I can't select it. It's a dead option. I have the Wii version so I don't know if it's different on the HD consoles. I can only change Match Time, Future Development, and Entrance.

Yeh the Wii version will be another model or version of the game if you like. I remember PES 5 was like this you couldn't change the difficulty once ML had started, you may have to RESTART your ML and before you play a game try and change it then.
I'm sure once you start ML you can choose the difficulty, but maybe not once you start going though the schedule.
Keep us informed whatever the case is.
If only PS3 had that 'display future development curve'. I used to love that on ps2I can't select it. It's a dead option. I have the Wii version so I don't know if it's different on the HD consoles. I can only change Match Time, Future Development, and Entrance.

Yeah, I think this is my fourth attempt to start a ML. I'm finally getting a little comfortable with Professional. Drew my frist two games. I was supposed to win the first match but I conceded a late goal. I just can't use Regular. It's too easy.

I have no idea what exactly that is. Can you explain?
I'm just starting my ML. I do need to ask one question though-
Are there still unrealistic transfers made by the computer on ML?
What I mean is incidents such as Puyol joining Real Madrid, Drogba joining Athletico Madrid and Agureo signing for Aston Villa? I also hated it in PES 2011 when Bayern Munich would sign all the best players in the game like C. Ronaldo. This meant I was never able to test myself against the best players in the game as they had all signed for teams I would rarely, if ever, face (you could only play Bayern in the Champs League of course). These changes all occurred with transfer frequency set low!
It really killed the game for me as by the 3rd season teams had changed so much they were barely recognisable and much less competitive.
Did anyone else find this unbearable and have Konami rectified this?

I thought people might be interested in my experience, been playing PES since ISS and ML every year (I pretty much only buy the game for ML).
So this year, is the hardest I've ever played. I usually play on professional and I'm able to cope and enjoy that. With PES2012, I find it very frustrating and I echo the pains people have had about the AI being untackleable or scoring in crazy situations. I've nearly smashed my controller into pieces several times BUT you guys seems to be having a similar problem to me!
I got promoted with Reading (in 2nd position) from D2 (playing with championship patch) after the first season, it was tricky. In the premier league goals are few and far between. The season just finished, I finished low but didn't get relegated (this was my mission, not the chairman's though. Europa league? HAH!). I checked the stats, I had the LEAST goals conceded even with my TERRIBLE defence, honestly it's got more holes than a sieve. I also have the LEAST goals scored and reading the other posts this seems to be the reoccuring problem.
I think we can learn to defend pretty well but scoring is incredibly hard at this level. You play for draws (4,5,1 or 4,2,3,1) or hope for a fortunate 1-0. Getting a goal scorer you can rely on seems nigh on impossible unless you find a nice free agent with reasonable salaries (most of us won't though!).
Don't go crazy looking for a super striker early on, get yourself a solid keeper from your 'list of targets' and some supplementary midfielders (utility players) on loan. One wide one (who can play both RMF & LMF with 80~+ speed), and a CMF/DMF player who can pass a bit.
One thing I see people complaining about is not being able to sign anyone early on. You must remember the key problem. TEAM RANKING. Check your Team ranking and look at the team around you, mostly those will be D2 teams and a few european teams or some from eresdivisie. Write them down and go through these teams in the 'team info' section and check out their squads. Anyone who is 'an established member of the squad' you won't get. But those on the transfer / loan list OR 'struggling to keep his place in the team' is worth a bid! (Also note their salary, early on I would advise you aim below £200,000) I would also recommend not loaning / buying players who have a low form (e.g. 2). Form of 5 is my benchmark, 4 is also acceptable but no lower.
Summary: DON'T waste weeks going for players who are out your reach, be wise, be patient and have reasonable expectations.

It means that you can see the players potential if you play them good- It could show walcott have a peak or 91 (this was in pes 2008 on ps2) if you play them as required
Had to start my master league again, I tried PES edit patch, didn't like it so uninstalled it, but then when I started the game as normal I couldn't load my ML, it said it was from a different version.
So I'm back in the lowly D2 again
Doing better than I did in my 1st season I was in D2 though currently 10th about half way though the season.

