How to make master league better

[soheil89]

Give some suggestions of how master league could be better:
1. Inclusion of the champions league mode into master league. It would make it a lot more realistic.
2. More leagues and teams. I can't stand only playing with 4 leagues. There should be atleast 8 leagues in master league and leagues like england and spain should also have a top league and a second league.
3. Have a realistic currency. I hate buying players for 10000 or 20000 points. Have like a dollar, euro or pound currency.
4. Add a training session. I love the football manager games and one thing that makes the game really awesome is being able to make a training schedule and being able to hire coaches based on your needs. They should apply this to master league. Be able to hire coaches who have different coaching skills like shooting, defending, goalkeeper and etc. This way players will get better in training and games. It would especially help with younger players who dont get a lot of playing time.
5. Be able to change teams. One thing that is really good in the manager mode of fifa is that you can choose to re-sign with your team at the end of the season or choose to move to another team based on your performance as a manager.

Moved to 2010 discussions, seeing as the ML isn't going to be improved for the 2009 edition of the game.

My bad i meant to put it in the 2010 discussion

Like your first point about having the Champions League incorporated, Would be good if the Europa Liga licence (which I heard they have now) was there as well. On top of this I think a 2 player function woud be awesome, but only if I can play as my mates opponents, otherwise some sort of feature which allows Masterleague to be interactive as an online function, rather than the current online setup. Obviously improvements need made to the online setup to enable this. One more neat addition would be a reserve team, or reserve league which runs similtaniously, with the option to play these games or not.

one more addition that i think would make the master league better would be an option to simulate games. Sometimes when i have played 5 or more season it gets boring to play some really bad teams again and again so being able to simulate the games would be a great addition.

An addition that I have is that it would be good if the trainer would get offers from other clubs as well. Sensible World Of Soccer (SWOS) already supported that and it would be good if the Master League would support this as well.. Sometimes it just gets boring to stick with the same team for 10 seasons in a row..

I'd like:
- The second division to be made up of Championship sides/ Serie B sides etc.
- The Div 1 cup to include the teams from Div 2 (Hardly a lot to ask!).
- Official Champions League and Uefa Cup to be in the Masters league.
- More grounds, better chants from crowd and much louder cheer for goals!!
- Start in a small ground and have option to expand stadium if you're successful.
- Be able to have a reserve/youth team to improve your young players.
- Have unhappy players put in transfer requests, have other teams upset your players morale if they want to sign them etc.
- Have to deal with the Chairman and the boards requests every now and again.
- Get offers from other clubs and national side if you're successful, but ALWAYS have choice to stay at your chosen club!

I think all the above points are very easily doable for Konami. They really should have been implemented years ago!!

-They have said that they are using the CL license to much greater affect this year so its like 99% going to be in the ML.

- I would like a return to only having 16 teams in a league. There are too many fixtures but would like more leagues

- Youth team for every club

- Club facilities

- Ability to train your team every week

- Take your ML team online with the stats they currently have instead of using bloody default stats

KONAMI have announced this. The ML is, apparently, is going to be completely different.

Yh would be a decent option but you should only be able to simulate 3-5 matches a season to stop people just siming the entire season. It does get tempting in fifa to just skip all the matches you cba to play.

I'd like if

A) Spurs weren't the best team on the planet.

B) Earnings for games / winning actually varies. How can you earn the same from winning an away match to some lowly league club as winning a the final of the European cup?

C) Spurs didn't play like the best team ever.

D) The best players actually had the stats of the best players

E) Did I mention that Spurs seem to be the most difficult team to play against? Sorry, but D Bent is just not THAT good.

F) They get rid of the stupid scripting that makes you lose / draw to rubbish team, by making your 'keeper forget how to use his hands, suddenly turn some crap forward into a cross between Adriano & Messi, and actually allowed some of your shots NOT hit the post etc

G) Make Spurs not the best team ever.

It would seem somebody has had a bad experience whilst playing against spurs

 

[DublinGunner]

Maybe....... not once, but twice - in Euro Champ group, after defeating R Madrid in league, and twice in Euro group, and defeating Barca in league, and league cup - but can't buy a win againt spurs, 3-3 then 2-2, its a joke.

 

[StringerBell]

I don't know if anyone has said this but how about making the master league playable for 2 people?

 

[hoober]

Think some of my ideas are mentioned by other people, so i'll just post whatever i think of.

I think ML should give experience points to players on international duty, and higher than normal because they are playing and training with the best in their country. Just hate it when I have a big game coming up, as well as a cup game on that week, a few of my best players are called to the national team, and got back tired as well, and gained nothing.

Referees... Make them to get the right decision. It's so frustrating when you're given a red card for a tackle, which a yellow card is more than suffice. Plus, they always give a foul anyway even if you got the ball from a sliding tackle.

Automatic tackles as well. Sometimes the AI helped you to make sliding tackles which resulted in a red card, and a freekick on the edge of the box, which is needless to say what comes next from the free kick.

if master league could be incorportated to online play and make online leagues that would make me play the master league,

Structure
Basically, create your own. I'm talking Leagues - eight minimum with two divisions and promotion/relegation criteria. International qualification rounds with specific calendars. Cups both domestic and inter-league with fully customisable structures (group stage or straight knockout, number of groups and teams per group with draw restriction criteria, number of fixtures between teams, number of legs, away goal and extra time options, etc.) and Super Cups for both - qualification criteria (champions qualifying for one, runners up for another), prestige ranking, player registration and pre-set final stadia. I'd like to see an option in Edit mode for customizing your own trophy; colour, size, shape, engraving, patterns, logo, etc.

Awards
I like what they have so far, awards tailored to specific competitions, Golden Boot, but a few more to add would be World Footballer & Young Footballer of the Year. A domestic MVP & MVYP, personal awards you yourself can choose like your club's Footballer & Young Footballer of the Year as well as those tailored to positions. I'd also like to see a trophy cabinet for players as well as clubs including awards won at other clubs.

Development
Core stats like speed, strength, balance, dribbling and shot power should be set in stone with very little development, if any. Lionel Messi isn't gonna get any faster or much stronger between now and 28. Special talent stats should be applied, seperating those who are specifically adept at passing or dribbling or shooting. Failing that, I'd like to pick and choose which stats develop to what degree. Failing that I'd like to see experience points introduced so I could directly pick and choose how to assign them. Also, I'd like training to be compulsory (with an option to skip) and I'd like the the regimen to be player specific. Also, scouting and youth development, they go hand in hand. Why go out and buy the next big thing when I can refine my infrastructure and develop him myself?

More when I think of more and when I can be bothered...

Very nice suggestions , one question tho , why couldn't Messi get stronger from now to 28?
