Time for a change Konami and it really is time to listen
Now listen I know the ml has been with us for some years now - it's been great purchasing players, building up your team, getting your team promoted, working hard to buy your first legit player, playing with the likes of Da Silva, Ragnotti, Castello/Castoro, Volander Etc, the joy of getting promoted, the heartbreak of losing out on promotion, winning cups and leagues so you can splash out on Roberto Carlos (yep we've all been there) and even in these past couple of releases you can play as an original team which is great no doubt. It was a good idea by Konami - but now it’s time for a change.
What I’m saying is ml should be completely scrapped yes I did say scrapped, got rid off, thrown in the rubbish - I’m sorry there's a certain excitement that us pro evo players crave - I’m talking about hardcore football fans who want everything replicated as in real life not some shoddy unrealistic leagues - we want real football.
Now what I’m about to say may shock some of you but it's been a long time coming imvho.
The ml is a joke - Do Konami think that we're really satisfied with a couple of 'improvements' in the ml - I tell you what's wrong with the current system from start to finish.
The Leagues
1) For a start Division 2 - 8 teams, division 1 -16 teams - if you're gonna do a league Konami then at least have the correct amount of teams in it - 20 teams. And Maybe a sub division with 8 - 12 teams (because I know it's asking alot to have 20 top tier and 20 second tier teams). I mean big division 1 teams like reading, sheff utd, Leeds is in there.
2) Wefa championship the champions league Ok so you’ve just won the league with your team ,let’s take Spurs for example, and you’re all set to go in the Champions league next season, the draw is made and you’re sitting there to see whose group you’re in ‘could it be Porto, Villareal or even a super power full team like Juventus but no whose in you’re group. Arsenal who you played 4 times last season twice in the league, twice in the cup, Aston Villa and Chelsea – Yea - great champions league when it’s all English teams Ok you get over this and realise you’re be playing European teams if you get through to the knock-out stages. You play the first game…….. In the daytime! In a half empty stadium
A bit of variety Konami – bit of choice, keep it exciting ffs. Why not replicate the full champions league meaning preliminary rounds, group stages, knock out stages all the way to the final, and just change the name because off all the license bs.
The Transfer Policy
1) The whole transfer policy needs to be replaced if you ask me and the one thing that stands out is that when you bid for a player and it’s been rejected you’re not a given a reason, so you don’t know whether it’s the player wages, the contract or the transfer fee. How many times have I bidded for Adriano to only see rejected and I’d like to know why – is my team not big enough, am I not offering enough money What is it?….
2) Real Money! Any danger Konami - or at least Euros so we can work out a players price tag. Whose fed up of pts "Ronaldinho is worth 1267 pts and his YEARLY salary is 1142" No he's not!!, YEARLY let's be realistic now I’d rather see Ronaldinho £65m WEEKLY salary £95,000 or something like that, a bit of research on player values and wages would be great.
3) I don’t know if this applies to everyone but I play on 6* so I don’t know if the conditions are different but when I put players on the transfer list I don’t get teams coming in for them what is the point? Same for loans I’ve had many youngsters the Orreano’s/Soler’s etc but they can’t get into the 1st team due to better players in from of them. I want them to go and get some experience and come back a better player but no I’m waiting for offers (which they should be available for the whole season not just the end)
4) Realistic transfers from the cpu teams – Come on I hate this I really do. I remember on one ml I was playing with Valencia, AC Milan decided to buy Dean Marney and he played against me Needless to say he played pants. On another one Real Madrid bought Robbie Savage (I’m not lying) AS IF that would happen and it takes away the realistic feel of the game. I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve lined up with my Barca team ready to take on Real Madrid when someone’s in their starting line up who shouldn’t be there.
5) Funds – you can start with 5000, 8000, 12000, 30000 pts……… What complete crap! Get Rid - Real money is the key, how about if you’re a team like Lazio – they’re bankrupt so they don’t have much funds – something like £3m - £5m per season or like chelsea who have a unlimited resources they’ll start with £130m something simple like that – all it needs is a bit of research.
6) Player contracts – I don’t see why we can’t renew them when they’re halfway through it or when you want to tie them down for a mega deal – But we have to wait until their contract runs down
Master League in general
1) Players need to get unhappy if they don’t play. In a season I had words class players sitting on the bench. Ronaldo only managed to play about 10 games – do you think he’ll stand for that – come on, at then end of the season he was begging for a new contract because his contract was in it’s last year so I gave him 10 more pts and he was happy. Yea real realistic Konami.
2) The fatigue system is quite a good idea but it’s flawed Why Keepers get tired I’ll never know because they don’t do anything – High stamina players like Gatuso and Lampard get tired once in a while – like this would happen in real life. Players with low stamina obviously need resting but not every 3 games – it’s a joke.
3) The whole training system need a revamp – The regulate condition need not be there (Imo arrows need to be replace by a player morale/confidence stat). At the end of the season you can either play friendly matches or train your team – why not both? One thing I do like atm is the fact that you can give players personal training but why can’t we do that throughout the season? I would love for this to happen – Players should pick up injuries in training as well.
4) National squad call ups *evil stare at konami* Whoever put this in TAKE IT OUT I beg you it’s just silly, which European country plays during the season (unless you have an international break) when they come back, they’re mashed and you have to wait about 2-3 games until they’re fit again
5) The point Ranking system needs to be changed Because 1) the match ratings are wrong so it’s never gonna be correct and they need to have rating for each league, then have ratings for Europe and so on.
5) I like the idea of players retiring but per...lease why do they appear next season as a 17 year old. At least change their name - This needs to be sorted, I don't mind new players coming through but no regens.
6) Get rid of ledgens I can't stand the idea of Pele and Best running rings around Rio Ferdinand - they have no place in th eml
7) Lastly the vastly over-rated and unrealistic experience points system. Firstly it’s been improved no from last year (Thankfully) but there are still areas of work they need to concentrate on.
You get more experience points playing in the league than the Champions league and the Cup. IMO you should only get a small amount of exp. points when you play in the league games and get bigger points in the cup semi-finals and Finals and in the Champions League – certainly against the bigger teams
When you get exp. points only certain stats go up – why doesn’t the weak foot acc/freq. change or consistency/condition change depending on how they’ve been playing what about their injury setting – why can’t this increase and decrease depending on how many times they’ve been injured through the season. Why can’s they gain special abilities – If you train a player enough in training to break the offside trap then depending on his exp points he would have lines etc. Countless possibilities
We need a proper season, proper meaning premiership, la liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, bundesliga etc to coincide with eachother. Proper meaning if you're playing premiership 20 teams, 38 games, F.A cup and Carling cup included same with la liga - 20 teams, 38 games copa Del Rey. Then we have the Champions League, UEFA cup, Intertoto cup, super cup etc as in real life. I think they need to follow the example of Championship manager now that would be cool
Now I’ll probably get flamed for this some may agree with me and some may not but it had to be said
*Awaits go and play F*fa responses*
