We see great work with kits by Konami last years, but what about faces and stadiums? We need stadium creator and ability of importing faces (even scan faces) in consoles...
Stadium creator now seems as an exotic mirage. I believe some people were changed in PES team after Pes 13 and along with that, all of the fun stuff that came with it was lost. Pes 14 was a new thing, missing tons of features, Pes 15 was a new thing, reworked, we start all over, new attitude and so on. And at the moment, I think that there is a huge gap and it even doesnt seem that all these games were released by the same company, at least as far as editing/importing/presentation stuff is concerned. There might be some kind of guess that lack of these features is due to the fact that you couldnt import any pictures and stuff for the next gen. Face scans, stadium creator - its all connected with importing. Maybe stadium creator a bit less, but still... Anyways, I dont think its entirely the case, I think its more of the changes in PES team. I wouldnt be surprised if they even forgot these kind of features and had/have no plans in bringing them back. Lack of consistency and chaos in developing PES was theyr achilles heel. So its very good sign that they finally are moving into right direction, developing the game further more on the same good elements, rather then demolishing it all again and starting all over. In this way, there are more and more chances they will invest more time and details in stuff like editing modes/master league. But at the moment, it is how it is. Lots of potential, but things still move very slowly and kind of conservative. They should know better than anyone else that licensing isint so important. Why not make 10-12 fake leagues with lower divisions instead of 3? Why not invest in stadium creator or make default stadiums instead of trying to buy license for few authentic ones? I saw they mentioned new stadiums in PES 16 and there was a photo with three new stadiums. I hope its not the full list. Adam Bhatti wasnt very talkative about it either, he said yeah, we will have new stadiums, but yeah, you will know more about everything later on. I would rather have 20 fake stadium pack than 3-4 licensed ones that are locked to one team.
