Konami kreeg veel kritiek over zich heen na de release van eFootball. De nieuwe weg waarin de game gratis wordt aangeboden is de ontwikkelaar weliswaar te prijzen, de kwaliteit van de game liet echter flink te wensen over.
Zowel de gameplay als de visuals werden aangepakt en dus beloofde Konami beterschap. Middels een patch moesten veel van de problemen worden aangepakt en om dit te realiseren is patch 0.9.1 uitgebracht, een kleine release die als opstapje dient naar de grotere 1.0.0 update die gepland stond voor 11 november. Er kan nu een streep worden gezet door deze plannen, de Japanse studio heeft de update namelijk uitgesteld naar de lente van 2022 en tevens is het Premium Player Pack geannuleerd. Mocht je hier al voor hebben betaalt dan krijg je automatisch je geld terug.
Onderstaand de volledige verklaring:
We would like to inform you that the v1.0.0 update for eFootball 2022 (available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows, and Steam), scheduled to be released on November 11, 2021, has been postponed until Spring 2022. Also, we would like to announce the cancellation and automatic refunds of eFootball 2022 Premium Player Pack, which includes items that can only be used in-game after the v1.0.0 update.
We have been working diligently towards distributing an update that will bring new content to the game, including a new mode where you can strengthen and play with an original team, as well as support for mobile devices on November 11, 2021. Unfortunately, we have concluded that more time is needed to deliver the product in the quality that will meet the expectations of our users and have decided to postpone the delivery.
Also, we have decided to cancel the preorder for eFootball 2022 Premium Player Pack, which includes items that can only be used in-game after the update.
We will release v0.9.1 to fix numerous bugs sequentially on each platform starting today (November 5). We will continue to improve and update our game. We will announce details of further updates and schedule for the mobile version later.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this causes our users and other stakeholders who have been looking forward to this title.
