Would you be prepared to pay an extra £10 to get fully licensed leagues?

so is EA's ownership to the logos from the premiership, for example, COMPLETELY exclusive?

PES has acquired Spurs & Newcastle's official endorsement for it's new game.

It's a shame, because apart from the licenses, EA's games bare very little resemblance to the real life.

Give EA the licenses and SI will deliver the game play.

Balance isn't that bad.

I would pay £10 to remove all licences from the game and give us a more powerful editor (ability to create new leagues from existing structures for example).

^ and to have the database files broken up into more pieces (by nation for example) so that people can download data updates for individual countries without having to overwrite their whole database.

(EA actually had these features correct in TCM 2004...don't know about now as i switched to FM in 2005).

Absolutely. PES has a fan created option file every season which works very well. Even with the current database, it would be very possible for the fans to add in the realistic players and clubs themselves.

I want prefer to pay 10€ LESS and see all the other licenses from the other countries disappear.

Why?

•I'm a long term player, I play games of 30 or 40 years, so the real names don't are an option for me

•You can find quality face-, badge- and other packs by dozen for free...

LOL...i actually meant to say i'd pay £10 less to remove all licences...that makes more sense, doesn't it?

PES got the rights for Newcastle and Tottenham, it's possible to get club rights seperate from league rights. However, as there are a large number of clubs this wouldn't be a very smart financial option.

If the licenses for every kit, logo, badge, player/staff pictures for every team in the game were available id pay double the price of the game.

I feel it adds alot to the game for some reason, not sure why though

I am swiss and I know it: money buys everything!
It's sad, but at the moment money makes the world go round (very unfortunately - see england's overpayed primadonnas)

What you are asking for is a product which costs £15.00 doesn't have any real leagues already included just the match engine and tatics etc. but allows complete freedom for the end user to download which ever league they wish for.

That's what this game was back in the day...what are you, 14?

That's also what Pro Evolution Soccer was only 3 years ago before they got the Serie A licence (J-League doesn't count...we'd never know if it was realistic anyway!)

Would you be prepared to pay an extra £10 to get fully licensed leagues?
