Unofficial - How are you doing in Master League?

[wooh]

Thrashed Chelsea 3-0.

Do it the Liverpool way and draw with bottom team Cardiff at home 1-1

Lose in the Europa League quarters to Hamburg away 2-0.

Then beat QPR 3-1 away. And just now I thrashed Hamburg 6-2 at home :O

Frustrating 1-1 draw at home with Wolves, it's Liverpool's home record replicated with the inability to finish chances against small teams.

Pressure really on now to catch Man Utd in 4th place, 3 points behind with Tottenham on level points with me. Arsenal out of sight in 3rd place, Chelsea 2nd way ahead of Arsenal and Man City probably clinched the title with their points margin.

 

[skjblades]

Where to start: About to begin 3rd season. Started with Birmingham (thanks Daymos) as I wanted a challenge. Promoted as champions first season, didnt score many goals but defensively sound, knocked out by Liverpool in FA Cup First Round. Ah well.

2nd season: Finished 8th (missed out on Europa League by 3 points, ah well). Cup Quater-Finals. Bizarre season, started ok, then had a very dodgy patch - losing to Man City (0-3), Chelsea (0-1) and Man United (0-2). Then went on a winning streak cuminating in beating Arsenal at the Emirates 2-1! After that weird results, great 3-0 win over Everton only to lose to Swansea and newly promoted Millwall!

3rd season, the push for Europe! Started with 2-0 over Villa. Next up, Man U! Team is:

Goalie: Myhill
Defence: Naylor, Ridgewell(cpt), Stearman, Spector
Midfield: Elliot, Atkinson, N'daw, Shimizu
Attack: Wood, Ibisevic
Bench: Doyle, Palmieri, Counago, Ibanez, Burke, A Rooney, Elio

 

[Rasmus]

cool good to hear he progress well and thats exactly what I'm doing with Shimizu, I was surprised to see how Martin had some decent skill cards at his age and the only reason he's on my team is because everyone else I went after said no lol

Try to sign Roux. He's 22 or 23 when you start a new league. French striker from brestois or what they're called. He was very easy to sign, and i think he appears on the list of targets almost everytime. He certainly did the job for me in division 2.

 

[charlie1983]

Was into my 3rd season after getting promoted with Coventry went to play it on Tuesday night and I get the yellow light of death am gutted bought a new ps3 slim yesterday and will just have to start again as I never backed it up.

Apologies for the lack of reporting about my ML. I've been hitting the books hard to get myself prepared for my G3 Geography exam on the 30th January, but now i'm on track, i'm gonna start playing my ML again. I am into my final UEFA Europa League group match, and with qualification and the group already secured, I will put out a youth team, with the hope of putting a few of my youths in the shop windown for a loan in January. The team will be something along the lines of

------------------Jones------------------------
-Flanagan---Coates-----Wilson-------Robinson--
-----------------Spearing----------------------
-Sterling--------Shelvey------------Bellamy-----
---------Amoo---------Kuyt--------------------

With either Kuyt or Bellamy captaining the side with experience. It will be interesting to see who I get in the Round of 32. Do PES imply the country protection rule where you can't draw anyone from the same country or the group you were in for the round of 32?

Same, I'm doing my G3 and my physics (P2) in January meaning a lot less playing time

Yeh it's about 4 years old tried fixing it twice with hair dryer but still won't work. Just glad all mlo stats are all ok and my bf3 stats. Looking forward to the challenge of starting again with default players

 

[mikemnoma]

To start with am a pes rookie but a
playstation expert but to be honest I
have taken long to adapt to pes
bearing in mind that this is my first pes
game. Well mine hasnt been patched
yet. I started out with the default players, regular mode obviously, n
they were totally whack. So I created
my own team with relatively good
players and joined the french division
2. My first 3 games were simply a walk
in the park winning convincingly 4-1, 3-0, 3-0 against Standard de liege,
besiktas and otelul galati respectively.
My 4th game was a hard fought 4-3
win against fc basel the winner
coming late in the game after coming
from behind several times. So that obviously meant I was top of the table
4pts clear. My fifth game was against
celtic which was 2nd in the table. Well
the game started off well, my team
conceded the first goal which was an
own goal but my equaliser came soon enough. Just before the break my
sloppy defending was punished and
maloney scored their 2nd goal. While
desperately trying to get back in the
game I conceded 2 comical own goals
consequently dumping my hopes of winning the game Today, 22:51

 

[Stu1983]

In 2nd season with Leeds United.

