He's right, they definitely copied several aspects of PES to make the gameplay more organic and fun, but as a gaming fan it's hard to be too upset about it. Coming out and crying about it now just makes Konami look bad. Give EA credit for spending their money wisely, locking up those league licenses every year and putting themselves in position to overtake what was essentially a better game for years. You can't really put a patent on gameplay I guess, and there are no ethics in business. The last couple of versions of PES I played were pretty crappy, and they can't blame EA for that.
