What PES Needs to Do to Catch FIFA

This is very true. PES should just fork up the money for a real FIFA license and not just the teams in Champions League.

Official licensing goes a long way and sells games no matter what the quality, just look at Madden, EA knows this and it is precisely why they are so desperate to snatch up exclusive rights. I'm not saying that FIFA is a bad game at all, but if PES had all of the real teams and leagues that FIFA had, EA would be in big trouble in the soccer department.

EA could sell snow to an eskimo or water to a whale, their marketing and advertising is that good.

PES 11 was advertised on FSC last year all year.

I have to agree...

If Konami held a presser and said "We have a full FIFA License...." the fit would hit the shan.

It would be the biggest development in football gaming in...forever...and maybe the biggest in sports gaming, in terms of how it could affect this rivalry/competition.

The only thing even close was EA's cornering the American football market with their exclusivity deal.
