Konami issues apology for the disastrous launch of ‘eFootball 2022’

Is it too late to say sorry?

eFootball 2022 only came out on Wednesday, but it’s already the worst reviewed game on Steam. Like, ever. Mainly because, well, it’s  incredibly glitchy. In an attempt to make good with fans who are rightly disappointed, developer Konami Digital Entertainment released a statement acknowledging all of eFootball 2022’s  faults.

“After the release of eFootball 2022, we have received lots of feedback and requests regarding game balance that includes pass speed and defense operation,” Konami said on Twitter. “We should also like to acknowledge that there have been reports of problems users have experienced with cutscenes, facial expressions, movements of players, and the behavior of the ball.” 

Konami continued: “We are very sorry for the problems, and want to assure everyone we will take all concerns seriously and strive to improve the current situation.”

Glitchy video game releases happen. Even Halo Infinite became a bit of a meme  during its recent beta. Similarly, Call Of Duty: Vanguard looked terrible on Xbox  during its first beta. Those were games still in the testing phase, though, while this is supposed to be eFootball 2022’s release state, and the common consensus is that it came out unfinished. It’s a sentiment that’s hard to argue with when you see some of the worst glitches in action too.

Hopefully, Konami fixes eFootball 2022 so that soccer fans can enjoy it.