Finished 15th in Division 2 first season.

Into second season and lying around 10th after about 8 games. Drawing too many games and struggling to put teams away when I am 1-0 and dominating. I am hoping I can squeeze into the top 3 though seeing how I keep dropping points another year in Division 2 may be required.

My team is...

GK: Forde (Signed from Millwall)
DR: Craig (Signed from Millwall)
DC: Lees
DC: Bernardo (Some pony-tailed Colombian I found)
DL: Parker
MR: Shimizu
MC: Camacho
AM: Nunez
ML: Snodgrass (CPT)
FW: Somma
FW: McCormack

Subs - Lonergan (GK), Connolly, O'Brien, Howson, Feeney, Clayton, Forssell, Tyson, Oboyomi and a few others I can't remember off top of my head.

O'Dea is currently out for 37 weeks with an injury, he's usually my first choice left-back. Somma is my top scorer, banged in 10 last season, and scored 3 or 4 already this year.

I went for loads of players in the summer window. I needed a new Central Defender. O'Brien is good but getting on a bit an he refused a new contract. Thing is, he's not left and still at the club?! Anyway, Bernardo is a beast, albeit with a girls haircut. Already got on the end of a couple of attacking corners to score.

The 2 kiddies out the youth team, Shimizu and Camacho, are superb. Shimizu has it in his locker to destroy teams by himself but he's so up and down with his form that he doesn't play in half the games I need him too. Already have Fulham sniffing around him but he's on a 5 year-deal so not going anywhere. As for Camacho, first season he wasn't that clever. I chucked him into the fray and kind of forgot he was only 16. However, I stuck with him as I wasn't challenging for anything and he is developing into a great player. Superb first touch, creates himself time & space with the ball and his passing is becoming Xavi-esque - very neat and quick. He's also had a couple of almighty breaks from Midfield and scored/set-up a couple of great goals. Building any future team around these two players.

My Chairman is a muppet. Keeps telling me not to get booked. Played Birmingham and he said it then. I hate Birmingham and straight from the kick-off I had a player booked for a scathing tackle. Sod that card thing. He also keeps asking me to buy Japanese players. One of them was rated 77 and his salary was going to blow me into debt. Idiot.

I've tried to buy Sordell from Watford about 10 times but he never wants to leave. Also O'Donovan at Coventry as he's a tricky little bastard.

If I can keep Nunez fit and on form he'll be the key to me mounting a push for promotion though cos' Honduras seem to play 300 Internationals each season, I doubt it.

On the online mode I was down to 7 players the other days,things are not looking good

 

[DaiSCFC]

I've just finished my season on ML - I won the D1 League and the Europa League in the end! Lost to Chelsea in the semis of the England Cup.

I finished 6 points clear at the top and had a great run of fixtures and wins since my last post. I won against Arsenal at home and United away fairly comfortably - in fact I hammered Arsenal 7-1 and beat United 3-1. Perhaps it's time for me to move up to top player? My top striker, F. Rodriguez scored a crazy amount of goals - top of my head I can't remember, but it's certainly +50, 20+ in the Europa League and 30 odd in the English League.

Just starting my fifth(?) season and have a budget of 50 million. Great stuff! The doctors etc have all been promoted too - I think I actually prefer the financial manager being off in the ML.

Made a few signings - a GK, two CB, two LWF, a CMF and a CF, I've also got rid of some of the players who haven't quite done it for me the last few years. All my signings are now 80+ players, which is fantastic. Using the targets tool is the most effective way of getting cheap players who are quite good. I'd suggest listening to one of the posters above - there's no point wasting weeks trying to get players who just won't join.

Really enjoying the game now - this year's aim is the Champions League!

Haven't posted in a while, sorry. Christmas/work/puppy/college - it's been hectic.

I think I'm now a season and a half further than my last post.

In my fifth season, above, I won it all! Champions League, English League, English Cup. It was a fantastic season and I really recommend Ita (RB), F. Rodriguez (CF - Low rating, 77ish, but scores loads, great finisher) and Musa (RWF), they all stood out every game.

