The 'How are you doing in MLO' thread

Got a superb British based squad side together. still in Divison 5 i'm not completely active and i was surely set for promotion but i stuck it on coach mode for a while and they were doing well and getting loads of cash so i'm now pretty reliant on it, although i'm pretty good it's just a huge time saver. But it's been really harsh to me, conceding really late goals and i've been left about 40 points short of promotion which will be hard to recover from.

Here's my squad:

GK: Forster. Decent enough for me, does the job well and makes the odd good save. Valued at 150 million which is quiet a lot, but i can't find a good keeper for cheaper so i'll have to stick with him for the time being.

CB: Williamson. Very happy with how he's doing, a key part to my defence as he's very strong and can keep up with the very best in terms of pace. Hoping for a value rise of about 35k+ aswell which is surely deserved for a Newcastle regular.

CB: Mancienne. He's probably my best defender, can turn defence into attack and is more then capable at the back. One of my best players aswell, i'm not really focusing on improving either Mancienne or Williamson anytime soon.

CB: McGivern He's alright i suppose, but someone i'm looking to replace as soon as possible. My weakest defender, but only a recent signing replacing Martin Kelly. Does a decent enough job, but i'd much rather have someone like Franco Jara or Jeffrey Bruma as my third defender.

CM: Adam Really impressed with him, if i had to pick one player as a standout star player i'd pick him. Awseme captain with a lot of ability and always seems to be in the right position to find the net and is so crucial at set-pieces. A strong corner taker, confident penalty taker and sublime free-kick taker who can make a real impact when i'm not playing very well.

CM: Ramsey Valued quiet low for a player of his ability, and in the long term when he recovers from injury he should be up around the 200 million mark so i hope i'm making some good buisness here. Strong player, very good alongside Adam and can find the net aswell.

RM: Sinclair Really vital bit of flare for me on the wing, i don't really have another standout winger so it's vital that Sinclair's so good for me. He's got a lot of speed, some great dribbling ability and a good finisher.

LM: Ledley Very, very cheap for a player who is one of Celtic's star midfielders so i'm hoping for a value increase of at least 20 million. Fahey did poor for me, and Ledley's only just joined but he looks to have strong dribbling ability. He's doing well for me, and i don't feel the need to replace him at the moment.

AM: Dorrans Probably my weakest midfielder, but he's in for a value increase of at least 50 million so i'd be an idiot to sell him. Don't know why he was so cheap, but happy to have him even though he's not always brilliant on the ball as he'll improve.

CF: Beckford Good goalscorer, his defensive ability and workrate does wind me up though. May well look to sell him, but i'll be keeping him for a while anyway and dare i hope for at least a 30 million value increase.

CF: F.Campbell Only player to have played well for me recentley, scores a lot of goals, very fast and links up with Scott Sinclair well. He's had a value increase of 20 million or so recentley, but i'm hoping that the value rise increases more towards the 200 million mark.


SUBS

Basham My back-up defender, should have a value increase really as a regular for Blackpool. Fills in when i need to chuck a 4th defender at the back and does the job i suppose, not too much about him to be honest though.

Bannan He's in for a value increase, rated as low as 56 but he's still very good when he does play, good battler and overall a good player. Never gets a game, and only got 3 games for me but i do recommend him to teams looking for someone to play regular football for less then 40 million.

Fahey Worth like 100 million and he's stuck on my bench, he's pretty awful and i'm looking for a replacement for him but i just can't find a decent one. Deserves a value increase to about 140 million, really hope they update the English leagues values frequently.

Shelvey Really good player, chuck him in place of Dorrans at times. May get a value increase, but not too bothered about it as he really doesn't need one as i'm not going to sell him anytime soon unless he'll be replaced by a first teamer.

Hooper Chuffed to have signed him earlier today. Maybe not as much of a flare asset as i'd have liked but really capable when i need to attack and chuck in a 3rd striker. Should get a value increase of at least 60 million as Celtic's star forward, it's just a matter of them changing his value.

Borini Orite as a back-up, got Anthony Stokes lined up as his replacement just need another 4.2 million and i'll replace him. He's actually quiet good for his value, but i need to improve.

