  • graphics212 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many players praising the impressive visuals, realistic player models, and detailed animations. However, some users have criticized the graphics for being outdated or inconsistent, particularly when playing on lower-end devices, leading to lag and crashes. Overall, while the graphics are generally considered a strong point, there are calls for further improvements and optimizations to enhance the gaming experience.

    • “The graphics are stunning, gameplay is smooth, and the controls are intuitive.”
    • “This game is awesome, nice graphics.”
    • “The game is fantastic, graphics are wonderful.”
    • “First and foremost, the graphics are a significant step backward.”
    • “The graphics are completely broken after the recent update.”
    • “The game has become bad because of the bad graphics, and there are no new events, nor obtaining more coins, nor new packages.”
  • gameplay160 mentions

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its realistic physics, graphics, and smooth controls, while others criticize it for being overly complicated, slow, and plagued by technical issues such as lag and scripting. Users have expressed frustration over unresponsive controls, unrealistic passing, and a lack of engaging content, leading to a diminished overall experience. Despite some improvements, many players feel that the gameplay has regressed compared to previous versions, calling for significant updates to restore enjoyment and balance.

    • “The gameplay is the best you can find on a mobile device, and the cards are creative and fun to play with.”
    • “Realistic gameplay: the game offers realistic soccer gameplay, including player movements, ball physics, and tactical strategies, providing an immersive experience for players.”
    • “An amazing game with stunning graphics and top-notch gameplay; it's the most realistic football game on the Play Store and the best I have played so far.”
    • “The gameplay has become bad.”
    • “I was giving 1 star but because of graphics I'm giving 2. This game has to improve on the gameplay first then go for other stuff. The gameplay literally sucks; everything is slow and late, the acceleration, speed, passing, switching direction, sudden stops. Players have only one task to run and get behind markers. Have some common sense in the game, and the call teammates to press is useless sometimes; they don't even press, and when they do, they're just running after them. Fix this first in updates.”
    • “The game has been terrible lately; once I score, my players will stop reacting, the game suddenly speeds up, commands can't work anymore, but somehow the speed resumes to normal once the opponent equalizes. The vice versa is true; it's easier for me to equalize immediately after the opponent scores. Make a similar script for all users; very terrible gameplay lately.”
  • stability23 mentions

    The stability of the game has been heavily criticized, with users reporting numerous glitches, lag issues, and freezing controls that disrupt gameplay. Many players express frustration over unfair mechanics and a perceived decline in quality with each update, leading to a negative overall experience. The game's server issues and frequent maintenance have further exacerbated these problems, leaving players feeling disappointed and dissatisfied.

    • “The game runs smoothly without any glitches.”
    • “I haven't encountered any stability issues during my playthrough.”
    • “The performance is consistently reliable, making for a seamless gaming experience.”
    • “The game has many glitches and does not deserve even one star.”
    • “The gameplay is mad awful; there are a ton of unfair glitches.”
    • “This game was supposed to be so good, but the server issues are dragging it down. Every week they take 6-7 hours of maintenance time but still no improvement. Lags while playing online matches, my network is fine, but due to bugs and glitches, the match gets disconnected and results in a forfeit. Very disappointed.”
  • optimization21 mentions

    Overall, players express significant dissatisfaction with the game's optimization, citing issues such as lag, unresponsive controls, and poor AI performance that detracts from the gameplay experience. While some users note improvements in graphical optimization, many call for further enhancements to player controls, server stability, and overall performance, particularly on lower-end devices. The desire for better individual player statistics and a more balanced competitive environment is also a recurring theme in the feedback.

    • “The new update is actually good in terms of graphical optimization on my device.”
    • “We ask the company to provide new events, improve the gameplay, treat the servers, and improve the performance of the game so that the excitement and suspense returns again.”
    • “The performance of the game must be improved, even on weak devices, so that we can enjoy playing and improve online play.”
    • “Player switching after 4-5 seconds, most of the time players are not passing the ball nor even running, just standing still. After 4-5 passing attempts, players' passing is in the wrong direction. In front of the goal, after double tapping, players are not shooting due to lagging, allowing opponents to take the ball and score goals. This results in losing matches due to poor optimization in user matches.”
    • “Developers should work on the game stuttering and lagging while playing during the daytime.”
  • humor7 mentions

    The humor in the game is largely perceived as lacking, with players expressing frustration over illogical scripts and disappointing gameplay mechanics that detract from the overall experience. Many users find the game's attempts at humor unfunny and feel that the issues overshadow any comedic elements, leading to a sense of disappointment rather than amusement. Overall, the consensus is that the game's humor fails to resonate, leaving players longing for the more enjoyable aspects of previous iterations.

    • “This is hilarious!”
    • “It's funny to compare the pace of this game to e-football, as pace is much better in most aspects, minus the graphics.”
    • “It's amusing that you make the weekly prizes only 100 coins; they should be no less than 400 coins!”
    • “It's not funny.”
    • “It's not funny, man. You guys should fix this, please.”
    • “It's so disappointing when a game with the most global downloads, if not the most, is making people crazy, which is not funny.”
  • story4 mentions

    The story aspect of the game is primarily experienced through its missions and AI challenges, which players liken to a story mode, offering engaging gameplay with high graphics.

Overall, the narrative experience is enhanced by the combination of missions and competitive play.

    • “I really love this game because the graphics are high quality and the missions are simply amazing.”
    • “When you play against AI (top player and above), you're basically playing story mode.”
  • music4 mentions

    The music in eFootball 2024 has received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing it as "bad" and poorly integrated, while others find it acceptable. Overall, the game's audio experience seems to be overshadowed by other significant issues, such as graphics and gameplay mechanics.

    • “The music is okay, the color scheme is okay, graphics could be better, because when I score a goal, it appears as if the ball has torn through the net, but it has not.”
    • “The song is played in the middle of the song and is a bad song.”
    • “The music is okay, but the graphics could be better; when I score a goal, it appears as if the ball has torn through the net, but it has not.”
  • atmosphere2 mentions

    • “The game captures the essence of a live match with its stunning atmosphere and crowd reactions.”
    • “The attention to detail in player animations and stadium atmosphere truly immerses you in the game.”
    • “Great game, but some suggestions to make it even better: add interactive goal replay like in DLS24, bring back the only legendary draws, the 150 draws is useless, add more players to buy with e-points, add World Cup, UCL, EPL, La Liga campaign, improve servers, stadium atmosphere, add weather variations, more cutscenes: a bit of taste of real match, it would be great to have the opportunity to make our own jersey, edit it, have our own stadium and upgrade it... using GPS.”
  • emotional2 mentions

    Players find the game to be wholesome, fostering emotional connections through features like emojis, which effectively express feelings during online matches. However, issues related to online gameplay can detract from the overall emotional experience.

    • “Emojis can really help showcase our emotional connection during play.”
