What makes people leave great commentary, great music, all player names, most licenses, pretty graphics, leages etc. Two explanations. One you can say, bah they must all be crazy "sad little people" that are not in touch with the real world. Or two, there is actually something to the game that superseeds great commentary, great music, all player names, most licenses, pretty graphics, leages and they are willing to put up with everything it lacks because of everything it gives.
One of life's rules is that people do what works. If you talk to a lot of PES players, you would find they are rational people. So the first explanation goes out the window. So next you say, hmm there must be something that actually satisfies them beyond pretty graphics, real player names and stuff like that. Mind you, most PES players were exclusively FIFA players before. So they know what they are forfeiting in a game. But if you ask most of them, it is a small price to pay for the awesome gameplay it delievers.
