There is no "too much". :laugh: Looks like a decent side. Where are you in the table currently?

First. :smug:

The only team I seem to struggle against at the moment, is Utd. Bunch of dirty cheating cunts, they are. :mad:

In PES2015 Utd were the easiest team to play against, I'll have a go against them in Exhibition and see if it is any different.

[MENTION=180348]Ali[/MENTION] what season are you in? Ceballos at 81 is hugely better than mine, even if he was injured over 14 weeks.

Edit: I'm blind. When did you get the man? And how much was his OVR when you signed him?

I'll post my most delayed RM start today, for the moment I'll just a question? Do you guys also have a permament 3 players injured, for over 2 months? Ceballos came back, in the same "calendar day" Denis is out for 10 weeks. Suso was out, came back and Isco soon followed him (4 weeks). Jesé was out, came back and... Deulofeu soon followed him (5 weeks). It's getting quite impressive, how the game always finds a way to handicap me.

Cheers for that! Will give it a whirl next time. As regards the injuries, sounds like you're just having bad luck. With the exception of one of my default strikers in season 1 having a 10 week lay off (can't recall his name), I've been fairly clear of injuries. Season 2 I recall Suarez being out for 1 week and L.Insigne being out for another week.. But that's about it!

A year ogo. He was 80OVR then. So he hasn't developed that much, his graph is pretty much levelled out already, which is daft when he's only 21. Hopefully he'll get a flashing red arrow though. Koman has just had his, as has Pereira.

Promotion cash !?

So I finished my second season in ML. Won the Sky Bet (on the last day.. Villa got beat, who'd a thunk it!?) and beat Citeh in the cup to claim the double.. Europa league here we come! I did the "every day" stoppage during transfer window period and managed to assemble quite a magnificent team. I'd upload a picture except it fails every single time I try no matter how much I try to resize etc! .. (Any help with that would be appreciated!)
Anywho I shipped out Vasilj, Grenier, Campbell (Arsenal left peg guy), Giorza, Camacho, Lampard (16 and I've no patience for Blues :laugh:), Tiago (DM 16 also) and brought in Vidal, Dante, Hummels, Bale and Walcott... And a few freebees for the finance business end of things. Needless to say I've absolutely battered teams in my first few games, including drubbing some shams in the Europa lge and a 7 nil mauling of Birmingham in the cup. Looking good thus far, with the Community Shield already in the bag (via a whooping of the Gooners) I'm on course for a clean sweep of silverware! (Wishful thinking I know... :laugh:)

Current 11:

Keeper: Nunes
Back 3: Dante (left), Hummels (mid), Collocini (right)
DM: Vidal
Flanks: Bernat (left), Walcott (right)
Hole: Suarez
Front 3: Bale, Zaza, L.Insigne.

PS: Had a good chuckle reading the replies to the skills question. :laugh: :laugh: ... I sometimes try the Ozzy Ardilles when I'm cruising, (double tap right stick) only for nostalgia purposes from my ISS days on the SNES! :laugh:

UPDATE:
I was disappointed to see my promotion and first placing in the Skybet only earned me 1.2 mil !! Also my FA Cup victory also brought me in 1.2 mil !? Given promotion these days (in the real world) is worth something like 130 mil to a club, surely 1.2 mil is incredibly measly!!? I did well in the transfer window (as you can see above) but surely for getting into the Premiership and Europa league, they should put in a fairly hefty windfall of spondooleks no? -Europa lge games are earning me 1 mil per game and Premier lge home games about half a mil. Decent moolah but where's my windfall Konami !?!? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I think I only got about £6/7m for finishing in a Champions League spot.

That's weird, Xavi went to Altletico in my game too. :hmm:

These fuckers with Gerrad, Xavi, Tiago and Gabi (meaning not so fast players) in the midfield managed to overrun Tello, Castillejo, Suso and... Bellerin. Jackson and Drogba score every single shot they attempt, meaning either I have a perfect match, or they'll score. Not to mention the sliding tackle war they either win by not being given a foul, or cardless from the first yellow onwards.

So yeah, different copies of the game, on different platforms, behaving the same way, is the least of my weirdnesses.

Serie B to Serie A promotion also gives ~€1.2m.

Three very cool things that happened this weekend:

1. Magic touch
https://streamable.com/z96k

2. "Me?! I didn't even touch him!"
https://streamable.com/ofuv

3. "Oh, you already have a yellow? Carry on then."
https://streamable.com/y8ct

I can't play Superstar anymore. They blatantly cheat.

That magic touch warrants a joypad flung against the wall! Konami should cover such hardware casualties with a 50 euro voucher (for a new joypad) on a case to case basis, on this occasion your case would be a landslide win! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

In regards to trophies why isn't there any for competing in relevant leagues like the La Liga BBVA. Yet contrary there's trophies for the Asian league that no one cares about on top of that shit mode BAL..

It's not separated by league, only continent. So there's a few trophies for Europe, a few for Asia and a few for south America.

Ah derby matches. I kind of like that the game makes them more physical. There should be more fouls and injuries from those matches, but yeah, the lack of enough cards means that hacking is an advantage. So derby games become too difficult.

