Konami Grab Champions League License?!?! [Archive]

This has been circulating around the internet for a few days now, but we chose to stay away from it because it sounded ludicrous. It still does, but the more we think about it the more we think its a step Konami could, and need to take.

Italian website PlayReview reported a few days ago that PES 2009 will have the Champions League license in the game. In the report its states that Sony has something to do with it. The problem is there’s a lot in that post that I’m positive is definite rubbish. For e.g. Kaka being the cover star - We at WENB are 100% sure Messi is the star of the game. PlayReview also mentions the fact that Konami have grasped the FIFA license from EA. A big no no, the FSB guys have confirmed as much.

So why aren’t we so critical about the Champions League story? Don’t get us wrong, we are, it’s just that we think its a move Konami should make. It’s an opportunity for them grab some licenses they cant acquire by other means. For example, EA will never give up the English England League License - not a chance. So with the CL they could have the top four teams (in this case Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal & Liverpool) fully licensed INCLUDING the usual other 2 teams they have. It could also tie in with the Master League, finish top four and go straight into an official tournament. The benefits are huge for a game full of authentication issues.

So while this news is a million miles away from being the truth, I hope Konami is aware of how often the license had changed hands in recent years and realise its attainable.

So what does everybody think about this?

I think it would be a step in the right direction, sure the are numerous gameplay problems that need to be sorted out first, but by obtaining the license to the champions league this could lead to a improved master league, we could probably even have champions league music for entrance scenes now, as well as licensed champions league balls, and champions league kits.

A load of pish. I have no idea why WENB have published a rumour like this. Clearly just a sneaky attempt to get people excited and visiting their site.

Let's analyse what the PlayReview.it site says:

According to reliable voices, in fact, Konami has managed to win it official licenses Fifa of all the major leagues.
I don't think so. FIFA has that tied down until 2010 at the earliest.

According to other voices, Konami avrebe also acquired the license of Champions League (of which Sony is sponsoring institutional) to put it in the game
Why would Sony help Konami?

Finally, another reliable voice concerns testimonial dell'edizione this year, which should be the Brazilian Milan Kakà.
No, it'll be Torres and Messi.

Why would Sony help Konami?

It would mean the licenses would only appear on the psp, ps2 and ps3 versions, meaning Sony would have a unique selling point...the more games sold the more money they would get..though i'm not sure what cut Sony gets. It does sound unlikely that this license thing is anything to get excited about, but this could be beneficial to Sony and Konami

..also Sony and their brand Playstation are sponsers of the Champions League..jus saying. It's probably still unlikely though.

Yeah wishful thinking. Konami will not change something they have practically kept exactly the same for 10 years. I just think PES09 will not be much different to what we have now.

I dont think they know who to change it, and i certainly don't think they listen to anything the fans have to sya about the game. Evidence over previous years proves that.

Sad but truth.. PES has been more or less the same game for almost 5 YEARS now!!

I still think PES6 (or PES5) is the best Football game around -but- it's been 5 years of the same shite, it's time to improve it. And then again, I didn't bought a PS3 just so I could play PES6 with better Graphics. I want a game that goes beyond PES4, is that asking for too much?? I don't think so.

That said, it wouldn't surprise me IF Sony helped Konami or EA Sports -because- it is a known FACT that Sony's PS3 has not been as profitable as Sony expected it to be -and- it is also a FACT, that a Football game with the OFFICIAL Champions League License would be hugely profitable BOTH; for the company that produced the game, and for Sony.

According to latest update here, Konami did grab the CL license but might release it under diff game than PES2009??? If its true, it would suck. I think most people wont buy the game just for the CL license, it would be a bad move from konami, unless they produce much2 more improvement that I doubt would be there.

UEFA have indeed given the licence to Konami this time around. UEFA are pushing hard for there to be a stand-alone game, which means Konami may not be able to include it in PES 2009.

Konami selling out ?

