The 'How are you doing in MLO' thread

[bigberry]

I had a game where it was raining and the passes were holding up so I changed my support to narrow . It really seemed to give me the edge im guessing my opponent didnt adjust anything.

Auto Offside trap. I havent noticed it in game management. Where do I find it ?

To those that have played a bit whove you signed how are you progressing ?

I checked in last night to find that after my 4 games played 2 wins 2 losses I had been "promoted" to D4 lol...
Played a game which was horrible, My housemate was playing WOW and apparently our connection doesnt cope well with WOW and PES at the same time, lagging something awful, I played some guy that felt it necessary to watch every replay over and over again, and say Goal! 4 or 5 times after each goal, quite annoying considering I got smoked 4 zip....
It may be that i just suck at this game but I prefer to blame the WOW generated lag, jsut when i thought I had run out of reasons to hate WOW, PES has provided another

Montanaro- I find that team style makes a rather large difference. The differences are large enough that I've started only changing the slider by about 2 points at a time to find my favorite value.

Seedykiwi- I found that there was a rather steep learning curve playing online if you mostly are used to playing against the CPU. The variety of different styles people use takes awhile to catch on to. After awhile, you'll be comfortable playing against almost anyone.

I dont mind getting flogged, dont mind at all. even with the horrendous lag of last nights game i managed to get into some pretty good scoring positions, just couldnt pull the trigger in time. I pretty much try and play a short passing game and look for an opening when a defender eventually flys out of the defensive line making a hole.. with the lag I was having to try time my passes (pressing X) a second or 2 earlier than normal, wa alright when i got a run on, but 1 pass out of time and it was all over... previous post was mainly me ranting hating on my housemate and his F***** WOW stealing my PES time..

 

[lyc10]

been playing absolute shit today..lost almost every game i played in...

 

[darthrymo]

Just played a guy from England named Darg. He was Liverpool had Forlan etc a strong team, went 3 up on him and he stopped playing so i just knocked the ball around for a while before scoring a couple more. after i scored my 5th the game quit, i thought he's probably quit then when i noticed my ranking had dropped, went to check my games and the result was 3-0 victory for him. Feckin ragin, is this a glitch or something? Anyway Darg your a cheat cos no way could you have that good a team in division 4 and i still pumped you so GIRFUY, i hope i play you again cos im going to dish out some payback. CHEAT!

 

[bigberry]

Played 3 lost 3 scored 0 struggling.

Got rid of Cavenaghi for Dempsey and Jordi Gomez for Kallstrom.

I cant keep the ball under pressure as in Im holding r2 flick the stick away from them and most times nothing happens.

Whats the secret ? I want a sidestep or a quick stepover to get half a hard should I be using L2 in these circumstances?

 

[iamcanadianeh]

R2 is the right move, but there are tonnes of moves you can use. Check the command list and practice

Anyway, does anyone know why some people are buying the worse players in the game, for example the players who are 20 or so overall and cost next to nothing? There seems to be some advantage to doing this because the number one ranked player in the world has about 7 or 8 of these players and I always see people buying them. Does it bring the value of your team up somehow so that you get better gate prices, or is it simply that it brings the overall rating of your team down so that you get matched up with worse teams (easier to win then). Either way it seems like it must be a cheat.

I have about 3-4 guys who are valued under 10k. I switched some of my default players for these guys for two reasons. 1. It increases the money I have to spend for good players and 2. It decreases the fee for playing games. I dont plan on keeping them forever, but I just started and don't have much money, so any little bit helps.

 

[riquelme10]

Well, I find MLO really addicitive, but I dont know what the hell is going on, sometimes I play incredible and then other days I cant win one frigging match, I dont have a kick ass team, but what I have noticed is that your best bet is to buy strong forward and midfielders as defenders will not give you an advantage, I need to find a way to solve the sliders I think thats where my problem is. Somehow my midfielders are completely disconected from my forwards, My midfielders are never involved in any goal... what could be going wrong?

Its not a cheat. I have about 7 or 8 of these guys in my team. They're called squadfillers. I NEVER use substitutes, I'm sure a lot of people don't either. So why waste money on players you never use?

 

[alx-9]

Earlier today I played against this scrub who had 1100+ games played. I thought I had played loads with my 220 or so games, this is just taking the piss. 1100 games! And his crappy ass is still in division 3 with all those star players of his.

