Football is huge in Malaysia, and eFootball gives fans a way to play realistic matches without paying for a full-price game. It is available on mobile, PC and consoles, and supports cross-platform play.
On the pitch
The gameplay is the best part. Passing feels weighty, dribbling requires timing and goals feel earned. On mobile there are simplified controls for beginners and advanced controls for experienced players. On console with a controller, the game feels close to a traditional football title.
Dream Team
The main mode is Dream Team, where you build your own squad using players from packs and events. Building a team around your favourite club or players is fun, but the pack system relies on luck, which can be frustrating.
Events and progression
There are frequent events with objectives and rewards, so there is always something to play for. However, the menus are crowded, and new players may find it hard to understand what to do first.
Online play
Online matches are generally smooth on a stable home connection. On mobile data you may notice delay in tight matches, so Wi-Fi is recommended for ranked divisions.
Verdict
eFootball is a good free option for football fans, especially if you just want to play some matches with friends. Focus on the gameplay and do not get too caught up in chasing packs.
