They added some more details on the edit mode at Konami's website:

https://www.konami.com/wepes/2017/eu/en/game_mode/#_tgt-uniform-edit

Edit Data Sharing Available for PS4
Share your create teams and players with other only through easy transfer via USB
Data sharing is multiregional, allowing European users to share with fans from US or Asia

Edit improvements

Batch Import *Exclusive to PlayStation®4 system

Import all your edited kits and player data as a batch on your USB. Select your team and apply the data you choose.

Hmm, this doesn't sound exactly like what option files used to be. If we have to go to each team, and assign each kit (home/away/keeper) and logo one by one, that doesn't sound much different than last year. I barely made it through the Premier League by itself before I lost patience with it. And now with La Liga teams needing logos and kits added, I can't imagine many going through that entire process.

When your company is on the brink financially, its probably not a good idea to shell out money on a huge license like Barcelona/Camp Nou. I mean good for them for one upping EA, but I just don't see how this helps them.

I don't think it will as tedious as last year's. Seems like you can import the data in a batch instead of going in team by team and assigning each kit.

True, but FIFA already absolutely dominates the market. It's rational for them to try and eat into that market share, and the decision they've apparently made is to essentially turn PES into FC Barcelona 2017 and use that huge brand to sell the game.

As an absolutely HUGE Barca fan it was pretty impossible for me not to orgasm 15+ times

Still, this really sucks cause I'm a Fifa first kind of player. But this basically does guarantee my purchase of Pes this year

[HenryClay1844]

I am disgusted with this! Can't stand exclusive licensing I will not be supporting PES this year. EA deserve this though that they originated this garbage. They took the J league and Juve from Konami this year, this is Konami's response. This is very bleak for football games, it's past time for fans to speak out against this.

hopefully player names will be added when importing teams. The one thing I hated was trying to rename everyone on each team. That was a serious pain.

Is there a list of teams in PES 17?

Barca will still be in FIFA and the will still have proper names, kits, likeness....

To me it wont matter than stadium isn't in, you can rename another stadium for season modes, I'd rather have all the top stadiums in but leagues, official players and kits mean most to me.

I'll have to wait and see how PES expend importing and editing before I decide if I buy, also a proper career manager mode with actual leagues would be nice.

Looks like EA gets my money again.

See, that's the thing. How much of the actual stadium do you see in-game anyway? 99% of the time you're focused on the pitch, as long as the team is there it won't matter if they got the seating assignments and bathroom stalls correct.

These types of exclusive agreements probably benefit gaming companies more from a PR/promotional point-of-view than from a consumer point-of-view. It's not all about locking EA out of content (although I'm sure that's part of it), it's about aligning yourself with one of the world's biggest sports brands, PES demo kiosks in the Camp Nou, and everything else that goes along with it.

I think it's a big selling point to be honest from this standpoint:

Not having Barcelona licensed and official (team & player names) would be a killer blow.


I don't know enough about exclusive partnerships and their limitations to just outright say they're horrible.

Also,

Pretty cool how they recreated several of Barca's famous goals from the last 2 years. They nailed em.

I know that was pretty cool, here is a comparison video.

Interesting. If you can add league patches, it's possible that PES user creations will be more authentic than the officially licensed FIFA kits (since EA won't allow "SkyBet" in the game for whatever reason).

yeah it will be by the looks of it.. like it use to be in the old PES days

So many people overshadowing this whole thread, talking about Exclusive Team crap.

Why don't we talk about how great this game looks and moves, even in that comparison too real life video on page 4 looks amazing.
