There, fixed that for you.

I truly don't understand how people still bury PES because of its lack of licenses...with a quick option file, these issues aren't just fixed, but made better than the "official" stuff. I'll take the better game with more editing ability and fewer licenses any day.

Saying that, I skipped both PES and FIFA this year. FIFA I just don't believe is a good value nor a fun representation of the game (as an offline exclusive player), but I do love the handling of players and controls, something that kept me from buying PES this year. I've probably outgrown gaming, but even though this release sounds great, I've been burned by PES many times over the years.

It's the new generation of online gamers who just want to insta-download the latest roster or patch and have everything done for them. Ten years ago sports games were all about offline modding and modding communities. Times change, although that doesn't explain gamers' ignorance regarding the availability of better, more complete user-created option files.

The one thing I don't like is how little licensed teams they have. They can't even license MLS!

Playing lag free online isnt even a safe assumption today. I'm rooting hard for them to bring the franchise back to the top.. Their track record with new consoles doesn't exactly give me hope.

You're being charitable. MLO is pretty much ruined by lag. People talk about licenses and engines, but to me the main thing FIFA has going for it is a completely dominant online package. In terms of performance, playability and replay value. PES is gonna have to compete online if they ever want to put a dent in FIFA's crown.

I have no reason to buy PES until they get more licensed teams. All the teams I want are in Fifa. The only thing PES has over them is the Champions League which they have an alternate version in Fifa.

this is probably the least likely reason I would ever go for one footie game over the other at this point... as many others have said... PES has many option files and edits available. I'm not going to tell you what to do but this should never be a reason not to buy PES imo

I agree with this... I started out with PES last year but moved on to FIFA just for the simple fact of online gaming. FIFA online is very dominant over PES online.. it's not really close at all. Most footie or sports gamers are going to buy the the better online experience in the end every time. It's unacceptable for Konami not to have better online. They need to copy EA... why not have clubs online in PES even? they need to get a lot better servers or something as well. EA at least tries for 11 v 11 and has been doing it for a couple of years now. Konami is still stuck on trying to get 1 v 1 done right it seems like.

with that said.. the new PES engine sounds great.. and even if it still sucks online I will probably buy the new PES I'm sure because of the gameplay. but in the end for me these days.. the replay value does not last as long for me anymore if the game is only playable offline. I can only play the computer AI so much... and I am to old to sit around and play my buddies offline anymore. boy do I miss the old PES PS2 offline multiplayer days though. It's odd that konami doesn't understand if they had good online mulitplayer.. people would flock back to their footie game fast

I'm sure I will play both again next year
