What is the PES 2010 Database?
Unlike modern live-service titles that update weekly, the PES 2010 Database represents a frozen snapshot of the 2009-2010 football season. It is the complete collection of every team, player, attribute, and statistical value found within the game.
The database is famous for its "weight" and "momentum" physics, but the statistics are what bring that physics to life. The PES 2010 Database consists of over 4,000 players spanning 200+ licensed and unlicensed teams, including the UEFA Champions League (exclusive to PES at the time), the English Premier League (fictional names), La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, and Eredivisie.

A major aspect of the PES 2010 database was the licensing restrictions. The default database shipped with fake names for several major teams, which community "Option Files" were required to fix:
- Premier League: Only Manchester United and Liverpool were fully licensed. Arsenal, Chelsea, and others had fake names (e.g., "North London" for Arsenal).
- Bundesliga: The German league was almost entirely unlicensed, leading to extensive community database overhauls to add the German league fully into the game.
