That one wouldn't bother me. In my BALs with 2010, I played for the biggest clubs in the world, but never got an offer from the club I support, which really frustrated me. I would've loved the chance to make my name and/or finish my career with Villa, trying to lead them to PES glory, and would've left Milan, United, and co in a heartbeat. Since offers are more or less random, I don't see a problem with just increasing the odds of being presented that opportunity.

I started out as an WF with 71 overall and 90+ in dribbling speed, accuracy, accelaration and agilty. Had a pretty good first season at lazio. My tactics so far are just running down the sides and cross the ball in front of goal for the strikers to head it in. I had 26 assists in my first season. Got a transfer to real madrid and now getting my occasional sub in the 60th minute. I have a question though: I cant seem to select the option to give my scout a team I want to play for. I can see the option but it's not highlighted so I cant select it.. Is this normal?

Wow, I wonder how you people do that.
I have created 6 BAL players, each with over 20 recreations, never I got a player with ratings over 59. They were all CF or SS players.
I tried speedster, all-rounder and that option where you see a running player in between three others standing his ground.
Do you people retry for an hour to get a one in a million player?

Anyway, I have had form going up to 8 so one of my players has never gone less than green in over 14 matches. Usually he's with an orange or red arrow on the field. Guess that compensates the low overall-rating.

No matter which player I play or how well I do...
I'm in the starting line up and am the first player to get off the field even when I'm still MVP and have plenty more stamina left than others on the field.

I can't use any options from my agent but I guess I'm misunderstanding something there.

Just found out that your weak foot acc/use can actually improve! Mine went from 6 to 7

I certainly didn't recreate more than a few times. I did find that you have to choose wisely to create a good player.

For instance: choosing the all rounder with a CF, than relogate the points to shooting and dribbling, plus 2 in power nets you with a CF around 75.
Choosing the dribbler with the WF and relogate the points to speed and dribbling, plus 2 in stamina, nets you with a WF around 70.
My WF has 8 in condition, but only 64 balance which makes him a bit weak. I just try to not avoid battles for the bal, my 94 dribbling helps with that

I'll take that into serious consideration and will have another fiddle with allocating the focus points right after selecting the role and type of player. I think I might have been too conservative by not allocating a sufficient amount of points to other attributes.
Will have another go at it tonight, thanks for the tip!

I played a whole season with my Overall 79(now 83) All-rounder CF. Scoring goals is a bit difficult though.

Those are some fantastic stats!!!
What difficulty are you playing on?

I see where you're coming from, but from the option (I haven't been able to use it myself yet) "My Desired Clubs" it seems you'll be able to do just what you've wanted to all along.

Yeah and this year your Agility can improve as well. Has anyone noticed form going up? Reading the help section in the agent's menu says that they affect your form. I'm hoping so because when I created my player the second time I didn't pay attention to form and now I'm not happy with it. It's only at 4.

Professional. I'm not scoring many goals simply because I'm bad at it xD.Hmm, maybe I should bring it down to regular.

I agree with the last three but "Play as an existing player" is funtastic.

I'm currently using Thomas Muller in Bayern Munich and BAL is actually a lot more fun, for some reason.

I always liked the mode, but I never really got that "hooked" feeling this year (like you could do the last two years). But I tried playing with an existing player and it is really fun.

Do you start with his current stats or as a 17 year old existing player?

Has anyone else been frustrated by managers bringing in completely crap players into the team? Like 28 yr olds with averages in the 50s or 60s? They were infiltrating my tottenham team so i moved to Ajax only to find their team with a good number of them too

Once the manager played a GK as a SB

It hasn't happened in my club, but I checked out Barcelona's transfers and they took in like 4 players in the 50-60s. Crazy!

After messing around with different players and positions I've finally created one thats work for me.

Name: Roberto (French)
Age:17 (AMF)
Club: Getafe
goals: 7
assist: 23

nearing the end of my first season for getafe. Got booked for diving in the spanish cup final against Real madrid, my second yellow card, can't believe it. I didn't even know you could dive in Pes. Lost the match 2-3.
