Just an idea about the sponsors in the ML

[Jasperinho]

Yesterday I had a bit of a brain spin while I was "enjoying" the infamous traffic jams in the Netherlands..

Konami has introduced sponsors this year in the Master League. These sponsors invest money in your club/team, which allows you to pay salaries of players and staff and to hire new players..

The downside is that these sponsors are currently fictive companies.

Wouldn't it be great to have the following added (perhaps in PES 2011):

• Real companies that invest money in your club, such as AIG, Opel, etc.
• New kit manufacturers, e.g. Nike or Adidas
• Optional: Rich millionaires from Russia or the Middle East

Having items one and two from the list above, could result in the following new experiences in the Master League:

• You could get an offer from a new main sponsor, which will replace the one that is currently on your shirt. E.g.: Ajax has Aegon as their sponsor, but if you would accept a high offer from AIG and AIG would become the new main sponsor, their logo would appear on your kit, instead of Aegon's. Obviously, you would have to have the option to scale the logo or even chose the colour of the logo so that it matches the kit of the team that you play with
• If your team is currently playing with one kit manufacturer, but you get a high offer from another manufacturer, you would have the choice to chose for the new sponsor which would mean that you would have to change your kit to follow one of the templates of your new manufacturer. E.g.: Ajax plays with Adidas at the moment. If Nike would make an offer to become your new kit sponsor, you would have to chose at the start of the season which kit template you'd like to use for your home and away shirt, scale the main sponsor logo (if needed) and play your new season in your newly designed kit for the Master League

As said, these were just thoughts that I had, which I did want to share with you.

I guess that there's also an opportunity for Konami to get more sponsors into their game and generate more revenue. These sponsors would obviously also appear around the field on the ad boards. I think that this would add a very interactive editing component to the Master League experience..

nice idea man but i think it would all come down to licensing. it could be a really nice touch to the future of master leagues

It is down to licensing, it would cost big bucks to get the likes of nike,adidas and so on.

Great idea thou

I've said before that, including a selection of sponsor logos to place on your shirts would be great. If they can't afford to include real company logos, then create plausible ones. However, they seem to have quite a few on ad boards, so we could have those on our shirts.
