How are you doing in Master League?

[Botafogo]

Just finished season 1 with Brescia, won it but gonna move up a difficulty level now.

The signing of players is really annoying me, this is the first PES I've played a while and I miss the old system. Especially when players move to teams worse than yours.

Only managed to get Osvaldo (FW) and Moretti (LB), gonna try and keep it as Italian as possible. Hopefully a couple of Candreva, Mesto, Modesto, Cigarini, D'Agostino and Foggia will be in soon.

I started my first ML with Bolton (as is tradition) on the 2nd hardest difficulty (as is also tradition), but changed to the highest diffuculty as it was too easy at first. I had adjusted some of the stats of the players like Holden, Mark Davies and Muamba... who are all criminally underrated on PES. Especially Muamba, who is a good holding midfielder in real life, just doesnt have any "PES favourable" attributes eg passing, shooting etc.
Anyway, i've mainly signed players on loan. Canales (who it would seem is a popular option), Kroos, Jordan Hendersen, C. Erkin (Turkish bloke) and Sturridge all signed on loan. Iarmolenko is the only player i've signed on a permanent.
Is it only me who finds it difficult to sign defenders? It was like that on the last game too.

I have started a ML with Ajax, simply because they have nice strips haha. After winning the Champions League and Copa Libertadores before I started, I unlocked unlimited funds for my ML, which gives you £9BILLION! I have signed G.Dos Santos from Spurs and Arda Turan for the wings. Seems pretty hard to sign players, even when you have loads of cash. I'm basically using this ML to see what kind of super team I can make, then start another without using the unlimited funds.

Ok I'm done with my first season in division 2 with WE United ML default squad now.

Finished 4th, 1 point below the 3rd place which allows me into division 1. Not a big deal, I will focus on winning division 2 next season, along with the cup, which should be doable, since I've changed pretty much my entire lineup.

Signed Kuyt, Grygera, P. Ferreira and Hazard at the winter transfer period. Which really helped my hopeless defence out a lot. Now at the summer transfer window I am looking for a new keeper and a new LB.

I gotta ad, Kuyt is an absolute bargain! 1 mill aprox. And he is a beast!. His dummy runner skill card will make him try and outrun the defence all the time, making for some killer through balls. He has really made my attacking play so much better, and his form and stamina is great!

Only just started my ML, first season with Liverpool. It's going well, released Hansen (GK) as he was not in any way, shape or form in my future plans. Brought some SMF from some club, sorry, can't be more specific atm. 2nd in the table after 3 games and have't played a domestic cup game or a Europa League game. In the next winter market, I want to buy a good LB as Insua is only rated about 75 on this game, and maybe a good back-up striker for Fernando Torres. And maybe a GK, i'm thinking Edwin Van Der Sar, but chances are i'll never get him!

Edit: Btw, how do the league cup and FA cup work in PES? Seeing as they only have the premier league for england??

[L3g0la5]

there is no league cup in PES. Only the FA cup.

Cheers, and how does that work? Because surely they can't have all the teams that would normally compete in the cup...

[Kiwin1908]

The teams from your league, and the teams from division 2 (I think) Will play in the cup.

Or it could be the teams from your league only.

[oooodz]

I started my Master League with the default team under Manchester United and set them off in the Premier League (English League..)

Signed Saha and Quagliarella straight off, signed Shimizu, Fatecha and Palmeri from the youth team and my first team is as follows:

--------Gutierrez---Quagliarella-----------
--Ximelez----Minanda-----Shimizu--------
-----------Matuzalem--------------------
--Ruskin--Palmieri--Stremer--El Moubarki--
---------------Fatecha------------------

Saha's useless for me... But Quagliarella is great, get him facing goal in a little bit of space and he'll score all day long. I'm 5th in the premier league but out of the FA Cup (Hit me on bad form..)

Cheers for all the other player suggestions, I may have to look into them!

[joopa]

I started the Master League couple days a go wit FC TPS and ofcourse Top player ( player stats manly at same level with HJK Helsinki) and i have edited championhip in the game and started ML in division 2 with 16 championships teams and HJK and TPS


I have played one season (skip couple league games because league went badly) i managed to win FA Cup because in semi-final ManU but shitty players on field and that made it easier but though finaly i won 2-1 in final i got Liverpool and i managed to won it 2-1 with amazing play by me

And in january i managed to buy Lukaku,Asenjo,Van der Wiel,Stoch,Mata on youyh team i pulled palmieri CB 18 81 and schimdt SW 17 70 after season i managed to buy Bale and Santon(thanks to home game just before negotiation window close i didnt go bankrupt) and i got Hyypiä CB 17 75 Luis Fabiano CF18 77 on youth team and now i have only 100k money left and new season only 2games played

[Aidan-lfc]

Just lost my second Europa League game, on 3 points now, play the leaders next game, thats going to be the turning point of whether I go through or not!

edit: Also, is there anyway to do contract extensions on this game, if so how? and is it that thing that says like '2/5' or '5/5' on their profile? Or do they not have contracts and just play for you until you sack them??

[e-man-25]

Im doing quite good. I created a badge and changed one of the fake team's names to create my own team then I got Shimizu and Palmieri from youth team. I got rid of a couple of players and sent Castolo, Ceciu and Valeny out on loan. I brought in Piatti, Eden Hazard, 2 strikers form fake teams and De Gea. So now Gutierrez and Ordaz are benchies.

I acually statred with the proper manutd squad i always do and will eventually make another with the defult players.

But right now i havent really achived anything finished 9th in my 1st season just basicly getting used to ML and in that time ive manged to get hargreaves to hate the club becuase i didnt play him.

Havent signed anyone yet but proably need to get a midfielder as scholes is retireing. and neville.

[Aidan-lfc]

Will start a new Master League when I get home, seeing as this was my first one and I didn't really know what I was doing, but first I will install a good OF onto my xbox

I recreated my Santa Cruz Breakers team and decided to create a fictional league of teams representing cities in Northern CA, Southern CA, and Hawaii. The Coastal Premier League is my D2 League and plays under Barclay's Premier. I've just begun the Master League since I spent about 5 hours finding logos to represent the teams and made basic edits to all teams to make it more realistic. The one thing that keeps me coming back to PES is the ability to DL option files and edit leagues and teams!

So far I am 0-1 losing to Huntington Beach (HB). HB scored a crazy long range almost bicycle kick... I don't remember ever seeing this kind of goal especially from such a distance! My only goal came in the 90+ and was a high slow loft kick that initially appeared to most likely go over the net, but instead come back down and land inside the lower left corner!

I'm still getting used to the "sticks" since I'm a old school d-pad guy... But loving every minute of the game!
