For many years, Konami’s eFootball series, formerly PES, was way ahead of FIFA in terms of graphics and gameplay. While it has retained its status as the football game with the best gameplay, it has been left behind in terms of graphics.

EA have really put work on making sure players on their game look more realistic, which is what eFootball fans have been demanding for the past few years. Konami finally made developments in their latest release and we’re hoping the trend will continue in the next edition which will possibly hit the markets in September.
