The Master League Experiences Thread

[MENTION=228218]Silver Surfer[/MENTION] Nicely done mate, I wouldn't gather such squad but nevertheless it looks good. Congratz on your UEL trophy, and good luck for the big league.

Also, don't you dare to sell Mastour, he's just amazing. Doesn't take much time to get world class either.

I would have tried to squeeze a bit more for Lewandowski, but that's a nice sum for an aging forward.

I might update my own ML in the next few days, I haven't really played PES in the last month but there have been a few games already worth writing about.

Cheers mate, looking forward to see how your game is progressing.
I wouldn't dare sell Mastour, even playing him as a sub before I loaned him out I could see how much potential he had. I'm hoping he comes back from his loan spell at the end of the season with an improved OR, then he can have his brake through season next year hopefully.
Same with Zivkovic, he's on a half season loan and developed from 79 OR to 84 OR just before he went on loan! +5 is the biggest jump in OR I've seen so far from one development stage...if I didn't have Benzema he would be starting up top for sure.

You have Zivkovic at 84OR in your first season?? He's only at 84 for me and I'm in my 6th, but then I signed him after a few seasons.

Mastour is at 83OR for me at the moment.

Half way through my 2nd season Ali, but I played Zivkovic almost every game until I bought Benzema. Plus when I got Zivkovic's development cut scene he scored a hattrick, got an assist and a man of the match rating of 8.5.! I now believe that the better the developing players play in the following game(s) the more there OR improves. To back this up I recently had Talisca development cut scene, game was against Real Madrid away, he scored a goal but the match finished 1-1, he got a 7.5 rating and he only went up +2 OR from 81 to 83



Just in case you were sceptical...

Following an impressive start for FC Porto where three of the hardest matches were surpassed easily (2-1 vs Vitória SC, 2-0 vs Benfica, 0-3 vs Sporting), UCL draw decided the team had to face FC Copenhagen, Lazio and Valencia to get through to the Knockout Stage.

First game was against Lazio at Stadio Olimpico, way easier than expected. End result was 1-2, 3 goals from Porto. Then it was the time of Valencia, a real challenge this time. No team was able to overcome the talent of the other, and the match ended 1-1. To finish the first round Copenhagen, Porto's kriptonite, was difficultly sent home in a 3-1 win.

Taça de Portugal first game was againt Boavista, oddly enough it went to penalties, where the FC Porto experience revealed itself as a key factor to score a win.

After a couple more wins for the League, highlights given to a 4 nil win against Paços, the first quarter of the season arrived in the form of Estoril. 4-1 win at home, and this is the table so far:
Minandinho is my best scorer with 5 goals, Ángel, Mastour and Postiga my best passers with 2 assists each. If you ask me these numbers are worringly low, not sure what's happening.


This is how UCL Group Stage looks halfway through:
Brandt is my best scorer with 2 efforts, and Minandinho gathered 2 assists already.



Almost at the same time two youths showed a glimpse of what's to come: Maicon and Gerrard. Unfortunately for them they would face some tough competition, and managing to flourish seemed like a task only for the best.


Four games later the results came, and they matched the expectations:


Both had the same opportunities, but the first team experience of Maicon proved essential to grab the spotlight.

So far, this is the report on the squad:

- Cillessen is the best
- Postiga is in a wonderful form, Pelle is struggling to get minutes
- Hulk is a beast, better, faster and more powerful than Marcos Lopes, but fails to hold for the entire 90 minutes
- Lavezzi was a failed signing
- Tiago needs time to improve, right now he's not quite enough for the spot. Probably I'll have to buy a CMF
- Cillessen is the best
- Helton is not good enough, but Neuer does not fuckin retires...
- Goretzka is the new 2.3 Ecoboost, doesn't make lot of fuss, but ain't it something special... holds the team up front
- Neves, Goretzka and Fischer are 90% of the team
- Rafa Márquez is coping well with the first team position
- Terry is... a mistery. Yet. Same for Miranda, although the last one is showing more attacking capabilities (my kind of CB)
- Cillessen is the best
- Cillessen is the best

- Cillessen is the best

Next episode: Who knows?

