Hey Guys, Girls!

I play to win, and 90% of it, is not pretty. Most wins are 1-0. If I get a goal- the other team can forget about 'feeling' the ball ever again. They're not getting it! it's 90% keepaway from there. I still try to score but only if its Very safe. It back fired a couple of times, but I'm now in 3rd place in D2, threatening for the 2nd.

I feel like there is a real team fighting for each other, a gang of rejects and undergdogs uniting to show the world. Little do they know that I'm saving money for next year, and most of them will be sold for a bag of balls.

(Are there any girls in here? ;) )
^ Exactly. I really enjoy that sometimes i have to struggle in order to land a 1-0 victory. This has never ever been nescessary in any pes game (or fifa game for that matter) Sometimes i have to switch an attacker and bring on a midfielder and change my tactics during the game to defend my narrow lead :) I think the tactical aspects in the game are amazing. I can see the effect right away when i change players/formation/tactics and i love it

I'm shit.
Been playing PES for years and this is the most frustrating one for me yet.
I simply cannot stop them scoring and I have few chances.
I've tried 3 at the back 4 at the back 2 DMs, 3 up front, 2 up front, 4 up front, 3313, 343, 433, 424, 4123, 442, 4231, etc. can't get anything to work. Even worse I decided to just try using real players for Inter, Juve, Fiorentina...still no success. Changed game speed-1, -2, even tried +1 and +2....no help, have used quick counter, possession, all out attack....again no success. Went from top player to superstar and back to top player...no help, even think Top Player is more difficult.

yup, top player is hell, superstar is way more playable, so mayb you should change it back to superstar...


i have issues of my own, any one know a ps3 support forum, my console just goes off at intervals, and starts flashing the red light.... sometimes it goes of about 10 secs after i put it on, or sometimes at the same point during the game (strange, makes me wonder if its a software glitch with the game) sometimes randomly, even during game play. sometimes might take hours, but always goes off... anyone experienced this before?

Can anyone give me information about the club budget?
I start using lazio with euro currency, i only got 3 million euro
I start it all over again using lazio still with euro currency, i got 3,5 million euro
And i start it over again Lazio with USD currency, I got 53million USD:w00t
I don't think it's because I'm using the US version:)
Anyone can explain or share about the club money?
Thanks:)

^ You can change currency in ML options without restarting...what happens with the 53mil USD if you switch to EUR? =)

The difference in starting budget (3 or 3.5) may be related to your youth players. They also vary in rating and salary each time you start new ML

Hey Guys, Girls!

Just started my ML experience a couple of days ago, and man- did I miss PES or what?! Coming from a couple of years of FIFA (good but, it's like cardboard-tasteless), I am loving the PES ML. There's just something romantic about ML that FIFA never, ever managed to come close to.

So I'm 3/4 done my 1st season with the rejects of the football world. I play the dutch 4-3-3; point down, with Cinalton-Ordaz-Shinzi(whatever the name) up-top. Ordaz is leading the league in goals for me, he has a decent shot.

The only position that I've strengethed is the Goalie. I found that the training cones were more useful than the default duche. I picked up Ikeme, the Nigerian international, who's made some phenomenol saves and won me 5-6 games so far. Well worth the 450k that I payed for him. And those dreaded free kicks at the end of the game- he's got most of them!


I'm aiming to eventually have the best players in the game at their positions, with super talented youngsters as their backup. Should be fun!

:laugh: i loved reading this, good shit

Greetings, very first post in this forum.

i've played PES 2006 and later 2010 on the PC. I always used the keyboard, so i also always felt that my portfolio of skills was a bit lacking. The few tries i had at playing on PES on a playstation were a bit disastrous. Anyway, with the coming of PES 2012, i decided to use a game controller (im using the PS3 controller, with the help of a nice little program) on the pc, so i am now relearning the game, sort of.

So i started a ML on amateur, to get the hang of it. I chose Benfica, the team I support, but using the PES team, with Ordaz and Ettori and the like. Like many of you I hired Palmieri and Shimizu, and also the GK Fatecha.

I used my budget to boost the staff up a notch, and also to investe on youth team.

This paid off by mid season, and in January I spotted a new addition to my youth team, a Belgian CF called Thijs, star player in the making (still only 56 overall). I brought him to the main team, along with Duffy, who proves to be a handy eclectic player used mainly as LB.

The first season was a resounding success, (and I must conclude I should not be playing on amateur… as I managed to not only win D2 but also the Portuguese Cup, but anyway). Ordaz was top scorer in D2, Shimizu was MVP.

With the new bulkier budget I decide to go shopping. I hired a French CB called Rane that has 80 overall (I later found he was a reborn player), I also make a proposal for Maxi Pereira, who is a free agent (having me disbanded the real Benfica…). Maxi is a human dynamo, 90 stamina, decent speed, 82 rating RB.

The second season starts with an even more competent staff, with the focus on developing all my young players. Having won the Cup, I have access to Europa League, where I somehow manage to play a match against Bordeaux Girondins…. Difficulty went up, but again amateur is not a challenge, so I win 99% of games (playing 5 minutes matches I don’t rack huge scores, though).

The mid of the second season comes and wow… Not only do I notice a 16 year old Guti available (reborn star player with 60 something overall) available on the targets, I also get several nice additions to my Youth Team, with about 5 or 6 new players around 70 overall ratings.

As far as player progression goes, it’s not hugely impressive. My overall team strength went up maybe 5 points in each area, but I can’t help notice that a good part of It came from the reinforcements. And those 80’s like Rane and Maxi managed to loose rating… although not dramatically.

