MSN trio send nostalgic ripple through eFootball Community !

The Return of MSN: Messi, Suarez and Neymar in eFootball 2025.

After more than a week now since their release, the double-booster Epic Cards of Messi, Suarez, and Neymar would have had ample time to integrate into the teams of millions of eFootball players worldwide. The topic of MSN has been the epicentre of all discussions across social media, capturing the attention of pro players, casual players, streamers and even non-players of the game since the shock release of the player pack on November 21, 2024.

The method by which Konami (maker of eFootball) released the pack was slightly unconventional. No hints, promotional content or leaks were given prior to the release date. Players across the globe woke up that Thursday morning to discover a brand new pack containing:

• Lionel Messi (BIG TIME): 108 Prolific Winger
• Luis Suarez: 105 Goal Poacher
• Neymar Jr: 104 Prolific Winger

Feedback on MSN: First Impressions, Player Details, Criticism.

Although no conclusive data is available yet, it seems likely that this MSN pack will become one of the most successful releases in eFootball history.

Players worldwide were immediately stunned to see the reunion of Messi, Suarez, and Neymar in a football simulation game. Fuelled by nostalgia, they eagerly emptied their pockets to secure one of the most iconic forward lines of the century. The inclusion of Suarez as an Epic Card for the first time added to the excitement.

Luis Suarez arrived as a Goal Poacher with the Bullet Header Showtime Skill, while Prolific Winger Messi showcased the Blitz Curl skill. These features contributed to the buzz among eFootball enthusiasts, as their stats and attributes made them highly desirable. However, Neymar seemed the least powerful of the three, as he came without a specific Showtime skill.

The mobile community of eFootball is not particularly fond of the default “Chop Turn” skill that comes with this Neymar card because it interferes with the Marseille turn skill; this is due to the lack of manual controls available on the mobile platform. Neymar card's manoeuvrability on the pitch is almost second to none and this makes him still quite fun to use due to his high dribbling abilities. The use of Finesse Dribbling in this New Meta gameplay of eFootball 2025 would still be seen as a dangerous weapon - for people who prefer slow patient fun gameplay and enjoy holding the ball.

Lionel Messi: The Standout Favourite

Among the three, Lionel Messi has emerged as the clear favourite, based on gameplay reviews and critiques. His new double-booster Big Time card features inflated stats, comparable only to his previous three Big Time Cards which came bundled in a single pack and was released in a similarly spontaneous manner.

The Blitz Curl skill adds another dimension to his gameplay, though his automatic points allocation doesn’t push his Curl stat to 99 or 100.

Many players have reported online that this Messi card is now the best Blitz Curl player in the game. His unique animations (Player ID) make the card even more special in-game.

State of Game After MSN

In the current eFootball league, at least one or two of every five online squads feature at least one of the MSN cards. The most commonly used are Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, while the Brazilian Neymar pack for 1,800 coins is deemed sufficient by many players, explaining why Messi and Suarez are more frequently included in online lineups.

Some players, however, have expressed concerns about the future of the game. The continual inflation of stats-such as Messi's 108 rating, could lead to absurdly high ratings in the future (e.g., 120+), potentially undermining the game's balance and integrity.

Despite the increasing number of overpowered cards, gameplay issues remain. Server inconsistency, input delays, and unresponsive player mechanics continue to frustrate players, even with high-speed internet and strong connections.

Expiration of the MSN pack

Messi, Suarez, and Neymar from the MSN pack are still available for purchase using eFootball coins. Thousands of YouTubers and streamers continue to review and showcase gameplay featuring these legendary ex-Barcelona players.

This pack will expire on December 4, 2024, at 2:00 UTC (2:00 am Coordinated Universal Time), giving players ample time to acquire one, two, or all three of the MSN starts through micros transactions.

Have you managed to add any or all of these magnificent Barcelona legends to your squad? the opportunity is still available to everyone to claim this legendary trident. Take them to the pitch and dominate your opponents in eFootball today!
