1. How long have you been playing PES?
Since WE9.
2. What are the aspects that you like most about PES?
The focus on realism, the challenge of creation to beat teams.
3. What are the aspects that you don’t like about PES?
The fact that the above took a big hit in '08 and hasn't recovered. The AI has consistent problems, and the game's more advanced modes have fallen far behind those of other sports franchises, particularly in terms of depth, thereby diminishing replay value.

Some of this will be redundant, due to previous posters (with whom I am generally in agreement), but here are several posts I've made in the past (mostly regarding ML) that I'm still behind.
"More leagues and more divisions in every league, even if the teams at the bottom are made up. I want to work up from D4. From there, promotion and relegation in the Leagues you're NOT playing in ML. Reggina and Torino pinned to the bottom of Serie A for 10 seasons while you're playing La Liga and watching teams go up and down every year is irritating.
Youth/Reserve team w/ optionally playable matches - Virtually every pro club has at least one, and since part of the fun of ML for most people is developing players, this would add a great element of realism when trying to sort out and grow your kids or players who are returning from injury or are on bad form. It would take some thought, but it's perfectly doable. Total squad limits would have to be tweaked, like, your first team 32 would include 11 starters + X subs + X reserves, as is the case now, but a separate reserve squad of X amount players, another 32 or even unlimited if funds and maybe popularity allow, would be available for you to stock, with its own conditions for calling a player up to the first team.
Intra-ML training. I want to train without leaving the current ML, and I want my players to have their developed stats, not defaults.
More injuries. Injuries are a LOT more common in real life, and encountering a few more would be nice, though it would require care not to go overboard.
Cup matches shouldn't all reward such insignificant stat growth. A player playing in the CL final receives roughly a third of the growth he gains by playing the team in 20th in a league match.
Cup competitions integrated into ML. Konami, you bought the CL license, why force us into a separate mode to play it? Balancing league and European matches is an important part of the experience."
" "Hidden" players separate from "Classic" players. Generally, I'd rather not have Classics in my MLs, but I certainly want all the unlockable currently active players who happen to not be on a licensed team in the game." Would also make finding players much easier.
"I want to arrange players in the wall and adjust its angle, not just add/subtract players. I'm sick of my 6'5"-6'7" players always being stuck on the end of the wall that is completely out of the way of the free kick's potential flight paths."
I also want said tall players to make more attempts to head the ball when attacking, instead of trying pointless overheads, even when they have great jump/header stats.
"I remember back in WE9, you could find out EVERYTHING about the match. How your players moved in attack, how goals and attempts were built, how you passed throughout, et cetera. Whatever happened to that stuff?"

Not in Team C section because you cant use them in Master League. Why dont Konami just let us use Teams we create in Team C section in the master league.
Seriously, this would be great. I mean, they're there explicitly for the creation of custom teams, so why aren't they available in ML? At least give us the option to make them "ML-enabled" when we create one.

Bring back the option to change socks/shorts/shirts on the game option screen.
Another great point. Play WE United vs Newcastle or Udinese, and the CPU invariably sticks both teams with almost the same kit."

A camera view farther then wide would be sweet.
Full pitch would be great, as would dynamic camera switching."
The AI also needs to fatigue the same as your players, and needs to rotate more realistically.
The implementation of the offside rule is problematic, and the backpass rule seems to be nonextant.
All in all, I don't see an FM-style ML being a major issue, as much of it could be made optional. I know at least EA's NHL games allow you to play leagues with the micromanagement only being a concern if you set the league up to actually feature those aspects. Personally, if I am managing and developing a team, I want as much control and depth as possible.
Thanks for the opportunity to share with you, Konami!

also offers from different sponsors would be good as well.
