eFootball Announce A New Partnership With MLS Players Association

 

Konami has obtained a big license ahead of the release of their eFootball game, which will feature Major League Soccer. Konami and MLS Players Association have stated that the "landmark agreement" will be reached with all MLSPA players in the forthcoming eFootball game in the years to come.

The new MLS Players Association-Konami collaboration will allow eFootball to use the names of players from Major League Soccer in the game that probably indicates that the MLS is to be presented in eFootball in the same way as the Premier League with false team names and jerseys, but with correct squads and players.

11 MLS players, including Mexican star, Jonathan Dos Santos, were registered as eFootball Ambassadors who will have face scans and will promote the game.

In addition to securing the full MLSPA player roster, the eFootball™ video game series confirmed 11 MLSPA stars as ambassadors including Jonathan Dos Santos, Josef Martinez, and Eduard Atuesta. - Konami

MLS Players Association eFootball ambassadors full list:
Efraín Álvarez, Eduard Atuesta, Caden Clark, Cade Cowell, Jonathan Dos Santos, Jesús Ferreira, Tony Leone, Josef Martinez, Andrés Perea, Cristian Roldan and Yeferson Soteldo.

eFootball Master League Will Be Available As Paid DLC

eFootball "PES 2022" Master League As Paid DLC

Pro Evolution Soccer's "Master League" debuted more than two decades ago. Players must build and manage their own squad in this game. This mode has become significant to PES fans because you may play it indefinitely - there is no ultimate goal; you simply keep developing your squad until it becomes unstoppable.

Master League will remain available despite the modifications and the fact that the game is now free to play. Konami disclosed a little more about the monetization of the upcoming eFootball, stating that the famous Master League will be returning and that those interested in purchasing it separately, like other single-player modes, could do so.

According to the official Twitter page, the DLC may not be accessible when the game is first released "will be sold in the future as optional DLC on all compatible devices." 

#eFootball ™ cross-platform online matches will be further improved with a new engine and adjusted to take *full* advantage of each platform.

In addition, offline modes such as "Master League" will be sold in the future as optional DLC on all compatible devices.

— eFootball (@play_eFootball) July 22, 2021

Other offline game mods are also slated to become optional DLC, so it's not only Master League that will be accessible.

For the time being, that's all we know about the Master League DLC. We still don't know when will it be made accessible or how much it will cost.
