So, you can only imagine how fans reacted when it was revealed earlier this year that Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 would be losing their biggest partnership to date - the UEFA. When it comes to licenses, it’s no secret that Konami has struggled for years to gain the exclusive rights to a number of teams and leagues against their behemoth competitor, FIFA.

Which Official Teams and Leagues Are Missing From PES 2019 Database? So if you’re still looking for favorite teams, but can’t manage to find them among the list of fake names, we have you covered in our Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 licensing guide below. Especially, when it will take players upwards of 40+ hours to manually edit and change all of the teams, leagues, kits, and stadiums within the PES 2019 database. While it’s understandable that some players may take to creating their very own teams and kits, it is definitely no easy feat. Thankfully though, in an attempt to help combat their licensing woes, Konami has created a complete customization system that allows players to not only create and edit teams, but to also alter kits, logos, and even stadiums. While licensing has never really been an issue for many dedicated PES players, there is no denying that these fake team names are definitely a deterrent for many players as it ruins the overall atmosphere of the game. Licensing has always been one of Pro Evolution Soccer’s biggest downfalls, with team names such Man Red or London FC filling in Manchester United and Chelsea, it’s no wonder that so many players are still yet to make that switch from FIFA.
