PES is killing my soul

I've been a long time PES lover, playing since International Superstar Soccer, and have been a staunch supporter, but I'm about to lose it.

I'm a Master League junkie, and since PES2010 I've been really into the Master League Online and it's pretty much the only thing I play.

I can't take the disconnects any more. It wouldn't be so bad, but *I* get penalized for it. Sometimes the other player wins and I lose.

Sorry, but I don't have this kind of problem in any other online game I play. It's shocking frankly. I don't know if it's cheating on the other end but it happens so frequently that the net code and the logic used to determine who disconnected is frankly, crap.

Again, I have no problems with other games, and get <100ms ping typically when I game online and my connection has 20MBps down and 2MBps up, which should be more than enough.

I'm losing my patience with you Konami. Where is Seabass? Is the online component going to be addressed in 2013? I'm so sad right now.

If you can't fix it, can you just release WE6 on the PS Store? Just give us 16:9 widescreen dispaly, update the rosters and include online play and I will hand over my $60.

I completely understand you.

In Starcraft 2, when one of the player loses their connection, the game pauses and allows the other guy to reconnect within 60 seconds. This should be in PES the case too.

I can't believe this. I was JUST playing a Master League Online Tournament. It started at 1:50pm. Shockingly, I made it into the finals!!! This was about 10 minutes ago at 3:15pm. I'm actually leading 2-0 with 20 minutes to go and then I get the message CONNECTION TO SERVER LOST and I'm booted to the main menu.

I don't know if the other guy quit or what but it doesn't matter. This is one of the WORST online experiences I have ever had in a game. Consistently it does this.

I'm sorry, but this is making me reconsider ever buying another PES. I've stuck with you guys for so long since you failed so utterly with your first attempt at a next-gen game, but I may have had it.

Absolute fucking disgrace.

I think you should recheck your connection. Actually, the PES 2012 quit punishing technic is almost good. If the quit is from your side, you are punished with fatigue and 1 game reduced in the contract of all players, also on the bench. In addition, you get 0 money, not like losing.
Too much? You judge. If the other player quit you get no contract reduce, no fatigue to all players and 2.5m winning prize. I think that is very fair.

The only problem is of course cheaters. I played against some players that I scored a goal or two, immediatly communication lost, and the game is DELETED. Like no side quit the game, it was just abandoned. No fatigue, no contract reduce but also no money. I think those are cheaters, but it happened to me like 4-5 times so I'm ok with it.
