Wow... I have to say, after seeing the video, that I'm even more excited about this game than before... Konami's marketing are working well this year, this Seabass interview was a great move.
I was initially sad to hear that people would be able to purchase the same players. I will agree that the option of a private league would be a good thing. It would be a good way for people to make sure that nobody had the same players.
Having said that, though, the fact that the player prices will be dictated by the market, which will force you to try and find promising young players, is an exciting premise.
Also, even though it will be a tad disappointing to run into a player with the same players as mine (even though that hardly happens, because I tend to pick mid-level players, and stay away from superstars), that was what happened back in the day when me and my friends would gather around, ML teams in their memory cards, and challenge each others in a tournament. So it ain't that different - many of us had Figo, Rui Costa, Shevchenko, Davids, etc. and it still was fun, I guess.
Well, great stuff, I guess. And the stadium editor looks great as well. Hopefully we can use it to design our own stadium for our ML team!
Cheers,
