![]() Having chosen to mould itself around jogo bonito – football's nickname popularised by the legendary Pelé – for the past few years, PES 2019 finds the franchise at a curious stage, seemingly trying to infuse a sense of realism into its penchant for style. Of course, over the long run, it's the action on the pitch that matters more. Konami will hope that the additions can bring in football fans from beyond the big European countries looking to play with their local teams. The addition of several new leagues is beneficial to every game mode: it increases the player roster available in Master League, the manager mode, and m圜lub, the PES version of FIFA's Ultimate Team (colloquially known as FUT for short), while boosting the club choices for Become A Legend, the player career mode, and all casual kick-off modes be it offline or online. Of course, enterprising players can always "fix" matters by making use of the game's convenient import function, what with PES' dedicated and always-helpful community having already released unofficial kits and name changes. Germany's Bundesliga continues to be missing though France's Ligue 1 is fully licensed. The Serie A Italian League is better off as always, with all 20 clubs except Juventus available in PES 2019. Thanks to that, there are seven new licensed leagues in PES 2019 from Belgium, Russia, Scotland, and Turkey, among others.Īt the same time, the biggest leagues remain nearly devoid of licenses, except for Arsenal and Liverpool in the Premier League English League, and Barcelona in La Liga the Spanish League. ![]() And in its hour of need, PES 2019 – the latest iteration now out on PC, PS4 and Xbox One previous-gen consoles PS3 and Xbox 360 have been left behind for the first time in over a decade – doubled down on the charm offensive of lesser-known leagues. The UEFA licenses were one of the few things Konami's PES could boast of in a gaming market that places a high value on playing with official kits in official stadiums under official branding. Naturally, its big-moneyed rival EA Sports took advantage of the opportunity, adding the Champions League to its crown of jewels in the upcoming FIFA 19, out later in September. Back in April, its football sim Pro Evolution Soccer was dealt another blow, after Konami opted not to renew its deal with UEFA, a partnership that had been around since 2008. ![]() Konami's focus on mobile gaming, in addition to its other interests such as pachinko machines and casinos in Japan, seems to have hurt the console ambitions of every franchise it owns in recent years. ![]()