You do know the AI and yourself have the ability to dive right? It's part of the game that you and the AI can cheat and dive. If you get it wrong (and the AI does too) they get a yellow card.

Huh? I don't see any diving on that play. That was a legit penalty.
And I don't dive.
I wouldn't of give it, but as an above post says, you can dive and the CPU will too.
It's a pain when they are given, but it happens.

Even on the Wii version?
Really love this years ml it has one thing back that was missing for awhile......longevity! Your not going to sweep up every title in your season and i love that coz it makes it feel really worth it when you do. My only gripes with it would be the training the moaning of playes when not picked and the if or soon to be in my case you get sacked you've to start all over again!!
This mode has so much more potential to give id love it to have a contract that you sign at the beginning with realistic goals set for you by the chairman over the given duration.....a more indepth scouting something like fifas to scour the corners off the globe for talent.........training to be overhauled.......have squad status so your players know where they stand and maybe even team talks! I know some might just say go play fm if you want that but i think it would add to a great mode!!

I've tried that, it sucks. Everytime, and I say everytime I dived I got a yellow card. And if you dive again with the same player, you easily get the red card, which is stupid. I do understand that sometimes you fail at it, but most of the time I tried it when it was really a fault. You know when you're running with your attacker for the ball, and then a defender is like holding you back, trying to not let go. Then I dive. Nothing, i get a yellow card. How stupid... If they made this, they could at least make it work.
I'm pretty much the same as hectic glenn (c.o.y.s ), in that I've played every installment of this game and i'm only really interested in ML offline.
I must say when i first played the game i hated it. The shooting, the passing, the graphics and thought about trading it in and sticking with 2011. The only thing i was impressed with was the AI movement.
Still, i decided to crack on with my ML choosing the crap players on professional.
1st season finished bottom. 3 wins and not many goals. the few shots i did get in where like toe punting a beach ball in a high wind.
2nd season, same as. 4th from bottom, Sacked !
It was pretty obvious that i'm not as good as i thought i was so it was bite the bullet time.
I switched to regular with pass assist on +1, 10 min matches and " hey presto " mid table with some lovely build up play but still the same rubbish finishing from my rubbish strikers.
I found this set up to be much the same as 2011 on top player but with better AI.
My formation as as usual is RB CB CB LB
DMF
RMF CMF LMF
SS
CF
Giving plenty of support in midfield. The best way i found to defend is aggressivly in midfield doubling up on players using square + cross and only resorting to R2 + cross on the edge of the box.
Second season. set my advanced search for players to out of contract players picked up a CF and SS both on 71 aged 17 and 19
What a difference when shooting ! the new boys are pinging in the goals from everywhere. going round the keeper, or sloting past him in a one on one.
At the half way stage, I'm two points clear at the top and leading the top scorer and asisst tables
If i get promoted then I'm going to up it to professional for the prem and try to avoid relegation. If i do, I'll up it again , or maybe not ?
O.K so i'm not up with the top players on superstar level. Like I give one! I've found my own level for the time being and I'm loving it

I've just finished my season on ML - I won the D1 League and the Europa League in the end! Lost to Chelsea in the semis of the England Cup.
I finished 6 points clear at the top and had a great run of fixtures and wins since my last post. I won against Arsenal at home and United away fairly comfortably - in fact I hammered Arsenal 7-1 and beat United 3-1. Perhaps it's time for me to move up to top player? My top striker, F. Rodriguez scored a crazy amount of goals - top of my head I can't remember, but it's certainly +50, 20+ in the Europa League and 30 odd in the English League.
Just starting my fifth(?) season and have a budget of 50 million. Great stuff! The doctors etc have all been promoted too - I think I actually prefer the financial manager being off in the ML.
Made a few signings - a GK, two CB, two LWF, a CMF and a CF, I've also got rid of some of the players who haven't quite done it for me the last few years. All my signings are now 80+ players, which is fantastic. Using the targets tool is the most effective way of getting cheap players who are quite good. I'd suggest listening to one of the posters above - there's no point wasting weeks trying to get players who just won't join.
Really enjoying the game now - this year's aim is the Champions League!
