Wait til next gen? That's no excuse, the first next gen title will be shit, same as the first PS2 one was, it'll be about getting the first title onto shelves as quickly as possible because they know it's a license to print money, then people will be saying "blah blah it's cos the PS3 is new, wait until they learned how to make the most of it", soon enough it'll be "wait for next gen, on the Playstation 4 we'll finally see a decent ML", it's all bollocks.
Konami are now lazy and money hungry, they're surviving solely on their gameplay (which they seem determined to also break with crap like scripting and AI cheating), they're ruining all other areas of the game for no reason, they add features one year, then remove them the next. Konami are doing exactly what EA did, releasing yearly games which don't give anything new, adding features that are exceptionally poorly implemented then removing them instead of fixing them, they also don't fix bugs that stay in there version after version, missing assisters for one, crappy AI substitutions for another, bring on a susbitute then 2 minutes later sub him to bring another forward on, pathetic, Konami need to wake up and smell the scent of disgust before another company is smart enough to combine gameplay with longevity.
