eFootball 2022 is arriving in just ONE WEEK!
So, we're taking an in-depth look at all the new features coming to the game formally known as PES.
Latest - All-new 'Power Kicks'
A feature that will be new to eFootball 2022 is the addition of 'Power Kicks'.
The power kicks add a new dimension to shooting and passing and can be activated by holding R2/RT and then choosing your input.
However, you will need a good amount of time and space to pull this off.
A normal pass/shot/cross will be green on the power gauge, however, a power kick will turn the gauge blue.
