1. I don't agree. Gameplay is the most important part in a football game. Would you rather have nice menus and all licenses instead of great gameplay?
2. Yes in your face marketing sells, but the same goes for a good product. But i rather buy a good product than a product that was marketed in my face

And Konami can't afford marketing like EA. So imo they better spend the resources in making a good product than marketing.
I dont think you understand what i am saying, Fifa is not a bad product it doesnt have major flaws and for the most part fifa as a game works, a bit too clinical anyway. The main problem is that the gameplay is very shallow and has no soul but for the most part it is a product, it is a good product.
Even if Pes manages to get the gameplay right it will always lack polish. I cannot spot 1 game right now in 2014 with the kind of crappy presentation pes has. That is why most people leave pes because it looks like a poor man's version of a football game.
You tell adam this he says gameplay is focus , i dont disagree with this but for the most part in most games especially 2k every feature gets treatment and improvement. The replays in pes look bland it doesnt quite replicate the emotion pes used to have.
Adam bhatti was recently asked if the pitch wears off in pes 2015 and he said the focus was on replicating realistic grass lenghts for stadiums which is quite stupid.
The former is clearly more important than the latter and looking at the EPL you see that it actually does happen and you see marks and wear on the pitch. This is another classic konami stupidity.
When you watch football matches you notice pitch wear more than realistic grass lenght. It looks good on fifa albeit exaggerated but good all the same. Its almost like there is a ban on wanting things that promote immersion in the game.
Gameplay is focus but gameplay should be improved as with everything in the game. Like seriously realistic grass lenght?, a casual football watcher would be more drawn to fifa seeing as it tries to replicate the real life matches he watches.
This is stupid and its 2014 not 1999 and pes still looks like a 90's game because of how its presented things were fine during the time of pes 6 because of the technology but now things have changed and technology has evolved and we still get the same lame excuses.
I can bet that the nets will still be steel cages even with the extra development time due to the game's release date. Like it or not the nets take away the feeling of scoring.
Watching gamescom videos still leaves a bad taste in my mouth when i see the ball bounce back out like a fucking brick wall. Once again, fifa has options for net tension and shape.
Like i said this and many other reasons are why people are very uninterested in pes or anything pes related because konami has succeded in making pes feel cheap and subpar.
So far im not feeling pes 2015 yet, it still looks cheap, and poorly presented