This season I've moved up to Superstar. It's difficult, but not as bad as I thought it would be. Probably because I've played so many games and have been able to build a great squad.

I lost in 3-1 to Barca in the Super Cup, they were much better than me. An indifferent start to the season - I brought it quite a few young players and got rid of the older lot. Bought Jovetic for 30 million. Big mistake. An AMF doesn't fit into my team, and he's slower than I hoped. I much prefer buying younger players and building them up - I should remember that! Otam has been a good signing, really cheap too at 4 million for a 88 rating CF!

I'm in March now, still in every competition, about 3 points off the top in 4th. It's harder than professional but I'm still winning most games. I'm dropping points in stupid situations e.g. Spurs at home, moving a CB rather than a CMF and the opposition passing straight through me. Small errors are punished, but they should be at Superstar level.

 

[kishores_bin]

My ML season progress..

My season is pretty up and down so far.

Started the season with the Spurs. Professional difficulty, Transfer activities to normal. Didn't sign any one and just brought Shizmu(RMF) from my youth team. Initially it went fine with me at 3rd spot after first 7-8 games with Arsenal leading, followed by Man city. Adabayor leading EPL goal scorers chart and Vandervat 2nd in Assists. As the season progressed, I could only manage to draw many games and I slipped to 7th spot now after some 20 odd games. Lost FA cup in 3rd round to Chelsea. Eliminated in Europa league in a tight table based on goals scored. Managed to handle Club boss instructions pretty well though it cost me a game or two. Adabayor's goal scoring touch is gone for a while now, he needs another striking partner. Defoe has done a decent job in every small opportunity he got, Pavlachenko is utter nonsense though he is rated higher than Defoe. Every game he started when I rested Adabayor, is a goal less or a 1 goal draw where is never scored. Also needed a backup for LB Ekotto as he is playing tirelessly everygame. Impressed with an LB with rating of 71, from some 2nd division team during an FA cup tie and offered him a contract immediately after that game.Jan transfer window is open now. He would be arriving soon. Sold King, Kranjcar and Pavlachenko to decent offers. Gave Palmeri CB from Youth team with rating of 66, 1st team contract as an investment for future. Entered the transfer market in search of a goal poacher, did my homework and bidded for several players with skill cards of either goal poacher or long ranger. Noteworthy among them are Torres, Forlan and Ganso, I guess as I have seen their loyality to their clubs low. After much speculation, Torres accepted to join. yippyy. Renewed the contracts of all my other players apart from Cudichhini. Happy with my transfer market spendings. Topping the table looks far away as there is pretty much around 14 point difference, but 3rd and fourth is a realistic goal as there is much difference. 1. Arsenal 2. Man City 3. Man United 4.Liverpol 5. Everton 6. New Castle . Noteworty one is Chelsea at 9th position. But I have seen that they managed to land in Xavi and Pato. So expect them to shoot up after the reinforcements.

One hell of a 2nd half season awaits me... :crymore:

 

[abu97]

On my 3rd season and this has been my worst master league to date.

On the start of the season, I had only 16,00 which was not enough to cover up for my players wages so I was forced to sell Hasan Kabze, Shimizu, Palmieri, Ettori, Van Den Berg, Ahmet and some more so I had to recruit players from my youth team with ratings of under 50. Play on professional difficulty, 15 minutes on -2 gamespeed. My team are so bloody poor and my stats are offense D, Defence E, Tactics E, Speed D, Technique E and physical D. I started the season on a high note winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 1 leaving me 3rd on that table. But then the tables turned and lost my next 3 matches leaving me in 8th position in D2 with little contention of making it to the premier league. The amount of cheap, or shall I say scripted, goals I let were unbelievable so I decided to train on tactics so my team work together effectively. My next match against the league leaders I was ready to kick some flesh so I started the game with nearly all of my star players including Ribeiro (64), Martin (66) and Irjescu who has a heck of a bullet shot! I played very offensive and I scored with Martin around the 20th min mark with a right foot curler from inside the box out of the goalkeepers reach. 1-0. Around the 30th min, they score from a counter with their first shot on target but I didn't let that bug me. Just after kick-off, I send a long ball forward which my big CF Ribeiro heads it on for Martin to volley near to where he scored from before. 2-1. Just before the half finishes, they score from a cross which their striker Gelivaise was covered with 3 of my defenders! Plain stupidity! 2-2. I then go on to the second half with a positive mentality and score 2 goals. 4-2. Then in the 75th min they score (cant memba how) so I decide to keep possession until the 88th minute where my defender passes it to my keeper who takes a massive touch which their striker intercept then score. Got so raged as I clearly deserved to win that match as I had the most everything! Was so frustrated, put it on beginner for 5 mins and won my next match 2-0. I didn't feel like I was cheating as I'm not gonna get fired just because the CPU score some ridiculous goals. Anyway, I'm not gonna play for a long time as I have 3 GCSE exams in my next 3 weeks

