I wanted to sim a match on this because I was curious to see how sophisticated the AI was against each other...
You can't even select COM v COM matches on this game 🙄
I swear the day this game gets blown open by mods will be rapturous. I really like certain elements of this and dipping in and out of it from time to time gives me that exciting "new football game/new PES demo" feeling I used to get but being given settings that you're not allowed to change or looking at fake kits and playing in the Konami Stadium as gone on for far too long.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a game developer, and I'm not qualified to be dismissive of how long it should be taking to implement these changes to the game but what I do know, from history is that modders typically smash out these corrections and even assets in a few weeks or even days, for free at that.
Lord knows Konami have the talent to implement most of the things we yearn for, they just intentionally don't. The offline portion of this game is like an abandoned construction site. They started off making something of substance, installed the foundations and just dropped their tools and started painting and decorating other things instead elsewhere.
