PES 2021 vs eFootball 2024

The transition from PES to eFootball has been one of the most debated topics among football gamers. Here is a breakdown of how PES 2021 compares to the current eFootball 2024 platform.

Gameplay and Engine

PES 2021 runs on the Fox Engine, offering weighty, tactical gameplay that many fans still consider the pinnacle of football simulation. eFootball 2024 uses Unreal Engine and was designed with cross-play (including mobile) in mind, leading to different physics and pacing.

Game Modes

The most significant difference lies in offline modes. PES 2021 features the legendary Master League and Become a Legend modes. eFootball 2024 currently focuses heavily on its online Dream Team mode, with offline modes being extremely limited or locked behind premium packs.

Customization

PES 2021 boasts incredible customization via Option Files, allowing you to update everything from kits to stadiums. eFootball 2024 has locked-down aesthetics due to its live-service nature, meaning you cannot easily import custom kits or badges.
