Why is it that developers can't comprehend that a gamer needs to know a ping time of a game before playing?

I recently bought PES4 and I thought it would be a dream online and it is, one in ten times when I get a decent lag free game. You see I live in Australia and not too many people own the game here. This means that most live games I enter into are against players in europe. I either stick with it and lose by a massive amount (challenger seems to get all the lag) or I have to quit the game right away. It totally spoils PES4 online for me.

Would it have been so hard for Konami to include a top spin style ping indicator? It really seems that developers are quite braindead at times.

It's a simple answer but get some locals on your friends list. I've played some great lag free games with other Australians. It's unfortunate the way online has been set up but if you've got some locals on your friends list there shouldn't be any issues.

Most of the people on my list are locals. But only a few have the game.

I should not have to go looking on the net for australians to add, I should be able to use the opti match. It's simply poor design and a total lack of thought on Konami's part.

On the german Konami website they announced an update to improve Live performance. So there´s still hope.
