eFootball 2022 Mobile Update

If you logged into PES 2021 on Friday, I am sure that you must have seen the news about the eFootball 2022 Mobile update. In fact, it is probably one of the first things that you will see.

Konami put up the announcement on the app and left a link to their website. Like most people, I did go to their website and I saw a really lengthy post. Some of it was good, but the rest was not so good.

Update: eFootball Mobile 2023 is here, click here to find out.



eFootball 2022 Mobile Update

Spring 2022 is the scheduled date for the update, but in truth there is really no definite date. Spring 2022 is a very vague idea for a date. It could mean any time within the spring months, but it is also not beyond Konami to push the date forward.

Update: eFootball Mobile update is now live and available for download on Google Playstore (Android) and Apple’s App Store (iOS). For more details…


See: eFootball Mobile 2022 guide: gameplay, controls, player training, team building etc.


System requirements for supported devices

System requirements for the update differ from device to device and from one platform to another.

On iOS, only devices that run iOS 13 would be supported. These include iPhone 6S and above, iPad Pro, iPad 5th gen and above, iPad Air 2 and above, iPad Mini 4 and above and the iPod touch (7th gen).

Anything older than 2015 probably won’t be able to run eFootball 2022.

On the Android side of things, the requirements to run the game are a minimum of:

  • OS: Android 7.0
  • Memory: 2GB RAM
  • CPU: Quad core
  • Speed: 1.5GHz
  • Storage space: At least 3.3GB

These specs may seem basic, and they are. But…there are many devices with these specs that will struggle to play the game. My advice, don’t use a potato to play PES.

Now I have a whole list of the top 200 smartphone processors. If you really want to game with your phone, anything below 130 should be an absolute no.

Some gamers have complained about these system requirements being too low for the game. The fear is that Konami may be downgrading the game’s graphics to accommodate more players.

This is not true. Most games nowadays have scalable graphics. How these graphics play will depends on the capability of your phone’s SoC. High end phones will get high graphics and 60fps. Midrange phones will get mid graphics and 30fps and low end phones should get low graphics and 30fps.

Gameplay

For the first time ever, both the console and mobile version (Android and iOS) are using the same game engine. This also suggests that mobile and console players could be sharing servers.

eFootball 2022 Mobile Update

The reason for this suggestion could be due to the fact that the eFootball 2022 update supports cross-platform play between mobiles and consoles. This means that android and iOS players can battle each other or against console players (Playstation and Xbox).

Inorder to level the playing field, the eFootball Mobile update should bring controller 🎮 support for Android and iOS.

Controller support for eFootball 2022 Mobile Update

Match Types

There are going to be four match types in the eFootball 2022 mobile update. There are tour, challenge, online quick match and online match lobby.

The online match lobby is the cross-platform lobby. It is not going to be available at launch and will not be open to everyone. I am presumably guessing that entry and budget level android users may not be welcome into the lobby.

Player types

This may come as shocking news, but Iconic Moments are going away. Vanity upon vanities. The four player types available are:

  • Standard player
  • Trending player
  • Featured player
  • Legendary player

The standard player is the basic white, bronze, silver, gold or black ball player.

The trending player is a player that is currently trending. Trending card players are those players who have done well recently in real life. Trending players cannot be trained because they are already maxed out.

Featured and Legendary players still remain as the highest rated players in the game. Apart from the trending cards, all other player types can be trained.

The gambling mechanics that bedeviled PES Mobile will be removed in eFootball 2022. Players will be allowed to pick a player of their choice. The old three player trading system will also be removed.

Data Carryover

This section covers how your current data in PES 2021 will be carried over to eFootball 2022.

The following data are not going to be carried over to eFootball 2022. You will have to reset them. These include:

  • usernames
  • base team/squad info
  • records
  • achievements
  • settings
  • achievements
  • login bonuses
  • item effects (skill, position boosters, management skill)
  • Friends etc.

The following items will be carried over into eFootball 2022

  • country/region/date of birth settings
  • MyClub coins (now eFootball coins)
  • GP currency
  • eFootball points

Players will also be carried over but IMs would no longer exist.

