How To Adjust Match Duration in eFootball with Ease
Adjusting the match duration in eFootball can really change how the game feels. Sometimes, it’s nice to have quick matches after a long day, or longer ones if you’re into full-on battles. But figuring out where to tweak that setting? Yeah, it’s not obvious, especially since menus can be a bit tricky or might differ based on the platform. So, here’s what’s worked—been there, done that.
Step 1: Launch the eFootball Application
First, open up the game. Make sure it’s updated so you’re not running into weird bugs. Sometimes, old versions hide options or cause glitches. Once inside, move towards the match setup. On some setups, this is in the main menu or the match selection screen. If you’re on PC or console, just start a match first, then look for the settings—it’s kind of weird, but sometimes you gotta do it during the match setup screen.
Step 2: Select a Match Mode
Pick a game mode you want to tweak the settings for. Could be a trial match, exhibition, or any mode. You’re gonna want to get into the options before actually starting the game. On some devices, this is done after selecting your team, before hitting “Start.”
Step 3: Access the Settings Menu
Look for that gear icon—usually in the corner of the screen or somewhere in the menu. It’s the usual Settings button. Now, here’s a tiny tip: if your menu looks different, try looking under a “More Options” menu or sometimes it might be hidden under submenus. When you find it, click on it. This is where a lot of players get frustrated, because the menu layout can vary.
Step 4: Navigate to the Adjust Settings
Inside the menu, find the option called Adjust. On PC or console, it’s often within the main settings, maybe under “Gameplay” or “Match Settings,” depending on the version. If it’s not obvious, try looking for anything related to “Match Duration” or “Time Settings.”
Step 5: Change Stadium Time
Scroll down to find Stadium Time; here, you might get options for day or night, or sometimes brightness. Not super crucial if you’re just after match length, but hey, it’s part of the vibe. Choosing between day or night doesn’t affect gameplay, but some folks like the aesthetic. Confirm the choice by clicking Done. On some versions, this might be an extra toggle or dropdown menu.
Step 6: Modify Match Time
This is the main thing—scroll back up or down until you see Match Time. Here, select your preferred game length: 4, 6, 10 minutes, or sometimes custom options. If you see preset times, pick what suits you best. After that, hit Done. Yes, it’s that simple, but don’t be surprised if it doesn’t seem to stick if you do it after starting a match or in certain modes.
Step 7: Finalize Your Settings
Double-check everything before going in. Make sure your match time is set the way you want. Sometimes, if settings aren’t saved properly, you’ll need to go back or restart the game. If you’re trying to change match duration mid-game, well—here’s a heads-up: usually, that’s not allowed unless you’re in a custom lobby or specific settings menu.
Extra Tips & Common Issues
Another thing: if stuff isn’t saving, try restarting the app or your device—sometimes, the game just won’t apply new settings until you do. Also, keep the game updated because developers sometimes push patches that alter menu layouts or add new options. If options are missing or not working, clearing cache (on consoles or PC) or reinstalling can sometimes fix it. Just note, on some versions, the match length might be locked to preset options, so no custom times there.
Conclusion
Once you find the right menu, changing the match length isn’t too bad. Just keep in mind, menus vary a lot, and sometimes settings don’t save as expected. Exploring the menus a bit and experimenting can save a lot of frustration. Happy tuning your matches—may your games be just the right length!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change match time during an ongoing game?
Nope, you usually gotta set it before the match starts. Once the game kicks off, it’s locked in most cases.
Is there a limit to how long I can set the match duration?
Yep, most versions stick to preset options—like 4, 6, or 10 minutes. Custom options aren’t always available unless it’s a specific mode or a certain platform.
Will changing match time affect my gameplay experience?
Definitely. Longer matches mean more time to really get into a battle, while shorter ones force quick play and fast action. It’s kind of fun experimenting with different durations to see what works.
