8. PES Only Has 20 Stadiums
Football stadiums are fairly important, no least because they play host to the drama of the sport and house the avid spectators who have turned up to watch their team. They're also important when it comes to football simulation games which, in addition to many gameplay elements, are significantly boosted by having authentic stadiums and the realistic pageantry of a matchday. PES 14 will only have 20 stadiums, while FIFA will have 24 licensed venues such as Old Trafford, Wembley Stadium and White Hart Lane, and an additional 29 unlicensed stadiums. The reason for this is that EA have agreements with pretty much every major league, club and stadium in the world, meaning they can deliver to fans a more realistic simulation experience through the simple matter of actually having authentic stadia.
