Re: PES 2014 discussion thread (NO PIRACY TALK, YOU WILL GET BANNED!)
Sounds like it's a case of brilliant on the pitch, but rather... meh... off the pitch. Note to Konami: You do not need heaps of licences to make ML more like Fifa's CM. Repeat: You. Do. Not. Need. Heaps. Of. Licences! I mean, there's tons of unlicenced stuff in PES anyway - the modders always take care of that - so why not pack your game with content, licenced or not? EA do not hold a monopoly over a realistic football world and by the sounds of it, it's this aspect that is still holding PES back from being the best overall football game package.
I haven't played the game yet (I'm holding fire to see some reviews and preferably to play the demo for myself), but it sounds as though the football itself is amazing, but that's not really enough for me - I need depth off the pitch as well - and I'm sure there are thousands of gamers who feel that way.
Just do it, Konami! Next year, don't just 'revamp' ML. Chuck it out. That's right, I said chuck it out; get rid of it; start (gasp) from scratch! Make an entire new game mode whose sole purpose in life is to knock Fifa's CM off its perch. I know that might upset some PES fans, but ML's very format is dated and in dire need of change. Pack your game with content, Konami - licenced or not (the community will take care of that; even the consoles can use Option Files) - and many people will never look at Fifa again. For me, the second the PC version of Fifa gets Ignite, then I'll be playing Fifa once again (the PC modders always find a way to make the gameplay what it should be) - unless the current situation with PES off the pitch changes and changes a lot. As that review said, Konami's 'nostalgia' is hurting the game's progress.
