Let's not fool ourselves - when it came down to either pleasing the corporate tie-ins for the boots or the hardcore fanbase, the decision was fairly simple. Shame really as it always seemed as though Konami seemed to be fighting the good fight and EA was in it for the moneygrab - now look who's sold out their game for greed. Looks like from here on out, it's mainly an evolution of $
OK, before I shut up about this subject, let me say clearly why something seems fishy.
1. Konami added a new feature to ML which they seemed to realise would be very unpopular with the hardcore fanbase, because rather than trumpeting it in pre-release publicity like any other innovation, they kept completely silent about it. They didn't even tell their number one cheerleader, who only knew about it when he got his preview code - in fact, they hauled him over the coals for going public a few weeks before release.
2. Unlike every other feature in ML since the beginning of time, Konami fixed it so this can't be switched off, so anyone who doesn't like magic boots etc can't get out of it that way.
3. They removed League Mode so that anyone who doesn't like magic boots etc can't get out of it that way.
4. There are suggestions that they've removed offline Community mode so that anyone who doesn't like magic boots etc can't get out of it that way. Even if they haven't, it means you have to go through a weirdly convoluted process to play a non-magical league.
5. Why, when Konami seemed to know that this feature would be hugely unpopular, did they take so many steps to ensure you couldn't switch it off - to the point of completely removing popular longstanding game modes, thus diminishing PES 2013 as an overall package?
6. Any possible answer to that question is very worrying and/or very depressing, don't you think?
