xbox live pes5 points & ranking explained?

[Tianz]

Anyone?

Questions:
1. How does it work? Is it points per goal and win, are the points different for different opponents (dependent on their ranking etc.)
2. How many divisions are there? (and what do they actually mean, how do you get upgraded/downgraded and how often - i read it updates every monday is this true?)
3. Are the divisions representative of the players ability or merely number of games played?
4. Has anyone found a link explaining the points and ranking system in detail?
5. Are there tournaments for example "international cup" where you take on other live players just as you would in single play mode? If so how do I find/create these.
6. If I am Ametuer, can I play anyone - or is it better to stick to your division as you will most likely meet similar level players? (ie. not get creamed 15-0!)

Many thanks in advance for explaining the points and ranking system - I finally got round to playing on xbox live for the first time last night. (Just wish I had done so a long time ago - it's brilliant!)

thx!

You win, you get points. You lose, you get points taken away. You tie, you split the points with your opponent. Most of the time its a set amount.

IN NO WAY does a record reflect a person's playing ability. I find that most people with great records score cheap ass goals and foul ALL THE TIME. I wouldnt get to deep into online PES5 as it's fundamentally flawed like all other online gaming.

Just do it for fun.

I play on the PS2 but I suppose the principal will be the same - do you get more points for more goals scored ? and are the points gained/lost related to the rank of your opponent and the teams involved ? If the latter is the case will consider not using the better teams.
