Licences and stadiums list:

Licences - horrible as ever, better than 16/17 i believe, but not good enough. We need more NEW LEAGUES not just NEW CLUBS. They need to do this asap before EA comes to their senses first, and steals everything else that can be stolen.
Stadiums - we get a few more from last year, and lose none, so it's acceptable.
Ultimate stage appears to be that fantasy CL stadium and it will have exterior view too.
With a bit of modding, it can probably be turned into something realistic and really great.
I do wonder what's this PES LEAGUE stadium though, is it maybe exclusive to that e-sports pes league that was announced before?
Here's the first job for our stadium modders, unlock "the ultimate stage" for use in edit mode/ML/etc as well as region lock for stadiums.
It also appears the fake generic leagues, such as PES, PEU, PLA leagues are not there, but they weren't on the list for last year either but were in the game. Hopefully it's same this year, if they cut them, we lose our bundesliga or ability to have extra leagues...
I also can't see Signal iduna, Arena Corinthians either, or Royal London/Metropole arena stadiums on their site, but hopefully that's just a bug.
With the current features and all the new features for PC, 2018 will be pretty good and acceptable on PC, but if PES 2019 doesn't have some significant cool new modes, upgrades to existing modes, much more licensed teams, and especially new leagues and stadiums, massively improved edit mode with the return of some old features, and massive improvements to master league, we'll be back to square one.
Lets hope they are smart enough for next year like they sort of were for PES 2018 PC.
