Konami, What Are You Doing? Yu-Gi-Oh! x eFootball While Master League Still Waits

When Konami announced eFootball, the spiritual successor to the legendary Pro Evolution Soccer series, fans expected one thing: football. Authentic, engaging football. For many of us, Master League was the heart and soul of PES. The thrill of building a squad, managing transfers, and leading your club to glory is what made the game special.

So what does Konami do instead of developing and releasing a long-awaited Master League addon?

They launch a Yu-Gi-Oh! × eFootball™ collaboration.

┈┈┈•••✼✼✼•••┈┈┈
Yu-Gi-Oh! × eFootball™
┈┈┈•••✼✼✼•••┈┈┈

A collaboration with the “Yu-Gi-Oh! CARD GAME” is coming soon!

A teaser movie featuring Neymar and five players from the national team of France has been released!
#eFootball pic.twitter.com/kbn42OFfFo

— eFootball (@play_eFootball) August 30, 2025

Yes, you read that right. Neymar and five players from the French national team are starring in a crossover teaser to promote… a card game tie-in.

Why This Move Feels Wrong

On paper, crossovers aren’t necessarily bad. But the timing here is baffling. The core of eFootball is still missing crucial features that fans have begged for since day one. Master League hasn’t been properly implemented, offline modes remain thin, and gameplay improvements are inconsistent.

Instead of prioritizing the foundations of a football simulator, Konami diverts resources to a flashy marketing stunt that feels disconnected from what players actually want.

It’s like buying a football stadium and filling it with trading cards before fixing the pitch.

Fans Deserve Better

Konami has a loyal fanbase that stuck with PES for decades—even when FIFA dominated the market. That loyalty is being tested. Fans aren’t asking for gimmicks or flashy collabs; they’re asking for the modes and gameplay depth that defined the series.

Master League isn’t just a “feature”—it’s an identity. It’s what separates PES/eFootball from being just another online football game. Ignoring it in favor of crossover promotions shows a worrying set of priorities.

 

The Yu-Gi-Oh! collaboration might bring headlines, but it won’t bring back the fans who feel abandoned. If Konami truly wants eFootball to succeed, they need to go back to basics: football first, marketing stunts second.

Until then, Master League remains in the shadows, waiting for the spotlight it deserves.

eFootball 2026 High Graphics Unlocked + High/Ultra Graphics Addon [Game Ver 5.0.1]

As enthusiastic gamers, we understand the importance of an immersive gaming experience with stunning graphics that transport players into a whole new world. That's why we are excited to introduce the High Graphics Unlocked for eFootball 3.6.6 + High/Ultra Graphics Addon by Bogo. This ground-breaking software patch was created to take your gaming experience to new heights by improving the graphics of the popular eFootball game.

This patch does a few things to improve the graphics. First, it removes some visual effects that you might not like, such as chromatic aberration, film grain, vignette, grain jitter, film shadow tint, motion blur, and bloom. These are effects that can sometimes make the game look less sharp or more blurry, and by removing them, you can get a clearer and crisper image.

Second, the patch also enhances the shadows in the game, making them look more realistic and immersive. Shadows play a big role in creating a sense of depth and realism in video games, so improving them can really enhance your gaming experience.

Features:

• Removed Chromatic Aberration
• Removed Film Grain
• Removed Vignette
• Removed GrainJitter
• Removed Film Shadow Tint
• Removed Motion Blur completely
• Removed Bloom completely

• Improved Shadows

Download ReShade https://reshade.me/ and download the latest version of ReShade

Run the ReShade installer, click on "Browse" and look for the executable file of the game, usually named eFootball.exe.

ReShade will ask you to choose the graphics API. For eFootball, select DirectX 10/11/12.

ReShade will offer a list of effects to install. Select just the basic shaders.

Download the standalone version file.

Select all the files inside the .rar copy and then go to the folder where eFootball.exe is installed. (steamapps\common\eFootball\eFootball\Binaries\Win64)

Paste the copied files here. If it asks to overwrite any files, confirm and proceed

Start the game. If ReShade was installed correctly, you should see a notification at the top of the screen.

Select the preset called TVBroadcastLogo.ini, through the reshade menu, which opens with the HOME key on your keyboard.

Installation Notes:​

Clean installation recommended: Due to some changes in the code, I recommend performing a clean installation of this version. This ensures that all new features and fixes work correctly.

Two Versions Available:​

Standalone Version: DOWNLOAD

This version requires you to have ReShade already installed.

Simply copy the TVBroadcastLogo.fx file and the Textures and Shaders folder into your reshade-shaders directory.

Preinstalled ReShade Version: DOWNLOAD

This version comes with ReShade preconfigured, making it easier to set up.

Copy all files and folders into your game's installation directory (where the .exe file is located).

Default keys:

F9: Toggle the overlay on/off.

F10: Cycle through the available logos.

New Features:​

Improved positioning: Logos are now placed in positions closer to those used in real TV broadcasts, providing a more authentic experience.

Performance optimization for smoother usage.

Opacity control slider: This allows you to fine-tune the transparency of the logos to better match your preferences and the game’s visuals.

Konami’s Strike Arena – Great Idea, Troubling Issues

Strike Arena Short Review

Konami’s new Strike Arena mode in eFootball™ is a bold and exciting concept. A 3v3 event with dramatic comebacks and unique mechanics like pass multipliers offers a fresh take on the game. It’s a welcome addition that shows potential, and I genuinely hope Konami invests in fleshing it out further—though with Konami’s track record, who knows if they’ll actually commit to that?

The Good: The idea of 3v3 team-based play is fantastic. The pass-multiplier system, which increases goal value with every pass, encourages teamwork and adds a strategic layer. It’s refreshing to see a mode that rewards thoughtful, coordinated play. The unique stage design also contributes to an atmosphere of unpredictability, keeping matches dynamic and exciting.

The Frustrating: However, the experience is marred by serious issues that undermine the fun. For starters, the servers are packed, yet matchmaking inexplicably takes forever. Once you finally get into a game, the frustration doesn’t end—because sadly, this mode is shining a spotlight on just how unprepared many players are for a more tactical, team-oriented format.

A large portion of the player base doesn’t seem to grasp basic principles: no positioning, no defending (probably because they’re used to AI doing it for them), no quick reactions, and—most infuriatingly—no passing! The fact that passing increases the value of goals seems lost on many players, who prefer to hog the ball and take reckless shots instead of playing as a team.

Gameplay Woes: Gameplay mechanics also leave much to be desired. The tackle button feels borderline useless, with manual tackling seemingly replaced by fully automated "match-up" mechanics. Players often take unnecessary touches, delay passes, or execute random skill moves at the worst moments. Combined with hyperaggressive pressing and unresponsive inputs, the result is chaos—especially if you’re not lucky enough to be teamed up with competent players.

Verdict: Strike Arena could have been a breath of fresh air, but right now, it’s an uneven experience. With so many fundamental gameplay issues and a player base struggling to adapt to the demands of teamwork, matches often devolve into frustration instead of fun. If Konami addresses the server issues, tweaks the mechanics, and somehow incentivizes smarter play, this mode has the potential to shine. Until then, it’s a mixed bag—great in concept but lacking in execution.
