This is disgusting yet doesn’t surprise me.
I have links to every PES Universe Option File and if anyone wants one, let me know. I never pay for them - just search on YouTube and there are always people offering links to Google drive. Don’t pay for that stuff - hopefully the PES Universe ‘business’ will disappear with eFootball over the coming months and years.
True Brits will then have to go back to his dodgy commentary for the Eurosport channel and Spoony back to working at Dominos.
And I don’t want anyone telling me that we can’t criticise these people - they literally charge real money for using other company’s PNG files for logos etc. And they’re also extremely rude and arrogant about it all so fuck them. They’re everything that is wrong with modern day PES.
I was editor from PES 2020 and 2021, and sincerely it's a full time job. But i wasn't at all there before 2019 and thinked their OF was pretty bad.
We worked on a very ugly basis, and believe me sometimes it's harder to correct people mistakes than doing the thing yourself.
But they didn't say anything on their account, promising stuffs to people, hidden stuff to people thinked we were a big team... Yes, they're a big team of kitsmakers.
But in term of database we were... 2 and one helping for 6 teams (only) another 4 (that me and Huigoman got to restore from zero, so loss of time, only names were correct etc.).
All the rest you can see on the V7 is practically all mine and Huigoman (Bundes and Libertadores stats, i've redone practically all MLS players, J-league, 15-22 teams on others euro, remove duplicates on AFC... Created all Others Asia from scratch or older version and updated it. Things that the "boss" didn't even know it was possible to do. But i'm editing i mean "really" editing since PES 2! I even remember we rewrited Riquelme over Rivaldo as he left lol, and found that all player from PES 1 got "+10" in stats...)
Sincerely, if an editor is doing a job like i've done... I would say "it's like working. But for free". I received some small gift at the beginning then nothing.
If i count all i've done to reach V7 (EDIT/ i didn't worked on V6 for information but all until V5 and the last V7 first version yes, released pretty late, 5 july i don't even know what V6 looks like, should be plenty of errors but "he" wanted to release a version with transfers ASAP)... And even the last version, i forgot some "teds" and i wasn't done yet in my taste. Just imagine all the database to export... Mostly because of that MLS and their non stop transfers in and out. I never wanted MLS at first, but MX or whatever else, with transfers ending on February, not April.
So no to give to Pesuniverse, but to editors, under pressure for a new version etc. i changed my mind about the "doing all for free".
It depend on one big thing: -If you're doing it because you want it for yourself, or if you're doing stuff you don't even care or like for people.
I never wanted MLS, but i've done the teams faces and stats the best i could (there's 26-27 teams, all updated even in stats for every player, it's not a simple "update"...)
There's also the level of edition, precision that matters. I wouldn't pay for some O.F. i saw with just kits, players names, just changing hairstyle and a bit Overall and it's done. If i do the maths, i can do one league every 4 days by taking my time, if i got kits. The amount of work isn't comparable to check every single stats, build a system to gives overall like / if it was Konami standard, and you were a real data editor working for them. And building faces, assigning boots for all players, checking face in every angle (one big mistake that facemakers don't focus on : the side part of the face. I saw many player looking good from the front, but with a side part super strange with nose +7 length, mouth -7.... In game, the result looks super weird)
