Just like how EA Sports is rebranding FIFA games to EA Sports FC, Konami did the same thing with PES a few years back.

While fans are waiting for EA Sports FC 24 to launch at the end of the month, Konami’s eFootball already has its 2024 update.

Renamed eFootball 2024, the latest version is the 3.0.0 update for the original eFootball game.

If you have already been playing the free-to-play eFootball, you can update our game without an extra download for free.

The game went offline yesterday for the update, and online functionality was restored this morning (September 7).

The gameplay has been changed with the aim of “increasing player control to create more goal scoring opportunities”. 

Changes have been added to make near misses less frustrating, and give players more ways back into the game.

In terms of defense improvements have been made for the timing of stopping the ball, and new animations have been added to add to immersion.

Goalkeepers also have more animations for when they save shots, and are more likely to be able to defend against crosses.

The general theme of the update is on ball control, giving players more flexibility when they are in control.

AI players have also been updated so that there is greater variation in behaviour depending on difficulty.

Dream Team (eFootball’s version of Ultimate Team) has also received a significant upgrade in terms of Boosters.

Boosters will allow players to supercharge their cards above the usual level cap of 99.

The Play Style level has also been removed, so this will no longer affect the way players’ stats are decreased.

There are also new weather types – rainy and snowy – to add more variation to how games are played.

This is alongside the usual updates surrounding rosters and leagues.

The 3.0 update is completely free, just like the base game, so if you are waiting for EA Sports FC 24 to launch, eFootball could be the perfect answer.
