He's very good, but I decided to quit altogether eventually because this just isn't football to me. The only way to beat them seems to be to join them, or else play tons of coach mode to build up your squad so that you are unbeatable. Now though, every time I'm losing in coach mode they...

I'm glad someone had the nuts to say this. I've always facepalmed over the past few years when people complained about the "catch-up bug," and now we see the effect of it being removed (not that it was a bug IMO). Watching football matches it does happen that occasionally a really fast...

You can speak for yourself on this one. Just look at how many people are fed up with Van Der Mirch on these forums... Really, it's a real problem, and it's not just that one player, it's the entire game in terms of tactics and the kind of football it rewards. The fact that you used him...

Ya, I mean contract/salary. The fact that the value also goes up is another incentive as I see it. I really think the whole intention of this new contribution system was to make us shuffle our squads more, but since you can just sell a player and make money, then buy him back without the...

For me that means I'm done entirely. It is too hard for me to play offline after having grown to used to online. Plus I hear that the AI is a C-bomb too :erm:

Again, I'm not sure where I read it, but contribution was supposed to remain the same even after resigning. Trust me on this. It was obviously a mistake on Konami's part not to do it that way. Their intention with it was to make it so that you can't hold onto the same player forever. You...

I hear ya. I'm done with MLO this year. 9/10 games seem to be against people who play like idiots. This is the worst online PES yet IMO, as bad as 2012 was. Speed merchants are still a problem, and it takes zero skill and zero build up to be successful. In fact, the game seems to reward...

I highly highly doubt that. It is much more likely that Konami missed having the contribution reset. They said early (not sure where, maybe even in the manual) that contribution was NOT supposed to reset to zero after selling a player, so it seems clear that it's just a glitch. Perhaps they...

It does work actually, but not as much for my players (worth a fraction of your Messi). You should keep in mind however that if you keep a player for long enough for his return fee to go up, that you are also paying him more per contract in salary because of his contribution, so it's almost as...

But if you re-purchase him, and his price has increased, you pay the increased price, no?

Not really. I don't have a super team at all, and I too struggle against them, but what do you expect when they have ten times as much cash as I do? Some things you should know though are that apparently coach mode is easier to exploit this year because if your team is better on paper you get...

Good idea. Will switch my CAM ASAP. And yes, not pressing with two defenders was a huge improvement. I just played out a nil-nil draw! And against better opposition... I think I was closing space too quickly, trying to win the ball back right away instead of hanging back and staying in...

This might be a big help, though it seems to work well at times to press with two and I don't use it always. Also, yes, need to upgrade the GK. Currently using Sogrocan. Should get someone much better when I get the cash. Thanks again, hopefully your advice has been of use to others as well...

Well, this is different from Juve. It's actually five at the back because there are 2 SBs as well. Anyway, I'm willing to try anything if anyone has any other thoughts on how to combat this throughball to the speed merchants, and make the defence tighter all around. In general I find that...

I hear ya, but before I move away from focus on defending I'm going to experiment with a Sweeper a bit more, and possible three CBs and two SBs.

Well, it doesn't seem to be working that well for me so far... I have to try with sidebacks instead of four at the back first though before I give up. Four CBs leaves the wings way too exposed.

You can/will earn that transfer fee back at any time when you sell a player. Look at your squad list and toggle the bumper to see the transfer fee of all your players, then check the player in question. That's how much you will get for him when you sell him (if you sell him right now). Let's...

Are you sure rep affects the rating? If so, that's a good thing.

Thanks. Much appreciated. How about the actual level of your defensive line in the team formation screen. Are they mid way, near the mid way line, or back hanging out in their own 18 yard box? Also, do you use offside trap or man marking? Man marking seems to help, but not sure about...

You won't get more, it's just a waste of money to sell him without running his contract out. His 8 games are worth something, depending on how much he is worth. Perhaps one million of more. If you don't play him, it's like throwing that money out the window. What you get for him when you...
