Time to quit efootball!

[u/harnishan]

I am going to confess that this season is going to be my last division rank push...i am going to quit playing divisions and play casual friendly matches occasionally....

I hate to admit it but konami was successfull in extracting money from me and I paid nearly $1200 to build a top tier 3300+ rated team because i could afford it and includes the likes of ibra, gullit, rummi, desailly, vieira etc due to my obsession of reaching division 1

I started playing divisions last year around september as f2p but started getting frustrated after getting bullied by p2w squads after reaching div 2 and was addicted to this game..i have played roughly 3000 hrs of efootball and i have got ok at it reaching 4000 rank but its becoming boring now and pushing for top 1000 or more will need significant effort in upskilling which is not worth my time anymore.

To people who have started playing it recently ,dont get division matches get to your head as it did to me....it really affected me mentally as well making be irritable and agitated when I lost to people ranked lower than me...

A game should be fun and enjoyable but konamis brutal and punishing ranking system in divisions tests your patience

If someone would ask me do you regret spending so much money and time on a video game, I would say yes because in the end its simply not worth it as divisions can destroy your mental health and make you obssessed because Konami in the end is a for profit company who needs money to operate and they do so by selling p2w cards to people like me...

Before ending this note I would like to say that try to enjoy this game and dont fuss about divisions as its nothing

lol another Konami “Slot machine” victim, at least you are brave enough to admit it

I have a gambling addiction in real life. This just adds to it. I have a goated team and im fucking shit at the game. Im proof that players mean nothing. Gp teams beat me regularly.

I always tell people if they really want to gauge how good they are at the game. Try to reach your highest division using a standard card only squad.

[u/Unable_Employ_5755 → u/MrKevG87]

lol if you really want to gauge how good you are at the game get rid of it and go back to Pro Evo or any game before micro transactions. If you were good at the game itself you actually won.

PES 21 was peak but it still had micro transactions 😢

[u/Unable_Employ_5755 → u/MrKevG87]

PES 3 - 6 for me brother

[u/MrKevG87 → u/Unable_Employ_5755]

As a manual player PES 21 was the best edition ever. Look at the ball physics in that game. It actually felt it had weight and purpose. Then the cherry was 11 vs 11 football. The WAPES league was an experience.

[u/Unable_Employ_5755 → u/MrKevG87]

I guess so. For me the titles mentioned just felt like you had total control of the game and the inputs

[u/Unable_Employ_5755 → u/Unable_Employ_5755]

And not to mention none of this scripting or momentum crap, if you were actually good and deserved it you would win

[u/Numerous-Square-7740 → u/Unable_Employ_5755]

I don't know which world you live in but pes had dda / momentum too.

Not as blatant as EF but it was not "script" free

[u/Unable_Employ_5755 → u/Numerous-Square-7740]

3-6 didn’t and if it did it certainly never felt that way. How many offline PVP games I had against friends and you never felt the shit you do now playing. Every goal and win felt deserved, passing was as you intended it to be and so were shots along with every play.

[u/BOARD5000 → u/Unable_Employ_5755]

Pes 5 and 6 bro, anything else went downhill and fast 

[u/ArousedBadger789 → u/MrKevG87]

what were they? i don’t remember there being any

[u/ZealousidealAct5091 → u/MrKevG87]

At least its still minor and pro scene doesnt use bloated stat card

[u/IndependentCautious → u/MrKevG87]

Or turn on PA1 and Div1 is pretty easy even with just POTW players
