Now I know I’ve been a PES faithful all my life. I also know that I’ve praised the E3 code. It’s great being a fan of a product (and a team), but over the course of a long failing period (and losing streak), it starts to challenge even the most passionate of supporters to stand by their beloved squad.

I have logged about 16 hours or so of game-time in the PES2014 leaked demo. I want to share my experiences and thoughts so far. I hated this demo for about 4 hrs..thats right I was getting frustrated. I lost or tied all my matches during this time scoring only on a few occasions and having more possession than my opponent also only on a few occasions. However...

It’s Anfield in November. You’re coaching Liverpool, and you’re currently in seventh place. Gerrard, Coutinho, Suarez, and Sturridge have proven to be a formidable combination at home, yet have struggled on the road. The good news, though, is that you’re coming off back-to-back wins, and team morale is high. You also have a fantastic home crowd where the Anfield faithful have lifted your squad game-in and game-out...

So -- you can imagine my shock when I came to find that Fox had lost the E.P.L. license completely.

The date was June 13th, 2013. It was a smolderingly hot day in Los Angeles, California. I looked at my watch, 7:00 pm. I was walking back to the metro station in a complete daze, trying not to get lost in the downtown sector of the city. I had just played PES 2014 for 9 hours straight, and I was in a state of euphoria. I remember someone in the Konami booth earlier in the day turning to me and saying "Dude, you should probably get something to eat or drink...

Why are we here? Like a spurned lover, we keep finding ourselves running back to PES, hoping for them to change, to bring back the magic that once made our relationship so special. And time and time again, PES has let us down. Turned us away. Ignored our pleas. Yet we’re still here. We still love PES. Deep down, PES loves us too. It’s trying to change. It’s trying to be the game it once was, the game that we fell in love with.

Growing up in the United States, my coaching at the youth level was horrendous. "Hey your the fastest kid in the squad so your playing striker," coaches would tell me--even though I had the worst shot. Meanwhile, a buddy of mine who was tall and stocky always played center-back, yet he was the most technically gifted player I've ever known.
