Strong eFootball Squads Become Useless Because of Momentum

I have been playing the mobile version of eFootball 2026 since the very first day the game was released, and I finally want to report a major issue that I can no longer tolerate. The system commonly known as “momentum” completely removes the importance of player skill and team quality from match outcomes.

Most of the opponents I face use teams built with free or standard low-level players, while I have spent approximately $500–$750 over time building a strong squad full of high-quality and high-rated players. Despite this, during matches the game constantly shifts the momentum in favor of my opponents, making it nearly impossible to win even when I clearly have the stronger team. Watching a squad that I built through hard work and real money become so ineffective on the field completely destroys the sense of fairness in the game.

I experience similar situations in almost every match. Even players with very limited gameplay knowledge are able to turn games around and win simply because of the momentum system. This mechanic damages competitive balance and prevents players from standing out based on their actual skill and the strength of their squads. For years I tolerated this situation hoping it would eventually improve, but it has now reached an unbearable level, which is why I decided to formally complain about it.

My expectation from Konami is that the momentum system in eFootball either be removed entirely or fundamentally redesigned in a fair and balanced way that truly supports competitive gameplay. Otherwise, I want to make it clear that I will no longer spend another dollar on the game, and I will also warn my friends not to spend money on it either. As players, all we want is a fair and enjoyable gaming experience where everyone succeeds based on their own squad quality and gameplay skill.