 

[kishores_bin]

Dude playing with a team under 50 ratings and that too against the table toppers and then resorting to ping pong between your CB and keeper, I understand it is an heart break when you concede a goal then. Believe me its not cheating, I had such issues with previous versions of PES and FIFA as well. The CPU attacker/s might have closed you down while you are concentrating on your ping pong passes. Hard luck, but I advice you to start a fresh campain leaving the shitty under 50 rated players as the game may become more frustrating than enjoyable if you dont take the on pitch action on your stride.. Gud Luck

Not sure if I should start again as I've started over 5 times and it'll just take too long with all the cutscenes and matches. I'll just play with those crappy players and I'll play each game and I won't care about the result as I just need merchandise fees and so far I dont even have sponsors! I'll just hope that I avoid the sacking and a wonderkid like my ex-player Shimizu turns up in my youth team

 

[metsuri69]

1st season Superstar, default players. Managed to replace some of my dudes with Free Agents here we are!

----------Kravets-------
-----Ribeiro-------------
------------------------
-------------Ettori------
--Draxler----------------
--------Jaric------------
------------------------
A.Sissoko----------Lala-
-----Schmidt-Palmieri---
---------Daniels--------

Notable subs: M. Gueye, Maqualao, Zarate, Duffy, Kooistra, Fatecha.

I sold Shimizu for profits (better to have pile of decent players than one good). I got no ideas on who are Kravets, Sissoko, Lala, but god do they seem to rock over my old crappies

I was THE LAST in D2 last season :tongue: playing with 2 friends on one side, so lots of confusion going on defence. But it's super cool I definitely recommend for everyone to try.

Finished 2nd in the league, 4 points behind United. Lost two back to back games vs. Liverpool and United, if I won both I'd have won it.

Won the Champions League, beating Inter 4-2 in the final. Got past Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Juventus en route so felt good to win it. Lost in the England cup, can't remember how or when.

Going to get rid of a few older players in the summer and sign some good young prospects (hopefully). Fingers crossed - on Superstar level I'm quite inconsistant and struggle when there are Internationals - think I need a bigger squad / stronger squad, or at least less International players!

I actually think I should listen to your advice because my only keeper kaschavski who has a rating of 57 is injured for a few weeks and now I have to put my defenders in goal like Daf who is just rated 14 in goals and they just keep on coming to your office because I'm playing them in goal so they're frustrated. I've only played one match with Daf in goals and unbelievably he kept a clean sheet as they had only 2 shots on target which were outside the box. Hopefully the same will happen in the next match

 

[kishores_bin]

My second half of the 1st season is going on with many hiccups. I some how managed to cling on to 5th spot the moment and the competition is very fierce. Every match effecting my position either up or down. Arsenal looking like run away winners this season as they stand good 12 points clear from others. My buying of Torres looks a disaster so far as he failed to either score or assist a single goal yet after say 8-9 games. Adabayor is injured and out for 3 weeks. Pavlachenko is utter non sense and even though he is transfer listed, no one picked him up rightfully. So after 28 games, My league table stays :

1. Arsenal
2. Man city
3. Liverpool
4. Man United
5. Tottenham
6. Chelsea
7. Everton
8. New Castle United

With points difference between the 2nd and 6th spot is around 4 points. Crucial ties ahead for me. Qualifying for Champions League is my motto now and having an heck of the season at the moment. Will post you the complete season high/low lights once I am done with my season.. Cheers..
