eFootball 2022 Season 2 update 1.1.4 (patch notes) brings a variety of bug fixes on all platforms

Konami released the Season 2 update 1.1.4 for eFootball 2022 on July 21, and it brings a slew of bug fixes and global improvements. The company took their familiar PES, or Pro Evolution Soccer, series and turned it into a free-to-play live-service title, eFootball 2022.

At launch, the game was criticized for its lack of content and for being unplayable due to bugs. But the company has since kept trying to ensure that isn't the case. The patch notes for the just-released update are now available.
