Konami has extended the number of officially licensed National and club teams.
In addition to all the gameplay and graphical enhancements coming in PES 2008, Konami has announced that the latest game in the chart-topping franchise will feature more licensed teams than ever before.
Brazil, Portugal, Greece, Scotland and Ireland are amongst the new licensed National teams and will be joined by a host of licensed Club teams including Newcastle and Tottenham.
Other Club teams new to PES this year are RSC Anderlecht, HJK Helsinki, IFK Goteborg, Panathinaicos, Spartak Moscow, Fenerbache, NK Dinamo Zagreb and FC Basel.
All the additional licensed teams mean PES 2008 will feature more than 3000 licensed players, realistically replicated within the game.
PES 2008 is scheduled for release for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PSP, PC and Nintendo DS in October. An all-new version of PES for the Wii is also in development for release in 2008.

Heh, given that the previous two titles featured licenses for Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd, I as a Liverpool fan thought it would be my lucky year this season. Never mind - still looking forward to comparing it with this year's FIFA title :-).

It wont make everyone happy, but it's still a great step in the right direction.

still want more prem teams
I'm guessing these teams are in addition to the official ones from pes 6 since the game has more than 3000 licensed players - and that means four official premiership teams in total - man poo, arsenal, newcastle and spurs - hopefully more will be on the way
