I've been thinking more about the release we'll be getting on September 30th, most specifically the 9 teams available for friendly matches, which I find ridiculous, and the more I think about it the more ridiculous it sounds.
Since the main offline modes won't be coming for a while, I imagine that most of us will only download eFOOTBALL at first to play a couple of friendlies, to get a feel for the gameplay and direction they're going for. I can't see any reason why they wouldn't allow us to play as all of the teams in the game, or at least most of the ones from the top european leagues. I know that for PES Lite having few teams available was the standard, but there was a reason for that, it was to not take away from the value of the full game, but that doesn't exist anymore, this download is the full game.
Now, I know what many might be thinking, the reason we can't play as all of the teams is because they're not ready yet, since the game is clearly unfinished at this stage and we'll be getting something that's more of a demo than a full game, fair enough, but the main appeal, the only substancial thing one will be able to do in this 1st release is playing the new MyClub, or Creative Team, something like that. This is the mode that has all of the packs, the squad building card element to it, and for it to work it needs a player database, surely when you open a pack you'll be able to get a player from a team that isn't one of the 9 available for friendlies. Also, these kinds of modes ask you to choose a real life team to use as a base, so your team can have a crest and kit, surely you'll be able to do that aswell, right?
So, if we take those things in consideration, we must have the players in the game's database, alongside the club's crests and kits, so why aren't the clubs implemented in the friendly match mode? It doesn't make any sense, unless when people download eFOOTBALL to play MyClub/Creative Team they only get to choose from 9 clubs to use as a base, and can only get players from those 9 clubs, now that'd be hilarious.
