I think that this "no more kitserver" situation is actually good, because once it must brake - KONAMI must realize that people won`t do their job anymore. Year after year they bring almost no inovations, and if they were just a little bit smarter, they would implement all the kitserver fitures after the very first kitserver release (for PES 5, i think) into their next PES. People LOVE to edit PES serial, but KONAMI makes no effort to make that passion easy to accomplish, and that is a big no-no... If you want to last, give people what they want - give them as much CHOICES as they would, and by no means DO NOT limit their creativity.
Just imagine if KONAMI would release a tool for stadium creation/editing, or one for a complete player body/face lift, or maybe one just for player posing so the kimakers could see their creations a bit better... Imagine if we had a possibility to freely move and position camera in replay mode, how fantastic videos could be created.
Yes, we all play PES because of the gameplay, but even in that segment we have some serious bugs - "free kick freezed player", stupid, and like they can`t solve that problem for, how much... 5 months and 3 updates? It just shows how much actually they care of the fans.
It`s better this way... FIFA has all other segments of the game, atmosphere, graphics, CHOICES, but we play PES because of the football, the gameplay, and because we like it, but if KONAMI and their PES-developing team won`t make some effort to really do something "evolutional", for a change, then PES is going to dissapear, and that`s the way it should be - either FIFA will crush them in forecoming years, either some other football simulation will uprise, but either way - it`s good for the community.
Be not affraid
