Not only do they not meet the standards of Next-Gen technology, they actually regress from the perfectly solid visuals of the PES 2021 Season Update.

The first thing you notice when booting up your first match is the graphics. With the modes being extremely bare bones, it is left to the action on the pitch to provide excitement. Konami’s plan is to introduce paid-for modes further down the line, with their own take on Ultimate Team, and the ever-popular PES standard Master League, expected to be on the way.

The Events are simply a series of Exhibitions where you have to win consecutive games, meaning there is not much variety on show. You can either play an Exhibition Match or take part in an Event. There are nine playable teams, and just two game modes. Is it really as bad as the social media buzz suggests? The Sportsman were brave enough to find out, so you don’t have to.ĮFootball is a free-to-play game, and has initially been released as a small-scale concern. We have already covered EA Sports’ latest foray onto the field here, so it’s only fair to weigh up Konami’s pilloried effort. It is hard to recall a football game getting such a negative response, with the eFootball-hate even eclipsing the annual vitriol aimed at each new entry in the FIFA franchise. But have you played Konami’s erstwhile PES replacement, eFootball? If you haven’t, I don’t blame you. I have several thousand more adverts available - please contact me if you're looking for something specific.You’ve seen the memes, laughed at the glitches, and mourned its role in killing the iconic Pro Evolution Soccer franchise. You may see single pixel vertical lines (red/green/blue) on the scan - these are not present on the paper advert (they're my crappy scanner getting dust on the sensor). Sometimes the scan picture below will appear very blocky - this is something to do with how the image is resized - it looks much better when you click it and view the full size version. The green text in the scan is not present on the actual advert. As this is a vintage item, there may be small marks, wear to edges and/or minor creasing - this will be visible in the detailed scan. Please click on the image below to see a more detailed scan. Slightly larger than A4 size (roughly 11" x 8.5"). Vintage original advert, carefully removed from magazine. There will be text/images on the reverse.
