Any information would be great!

I have heard that you can edit your league's in ML, eg: Make the La Liga with the liscensed Spanish Teams! There are two editable Divisions!!

 

[Lost seraphim]

well........when you first start off a new ML, you pick a team you want to use as before, and then you pick what league you want to be in, there are 4 leagues you can choose for Division 1, named A, B, C, & D. all the teams are randomly put into a league, so if you want to play against certain teams, look at each league carefully, if you don't like the way the teams are distributed, you can press X (cancel), choose your team and it'll randomly sort teams again. You are also given a random list of Div 2 teams as well, guess they have it sorted out which teams are weaker in the game.

you start off in Div 2 as always, you have league games and cups games, but this time, if you get into first or second you are automatically relegated, no more playoffs. Division 1 you also have league and cup games, I got 1st place my first season in Division 1 and the next year I got to play WEFA games, which comprises of top teams from other leagues, there doesn't seem to be a WEFA cup, you just play the top teams, not sure yet.

the new ML includes a calender, shows you when you'll play your matches, it looks like a calender of one month, but it actually is 1 year because the years change after the season, which I found odd. you can only change your player's numbers during the off-season which I find pretty annoying, but whatever, it's not that important. you cannot adjust fatigue or transfer settings, you must play with accumulated fatigue and other teams will always be able to do transfers.

now, the transfer system and points. You have the same basic options, buy, loan, and trade; same as before, pick the team, pick the player you want, and somehow it generates a transfer fee number depending on what you want to do. You also have to take note of which teams are available to choose, because if the team your favourite player is in is NOT in any of the four leagues, you must search for him, using the search function, and it he will be shown as not in a team so you can't trade for him, you have to buy him. There is also a free agent icon within the team selections, so getting players on free transfer is easier, I've seen Lampard and Mutu in there, as well as many other good players, so be sure to check it frequently. For the points system, this time you don't pay your salaries every week, instead it adds up the total salary points of your entire team and you have to pay it at the end of your off-season negotiations, so DON'T overspend in the offseason, trust me, I didn't know and I got game-over the first time I tried the ML 800 points for a win and 400 for a draw in Division 2 and 1000 win and 500 draw in Division 1, 40 points per goal

player improvements..........every player has their own little "learning curve", goes kinda like this /```\, young players are usually on the rising part, and older ones on the declining part, each game they play, their stats go up by a percentage of 1 point, so it may take a while for them to gain 1 point in certain skills, how fast they go up depends on where they are on the curve and how they do each game, older players' skills slowly decrease

what else........not sure, ask some questions

 

[JSatriani]

Thanks alot Lost Seraphim for that, also who would you say are the best GK, DF, MD, FWD'S in the game?

Is there a retirement system where older players' are phased out of the game?

 

[larsson]

yes, they come back after a few seasons as talents though

 

[Nturtle]

Crikey larsson...have you played so much already!?!? Ha ha!

Q - 1. Talent = Growth players as we know it on WE7 right?

2. ML - can you change leagues / groups at all?

Thanks Seraphim...very informative.

 

[larsson]

no I haven´t played so much, the player retirement system is known for weeks now

 

[netbulger]

Are the stats of players better than in PES3? Rooney for example in PES3 had low stats, but because you can't edit the stats in WE8 ML, are the stats of someone like Rooney, Kezman, Smith, etc. more up to date or do you have to build them up?

 

[bostero]

when the retired players come back as young talents, are they with another name or appeareance or they are the same?????

 

[MarioCarrillo]

No, they apear as prom. players but they are phsically the same

 

[Gun_Runner]

so if Zidane retired his name wouldnt be Zidane when he respawned ?
would he still have the dodgey hairdoe?

He would still be Zidane with his hair style and everything but he wouldn't be as good as when he left but he could grow back just like he did in the real life and continue to be the super star he is

lol, my WEFA ranking was about 16, and I had to trade Tevez and give about 20,000 points just for Adriano, he's been worth it so far though

 

[tiito]

wow thx for the info, i've been playing with my manchester and was so shocked to see v. nistelrooy's stats drop!! how many seasons have u done?

 

[Gun_Runner]

is there any point in a player retiring if another player is just gonna come back exactly like them(appearance wise)

Im AC Milan and the only players who's stats increase are Pirlo,Tomasson,Gattuso and Kaka?...........any thoughts on why no one else improves?

 

[tiito]

i think it has sumthing to do with the player's age, mentality, or mayb stability and conditioning...... just a guess

look at the other player's charts, they probably at their peak or declining, so you know, they're just at that time in their life where they can't get any better