  • Base – Standard
  • Featured – Standard
  • Carryover – GP
  • Legends – Legendary
  • Iconic moments – Legendary

Base and featured cards will be carried over as standard players. IMs and Legends will be carried over as new legendary cards. Carryover cards from last year will be converted into GP.

Agents and trainers will not be carried over, but will be converted into GP. The same thing can be said about some managers, scouts, uniforms, themes and contract tickets. Things like position boosters, skill tokens and management skills are also not going to be carried over.

    HOW MUCH STORAGE IS REQUIRED TO DOWNLOAD THE GAME

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      2GB should do. The game itself usually occupies around 1.5GB of internal storage but with Android, you’ve gotta have extra.

      1. Issah Ibrahim

        Please am using Tecno spark 5 air but it cannot install the game.

          1. Goodness Alexander

            Why are Tecno products not supported? The requirements are complete, but it won’t still download, why?

          2. Jeff Ogodogun

            They use mostly use weak processors for their phones that’s why.

      1. Destiny

        I believe master league is coming even if they didn’t announce it here

        1. Jeff Ogodogun

          If they didn’t announce it for mobile, it’s probably not coming for mobile.

          1. Collins otieno

            Can snmsung A10 play the game

      2. Lilsam

        I have tried to download the update on redmi 9a 2gb ram 32gb tom 2gig processor android 10 even though it meets the requirements but it still says incompatible so I tried collecting it from my friend the obb entered but the APK won’t install pls wat can I do

          1. Lilsam

            So wat can I do or can u recommend a phone I can use that is redmi maybe I would do swap and also does it mean it would never work

          2. Lilsam

            Pls can u give me ur WhatsApp number so we can chat better so I can ask what to do better pls

        1. Timothy jonathan

          Please why can’t my hot 10i support the game?

          1. Jeff Ogodogun

            Click on the telegram link and send me a screenshot of the unsupported message.

  2. balogun

    which date we can update to efootball 2022 mobile??

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      No definite date yet. Anytime between now and June. I’ll keep you updated.

      1. Stefany W.

        Can Samsung AO2 play the game without any issues?

        1. Jeff Ogodogun

          MT6739, Quad core processor from 2017/18. No. It won’t play the game. The A53 CPUs can give it a good shot but that PowerVR GE8100 GPU is just too poor.

          If you can afford it, look for a phone with a better processor please.

          1. Martin ASEWE

            Can redmi 9c play the game

      2. Abuhafs

        Will huawei y5 2019 play efootball 22

  3. SILENTSTORM

    Can Samsung galaxy A12 play the game?

      1. Dolapo

        Hi, pls can my Tecno spark 4 air play the game?

  4. Idiongo

    Please how can I download the game?

    I need the best site to download 🙏

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      When it becomes available, you will find it on Google Playstore.

  5. Raph

    Can tecno pop 5 pro play the game

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      Yes, but it would be quite slow. You may have to leave it low settings and 30fps.

  6. Kabir Taiwo

    Can infinix hot 8 play the game?

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      Yes but leave your settings at low and fps at 30 inorder to have a good experience.

  7. Nabeel ali

    Will i be able to play this game in 60 fps on infinix note 8i (helio G80)

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      Yes, absolutely. But I’ll recommend keeping settings at Mid and 30fps tho.

  8. Destiny

    My phone is spark 5 air 2Gb ram 2.Ghz quad core processor I believe it should do even when I update my phone..and I hope they do give us the master league other than the four match type they announced here

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      Yeah I think your phone would probably play the game with some hiccups here and there. My doubts are due to that PowerVR GE8320 GPU.

  9. taki

    can i play it on redmi note 8?

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      Yes you can. Absolutely!

      The Snapdragon 665 with Adreno 610 will handle the game well. Just don’t play at 60fps tho.

  10. Notjzm

    Will it run smoothly on huawei nova 5t? Octa core, 8gb ram, android 10, speed idk. Maybe 1.4

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      Huawei Nova 5t runs on a HiSilicon Kirin 980 processor that has a clock speed of 2.6GHz. You’re very safe my guy.