They used to be solely concentrated on the gameplay of the series, now it seems to have taken a backseat in order to get the licenses to attract the FIFA fans dare I say it ? I mean, everyone knew PES was never about the licenses, it was about the gameplay, and even the edit mode since that was fun. After playing PES 2008, and I still play it regularly for some unknown reason, maybe it's just the new direction Konami are taking the series in, PES = The New FIFA ?

Just thought I'd throw that in there.

Actually, CL license means NOTHING to me unless they include it in PES2009. That is what I want to see in master league, not some WEFA thing. I hope they dont go the wrong directions, such a shame if they do go the wrong way.

i totally hope this will be true, i hate lookin at fifa licences and goin back to superb pro evo and seeing no licence and i hope they fully licence all the english teams and maybe some others. To be honest master league is ok to me, its like anoda customised league that nobody can copy, its kul, but the real thing will be better and konami shuld keep up on the graphics pes8 was klas, jst some players like bentdnar looked rough, hope they improve that, then pes can rule

This will be a complete and utter tragedy if they make this a stand-alone game, but like Hitman said, the financial benefits are doing so are far too tempting for Konami/UEFA to allow it to happen any other way.

It would be a disaster if the license was only applied in a seperate game, if it's across both the standard release and any additional releases then it's all good.

It would be a disaster if the license was only applied in a seperate game, if it's across both the standard release and any additional releases then it's all good.

But if was to be in the standard release, then there would be absolutely no need for the additional release.

I just really hope Konami doesn't go through with this, implementing the CL license into the usual PES series would mean a vast improvement as far as licensing for realism. Obviously the gameplay must be improved above all else, but it will be infuriating if Konami denied the PES series the opportunity of an official Champions League.

Gooner10

05-07-2008, 18:08

If it is a separate game why would Konami have made known that Pes09 will include this new license unless they expected it to appear in Pes09? Although it's possible they thought this would happen and now UEFA are putting too much pressure on them. I think Konami need to remember the benefit this addition would have to Pes09 and subsequent versions. They hold the license now so surely they can decide what to do with it!? The only worry I have is they'll look at short term profits and see that a separate game would be a big boost economically

Doesn't interest me in the slightest to be honest. It's hardly gonna make me more excited about PES09. They won't be able to compete with EA's licenses if that's what their going for. They should be focusing more on fixing the gameplay rather than the look of the game.

Well yes but having the CL license will definately attract more people because the game would become much better as it would have more replay value (since CL is licensed). I know it's better to fix the gameplay but having the CL license will definately make me buy the game.

Well if they do release 2 different versions, maybe one of them will only include the Champions League (such as the FIFA World Cup games etc)... And the other being the full PES that we know and love...

I think that would be completely disrespectful, that' the kind of thing I expect from EA Sport -but- I really didn't expect the same BS from Konami.

If Konami releases 2 different games; "PES" and "UEFA Champions League" -that- would be a slap in the face to all the fans, it would be rip off -and- if Konami does that shit I'm not going to buy BOTH games. And of course, by doing this, Konami would be giving me another good reason to switch to FIFA.

Yes it would be dreadful, but i think its an option now for Konami since they have got the license and not declared what they are doing with it.

If they do opt for the 2 game release then it could give them extra profit... and, as you all know, big companies LOVE your money!

Well, apparently UEFA's license comes only under ONE condition, and that is that the company MUST release an INDIVIDUAL game for the UEFA Champions League.

I hope UEFA understand that I'm not going to buy such a ridiculous excuse for money, I'm never going to buy a "UEFA Champions League" game -and- I'm not going to buy it because they are ripping people off. The UEFA Champions League should be included in PES09.. What is the point of playing in Europe -if- Europe's most important competition (The UEFA Champions League) isn't included in the game.

Way to go Konami and UEFA.. thanks for giving me another good reason to stop buying profitable games altogether, thank you.