Just signed Odemwingie :D I intended to play him up front but his stats are well better at RM so ive shifted Emerton to RB .

Had a realisation that my team had no pace , now im stuck with Gutierrez leading the line.

Gonna try and save up for a striker in the 2.5 - 3mil range Guiza looks good. Ill scout more when ive built up some dough.

Is anyone else's defenders and defending in general making them want to break things? Honestly, my AI defense just backs off people and stands around with their hands in their pockets as the opposition blows past them. Also, when I switch players (if it actually goes to who I want it to go to) the player I just left stops...or, even better, actively runs AWAY from the guy in possession leaving him open for a shot.

Outside of these defense issues making me go prematurely bald I am loving MLO.

another thing that's bugging me alot is how easy it is to get muscled off the ball..I'm using gerrard with 86 body balance and red arrow, and minanda can just come and knock me off the ball everytime, its just not right

ejaramil- Make sure you have the cursor setting on SEMI ASSISTED. Also the sliders for defensive line will completely change your defensive line from high( defenders holding ground but will be susceptible to through balls and wingers) or very deep( defenders drop back when opposition has the ball to avoid being outrun). It is really amazing how much difference the sliders affect all areas of the game.

I just got beat(owned) 3-0 by a player using the stock players. This guy has his formation and tactics dead on and I was really struggling to get the ball anywhere near his goal. Just goes to show that you can get some great results with bad players.

I give up the dumbest freaking goals. It's mind boggling that the GK won't do anything, or he stands on the PK spot and stares at the clouds as the other team is walking the ball in the net..........uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh

Ill look into this ha. Through balls are killing me, so I will try to avoid setting up the offsides trap.

I only started MLO two weeks ago but been playin as much as I can when not in work have an alright team:

--------------------------------Mido (CF)--------------------------------------

-----------------------------Buffel (SS)----------------------------------------

Tote (LMF)------------------------------------------------------Vingaard (RMF)

-----------------------Grella (DMF)---------Winsnes (CMF)---------------------

Ruskin (LB)----------Baumann (CB)-----Stremer (CB)------------El Moubakari (RB)

------------------------------Van Dijik (GK)------------------------------------

Wish I had started playin this mode earlier as I seem miles behind a lot of players as regards squads but when the MLO was in beta testing it was mentioned that startin MLO later wouldnt be that much of an issue as the players that started early would get the good players early and move up the leagues so you would be playin people at a similar level squad-wise. But obviously with the OG cheat there are teams in d5 with ridiculous squads! I hope Konami do something about this like anyone with more than 10 matches which have ended because of this cheat should have there squads reset. It just ruins this great mode for people that really want to enjoy it and ACHIEVE a good sqaud through hard work and clever buys.

Any way rant over just gonna keep pluggin away and save them pennies to improve my squad!

That happened to me too!! Thrashing a guy 5-2 and they do maintenance! Havnt checked to see if I got the win yet :(

Played a guy who had default players exept for CR7 and after 2 mins match time I realise he keeps passing to ronaldo ad rubs like fuck- so everytime I kept taking him out- most of the time no fouls and I made sure I cleaned him when he first gets the ball around half way line so he doesn't get fouls in dangerous positions. Then I scored after about 8 mins and got ball out other side of pitch (my left) and kept the ball and he left after 11 mins. Job done and I get a three nil win :)

I've noticed a lot of D5 guys have Anelka and practically nobody else on their squad. Don't get me wrong, he would be perfect up front for me, but I've gotten rid of all my default players and replaced them with better players worth around 1m average. My improved defense (over default) usually takes quick care of even the best of players since they have no quality for support.

where do you go to see your players game stats/records.

I've looked in every menu I can think of.



Go to squad list, then press the RT/LT (R2/L2) buttons. You will see the value, appearances, goals, etc

I don't think the injuries stat works though. Van Der Vaart has been injured maybe 4 or 5 times during a game by me but I don't see any numbers.

tactics will depend on what players you have an what formation. but since you don't want to put any thought into it i suggest letting the cpu pick your formation and players.. it will be best for you. for me the tactics are very fun.
