Is this game still p2p?

[I3ordo]

They are talking about server loads, hi traffic etc... but this is a p2p game right? So you connect directly to opponents IP and any lag occurs due to his or your connection so there are actually no servers like in fifa that receives inputs and relays them to opposing side...

so wth are they talking about?

Can anyone with the tools check if we are connecting to opponents game client or to a dedicated server?
Thnx

No this is not P2P, or at least my games are not P2P.

To verify you just have to use a tool like NetLimiter, and you will see that the Efootball process is only connecting to servers (PES was connecting to players IP at the opposite).

do they have specific servers though, i know they have a lot in japan but in eu us etc?

According to the DNS record, they do seems to have many locations in Europe (as a French I'm playing on a Deutch server most of my games), they must also have at least the same amount for America if I had to guess.

well despite the game claimed to be not p2p anymore... i think it still is, there are some cheaters in the top ranks which are able to make alterations to the game's connection systems since they re able to make your system not able to connect to theirs so the game still makes use of p2p style connections as there is no other way the cheater can know your ip and operate cheats on it.

Cheaters don't have to have P2P enabled to be able cheat, they use a software which alter the match properties (ex: players stamina) so servers disconnect both players as they don't understand what is happening and where is the issue.

ok, interesting explanation i was more expecting something like a software who let servers connectivity handshake pass througt but block game pings in order that the sloccer game doesnt know if the problem comes from user or their servers

Konami use Google servers ...bc.googleusercontent.com that amount in EU and USA
