This guide explains how classic (legend) players are named in Pro Evolution Soccer 2013, where to find lists of their real names, how to import or edit them in-game, and quick tips for restoring authentic rosters. pes 2013 classic players real names

The "Classic" teams in PES 2013—Classic Brazil, Classic Argentina, Classic Germany, etc.—were stocked with the greatest players of all time. But because Konami couldn't secure the image rights for retired legends (who are surprisingly litigious), the game presented us with doppelgängers.

Here is the translation key to the game’s most famous "impostors":

Classic Brazil (The Kings of the Fake Name) Brazil was always the most heartbreaking team to see uncorrected. The roster was a samba rhythm of misidentified brilliance. | Fake Name | Real Player | |-----------|-------------| | M

Classic Argentina (The Diego Dilemma) No Diego Maradona. That was the rule. EA had him locked down tight for years. So, PES did what PES does best: they created a player who looked suspiciously like him but went by a different name.

Classic Netherlands (The Dutch Masters)

Classic Germany (The Wall)

The Dutch team in PES 2013 is arguably the most stacked, featuring the 1970s and 1980s legends.

  • Name in Game: D. Hoom
  • Name in Game: F. Rijkaart
  • Name in Game: R. Gullit
  • Before diving into the list, it is important to understand why this happens. Konami, the developer of PES, has always struggled to compete with EA Sports’ FIFA for official licenses. While PES 2013 secured licenses for the UEFA Champions League, several national teams (like England and Spain), and a handful of leagues (Ligue 1 and Eredivisie), the "Classic" players are a legal minefield.

    These retired footballers own their image rights individually. Instead of paying royalties to hundreds of former stars, Konami includes them under generic pseudonyms. This means that PES 2013 classic players real names are not displayed on screen – you have to manually identify them via stats, appearance, and nationality.
