It has always had the issue of not having licensing.<br /> However, PES 2016 is the official video game of the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Super Cup and also comes with a completely overhauled Master League and dynamic weather effects.<br /> And Konami say they are now ready to renew the battle for the footballing video game top spot and hope to win it back through having the better presentation and visuals.<br /> “We’re definitely catching up with FIFA,” product manager Adam Bhatti told <a href="http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/konami-convinced-pes-can-catch-up-with-fifa/0156006" target="_blank">MCV</a>.<br /> “And we have to be respectful about that. We have to keep closing that gap.
