PES 2018 only has a few official licenses, as well as permission to use some real players, as well as their skills, thanks to other rights and legal issues.
If you do not want to install a patch, or simply do not have this option because you are playing on Xbox One, you can find in this guide a list with the real names of the teams that are present in PES 2018. In addition, we also have a guide where you will go find out who are the best players in PES 2018, that is, a Top 5 of the best goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards.
If you are not playing on Xbox One and want PES 2018 to show the real names of the teams, we have a video that teaches you how to edit PES 2018 clubs.
Finally, if you can’t decide between FIFA 18 or PES 2018, you can read our review of PES 2018, which will help you make that decision.