So they know if they make another mistake fans will be very pissed. And NO THEY WILL NOT GO TO FIFA. PES fans stay PESfans

well apprently there is no chance of KONAMI getting more than 2 licences so what does this mean. will they have 2 of the BIG 4, or will they have none of the big 4 and just two teams like pompey and tottenham.

Also with the CL they would have loads of teams in it that arnt associated with any league Konami has which would be complicated. also teams like Boca Juniors etc. how cld u put them in the ML CL

Amateur

06-07-2008, 05:09

here is what is going to happen if Sony is behind this they will make Konami make a stand alone Champions League game and only release it on PS3, PS2 and PSP. That way they get an exclusive game and screw people over who have a XBOX 360.

You are spot-on, that's exactly what's going to happen. It is very unfortunate that profitability screws things for the fans. Every PES fan will be disappointed with the fact that Konami will have to release 2 different games; "PES" and "UEFA Champions League".

I'm not buying that "UEFA game", screw them. And by the way, what's the point of having all the European Leagues -IF- you cannot have the most important competition in Europe; The UEFA Champions League.

I think it would be a win-win for everyone involved -if- Sony and Konami reach an agreement of ONLY including the UEFA Champions League on the PES versions for PS3.

This way it would be very profitable for Sony, as well as it would please millions of PES Fans worldwide. The main issue with such an agreement would be that it isn't the best profitable-wise proposition for UEFA (from UEFA's perspective).

And yeah, such an agreement would suck for Xbox owners -but- it is better than getting ripped off by Konami-Sony-UEFA.

This could really work wonders for Konami -as- featuring the UEFA Champions League in their PES series -could- prove decisive in their competition with EA's FIFA.

And then again, a spin-off game of the "UEFA Champions League" might not turn out as profitable as they expected. Only fools buy such an excuse of a game.

That is the worst idea ever. They may please millions of PES fans but they would lose all respect from millions too, which doesn't really help you elevate a game to the next stage does it ? It isn't a "win-win" by any means, the only win it's for is Sony and PS3 fans, no one else, not even Konami as they'll be raped for not treating all the public equally by excluding the Xbox 360 and Wii console owners like myself.

If there is a stand alone UEFA CL game, will all the teams be licensed? If not, it would be soooooo crap! Imagine a CL with teams such as North London and Trad Brick??? So I guess Konami will put the CL license in PES2009 if they really grab that license.

Agreed. It makes sense.

I think that if KCET really have got the Champions League licence and they were to make a stand alone UEFA Champions League game, then my guess is that ALL of the teams in the game would be licensed.

Then PES 2009 would be left without an unlicensed Champions League. This is the scenario that makes the most sense. Anything else is absolutely ludicrous.

KCET will lose lots of money if they put the Champions League licence in PES 2009 as they will miss out on the extra sales they could achieve through a separate Champions League game.

KCET know that PES 2009 will continue to sell with or without a Champions League licence thats why they will release a separate Champions League game IF they have indeed got the licence.

Well yeah, from a certain point of view what you said seems to be the case -BUT- the thing you failed to consider was that today we can easily download a "Champions League Patch" -and- problem solved.

Maybe also download a patch for Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool -and- I have no need at all to waste my money on a "UEFA Champions League" game.

I think people who buy games such as "UEFA Champions League" are fools, what a waste of money.. buying the same game with a Different Title. A great way to waste 100 bucks in the same EXACT game.

The issue here is that Konami might actually lose millions if they release a separate Champions League game. Who will buy such a game??

Considering the amount of things that can be downloaded (or edited) today -it- would be a safer and wiser choice for Konami -to- Include the UEFA Champions League in PES09, it would probably win over some FIFA fans -and- it would certainly make a difference in their competition with EA's FIFA.

In that case, Konami can always release a separate "UEFA Champions League" game for the X360 -and- release an exclusive game for the PS3, that is including the UEFA Champions League only on PS3 versions of PES.

This way, X360 players have an option if they want -and- PS3 owners have an exclusive game. And again, this would be better for Sony, Konami and UEFA.

