reminder of the glory days
