PES6 an edit for improving master league fun
For a long time in multiple PES games I've religiously played the master league mode.
I noticed a major flaw in the game design of it. Players get too tired far too easily, and the CPU is really poor at choosing the right in form and non-fatigued players to play in their team against you. I began to notice this clearly when exhibition matches seemed so much harder, and when doing penalty shootouts in master league noticing various opponents form was rated blue/gray.
So as a 'bandaid', I thought I'd use the PESFan Editor to set every players 'condition' level to 8, and every players stamina level to 99.
The result? Well I went back to my long time league, which was set to have no player growth/decline - stats stay the same. So what happened was the CPU was far far more difficult to play against. With the same exact players that I used to dominate against the top teams (my team's players had weak stats), suddenly it became WAY more difficult. (I play on 6* with relatively poor players ... I try to adjust the difficulty by player selection to make it a challenge but giving me a good shot at the league (and cups) each year). I find this more fun as now I have more of a challenge and have to pick better skilled players to keep up (using more skilled players obviously makes it more fun!)
It seems like fatigue and form play a huge factor in how difficult the CPU team is against you in single player mode.
So basically, just as a tip for anyone who finds master league not too challenging, and perhaps too inconsistent from one match to the next in difficulty (seemingly unrelated to opposing players skill level)... try using PESFan Editor to do a mass adjusting of stats, setting all players to stamina 99 and condition 8. It might make things far more challenging and fun. Of course back up your option files before making edits like that. (BTW I play the PC version)
