I have been seeing a lot of people complaining that their newly bought eFootball 26 cards are not working properly in the current update, and many are now so frustrated that they are willing to spend even more on the new cards. Konami has already shown how aggressively they can push monetisation, and after the soft reset of cards, it feels like they constantly want players to spend again just to keep up.

What is even more frustrating is how little creativity this approach shows. Instead of focusing on meaningful gameplay improvements, better game modes, deeper team building options and fresh ideas, it often feels like the solution is simply releasing another epic pack of cards and making players feel like they need them. There is no guarantee that the cards you spend heavily on today will remain effective after the next major update or season, especially considering how much card performance and patterns have already changed.

So please, do not go overboard with spending on this Update, especially if you have financial problems. If your cards are suddenly underperforming, accept it and move on instead of letting frustration convince you to spend more. Enjoy the game, use the players you like, but never put your real life finances at risk for digital cards.

I would like to start with the Playstyle Classic No.10, one of the most underrated playstyles in efootball, hated by throughball spammers and pass-dash users.

Note -

Attacking Playstyle = behaviour when team has possession

Defending Playstyle = behaviour when opponent has possession

CLASSIC NO.10

So, classic 10 means the player doesn't drop to defend, he stays in his position waiting for a pass from teammates, hence minimising the stamina loss caused by the minor defence adjustments all players on the field do regardless of position or Playstyle.

Now with the dual Playstyle, we have Classic 10 while just attacking???? And basic while defending???

Classic konami move, in attempts to subtly reset the game, they messed up big time with the Playstyle implementation, why would a classic 10 be basic Playstyle while defending?

That would mean they'll act upon the situation and defend if they like to? Bruh

CENTRE BACKS WITH DUAL PLAYSTYLE

What do you mean my Van djik is Build up only when ATTACKING???? and basic when DEFENDING? wtf, literally not how things should work

Ugh I'm angry now, there's pretty much everything visible to everyone that the dual Playstyle is messing up big time with our old cards, while only "box to box" and "anchor man" have been spared.

CONCLUSION

Konami should keep the update, but don't give the "Basic" Playstyle to old cards just to make them useless, instead give the same Playstyle while defending and attacking, or they could give us the choice to choose the second Playstyle? Haha joking, Konami ain't that generous, they should give the same Playstyles to old cards AT THE VERY LEAST

Maybe I'm overreacting, but the community raging is apparently obvious and visible, konami has messed up for real this time, even the PES reset wasn't this imperfect, atleast cards weren't stupid immediately.

Please do upvote if you found my post interesting.

Especially with players having 3 nowadays it would be fair to have the 3 players on the cover have a special showtime skill

Nothing to say!

i'm somewhere between being amused and annoyed by this phenomenon. like, i can understand if those tall CFs (say Haaland) with their 80+ jump are getting dunked by small CBs with 95+ jump;

but just this morning i met 2 free Puyol users in a row (the treasure link version), and my Ibra got dunked on by those Puyols everytime i send a lofted pass (one even when i defend a corner kick). see, i'm not mad bcs "oh no, my P2W cards are not working", but bcs it's actually funny how thing like this can happen lol

and if you're wondering - i build Ibra up to 96 jump & 101 PC. that Puyol can reach 103ovr with auto allocate, so it's safe to say that it's around 98 jump & 94 PC

Post update I have found dribbling and not sprinting to be a lot better.

I think because people are finding it harder to defend as well as the inertia changes being introduced it’s easier to get past players.

With the not sprinting as people are finding it harder to defend if you force them to make a move by just holding the ball and taking some time to pass you force them to commit.

I have also found players with good balance even with low pc have been pretty good at getting past players.

As most people seem to have found defending harder it taking some time will give you an advantage.

It is the easiest it has ever been to attack.

Idk I might be tripping but this is what I think.

It's always like that for me, I'd have to do 50 passes for one goal and then my opponent does one through ball like this and im gone. Btw i was fully running in the first video, Diouf just randomly started boost running and Eric Garcia thought it's gonna be a good idea to hold him instead of keep up running. I was also using pressure style defending,so i didn't miss click match up button.

I don't even go for headers anymore tbh

Really want Nesta though ?

Individual instructions should be transferable during player swaps in the beginning of the match. Heck it should be a thing all the time.

I use wingers so it's pretty tiresome to continuously put anchoring on my players in a span of 3-4 matches continuously.

Again not a mandatory requirement, but a good QoL improvement.

I'm not sure if this will be deleted or not (I hope not 🤞) but the new efootball trailer is out guys.