Because this way, they can have the extra-profit of releasing a game based on the "UEFA Champions League" -while- they would also secure better sales in the PES series for PS3.

I think this would be a win-win for everyone involved.

Fifa makes EU versions. Like we saw in UEFA 08. They tweaked the game a little bit and there you have it. FIFA fans buying it. I think many people will buy it. But sorry guy's I am not a believer of this champion league thing. If they have it they would probably put it in the game. But It really doesn't matter for me. But i think it will be nice for allot of fans. But still i don't think Konami would make a seperate game.

Remember they have allot to make up for. At least Seabass was honest. Pes2008 wasn't even out and he was complaining. So i think we are dealing with a honest man that will give us allot in pes 2009. Let's hope.

if they decide to make a separate game then it's for the money. If they need it they will get it. Maybe a way to pay for the licenses.

and i kno that if they bought it from uefa then they dont have to worry bout adidas or other things ecause the BG(uefa) will be all that matters

That's another thing in Konami's favor. If Konami includes the UEFA Champions League in PES09 -then- they would have almost all the Important Licenses; Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, etc, etc.. The ones that are usually missing in the PES series.

True, the license wont be a problem, I just think it would be a plus point. If they get the CL license, would that mean that the team in the CL can be licensed too??? i.e Manutd wont get license for FA but can it get license for CL??? Curious.

Yeah, I think so.. That is why it would be a good deal for Konami -because- it would include Licenses for all the Top Teams in Europe.

This would make FIFA's EPL License pointless -something- that can only help Konami in their competition against EA Sports.

PES 2009 Champions League Mode

Posted by Peter Willis in PES 2009 News on Wed 09 Jul 2008

I was informed last week that Konami had indeed acquired the Champions League licence, but told it may not be in PES 2009. I was then told 2 days ago that it is in fact going to feature in Pro Evo 2009… but opted not to post it as there is a NDA in place. But, you know what, I didn’t sign any NDA - Konami never tell us a thing, they apparently don’t care about 10,000 PES fans coming through our door every single day. Not one single acknowledgement came from Konami following Dan Bolas’ massive effort at putting together a letter containing the thoughts of the fans.

So screw ‘em, this post is a little bit of a two fingers up to Konami for ignoring us for the past 6 years. You may already know this if you hunt through the forums of a certain website for long enough, but…

The Champions League mode WILL be in Pro Evolution Soccer 2009. Not a seperate game.

That is all.

Having a champions league mode will significantly improve the amount of stadiums in the game, this was something severley lacking from this years title. Lets hope all of this effort is put into the gameplay as well. This is certainly a step in the right direction, even at this early stage this is a good start for the game.

if this is true, it's a big step forward for PES but im more bothered about getting the gameplay right this time, any licenses are a bonus...but after PES2008 which is below-par to standards on PS3...i hope they get it right this time

the emirates is shit just cus its big... theres no atmosphere, i felt cold the times ive been there..... there more european stadims that have a bigger presence over arsenal stdia...

i think if konami have champs league mode it would be rubbish i would love it in master league mode..... i would hate the fact you could only get the CL in tournement mode because you could go anyone you want, qualifacation would be good for CL like in real life, PES needs realisim as well as gameplay improvements.

What does this mean for Top 4 teams?. Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea licensed?

Is this whole Champions League licence thing cross platform or PS3/Xbox 360 only?

It was in PES 2008. Oh, no wait, wasn't that Benfica's ? ;)

To be honest, there's no point having both, they're almost identical, and shit.

Have you ever been to either? I've been to Old Trafford and it had nothing on Highbury and has nothing on Ashburton Grove either...anyway i'm sure both of us are biased

Emirates ? Yes. Estádio da Luz ? No.

As you said, we'll obviously be biased, but still Old Trafford pisses on the Emirates. :cool:

The only difference I can see from here is the roof, the stands look identical.
