Yes, Become a Legend mode is coming to eFootball 2023

Konami has officially confirmed that the acclaimed Become a Legend mode will be added to eFootball 2023. This fan-favorite mode, which allows players to control a single player over their entire career, will be included as paid DLC likely launching in 2024.

Expanded Content and Modes in Upcoming Versions

The v2.5.0 update for eFootball 2023 is shaping up to be a major expansion. Here are some of the key additions:

  • My Team Player Slots: Capacity increased from 500 max to 900 max using GP acquisition
  • Matchday Mode: Real-time recreation of match weekends with bonuses
  • Player Card Acquisition: Added mechanisms like Packs, Box Draws, Special Agents
  • Licensed Club Partnerships: Additional 10 partner clubs across Europe signed

Konami has hinted at more authentic licenses and content partnerships down the line. But for now, v2.5.0 brings much needed depth for master team builders.

What Does This Mean for Gameplay?

With up to 900 playable players, eFootball 2023 will enable new squad configurations and tactical versatility. The boost in content volume could position eFootball as a rival to top games like FIFA, which have thousands of player assets and extensive club licensing.

If Konami continues investing in content, eFootball may evolve into the customization sandbox PES fans once enjoyed while restoring licenses lost during the rebrand.

Addressing Missing Modes – Master League and Become a Legend

Master League, the acclaimed manager mode letting players guide a club long-term, remains absent from eFootball 2023. This has angered fans seeking the prestige and leadership fantasy Master League encapsulates.

While Become a Legend arrives to sate player-career demands, Master League‘s absence leaves a noticeable vacuum. Its intricate systems like transfers, youth development, budgets, and backroom staff are unmatched.

Reintroducing Master League could bring eFootball closer to delivering today‘s Career Mode standard, so far only met by EA Sports‘ FIFA games. The onus is on Konami to restore or reinvent this sentimental favorite.

My Take – eFootball 2023 Shaping Up As an Evolution

As an avid PES player for over 15 years, I have a complex relationship with eFootball 2023. While stripped down at launch, recent updates prove Konami still values delivering a competitive, authentic football experience.

The vision seems to be an accessible, free-to-play entry point leading to a broader platform. Become a Legend‘s return combined with expanded My Team scale shows eFootball pivoting from mobile simplicity towards simulations recalling PES‘ glory days.

There is potential for eFootball 2023 to become a modernized PES – marrying arcade enjoyment with management depth. But Konami must stay aggressive acquiring licenses and innovating modes to truly complete the rebuild.

I‘m cautiously optimistic about this platform‘s future. But Konami must capitalize on current goodwill by bringing back Maser League ASAP – the one glaring omission no fan can ignore.

Overall, positive momentum for this series once left for dead. As patches arrive eFootball 2023 gradually mirrors its PES foundations – a welcome sight for any football gaming fan.
