Just found this post on the other PES 14 thread:
My anticipation for the game has just fallen through the floor. No matter how good the football itself, without a nice deep mode off the pitch, I'll get bored.
Konami, it's time to throw ML out and replace it with a proper Career Mode like the other game. Not strip it to the bones!
Incidentally, why has this forum seen fit to lump us in with the prehistoric PS2 and similar machines??
I'm very surprised at how quickly you took the impressions of this person as gospel. Adam openly responded to this via Twitter. He also outlined all the wonderful depth that the mode had. THe man making this claim had not even delved fully into the mode.
Here is Adam's response:
Come around party idea not so great me thinks.
Sure, it's not great. I came in mid production and the team told me they had a focus list of things they could implement, so we concentrated on implementing national and club team management as a priority. But your impressions are way off.
And people will see that too. You bought Sanchez for 10mil because he was transfer listed, or available to purchase? Same as PES 2013. The % things comes into account when trying to buy players who aren't available, as well as team ranking.
The other items were removed based on feedback. Not much I can do if people say the secretary and coach are annoying. The training is based on the PES 2011 training, which was used this year with the removal of boosting.
Club change is based on how you perform. Do poorly, and you'll be sticking to your league and maybe get a choice of other countries. Do well, you'll have a choice of clubs throughout the leagues in the game.
Club World Cup added.
Club change added
Player development fixed (no one going over 99 etc)
International management with all cups added (Europe, WC, AFCON, ASIAN ETC)
Heart (makes all games significantly different)
Able to purchase player across continent
Loads of new cutscenes and moments throughout a season
I would say this: the mode is definitely not all I want from a career experience. Definitely have higher expectations. But, it's a million times better than PES 2013 ML.
Feedback welcome as always, but I'll be getting all feedback from Asim/Suff/Nico from now on. Extremely fed up from coming here and it being the polar opposite of what the majority are thinking, and seeing odd disrespectful comments from users I've blocked on twitter, or even ppl all nice to me there and two-faced here. (not aimed at you Mancan, just to be clear)
