Yeah, sounds great....!
To be honest, I agree that the 45 minutes thing would be stupid. Certainly against the computer, as at this stage I'm guessing the AI isn't good enough to be broken down no more than maybe 8 times in a game.
On the other hand.. I don't see why they shouldn't include it as an option, because it would hardly be difficult to implement. It's up to players if they'd wish to use it. I in no way care about its exclusion, but hey.. as I said, why not? In fairness, the game might also be more competitive with 2 human players. I've played people before and tried to play... realistically. I mean, I know PES5 does a pretty good job already.. but we put stats right up for defences and defensive qualities for midfielders on two teams (with starred skills etc), and tried to make everything tight. It vaguely worked, and scores were lower than usual. I can see why people would want to play 45 each way.. I mean, it's another steo towards reality in that context. But I wouldn't say it;sa grave loss.
