10 Video Games That Got EVERYTHING Wrong
5. EFootball 2022
In 2020, Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer series was re-branded to eFootball, and last September its inaugural free-to-play entry, eFootball 2022, was released.
The game was immediately panned into the ground by critics and players alike for its underwhelming visuals, hilarious abundance of bugs, eyesore-inducing user interface, and worst of all, that it didn't even function as a basically enjoyable football game.
This is without getting into the fact that the initial release was extremely bare bones all while Konami continued to push "premium" paid content, much to fans' chagrin.
It was painful to see the successor to PES - often held up as superior to FIFA in the gameplay stakes - suffer such an embarrassing tumble from grace.
Even with the release of the 1.0 update this past April, major AI and matchmaking problems persist, ensuring that the player-base has largely rejected eFootball as a worthy inheritor of PES' crown.
When a game can't even get the basic thrill of football on lock - something the genre has been doing well for literally decades - you know it's a bust. Expectations couldn't be lower for the imminent 2023 update.
