10 Things Pro Evolution Soccer Needs To Change To Compete With FIFA Again

4. Further Licences

PES 2020 Barceola

Since time began If you are playing PES it is a given you won’t be playing with the correct names. The orange1, orange2 player names are up there in folk law along with Tyneside White and North London Red.

However, club sponsors have reaped rewards in recent years. Specific player and stadium likenesses for those they do have licence to do so have never looked better. In game you could make a good argument that graphically PES has the edge. However, more is needed. It will never be able to hold all the names of the big clubs across Europe, but if they can add a few more while picking up other league licences from around the world it helps.

While there are downloadale option files out there for diehard fans on PlayStation the majority of casual players will not be bothered enough. The lack of licenses has always somewhat been part of the PES charm, but every additional one Konami can add helps improve the overall package of the game.
