With eFootball, just like its rivals in EA, players love to compete to earn bigger rewards in order to improve their Dream Teams.

The game mode is pretty decent, allowing gamers to build their much-desired squad full of star from across various elite leagues.

The theme for Season 3 is "Back to the Clubs".

As the fierce battles of national pride come to a close, the players have returned to their respective clubs.

Once again, the battlefield shifts from international action to the domestic leagues.
