eFootball 2022 Update 1.0.0 Changes

New commands in defense and the addition of “Ask to click”

• Of all your comments, many related to defense. Many noted the difficulty of defending and returning the ball. After revisiting the order of priority for actions related to protection, we decided to change the default key settings to make protection more intuitive. Pressing controls available in earlier versions will also be returned to the game. In addition, we have added a new control “Shoulder Contact”, which allows you to more actively return the ball.
• Pressing: regaining possession of the ball by putting pressure on the opposing ball carrier.
• Contains: Apply pressure to the lead opponent with a less open posture and shorter strides. Also effective at blocking passes or punches.
• Shoulder contact: Push your opponent with your shoulder to return the ball. Especially effective when the opponent has taken the ball away from his foot or when he is trying to head.
• In addition to individual protection, we have also revised elements of team protection. A “Press Request”command has also been added to the game. In addition to sending multiple players to the ball, other teammates will work collaboratively to regain possession of the ball by blocking passing trajectories and advancing the defensive line.
• Along with these feature additions and changes, we’ve also made a host of changes to other defense-critical gameplay elements to give you a more responsive and intuitive experience when it’s time to defend.

Passage improvements and new “Power Pass”command

• In addition to protection, we also received a lot of passing reviews. Many of you noted the slow passage and a large number of errors during the passage. That’s why we’ve made improvements to game balance and order fulfillment.
• Overall, we’ve increased passing speed to match the pace of matches with the defensive improvements described above. In addition, we have also integrated a mechanism that uses the ball bounce as an acceleration force. This is very useful, for example, with one-touch passes, as thanks to this mechanism, the speed of the ball will increase. Thus, we get the “rhythmic passing game”, an integral element of modern football.
• As for transmission errors, we concluded that they were caused by the actions of the sender and receiver during and after the transmission was completed. As such, we’ve made the following fixes: Target Transfer Decision Making Improvements, Transfer AI Decision Making Improvements, and Transfer Motion Improvements.
• After these fixes, the reproduction of anomalous passing errors has been significantly reduced.
• To make it more enjoyable, we’ve also added a new tool, the Power Pass command, which allows you to hit the ball in a variety of special trajectories. With these controls, you can set the attack pace and make more passes.

More shot trajectories for more satisfaction

• In terms of shots, we’ve made the following two improvements: increased shot speed by prioritizing realism and satisfaction, and adjusted shot frequency to reflect match situations appropriately.
• In addition, we have added a variety of shots and trajectories to the game for each situation, such as Power Shot. All this should allow you to experience many realistic situations in front of the gate.

Strategic evolution through improved dribbling features

• In order to improve dribbling agility and give you a more rewarding duel experience through realistic actions, we have made the following changes: improved ball tracking accuracy and response to input from the left analog stick, and improved response to input sprint actions.
• Other functional improvements have also been made, including improved ball reactions and behavior with the new Sudden Change command, and easier understanding of fake actions. We hope that these improvements will help make duels with opposing defenders more enjoyable.

Improved network connectivity

• In order to improve the stability of the online connection, as well as reduce the number of canceled matches, we decided to use the client-server system from this new opus.
  In the same vein, we are constantly striving to improve the response time of online matches. In order to provide you with the best football experience, we will continue to monitor the situation after the update and make the necessary improvements.

Additional features for the game plan

• To restore popular features, we have incorporated the following changes and additional features into the Game Plan while addressing some issues: Added additional features such as Formation Change, Custom Instructions, Auto-Settings, Additional Tactics, and Data Management “, as well as improved loading handling for a better response
