Konami - Why no formal exaplanation?

[Achillies]

I don't want to just be another whinger about the online connection issues, but wouldn't everyone have a much better appreciation for Konami if they actually attempted to give us a more specific explanation for the issues they are clearly having?

The constant maintenence messages that are being flagged as you log on are more of an insult now to the huge fan base who have just spent £30 (or there abouts!) on their new title, as there is no truth to the timelines given, or any detail on the issues.

If anyone gets anything official from Konami post it here as I'd love to know what they have to say - after all we've all paid good money into their coffers in the last week.

I'd rather they had a pop at fixing it than explained why it was broken .

I'm sure their communications manager won't be trying to fix the problem, so why can't he/she explain what the problems are thus reinforcing our faith in their abilities to manage the situation?

I guess the real answer is, that whilst I'm flabbergasted by the problems, and the lack of ethical practise by Konami toward their consumers, I'll still buy the game (& future releases). Therefore, I'm just allowing them to offer a poor service for which they don't suffer - because they still make their money - we'd have to stop buying the game before they would take much notice, and that's just not going to happen.

so i take it its still not working for you then? cos mine is now connecting quickly, letting in to lobbys and match rooms quickly and letting me play 4 player lagless games which dont disconnect anymore!!! YAY!!! and this wasnt a one off for me, i was playing yesterday night at about 1am then this morning at 9:30am, both times were absolutely flawless.

Damn it - comes back on line when I'm back at work (was still a problem at lunch tho). Typical!!! It's good to hear it's back online though, I'll have to spend the rest of my "working" day planning my tactics for tonights games (hehe).

Still having problems, despite people saying they can now play online okay. Basically, I connect to a server, go to play a game, and then can't connect to the other person.

Also, noticed there is still a message saying that "due to volume of people logging on blah, blah, blah" - when are Konami going to get this sorted!!???

As an older gamer i've been playing since the ISS days and enjoyed the changes in the game over the years with both PES and the WE series.
I went online for the first time last year (pes5) and was looking forward to getting online with PES6 since it was flawed with lag and a poor interface in PES5. Online was'ent TOO BAD the day after the release, but now its got worse and its driving me nuts, Its so slow between pages and the lags getting worse all the time taking the fun out of the onine expierence for me and i feel that Konami have really taken a half arsed approach to this aspect of the game and its not the only thing as i think that various important editing points are missing, eg, editing commentry names, 6*, german teams, ect.. I've played quite a few PS2 games online with no problems, its a shame i can't play my favorite game, I feel like backing up my game and selling the original on ebay and going back to playing my master league which is another thing which has been badly neglected and has been in need of an massive update in recent versions. Why does Konami have to show such complacency to a game that has such a cult and loyal following.
I'm not complaining about the gameplay itself as its the best footie you will play but why have the other aspects been ignored when they should compliment the excellent gameplay and i feel people are ignoring this point out of loyalty to the brand.
Anyway its a shame Konami have to shoot themselves in the foot like this and all i can hope for is a massive overhaul of the master league, online, interface and other aspects of the game when the next gen PES is released, thanks for yout patience.
