F2P helps the mobile version and MyClub make them money so I don't have to pay $70 for modes I'm not interested in and I only pay for master league at a reasonable price... let's do this. I don't find f2p inherently bad as what most people think of is crappy mobile games. Fortnite, Apex Legends, Rocket League, tons of MMOs all are f2p and are good games. It really comes down to how much gets locked behind a paywall.

Some of what still needs to been known
- will ML available at launch if not how soon after.
- Is ML a one time DLC and then we just pay for updated kits/rosters every year?
- What, if anything in ML will behind a paywall.
- OF will they be the same, more robust or is this going to stripped back to force user to pay for 3rd kits, leagues etc. via mtx.

The roadmap was just about cross play basically. Which I don't really care about.

So I'm guessing the early autumn is technically the demo period/official release. Since it seems pretty bare bones. This also marks the last time we'll get a "demo" since yearly releases are no more. Also early autumn does that mean the actual fall equinox around Sept. 20/21 or is that code for early September.

Konami thought killing off the PES name and announcing the game was free would get people excited without much context outside of vague statements and a roadmap, yeah no that's a recipe for disaster. Whoever signed off on yesterday's announcement clearly doesn't know what they are doing.

I'll give the game a shot since it's free as I'd rather not play that other game.

Well that was more than I intended to write lol.

My thoughts exactly!

After 2 years and sprinkles here & there about things like “moving to the unreal engine”, “new partner clubs”, and the like you roll decide to roll out THAT POS trailer?

This is what we were sold on for graphics



And this is what we got




Why would you even show the game like that? Like, who OK’d that trailer and those gameplay clips? They could have used a suped-up modded PC version if they’re not ready yet which everything about this trailer screams “it’s not ready yet”. They don’t even have names for some of their modes and it’s basically going to be a demo at release. Konami have always sucked at PR and relied on Adam’s Twitter following to clean up messes but man that’s just unfair to him. Just a clusterfck of a release that just so happens to coincide with EA opening up the floodgates for info on ‘22.

All that being said, it’s F2P with ala carte mode offerings so I don’t understand how anyone could be against that. If EA did that and folks had to only pay ~$30 for a game with no FUT people would be extremely happy. Anyway, it’s definitely going to be worth checking out and hopefully they release tidbits of info from here until late August.

I wish I knew those guys although Pique wouldn’t be too happy with my jab [emoji23]
