In short you can take already existing leagues, teams and players on PES 2017 and edit them to reflect the missing licenses. Savvy PES fans will of course point to the fact that custom leagues, kits and players could be created on previous versions of PES but it is now easier to do so. The Premier League is the biggest omission, and this can be solved in very little time.

Secondly, with the emergence of data edit on PS4 you can completely counteract the lack of a particular license in no time at all.ĭue to this, and as eluded to the introduction, edit mode has been created on the PS4 to counteract Konami not having certain licenses.

Gameplay should always supersede artificial components such as kits, team badges and the team name.

However, there are two main reasons why licenses aren’t that important: Konami and EA will always try to get as many licenses as they can but it can be argued they are irrelevant, especially in recent times because licenses can attract non loyal fans of the product to buy the game.

Teams such as Juventus, Bayern Munich, Man Utd and Real Madrid are all missing and will therefore need to be created using downloaded kits. Other PES 2017 teams such as Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, France and Germany are all licensed and therefore will have the official badge, kits and team names. Unfortunately there are some glaring omissions from this year’s edition of PES. Konami have announced official partnerships with Barcelona, Dortmund and Liverpool, therefore we can look forward to these three teams being displayed in all their beauty.
