From PES to eFootball: the KONAMI background

Smart Assist, co-op for three a side and stadium props
New players start with a step-by-step tutorial that includes practical demonstrations. Finishing it earns Lionel Messi, according to the developer. A Smart Assist setting is meant to help beginners get past defenders with dribbles and passes without entering complex commands.
For company, the game has Friend Matches and Co-op Matches with up to three players a side. Player development runs through matches and special items, and an Auto Select setting can handle upgrades automatically.
Weekly data downloads reflect real-life transfers and match achievements, so squads follow the football season. You can also collect Stadium Elements such as Tifos and Giant Props to decorate your own stadium.
3.1 GB of storage, Android 7.0 and a constant connection
eFootball needs Android 7.0 or later. Plan on Wi-Fi for the first download and for updates, since the game is large.
Matches are played online, so a stable connection matters. The game is free, with ads and in-app purchases. Loot boxes bought with eFootball Coins are restricted in some regions: unavailable to users under 18 in Brazil and to users in Belgium, and parental consent is needed for younger users in Germany, Denmark and the United States.
