After all, EA Sports used to make dedicated Champions League games before Konami started featuring the tournament in PES, so a reunion only seemed natural. At the time it wasn't 100 percent certain that the European football governing body would be working with EA Sports, but it seemed a safe bet. This past April, UEFA revealed that after a "fruitful" 10-year partnership with Konami, the two were parting ways. With the launch of FIFA 19 on September 28th, the Champions League will have a new home. But thing will be changing soon, and Pro Evolution Soccer is going to suffer as a result. You need that UCL orchestral theme song and the original trophy to make the competition feel real. Since 2008, FIFA players have had to make do with a generic version that EA Sports created, which simply wasn't good enough. A big reason I always kept coming back to PES (aside from its more realistic gameplay) was the fact it had licensing rights for the UEFA Champions League (UCL), Europe's most prestigious club tournament. Two years ago, I even wrote that Konami's title was actually better than EA Sports',much to the the disbelief of many of my football friends. But, I always gave Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) a chance. I have a mild obsession with FIFA video games, largely because I like playing with official teams and players rather than fictional ones.
