I started a MLO team back in Dec 2011 when I bought the game so I know I was behind in terms of the mode and the fact I didnt play the game for about 3 months because I realised it was a pile of w**k most games didn't help either but I started to play MLO recently and Ive got some feedback.
This game makes no attempt to help you when you start that mode, I played MLO last year and had a somewhat decent team with most 75+ players in my team but this year its so hard to even get a foot up in the game. The contract are realistic but annoying considering your trying not to get hammered every game with the useless starter players only for contracts to start running out so you can keep improving the squad.
Why is it Konami are turning PES into a FIFA imitation to please critics, why not listen to the fans who buy the game?
I've bought a couple of 70+ players and they seem to hold their own against the high 80's and 90's that most people seem to have but then I concede goals because of ruskin or dodo.
1) Please fix the starting team. Either give us £30mill to start with (random amount) so we can construct our own start team like a fantasy football team or make the starting group of players all 70's, because most of the players get raped by a wigan standard player from the other team.
2) Improve money and contracts. Introduce some sort of a raffle or preferably packs like in UT. With the raffle you could give away players, money or contracts to players in a certain rating and squad rating boundary every week or even every competition. Im getting the hang of it but atm its too hard trying to manage contracts whilst signing 1 player at a time due to financial constraints. I mean you could put players and contracts in a pack like UT with a bronze pack of 5 contracts and 5 60 - 75 rated players at £10 mill for example. This is a sum that is fair and reachable within a decent amount of time because you can only get about 4 75 rated players with 10 mill but then theirs you teams contracts as well.
3) Stop the FIFA imitation or step it up against them. I understand that konami want to be realistic, and I know I started late but why keep pairing me with people with monster squads. In FIFA, my friends tell, you get matched by squad strength yet is MLO you are linked by ranking so most games I take on somebody crap and I pass it around them but eventually their quicker players outlast my slow and weak as s**t starter players. So then I keep falling down the rankings even though I arguably played better given the squad ratings and that they only really take the lead late on or by a scripted goal where dodo or sum1 else whos s**t gives it away with a heavy touch. Scripting doesnt happen much but Im experienced enough to realise to open the body and find the open man with the passer only for the receiver to send it 5 yards to the oppo. If I was matched to someone with an equal squad I know it would be much fairer because how with dodo, ruskin and jaric am I supposed to keep ronaldo, lavezzi or according to my last game bendtner at bay for 90 mins. Don't do a star rating rather match it by the avg, min and max player ratings because I took on one guy who had most of the same starter players as me but he had knight, sulimanj, bendtner and eriksen and ripped through me with them. My highest rated guy is about 72 and my lowest is about 64, It's just naturally fairer to be paired with someone who has the same avg, min and max value of player rating as me rather than someone next to me in terms of ratings.
Like I said before packs would be better than the current system and the only thing that edges it for UT is the fact they have packs and single player sales whereas MLO has only single player sales.
I hope that sounds constructive because it wasn't meant to sound in a derogatory light of the mode. I feel MLO is making up for the games lacking in the past 2 years.
