eFootball™ v5.5.0 Information

eFootball™ League

Various Adjustments Made to eFootball™ League

We have made the following changes to eFootball™ League.
・ Changed the matchmaking system so that users around the same level of ability will match together more frequently.
・ Made changes to the Rating calculation formula.
・ Made changes so that, in the middle of a Phase, relegation no longer occurs from Division 1–3. Users will no longer be relegated even if losing while at the lowest Rating for that Division.
・ Made changes so that, in the PvP Category of eFootball™ League, a user's Rating at the start of a new Phase is affected by the Division reached in the previous Phase.

Test for Matchmaking Sorted by Smart Assist

We have introduced a test for a function that sorts match opponents for Division 1–3 in eFootball™ League based on whether or not they are using Smart Assist.
To make use of this function, select "Same setting as mine" to match only with an opponent who has the same Smart Assist setting. Otherwise, select "Matchmake freely" to match with any opponent.
When selecting "Same setting as mine", please note that the following issues may occur.
・ It takes time to match with an opponent
・ A match may be made with an opponent with an unstable online connection
For purposes including the verification of such results, we are providing this function in a test capacity.
*While taking into account feedback received from users and data concerned with online connection quality, we will consider how this function will be implemented in the future. For this reason, we ask for your cooperation during the in-game survey that will be conducted at a later date.

Please note that the Invitation Code can only be entered during the campaign period.
