I read the article slightly wrong...

I read it as you get a free subscription but it is not the case sadly, but that would be a good bonus to have

Don't really see what Setanta can do for a game lol. Don't see how it can benefit the game, in sales it will of course because there will be more promotion. But in terms of the actual game what can setanta do?

They can't have more licensed teams or anything just because there now sponsored by a TV channel.

God forbid this means Craig Burley in future games.

More sales = bigger profit.

Bigger profit = better budget next time around.

Better budget = better game.

It's a long term thing

I guess so. There probably looking at the long term affects.

Will have to import the "we hate setanta" chant into the game now

well setanta get alot of prem games now so it will be good advertising when everytime there is a break on one of these a PES advert pops up. it would be good to have the option of a setanta scoreboard in a match, and a CL scoreboard, then just some random looking ones for the EPL and other non licensed leagues.