So now, im seriously considering start again from scratch, this time on regular. I think the financial management went well and I will try to replicate it.
As far as controls go, I adjusted reasonably well to the new ways, but I’m not sure I have it configured properly in order to take advantage of things like on the fly tactics change, team mate control etc… will have to look further into it.

Sorry for the wall of text, but hey… it’s Master League, a lot goes into it. ☺

So it's just a randomize start condition from pes?

how do you guys get different players in your youth team - my youth team has remained the same or do you need to buy players from youth team so there is space for more youngsters?

ML is super fun: I enjoy every minute of it.. I do get frustrated and pissed off at the dumb lucky gameplays the AI makes but overall I think I'm improving in scoring, tactics, gameplay and DEFENSE! The first 2years were insane I couldn't do much with the team I had... always getting played by the AI, but thanks to those 2yrs of struggling I was able to get better in defending.. I'm still learning as I go.. I went from a ( OFF61 DEF58 TAC57 SPD69 TEC58 PHY67 ) to a ( OFF97 DEF93 TAC89 SPD87 TEC98 PHY91 ) in 3years!! Im half way done into my 3rd season and made huge signings F INZANGHI just joined my squad together with JEFFERSON FARFAN ( Peruvian international) I'm Peruvian so since my team sucks in real life I took it upon myself to create the ultimate PERUVIAN DREAM TEAM! Lol
here is my lineup:

GK. VARVODIC 81 - great goalkeeper
GK. J. SILVA 77 - great goalkeeper but on transfer list
GK. RUSTU 72 - bound to be a LEGEND only 17yr old

LMF. XECHINTO 63 - just keeping him around due to a sponsorship; MVP my 1st yr
RMF. WRIGHT PHILLIPS 76* - super stoked when I landed a deal with this legend 31yrs old.. he should retire soon I think
RMF. SHIMIZU - EXCELLENT YOUTH went from 77-90rating in 3yrs massive dribbling
AMF. GANSO 87 - because I couldn't afford neymar I had to go with GANSO! lol
AMF. T CUBILLAS 90 - CLASSICS PLAYERS, one of peru's finest soccer players of all time... A must have in your lineup, imo
AMF. ETTORI 72 - transfer list
AMF. MAQUALAO 70 - transfer list
LWF. CRISTIAN TELLO - CREATED PLAYER, plays for BARCELONA B.. I was doing some online research on youth players and I happen stumble on this young player: 20yr old with 78rating .. I recommend you guys google him .. he has done wonder and still developing
SS. KARLOZ 83* - CREATED PLAYERS, ME.. ME.. ME! yup like a PES tradition I had to create myself to lead my team into victory! LMAO started with a rating of 75
SS. FARFAN 78 - excellent kinda STUBBORN Peruvian international overall great speed demon
CF. RONALDO - I'm a big R9 fan and I just signed him at the beginning of my 3rd season.. @ 34yrs old he is doing pretty good 16goals and 3assists A LEGEND even though he's rating is only 82*
CF. F INZAGHI 79* - need I say more! Super stoked! I couldn't get DEL PIERO due to a shitty scout... So I made sure I upgraded my entire staff :)

IM SUPER JUICED for the other half of my 3rd season with F INZAGHI, I love ML and definitely loving the NEW MLO.. like most of you said.. the game is not perfect but I still enjoy playing it.. My GF hates it because all I do is play PES but she is the one that got me the game in the 1st place LMAO!!
...Although my team is good.. the game itself it's an EFFIN challenge I lost to MANCHESTER CITY just now... AGUERO kills it with his speed and tactics.. ROONEY is a beast and I just recently defeated Manchester united for the 1st time and C RONALDO runs laps around my defense LOL I haven't played BARCELONA yet but I'm anxious to..
sorry guys if I'm boring you with all this; but I'm super stoked on PES 12 and ML is one of my favorite features in the entire game. 1st time in the forum and I just wanted to share as much info as I can with all of you, I'm recently getting good at CREATING PLAYERS so I'll be sure to help any of you with any questions you might have.. I created faces for BALLESTEROS, ZAMBRANO, CRISTIAN TELLO ( if you guys are interested in creating this youth speed demon, let me know and I'll post the preset of his face, that I made )

well, got fired again 2day.. started my 4th master league...
and i am not sure i'll continue if i get fired again...


=====


LOL...me too. 4th time getting fired last night.

Though, my situation is slightly different from the rest of you. I'm a unique 'player'. I'm not actually playing the game, just simming them. AI vs AI. Been doing that for a year with this game, but PES 2012 has so far ruined that for me as they've clearly jacked up the destruction.

I used to be able to simulate AI vs AI on Top Player, and succeed. But now Top Player, Superstar, and Professional are all hopeless. My team made it to second season on Professional, twice, and i managed to buy a million dollar coach, goalie, and doctor. 90% of my players were happy and improving, and i still got fired.

Total BS.

With PES 2012 the losses in D2 just pour in. And your team always finishes last. So there is clearly a drastic change in programming from last year.

I think my best season I had about 5 wins and 10 draws on Professional. So I think it still might be possible to succeed on Professional. But with only 3.5 million to play with it's feels impossible.

I have a couple more strategies in mind before i give up on Professional. But I honestly can't believe i'm thinking about changing the setting again. To REGULAR.

LoL...Regular?

@Formaggio
Simulating a match is like not participating (even for the players, they develop less than they would if you played). So sooner or later, you will get fired! :/ The fact that you can't fulfill the manager's wishes ("let XYZ play", "no fouls",...) is probably another factor leading to your career-end.
