Some glitches cause players to run with their arms flailing behind them, and others go hurtling down the pitch when they collide with an opposing footballer.

Animation glitches and collision bugs seen in the leaked footage are still prevalent in the released version. Players reported that the game feels and looks like a mobile game rather than a next-gen title. Both factors have set the game consensus at overwhelmingly negative. Written reviews from players are equally low, with 50 of the 659 reviews sounding positive (some are jokes). According to the site, eFootball sits at roughly 8% positivity out of the more than 1,600 votes since its release. The ranking comes from Steam 250, an aggregate site that ranks games based on positive and negative reviews and total players.

It is unclear what game version or build the leak showed, but it was speculated to be on next-gen hardware. Leaked eFootball gameplay videos showed wonky collision physics and glitchy animations during matches in the game. Worries didn’t end with the announcement, however. A similar game mode, called Creative Team, will be present in eFootball, but it will be part of a later update. Live service games come with much-maligned microtransactions, and Konami is no stranger to using them. The company’s virtual soccer rival, EA, has used the practice to earn billions off its Ultimate Team game mode in the FIFA series. The direction to go free-to-play was worrying to veteran PES fans. Paired with a new engine, new animations, and headlined by PSG’s new star Lionel Messi, the company marketed the game as the next evolution of virtual soccer.

Konami announced earlier this year that Pro Evolution Soccer, PES for short, would be replaced by the free-to-play eFootball. After waiting two years for a new Pro Evolution Soccer game, players on Steam have voted that Konami’s replacement, eFootball, is the worst game on the platform.
