Estadio Olimpico Universitario home of Pumas del la UNAM now in eFootball™
Estadio Olimpico Universitario encapsulates more than 70 years of Mexican sports heritage. Home to Liga BBVA MX's Pumas del la UNAM (PUMAS), the halls and pitch of Universitario have not only witnessed championship football but have played host to many major global sporting events. The near 72,000 capacity arrives to eFootball ™ 2024 today bringing with it the pride of Pumas and the passion of Mexico City.
New feature and New Updates to gameplay
The latest version of eFootball™ has also brought a host of new feature and gameplay improvements designed to address core user feedback and enhance the player experience.
‘Position Training’ will see users be able to utilize exclusive items to train up to two positional aptitudes per player. This will allow them to personalize their characteristics and further bespoke their tactical setups.
There will also be improved defensive conviction - enhancing defenders' abilities to accurately retrieve the ball – as well as the strengthening of individual heading capabilities. This will allow for players with strong real-world heading attributes to showcase this in-game in both attacking and defensive situations. New goal performance will be added, too.
About "Blue Lock"
Japan's desire for World glory leads the Japanese Football Association to launch a new rigorous training program to find the national team's next striker. Three hundred high school players are pitted against each other for the position, but only one will come out on top. Who among them will be the striker to usher in a new era of Japanese football?
About "eFootball™"
"eFootball™" was the rebranding of KONAMI's popular gaming series "PES". The change marked a great leap forward as the branding changed alongside the addition of a new football game engine, advancements in gameplay, and remodeling of the title as ‘free-to-play’ across all compatible devices.
“eFootball™” is an ever-evolving platform with the aim of maximizing enjoyment and accessibility for football fans around the world.
Users can enjoy a variety of content on “eFootball™”. For a casual offline experience, users can use authentic football club squads in ‘Exhibition matches’. Alternatively, they can go online and build their very own ‘Dream Team’ – a compilation of their favorite players from around the world. Users can also experience the thrill of competing alongside their friends online in ‘Co-op mode’.
