Future Updates

1. Introduction of Master League in the mobile version

For those who are unaware, Master League is a premium feature in eFootball 2023's console edition. It resembles FIFA's Career Mode in many ways. Konami is currently working on bringing Master League to mobile devices. It will, however, be available as paid content. Although no specific date has been given as of yet, Konami intends to release it as part of one of the version updates sometime in 2023. We need to keep an eye out for more information from the Developer House about it.

2. Introduction of Cross-Platform Matches

For fans, this is possibly the most thrilling information. Cross-Platform Matches were to be introduced with the winter update, Konami said earlier this year. That is, through online matchmaking and the friend match lobby, console and mobile players can compete against one another. Version update 2.3.0, however, did not include this. It would be fascinating to observe how they implement this change and if they fulfill their promises or not.

3. Expansion of Teams and Leagues under Authentic Teams

As a result of user input, eFootball previously declared in a road map that they would increase the number of teams and leagues available under Authentic Teams as part of the winter update. This would be compensated material.

To unlock these Teams/Leagues, you must either pay money or possibly a particular number of eFootball Coins. Users were not particularly interested in the offline form of Authentic Teams. Many people assumed that since this was the final update of the year, the expansion would be added after it. More teams to pick from while playing against them, though, might sway some people toward this option. So we can assume Konami has it on the radar for the future.

4. Addition of some editing features

Additionally, Konami had mentioned making some editing tools accessible to users after the winter update in 2022. Since this update file got around it, we can assume that the game will provide some editing features at some point in 2023.

Final Thoughts

If the developers honor their promises, eFootball has a bright future. It would be interesting to see how they implement the cross-platform play while simultaneously eliminating all the bugs. Even though it is premium content, Master League will undoubtedly attract some new players to this well-liked soccer game.
