eFootball 2022 (Launch)

eFootball 2022 launched as the worst-reviewed game on Metacritic with a 0.91 user score, featuring horrifying facial animations and phantom ball physics that made basic passes impossible. Konami's free-to-play reboot of the PES series was 30% less functional than the average sports game at launch, with AI that ignored basic rules of soccer. It's cheaper than the typical rival at zero cost, but the technical debt resulted in a 75% negative review ratio on Steam, outpacing #4 Madden NFL 06 PSP's infamous failures in sheer bug count.
