The 'How are you doing in MLO' thread

[foss]

Personally I've played around 200 games and I haven't had a lot of problems. Yeah people quit on me but I always win money and get a 3-0 win.

The only anomaly was when I was losing and the game disconnected on me towards the end. I thought the other person quit (which was odd since he was winning) but when I checked it showed me winning 3-0.

Now I don't know how the server determines who quit but that might be the problem rather than someone cheating to win when they quit. How do they even do that? Or are you just assuming it was that person's fault and not the server?

You say it happened to you multiple times in the exact same way? Can anyone else re-create that same error?

 

[Montanaro]

people don't quit to win, they quit so they don't lose during competitions, which allows them to qualify, which allows them to make more money, which allows them to get Messi and Ronaldo.

It's not much of a problem in quick matches, but it happens occasionally in tournaments. Also a lot of people will try to lag out the game in the knockout phase if they know they are ranked higher than who they are playing against, because in the circumstance of a lagged out match, the highest rank team automatically advances. This way the person can avoid playing and possibly losing.

I'm surprised you haven't encountered any of this yet, since almost everyone I've talked to online and on here have.

My attack has gone a bit stale lately, finding goals hard to come by. Have managed to hustle up 5 mil. Any suggestions for a decent striker. wanted Torres as im a lliverpool boy but cant wait for another 3 mil!!!

if you're going to get torres, i suggest you get higuain instead, similar stats and height, but higuain has a form of 6 and injury A, the only thing is he doesnt have many useful cards which seems quite retarded to me.

 

[eMerica]

Higuain has the most appearances for my team at 643, and has 393 goals and 134 assists. Hes worth 2.5million more then when I signed him, I defo recommend.

Lisandro is a good singing also, goals to games ratio 79 is in 140.

L. Fabiano, is my latest striker and after 1 goal in 13, I thought he was a shocker however sinse then, hes up to 69 in 91 lol. Scored several hatricks with him, plenty of assists too.

I play a very aggressive 4-3-3 however, with Ribery or VDV playing as a SS, to 2 of the above 3. I play quick counter. So alot of my goals are through ball based, or individual skill.

I signed Robben on Friday to sit on the bench, or play SS, when Rib/VDV have bad form. In around 30 games hes had about 16 games with green form or higher, and has 5 goals 5 assists in 12 games. Cant make out if he improves my squad or not =/ Ribery is so much better. My best player by miles.

[sedgleywolves]

Just got promoted to D3 and finding the squads much stronger and my strikers are struggling a bit! I've got Owen who I'm happy enough with but need someone else to do a job with him!

Who do people recommend for around the 4.5 mill' mark? Tried Iaquinta, Kuyt and Hulk all of which haven't impressed me! Considering Grafite next as I like a bit of pace and strength?!

Reccomendations??

 

[AK14]

Sedgleywolves, I like Julio Baptista, very strength and good shoot and head skills

 

[iamcanadianeh]

Huntelaar is all I need up front, but if you have more cash you could surely find someone with better speed and dribbling.

 

[eMerica]

He may have only played 3 games for me but wow D. Silva playing as SS, behind Ribery and Higuain is a treat.
Played 4 with 3 Goals 3 Assists.

The guys passing is ridiculous, normally I play VDV behind them but his responsiveness/ form are ruining his place in my team (Still amazing on his day, so I play him in midfield if possible).

I sold Robben (8million flop imo) after 28 games with 5 goals 5 assists... and replaced him with Silva, probably the biggest no brainer ever! His left foot is so much better then Robbens, and he was 2 million cheaper too.

These kind of signings reinvigorate this game mode for me, I was starting to get bored and faze out playing MLO espeically after I got relegated from D1 with 531 points, when I checked Monday around 1am, the breakpoint was 519, so I was pretty pissed about that.

So I guess my motivation is coming back. ^_^

i liked silva in the demo~but didnt work out for me in mlo
higuain is still by far my star player 700 goals in 680 games

Had a real good look at Higuian, and even played a few games as Real Madrid to get a feel for him. But in the end i let my heart rule over my head and bought el nino!
So far so good, he has blasted me to my first final in ages and my team seems to have a better feel about it. The only issue now is do i play 433 or an attacking 442.