  11. Stanley

    Can infinix hot 10 play the game smoothly

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      Absolutely. But only if you play at mid-settings tho. The Mediatek Helio G70 processor on the Hot 10 is starting to grow old.

      Mid settings is fine. High settings and you may experience some glitches.

  12. Stanley

    So high graphic can’t play on hot 10?

  13. Jeff Ogodogun

    It can but you may experience the game slowing down, lagging, skipping and probably serious overheating as well.

  14. Timon

    Will it be able to play on iPhone 6s?

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      Yup. Konami’s website clearly said 6S and above. I also clearly stated that on the web post.

  15. Bello

    Will infinix hot 5 play the pes 2022

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      No unfortunately. MT6580 won’t be able to play that game I’m afraid.

    2. Akkurate

      Can I play it on smart 6

  16. Joshua

    Can Tecno LA7 Pouvoir 2 play the game at low graphic 🙏😔

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      I really doubt it. It might be able to but the MT6737 processor is old and that 2GB RAM as well as the Mali T720 GPU may not be able to support the game.

      For what it’s worth, you should give it a try. It can install the game. Playing it is another matter entirely.

  17. Abdullah

    Will realme c20 can play Efootball 22?
    It has octa core processor 2.3ghz and helio g35, please tell me sir?

  18. Favour

    Can infinix smart 5 play the game??.

  19. Collins otieno

    Can snmsung galaxy A10 play the game?

      1. Honest Mashauri

        Why ?

        1. Jeff Ogodogun

          It’s old and uses weak Cortex A53 CPUs. Those CPUs cannot process the game. That’s why.

  20. Quesse

    Can samsung galaxy A12 play the game

  21. John

    Can I play it on my phone Tecno spart 7 2gb ram phone

  22. Joe_1407

    Would a samsung a52s be able to play it on high graphics with 60 fps?

  23. Marvellous

    Can it play on Spark 5 or 6

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      No and no. In fact, it will not play on Spark 7 as well

  24. Abuhafs

    Am using huawei y5 2019 AMN-LX9 its keeps on sayimg not campatibable….. Whats the problem?? 😭😭

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      Weak Mediatek Helio A22 processor my guy.

      That’s why.

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      The better question would be, what is the name of the processor in the Tecno Spark 8c?

      Because Tecno are obviously hiding it. That alone should be a huge red flag.

  25. Bhard wale ☢️

    Y is my infinix smart five not being allowed to install the game even though it fulfills all the requirements 🥺🥺…. I’m getting frustrated

  26. Ted

    How about nokia 2.4

  27. Tyson kubasu

    Can I play it on techno pop 6 go

  28. Daniel

    Will Camon 12 Play the game

  29. BUa

    S7 edge well it work?

  30. victor

    will either camon 15 or 16 play the game smoothly at mid range and 30fbs.

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      Camon 16 (Helio G70) will do that. Camon 15 (Helio P22) will not. It will not even install the game.

  31. Blessing

    Can canon 15 air play it

    1. Blessing

      Camon 15 air I mean

      1. Jeff Ogodogun

        Yes but I’ll advice upgrading to a better phone.

        Phones with A53 CPUs may not be supported in the next update.

  32. malik

    will samsung a30s play it

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      I cannot say for sure. That phone is pretty older. I think it should be able to play it but it’s a 60/40 chance.

  33. Emmanuel Boluwatife

    Can Infinix hot 8 play the game efficiently

  34. Ayomikun

    Please can Infinix smart 5 play the game. And how do I download it

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      I’ve already answered this question. It’s no. Smart 5 won’t play it.

  35. Tobby

    My samsung galaxy A10 should play right?

    1. Jeff Ogodogun

      Check if your device is 32 or 64-bit capable.

      Do this by downloading an app called DevCheck and going to the system tab. Scrolling down to instructions set and check if it’s 32 or 64 bit.

      32 bit means that the game won’t play on your phone. 64 bit means that it should. Good luck.

  36. Abraham David

    Can it play on infinix hot 8
    Ram 2 gb
