I don't know, but maybe PES is doing well based on sales internationally? Given the company's issues, perhaps they don't need a large market share to be successful. Though, I can't imagine licensing leagues is cheap.

Perhaps LIVE needs to focus on the international game and leagues more to help with sales. Though, on social media today every Tom, Dick, & Harry had their ideas that would make Live defeat 2K...if only EA would listen to them! I'll try to stay away from doing the same.

EA knows what to do and I think they have a good plan for Live...they just need more time to implement it all. Though, who knows if they will get the time. It sure doesn't seem like the basketball community at-large has the desire to support them in the process. 2K has a pretty good head start, namely due to self-inflicted EA wounds.
