Welll said mate, it's a disgrace isn't it?
By all means, have a donation link on your website, I'd happily give £5 to help support their work. But forcing people to pay is wrong.
Absolutely.
On a more positive note though, the game is getting better and better the more I play it.
It really is like the ps2 days where you would see more little touches the more you played it. I found previous versions couldn't really capture that.
Player individuality is also as pronounced as it's ever been. It's early days obviously as I've only been playing it since the 13th but so far this is the best PES game out of all the ps3 and ps4 versions.
I enjoyed 2016 but 2017 really is ahead, the only "issue" is at first glance it might not be apparently obvious to people casually looking, but stick with it and the game opens up.