 

[Die Hard Pes Fan]

Played some gimp about 30 mins ago- beating him 7-0 then scores the three own goals so I sent him a message saying 'fuck you' he replies 'fuck you and your mother' real mature, just like his playing style!

Btw Mokoena is a solid cheap cb! For any team struggling with funds- around £1 mil.

My team:
.......................Ivarov.....................
Giersen...Mokoena...Valeny.... Ruskin
........................Dodo.....................
Weiss..............Minanda........Ximelez
..............................Muller..............
...................Nilmar........................

Going strong, in Division 4 on 499 points, so about mid table.

My record is:
Played- 123
Won- 61
Drew- 31
Lost- 31

Win Percentage- 49.6%
Average goals- 1.59
Average conceded- 1.07

I've changed Rozenahl with Naldo (81 Overall), the rest is the same. My club capacity is at 38mio. Now I'm getting some nice subs.

Jesus how many own goals did you have to score to get a team like that I wonder....:ninja:

 

[Moshstar]

What I'd also really like to see is some sort of filter so that I don't have to play against anyone from Spain, Italy or France. I know its discriminating but 9 times out of 10 the match is either extremely laggy or they have some ridiculous team with a crappy manager rating. So if you beat them, there's not much of a reward but if you lose or draw your rating takes a big hit.

Yesterday I played some guy with Ronaldo, Eto'o, Sneijder, Schweinsteiger and others but his manager rating was 401. Conceded a cheap late equalizer and of course my rating has to drop like 15 points...

There is the option to arrow it down to similar rank & spoken language n online options, works a bit better but not perfect, I know what you mean, I've been totally Dc'd n matches too which make me look like a quitter. which i aint by the way!

I'm loving MLO. It's better than I thought it would be. It was tough to get started until I realized i can release my default players and get money for them.. thought release just fired them.

Anyway now I was able to buy a couple of players and really enjoying playing people online.

My question is since players don't develop, do they also not age? So no point in buying a promising player but better to get an aging but still quality player?

So then, if that's right, every team who has these players should have the minimum amount of squad players. I'll have to check that out.

 

[Montanaro]

It's the only way I've been able to get a decent team without playing 500000000 games iamcanadianeh.

Had to buy some players valued under 600k but they are better than stock players.

Has anyone seen anyone play with this CF/WF named Mayukins? He has 97 pace and accel, but I can't find him when I search for his name (and I know i wrote it down right). The only player similar to him is martins. Did the guy I play glitch this Mayukins guy into the game or something?

btw, I just signed Santa Croce. Now I have Two solid CBs. Beria has 88 speed 85 accel and Croce has 85 speed 88 accel, both with 80+ body balance and 75+ response. Not the greatest of headers, but most people cross the ball anyway.

Both can be had under 2.5 million, excellent players for me so far.

Can anyone suggest a good heading/body balance striker? I have K Davies who is real cheap, but he isn't the most accurate of shooters, but sending balls to his head is dangerous business.

 

[st. louis]

Picking up the super cheap squad players and putting all your money into 3 or so great players seems to be the way most people play. It's just not the way I did it. Having said that, I love playing against the teams who do that as they are forced to play their stars even when on purple form. If you run their team into the ground by passing it around, they don't have any subs worth putting on either and always persist with the stars despite having no stamina left. In general, if these 3 star players don't score real early in the game they usually lose or draw depending on how good their defense is because the star players are too tired later to do much.

It's probably good that I haven't spent the money on that big name striker as the game might start to get a bit boring. I create an abundance of high quality chances but overall my strikers shooting abilities are rather poor. It sure makes for an exciting game everytime.

You are required to have IIRC 16 players on your team at any time.

Montanaro- Mayukins is Obafemi Martins in real life. He is Nigerian. He must have transferred to a team who Konami have the naming rights to.

Foss- There is no point to buying promising young players in MLO. The stats are not going to get any better.

 

[Montanaro]

I've got a good formation now, it's extra effective because I've learned to SLOW DOWN. I only sprint in certain circumstances.

Passing the ball all over the other team and have 60%+ possession really kills the pump and dump tactic everyone uses. Also it opens up a few shots for me, usually of better quality than the "other" tactic people use. I just need to practice shooting from 20 yards or so and I'll be simply unbeatable judging by the amount of time I spend unmarked with the ball in that area.

btw are you able to practice with your MLO team?