I'm playing with Bournemouth, still in the first season. I started right in the superstar level, seeking a more satisfying experience from the start. I managed to put together a competitive team using only the free agents, and that "Lincoln", a second striker 17, with level 73, which was created in BAL and used by only 10 games. I beat QPR in the second round of the FA Cup and now I will play against Everton.

That's my team so far: (Of these, only J. Koch has evolved. He was 72 or 73, and is now 80.).



Here is the classification of the Championship so far.



And a memorable match, showing that ball possession doesnt mean anything.

[MENTION=215711]rebelinho[/MENTION]. Nice one, you've got some good early season form going in the League and in Europe. Glad to see your regens progressing well for you, I've got Maicon myself, expecting big things from him as my future RB. Goretzka is also doing well for me, understated CM role and breaks down a lot of opposition attacks with is ball winning abilities, he's already up to 84 OR just at the end of my 2nd season.

[MENTION=228470]L. Ambrosio[/MENTION]. Looks like you're doing very well, especially at superstar level! On for promotion in your 1st season - Keep it up! Ricardinho is a great LB isn't he, i've owned him myself in a previous ML. I would look at strengthening your midfield in the summer transfer window to help you stay in the Premier League once you win promotion, but looks like you're building a good team.

[MENTION=228470]L. Ambrosio[/MENTION] indeed your midfield is too weak for a first position team. If you don't mind regens I can vouch for Gerrard, although he's quite expensive if not on a free transfer. Either way, definitely a good signing, if not by his age.

As for Superstar, it isn't that hard. Takes time to get used to if you started playing in Pro, like me, but after a full season you find ways to overcome their superhuman abilities. Taking full advantage of every chance given, like in your 8-shots-7-goals match, try to win as many corners as possible, etc.

I'll see if I get sober enough to update my ML today But I can let you know already that if I win everything this season I'll start a new ML with Swansea, trying to win the Treble or one of the European cups + FA Cup, only with players from the British Isles, in a maximum of 3 seasons. And then keep it going until I get bored

[MENTION=162077]SILVERS[/MENTION]urfer

Certainly he is. He's strong defensively and with a reasonable speed for the counterattack. I will definitely strengthen my midfield in the summer window, and I hope to hire at least one midfielder and a quality striker, as Kenny Miller is not as good as I thought.

[MENTION=215711]rebelinho[/MENTION]. Thanks for the tip, certainly'll take into consideration. The superstar level really is not that difficult after a certain playing time. I started playing PES 2015 for almost a month, maybe a little more, and from the beginning I used the highest difficulty (as I do every year), so the adaptation is more quiet. At first I could not win even with Milan, it bothered a bit, then I got a ML with Everton and was winning everything, so I started this with the Bournemouth to test me. I hope more updates on your ML!

Unprecedented Success & Talisca the Talisman

Just finished my second season with Valencia and it's without doubt one of the most successful seasons I've ever had...

Went all the way to the Copa Del Ray final and beat Real Madrid 2-0 to claim my 1st domestic honers.



Walked away with the La Liga title and a 9 point gap over Real in 2nd place, scoring 104 goals in the process...



...and a Brazilian Star is born.



Knocked out some tough opposition along the way to reach the UCL final!!!

Benzema Vs Zlatan!!!





3-1 winners on the night to complete a famous treble!

This photo shows the main man of my season, Talisca, executing a brilliant side step to avoiding a slide challenge from his Brazilian team mate Thiago Silva, before he goes on to score the 3rd goal to secure Valencia the Champions League Trophy.



He also helped me and my Brazilian national team win the Copa América in the Summer break, confirming he can cut it along Neymar and Oscar.





...hopefully this will also help his development for Valencia next season.

After a 0-1 loss at home to old rivals Real Madrid in the 1st leg of Spanish Super Cup, Valencia had it all to do. A thrilling, end to end match finished in glory and another trophy for Valencia to start the new season off with.