If it's any consolation, Gerrard was one of those who got hacked off the pitch when I was managing England in a 'friendly' with France a few days ago. England vs France is clearly earmarked as a derby match as well.

Yeah, hence why I've found it difficult against Utd (I'm Bolton btw). Some of the slide challenges they do are so unnecessary.

Yes, when I set up Woking Town, I think I made half of London my enemy. At the time, I thought it would just make the crowd noise more fun. Little did I know!

Chelsea are definitely my nemesis. I'll have to check who else is in the list.

The White Knights


Disclaimer: I am not a Real Madrid fan, I do not use them for the "long ball heaven" sake,
and most definitely I do not support those who do the latter.

And it's time for a new ML!


EL JEFE taking charge. A new era begins.

The fresh smell of fresh players to buy, fresh goals to score, fresh championships to win. The magic lays here, in the beginning, sorting out the good from the bad and planning future events. This was the chosen formation and squad:


4-2-1-3 classic, what can go wrong?

Only three players to remain from the initial squad, meaning this August was a busy one. As usual, to keep track of moneys win and moneys out, Excel was the preffered tool:


*means winter transfer

Total spendings went up to a staggering €215.4m, conpensated by €194.5m won in player transfers. After the wages payment the scales showed a reasonable result:


Real Madrid, money-making machine.

But who are the new faces at the club? Some world stars, like David De Gea, need no introduction but others, like Castillejo and Darder, might not (yet) be well known around Santiago Bernabéu.



The captain.

Ah, Bartra... Football fans were quick to bash you for (how unlikely!) being overtaken by Bale. Yes, it was a bit embarassing. But you'll always have a place in my team. My kind of centre back. Wonderful technique and passing abilities. And managed by Puyol! The place is yours.



We meet once again.

All I ever wanted,
All I ever needed,
Is you in my team.
Words are very unnecessary,
They can only do harm.

Enjoy the passing!



Expensive, but worth every penny.

The physical approach I needed. Denis is not a box-to-box, Ceballos is not a physical box-to-box. His stamina is priceless, even more during the recurring injury waves that hit Real's midifield mercilessly.



One word: Zidanesque

You know that moment when you notice you have a gem in your hands, predestined to great things? Ceballos is one of them. He really is that special. Alongside Castillejo and Neves, the purest talent in the team.



The biggest of all surprises.

This was a stat-signing, meaning I had no idea what I was going into. Ever since he arrived I thank myself for those extra seconds scouting the depths of PES database. What a talent.



#10, maestro, the beating heart.

Vison. Passing. Dribbling. Willingness. He's got it all. Unexpectedly good at sliding tackles, he's the first line of my defence. Fulcral.



PES2013 had Giovinco, PES2016 has Muniain.

Every instalment of the series has hidden beasts that perform well over their stats. Normally such players are short, quick, explosive and behave like Messi, at a fraction of the cost. Muniain is that player. My biggest attacking weapon, can decided games all by himself.

Current squad and formation:

[MENTION=215711]rebelinho[/MENTION]. Why did you wanna overhaul Real Madrid? I usually like my Master League games to have a few of the super all star teams like Barca, Bayern and Real Madrid. Makes champions league games more meaningful at least for the first few seasons.

But of course the transfer AI can be pretty bad at times particularly for one of my BAL mode where Real Madrid sold off all their stars. Ronaldo got sold to Barcelona! Which was genius in a way because Messi and Ronaldo were maestroing/legend boosting each other to keep the decline at bay.

Maybe for my next ML play through I'll get Messi, Ronaldo, Moura and Neymar. The two legends will probably boost the two Brazilians to sky high ratings!

Ronaldo LWF.
Moura RWF.
Neymar and Messi CF/SS.

424 formation.

Has anyone been able to sign José Giménez yet? Guy is a beast. I actually managed to get Atletico to negotiate the other day, but their price was too high.

I swear the game is robbing me.

Current status: Denis out for 5 weeks (yet) and Suso out for another 9 weeks. Both have 3 in injury resistance.

I had that with Danilo at RB during the summer. Valued at about £14M, they refused to sell at first. Then they wanted £31M or similar. Then after negotiating a reduction they wanted £29M. I was not going to pay for that (and couldn't anyway), so tried to negotiate a reduced price again and they told me where to go. So I bought Clyne, who I had lined up as a backup plan.

I then tried signing Danilo again as soon as the season started up and they said I could have him for £12M. He arrives in January. Bye bye one of the originals (Giorza) who had been my starter last season and is now set to be 3rd choice.

I swear the game is robbing me.

Current status: Denis out for 5 weeks (yet) and Suso out for another 9 weeks. Both have 3 in injury resistance.


I wonder if the game is harder in that way once a squad value hits a certain total to keep the challenge going. Just a guess. I've had three long term injuries and two short ones in two and a bit seasons. Arcas (mid bloom), Lukaku and Jese for a few months each. Kiko at LB was hacked down twice in one game received treatment both times and missed a couple of games. And I think Castledine missed a match somewhere as well.
