eFootball version 3.2: all the details – eFootball 2024

As real soccer reaches the final part of the first round in the major leagues, Konami is also entering a new phase full of new features and content for eFootball 2024 now that season 2 is in full swing. The soccer title will be updated this Thursday, December 7, to version 3.2.0 and Gamereactor was able to get a preview-attend session hosted by head of communications Hal Sparke and director of data collection Klaus Ganer to get all the details.

New My League mode in eFootball: a season with your dream team

The main new feature is the addition of My League mode, a new way to play 36 or 38 games as if it were a regular league, but with the Dream Team created in the game.

In order not to tie too many strong teams together, the AI organizes the calendar so that a strong club appears every five games. The calendar reflects the weather of the seasons in the game, and there will be new in-between movies to accompany the matches. There is no limit to the number of times you can play this new mode, but during the Q&A session, Konami also declined to define the possible rewards it will award at this stage.

Play in co-op with strangers to form a 3v3 team

The first stop of the presentation, however, was the co-op mode. Konami acknowledged that, as seen for years in the competitive environment, co-op is proving to be “a huge success” for the game, which is “enjoying how the community is embracing it.” To improve co-op, EF 3.2.0 will include a new matchmaking system feature, allowing users to team up with strangers to easily form a team of three players. This matchmaking will take place in the online matchrooms.

During matchmaking, they can also express themselves and communicate through emojis.

Booster cards for the Player of the Week

Perhaps a minor detail for some and an important detail for others is that booster cards, those types of boosters to improve soccer players’ attributes, are now open to Player of the Week (POTW) and Epic types. In addition, some cards get a double booster.

New login penalty mini-game is reminiscent of the best of PES

In true Pro Evolution Soccer style, eFootball 2024 v3.2 also adds a mini-game during login. By accessing the online servers, users can try a penalty kick activity once a day to earn squares that determine the quality of rewards offered. Only the player who scores the penalty kick will earn a single square, and the more goals you score, the better the rewards. There will be GP, EF points and even Big Time Cards for the Dream Team, and as an example we saw Ronaldinho. Can you score 31 penalties in a row?

A fairer eFootball League: you only play with similar levels

The matchmaking tweaks do not only affect the rooms for setting up 3v3 matches. Participants in the eFootball League mode now face fairer matches, as the possible opponents have been divided into levels or divisions. For example, you won’t get a level 2 opponent if you’re at level 7:

eFootball League Ladders

• Advanced: Levels 1-3
• Intermediate: Levels 4-6
• Beginner: Levels 7-9
• Self-study: Level 10

As for possible lag or connection issues due to Wi-Fi quality or distance between regions, Ganer told Gamereactor that these match-ups are “purely skill-based” for now, with other filters coming later.

Where are Master League and Edit Mode?

Today’s presentation focused on the new features coming with patch 3.2.0 as of Thursday, but in the Q&A we wanted to convey the two concerns that the community has been clamoring for and that were part of the original roadmap: Master League and Edit Mode. Sparke told Gamereactor that “it’s not for us to speculate about other game modes. eFootball changed the game for us on every level, we went from PES and the annual model to free-to-play. We are trying to create a platform that is accessible. My league will be really unique and we are very excited about it. Still, they will “keep working” on everything else.

Keep in mind that the game itself already previews other new features coming with the 3.2 update, such as PvP co-op events, the renewal of GP contracts, the ability to practice in training with the Ideal Team or changes to the number of goal celebrations that cannot be skipped.
