that is where I think we see things differently. I understand what you are saying and I understand that is the way things "are" with Konami and the inner workings of the game. I am just of the opinion that Konami should facilitate this far better as this costs time for patchmakers and users alike. Konami must be very much aware of patches and the way they work. This constant fiddling around & waiting is just starting to grate while they downgrade the quality of the game for offliners each and every time (well most of the time) a patch comes out.
So yes, I understand that there are things we as users "should" do when playing PES. But no, i don't think the onus is on the users to provide a good experience.
