I'm awaiting for the Japanese Version to come out as I want the Japanese Team licensed as that would save me a lot more time editing players and save 3 kit spaces...but reading all your comments, the wait is KILLING ME!!!
However, I do agree that playing the demo and watching videos, this game is great...maybe even better than FIFA (haven't tried both, so can't comment on them completely), but the main grudge that many people have with PES now is that it is a great game, can be super realistic and great simulator, yet, you have to do all the work. From the graphical input, data input, tactical changes, or even stat changes just to make the game that more realistic, that is a huge problem.
It makes the game "customizable", but it also says that Konami could've done it, but they didn't (Be it lack of manpower, lack of time, lack of effort, or just damn laziness, I don't know). But it is possible to have this as one of the best games ever if we spend the time....
So for those interested in it, this is definitely the game to get. For those that want something great off the box, this isn't.
