Konami has released a new update for eFootball, version 4.5.0. While it’s not a massive patch, there are a few key changes that players should know about.
The most noticeable update is the removal of the Mexican League from the game which was recently reported to return in the EA Sports FC series. Most of the league’s clubs are no longer available, though a few popular teams like Club América, CD Guadalajara, Pumas, and Tigres UANL are still in the game. These teams can now be found under the North and Central America region in the Others category.
Another change is that all player cards, except Standard ones, will now be automatically locked when acquired. This should prevent players from accidentally modifying or discarding valuable cards without noticing.
There are also a few visual updates and gameplay fixes. Here’s a full summary of what version 4.5.0 brings:
