No. Even teams like Bayern Munich or Porto, which are in the game but unlicensed, only have generic faces for all players except a few stars (e.g., Kahn had a preset despite Bayern being called "FC Bavaria" in-game). pes 6 preset face list

Though FIFA and eFootball now have 500+ fully scanned real faces, they require constant online updates and massive storage space. The beauty of the PES 6 preset face list is that it was contained entirely on a single DVD. Every face was art – hand-modeled by Konami’s artists – not a photogrammetry scan. This gave players a "caricature" realism: you could recognize Beckham from his posture, not just his tattoos.
Moreover, the mystery of discovering a preset face by scrolling through Page D of the edit mode is a feeling lost in modern, menu-driven databases.
