eFootball™ 2022 Commands

In eFootball™ 2022, we have added several new commands for you to revel in the tactical battles that are all so prevalent in real-world football. On top of that, we have also implemented changes to some of the commands from previous instalments. In this section, we will be going through these commands based on the different Control Types.
Note that the Control Type previously known as "Advanced" in "eFootball PES 2021" has been renamed "Touch & Flick" in this instalment. For more information regarding the different commands, check the "Command List" in-game.

Control Type: Classic

New Commands in eFootball™ 2022

Attack

Sharp Touch

One of the deciding factors in dribbling is rhythm. Dribbling in a relaxed rhythm before suddenly accelerating can help you leave your opponents chasing shadows. The "Sharp Touch" command is at the ready for you to take a strong touch and swiftly accelerate to leave the defender behind.

  • Flick while pressing "Dash"

Stunning Pass

Low passes, lofted passes, and crosses alike - you can play all kinds of passes incisively using "Stunning Kicks".
To play a penetrative kick in real-life, you would have to take a bigger stride; We have also recreated that motion in this instalment of the game. This means that the ball will take longer to leave the player's feet when performing a kick whilst in possession, such as when stopping or dribbling at low speed.

Main Features of the Stunning Pass:
  • ・ Stunning Low Pass: A pacy pass aimed towards the feet of the receiving teammate. The ball will tend to float for passes of longer distance.

    Flick the "Pass" button to the left

  • ・ Stunning Lofted Pass: A lower and pacier pass comparing to a normal lofted pass.

    Flick the "Pass" button to the right

  • ・ Stunning Through Ball: A speedier version of the normal Through Ball, that will tend to end closer to the receiver's feet.

    Flick the "Through" button to the left

  • ・ Stunning Chipped Through Ball: Pacier than the normal Chipped Through Ball and with a slightly lowered trajectory. Furthermore, the ball will tend to end closer to the receiver's feet than usual.

    Flick the "Through" button to the right

  • ・ Stunning Cross: A slightly lowered and speedier cross. It will also carry a stronger curl.

    Flick the "Pass" button to the right

  • ・ Stunning Low Cross: Speedier and carries more whip than the normal Low Cross. The ball will also tend to bounce just in front of the receiver.

    Flick the "Pass" button to the left

Stunning Shot

Pacier and more accurate than the normal shots, with a myriad of shot trajectories on offer — you can now attempt "Stunning Shots" for your next finish. However, as it requires the same striding motion as "Stunning Passes", you will need to draw the opposition away and create spaces and opportunities for the striker to attempt the shot.

  • Flick the "Shoot" button to the right or left

Shield

You can command your player to protect the ball from oncoming defenders using "Shield".

  • Double tap the left side while pressing "Dash"

Pass-and-run (Cross Over)

As its name suggests, "Pass-and-run (Crossover)" is a command in which the passer will make a diagonal run across the receiver after playing the pass.

  • After applying a pass, pull and flick on the left side

Defence

Match-up

When defenders go up against an oncoming dribbler, they will attempt to position themselves adequately between the opposition and the goal. Now you can make your player do the same in-game with "Match-up". "Match-up" makes it all the more easier for your player to block oncoming passes and shots, so be sure to utilise this command effectively!

  • Slide the "Pressure" button to the right or left

Shoulder Charge

"Shoulder Charge" is a command which allows your player to win the ball back by bumping his body against the opposition ball holder's. In a successful scenario this move will stagger the opponent away and win the ball back, but bear in mind that charging from behind might be called as a foul against you.

  • Double tap on the left side.

Call for Pressure

A new addition to the game as a part of this update, "Call for Pressure" is a command in which the entire team will work in tandem to recover possession. When performing "Call for Pressure", you will see a double arrow displayed around the feet of another teammate.
On the other hand, players that do not have the arrow displayed around them will also work in tandem to win the ball back. Based on their distance from the ball, they will either position themselves to block passing lanes or push up the defensive line.

  • Slide the "Pressure" button up