 

[Makavelian]

I threw pes mlo for a couple of games last night.
No matter how pissed of this game gets you, after you haven't played it for a while ,it's always great when you come back to it.
Currently languishing in div 3 after being quit cheated out of the top 2 divisions on pc.I've changed my squad again now to the real life genoa squad.
I scored a screamer from the half way line with Franco Zuculini hes been on my bench for ages and not played 1 match but i decide to sub him on and the goal was his first touch the goalkeeper was on his line aswell. Best long ranger i've scored on any pes .so i wait for the highlights at the end of the match so i can record with Fraps,and when i come back to the game i lose connection to the server.I was fuckin green:mellow::huh::crymore:

i know what you mean, i would have got torres if his injury wasn't C, god damn i have fabregas with a B for injury, and cheapasses try to chop him down every game

 

[alx-9]

I've earned a ridiculous amount of money in the last 2 weeks. Maybe something like 20 million... My squad is now worth 60 something million.

Here's my lineup:


------------Luis Fabiano-------------
---Forlan----------------------------
-------------------------------------
--------------Arshavin---------------
-------------------------------------
Robben-----------------Van Der Vaart
-------------------------------------
------------Bouba Diop---------------
-------------------------------------
Wendel-------Pique------------Solano
-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
--------------Lucio------------------
-------------------------------------
-------------Friedel------------------

 

[alx-9]

I made it to 2 division 2 cup finals yesterday, won the first but lost the 2nd. For the rest I've been cheated out like 6 or 7 times in the past week, really frustrating.


The easiest way to recognize a cheater is if their connection ball icon is completely deflated (if you quit a lot if deflates). Konami should ban players with a deflated ball from joining any tournaments, surely not that hard to put into the game?


Fortunately I've never experienced the time out cheat, that must be even more infuriating than the usual disconnect cheat.



C. Ronaldo is now 18.3 million on the xbox 360! Anyone starting MLO soon for the first time should just get him or Messi asap with 20 squadfillers and then wait another couple of weeks before actually playing. Sell him at his new elevated price and you'll have made a few million profit for doing nothing...

updated my team again, still enjoying MLO.

AM: De Jong
LW: Gronkjaer
CF: Huntelaar

SUB1: Blind
SUB2: Poepon

 

[Montanaro]

finally got huntelaar and played all day.

I don't think I'll touch the game again. Too many 0-0 games because players press long pass all game and nothing happens except offside calls.

Not to mention the horrible ai. Ugh nothing like a guy who can intercept a cutback pass in the box just watches as it goes BETWEEN his legs....yup I'm sure most players would shit their pants and not even try to touch the ball in such situations. The goalies are even worse,

One bright side is I got huntelaar to score a 35 yard screamer, was absolutely brilliant. But it's not enough to make me play more.

 

[Raykion]

Started off poorly, but doing great ow. Van Der Mich is amazing, 94 speed, and SO cheap. Etzanichenko is awesome in free kicks, yet, so cheap as well
I'm poor now, got arround 260.000€ :crymore:. Any players you guys would recommend? I'm thinking about buying Fellaini.

 

[eMerica]

OK Im currently 2nd in Division 2 waiting for Promotion back to D1 (stiched up last week) with 580 points,

Just got my first serious injury after 850 odd matches... Ribery is out for 41 games, I was beating some guy from D3 6-0 in a QM, so he started hacking me out lol.. Ribery got caught late, next thing I know he cant continue, thought nothing of it. Went to my next match, and I couldnt select him. Just looked on my squad list and it says 41 matches remaining lol whata joke... I was thinking of just selling him and rebuying him, but I have well good stats with him, 269 games 174 Goals, 116 Assists. (Bear in mind I played him RMF for the first 100 odd games)

My front three of Higuain CF, Ribery SS, Silva SS, is magnificant...

My other attackers Lisandro and Luis Fabiano, have not had a sniff for a long time mainly used when the first 3, are bad form only. O well... guess its time to give them games again. Will be a sad loss, Ribery was my one "god" player, I could dance past players with his pace. Injury C has finally cost me!

Maybe I'll sign Eto'o short term I need a pacey player to complement my attacking trio! Robben was awful.
