After its launch over a month ago, Konami's eFootball 2021 has received its first Patch 0.9.1 Update, which has brought in potential fixes and improvements for the football management simulation game, especially its several issues, bugs, and visual glitches.
However, according to Dual Shockers, these fixes will not fully polish the game, as they are still under development as of this writing, which means that the developers of the game are still working on them to make them work in the coming days and weeks to ensure that the issues will be solved.
On the other hand, the developing team revealed that they are delaying the release of the full version of the game, which supposedly within this November, to the Spring of 2022.