...and a UEFA Super Cup trophy made it an impressive 6 titles in all to start the new season off as I finished it!

This is how my team is looking at the beginning of my 3rd season...

My ML

Hi everybody!
I starded ML with PES United and pes players. Difficulty superstar and of course autosave. First season was terrible. Finished almost on the bottom of the table. PES United dedcided not to renew my contract so I had to look for another club. I chose West Midlands Village (it is Aston Villa I think) because they had quite good team. As it turned out later they had been relegated to 2nd division. That is probably why they agreed to give me a contract. I started with selling unnecessary players. During my previous season in PES United I found many promising players so I rebought them. WMV had quite big budget (30 mln) so building new team was easy and enjoyable. Generally, the thing I enjoyed the most in PES games was scouting. I love looking for new, unknown young players and developing them. It motivates me to play as long as my team will be the best.
I've noticed that in PES 15 there are many young and good free agents. Moreover, similarly to previous games, players are "reborning" after retirement. It is weird but it's probably made in order to keep constant number of players.
Ok, let's get back to the topic... Here is my actual squad list. I think average age of all my players oscillates around 23 so it's a good sign for the future.



Few words about it...
Players signed for free: Iturbe, Meyer, Villalba, Fisher, Monama, Martial.
In next transfer windows I'm going to get rid of Agbonlahor. As far nobody wants to buy him
Buffon, Pirlo And Rojeio failed to fluorish. Is it possible for them to get one more opportunity?
Thats all for now, ask if you want to know something

Welcome to PESGaming, hoping to see you become a regular presence here.

About your transfers... Iturbe, Fischer, Martial, all for free? That's just insane. Amazing deals.

If you tried to sell Agbon during the winter transfer window be aware that the AI never makes offer during that period, neither during July in the summer window. So, for all matters, you will probably only sell players during August.

Flourish opportunities may happen as long as the player is "Developing"

Also, is that your first season? Already regens of Zlatan, Thiago, etc? And are you playing in which platform, PC?

Keep it going!

[MENTION=228218]Silver Surfer[/MENTION] I've forgot that you've posted stuff here.

That's a damn fine squad, not really my kind but powerful, young and balanced. Are you missing any honours yet? Or is the world yours already?

Well, I finally made it to the no.1 club spot after 6 seasons, so I think I'm pretty much done with this ML now. I did sign a couple of players though. Decided to trade Eriksen (who I bought on a free midway through the season) for Veratti.... because why not? Veratti is 27 and still developing, likewise with Iturbe, which surprises me!

[MENTION=228467]dysproz[/MENTION] They are some good free transfers you've got there. I didn't know Iturbe could ever develop so highly. What season are you in? Must be a good few years to get Zlatan and T.Silva regens...well played.

As for players developing more than once, yes it is possible as long as they are 'still developing' and have not reached their prime.

[MENTION=215711]rebelinho[/MENTION] Cheers mate, i'm pleased with how my team is shaping up. My targets are to reach the No.1 club spot, win the World Club Cup...and maybe even the World Cup with Brazil. I feel as though the world is almost mine, but I don't want to end up like Tony Montana

Congratz Ali!! I wouldn't mind seeing some pictures of your final squad list after 6 seasons. Maybe time to begin a new journey with a different ML team.

I'm going to go with a French League 2 team for my next ML, try and get promoted and with the treble in 3 seasons.

I still might carry on a wee bit. After all, I still have a few young developing players like Martial, Zivkovic, Bakkal and Mastour.

Also, don't forget you can quote multiple posts in your repliers using the button, and you can also edit your posts. No double posting. oint:

No problem.

I'll try and post pics, but since I'm playing on PS4, there isn't a way to export them easily (unless it's through Facebook or whatever.... which I don't have), though I know there's a big update coming soonish so hopefully they'll change that.

I just take my ML screen shots photos straight from my TV with my phone, nothing technical here!
