But as the announcement made clear, this single-player mode is called <strong>My League<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The official press bumf tells us: \u201cThe new \u2018My League\u2019 game mode will see users placed in leagues from around the world, playing a season against the other clubs within them controlled by the AI.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This update is out now, so you should be able to try out My League today, if you download eFootball 2024. The game is out on PS4, PS5 Xbox One, Xbox Series X, iOS, Android and PC (both Steam and Windows 10).<\/p> <p>The press materials added a few more specifics, noting that My League does connect to the existing Dream Team mode (eFootball\u2019s equivalent of FIFA\/FC\u2019s Ultimate Team).<\/p>\n<p>Konami said: \u201cMy League is a new game mode for eFootball 2024. In it, users will play against the AI one season at a time using their Dream Team. Users may add players on loan from the team they selected in the league (eg AC Milan in the Italian League).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout the season, users will see weather effects and various new cutscenes, including a special trophy celebration if they are able to top the table come the end!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis game mode can be played as many times as a user may want, as well as being able to switch leagues once a season is completed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is a long-awaited day for eFootball\/Pro Evo fans, and it\u2019ll be interesting to see what the fan base makes of this new mode! Of course, many will keep hoping that the exact Master League experience does come back in future, as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/one-more-life-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One More Life podcast<\/a>, subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/gaming-newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free newsletter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">follow us on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest gaming intel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something to watch?
