EA should attempt to replicate as close as possible the presentation elements of those tournaments without violating any license or official imagery. If they cant implement an editor I feel the champions cup and Euro league need an overhaul in their presentation.

But with the resources FIFA has, lack of new faces etc should never be an issues, even when they have players scanned and don't use them. PES is 10 years behind in that department. I really do find the FIFA presentation great tbh. I hope pes doesn't lose the champions league as it could hurt the game but would love to see FIFA's take on it. PES doesn't have much presentation wise, commentary is horrendous, pes can come across as tacky. With FIFA, there's issues but the licencing, esthetics and presentation of the game help massively. It was the start of a new 3 year cycle, again some great new animations and improvements to game play but feels half done campaired with pes17. The A.I is poor and even the recent patch hasn't really changed much. Not saying pes18 is a bad game but it feels half done as a game, some nice additions to the game, random select as you say is great as a mode. It is odd, I actually really enjoyed pes17 but couldn't get going with pes18. Managed to swap my 57 rated keeper for a mate's De Gea on the last attempt, leaving him with no decent keepers at all However, Random Selection Match is a great addition, brilliant to do with your mates. FIFA fans complain about 18 being 17.1, but that's nothing compared to PES. Bought 18, but it's so similar to 17 that it feels like a waste of money. PES 17 was the first one I bought for years, and I enjoyed it.

It's very strange, PES has strong sales in some countries in Asia and South America, but in UEFA's region there are very few countries where it comes anywhere close to FIFA. Odd that uefa team up with a game that's out sold something like 17:1 to FIFA. A.I is atrocious, at that coming from me, a big pes fan. PES is in an odd place at the minute, Adam Bhatti has just moved to Japan to be closer to the Dev team, pes2018 had so far been a disaster unfortunately. They have been getting individual team licences recently due to losing leagues / competitions. I think konami will probs get it, konami need it tbh as it's their big licence. Konami have shown that they're willing to pay for big licenses (eg UEFA/Barca) and that they'll make much better use of them than EA will.
