My BAL Story (ongoing) worth a read i hope...

thought i would write a little stroy about my ongoing "become a legend" game of PES09

DETAILS

background - i am a casual PES gamer, played most of the versions on and off, i mainly play once every couple of weeks when friends are round my house, ocasional online game, i have played a couple of BAL games, but only played a total of about one season, just to work out what sort of player and posistion i wanted to be before commiting long term to one player

i am by no means a great PES'er, so dont expect a england call up anytime soon!!

difficulty - Top player
game time - 15 min

name- Cox
posistion - CF
name - J Cox
height - 190
weight - 95
nationality - English
division - English England League

going for - target man, good height and weight average dribbling/pace/stamina, but good heading/strength/passing/longshots


GAME

****** INITIAL SCOUTED GAME ******

KICK OFF

4 mins - i manage to latch onto a GK mistake and tap in the rebound (wooohooo what a start) 1-0

13 mins - shocking defending by the COMP and a easy goal for them 1-1

18 mins - i get the ball 20 yards out 2 defenders coming at me, i panic a little and do a tiny chipped through ball of only 6-7 yards but the other CF manages to latch on and finish it cooly, (bit lucky there me thinks! but i will take it) 2-1

28 mins - another sloppy goal by my defence another simple goal 2-2

30 mins - good passing move from the kickoff wins us a corner, whipped in and header home by me (the target man idea was a good one, i wanted to be a threat at set pieces, am having the game of my life) 3-2

HALFTIME

(wow what a half, am really pleased with how i have started, and i was worried about the top player mode!!! but also note that the first game players are awful! so its easier to shine in this first game, i am a little tired after first half , stamina is a issue early on i know that but i also sprint WAYYYYYYYYYY too much)

SECOND HALF

51 mins - a good passing move from my team ended in my teammate slotting home a 4th ( i had one or two touches but was not really in volved much in the move, i like to think i drew away a few defenders!!) 4-2

65 mins - my teammate CF stole the ball on the half way line and me and him sprinted towards the keeper, i was hoping to tap in another rebound, but it went out for a corner, a good save from the keeper, the corner was whipped in close to goal and i rose highest to nod it home, clippeing the understand of the crossbar as it went in (this is my first hatrick on BAL mode and i have played about a season with various different players but only on regular difficulty, i am very happy, the best i have played against the COMP, i am hoping to get a offer from a good team now, hopefully top four prem!!) 5-2

****** FULL TIME ******

5-2 Win!

very happy with that game, best i have played, last 20 mins was quiet and i tried to help out the defence a bit more, my health bar dropped to 0 on about 85 mins (HENCEFORTH KNOW AS "LOST MY MOJO") so i was happy with my workrate and did not wear myself out to early, no yellow card thankfully, i do tend to dive in a little too much, lets look at the rating !!!!

7.0

well, not what i had hopped for, the rating generator is not the best in this game, but i was hoping for at least 7.5, oh well......

6 shots
5 on target

19 passes
15 complete

2 intercepts

Well lets see what offers i get

Offers

portsmouth
fulham
middlesbrough

i decided to go for middlesbrough, a ranking on 36 (highest of the three) and the thought of stuart downing whipping in those balls from the left was too tempting to turn down, and they dont have that many strikers so i should get a game, we should be aiming for a top half finish i think.

150 a week, damn minimum wage!! a outrage!

STRENGTHEN

Tech (kicking) - 2
Tech (dribbling - 2
Balance - 3
Power - 3
Speed - 1
Stamina - 1

the reason i went for this schedule is because balance and power both effect my jumping and heading, strengthening and temwork will be much improved, and general kicking power will receive a boost, the two area's that miss out and only have 1 are speed and stamina, the reasons being is that i dont intend for my player to be fast, he is more of a target man, i wont be sprinting past and breaking any offside traps anytime soon, stamina also just because lasting the 90 mins is not as important to me as learning the other basic skills. and i dont mind being subbed off whilst still young

the schedule will stay the same for a while, but i might take another look at it half way through the season, they are all subject to change, i might decide to change direction or just boost a particular stat for a while

stats in green (above 75) dribble speed, thats it! looks like i need some work or i will turn out to be the next Sean Dundee (the old liverpool fans will know who that is, lets just say he was Bad, and i mean BAAAAAD!)


Disclaimer ---- i am not training for optimum stats, i dont really care about that i just want to have fun with it and roleplay it a little and i am by no means a expect, so copy it at your own peril :)

thanks for reading if you got this far! i will post with future regular updates, please feel free to comment, even if you just want to let me know if your reading it so i know i am not talking to myself :)

my next post will be about my training games, i wont go into much detail about them other than the basic stats, and will post the games as before when they are first team games

thanks for reading

ps. any comments or suggestions welcome, please be civil

PART 2

note - i tend to play just 5 min training games, just to make it go a little quicker, then swap to 15 min when playing for the full team

TRAINING GAME 1

pretty quiet match ended 0-0. due to my skills being awful at the moment, i tried to play nice and simple football, simple passing and move stuff, trying to play it out to the wing and then move into the centre ready to win the cross that comes in, playing to my strengths

rating 6.0

TRAINING GAME 2

another quiet game, perhaps a couple more chances to either sides, i provided a couple of nice through balls to my teammate Mido but he wasted them, 0-0

rating 6.5

TRAINING GAME 3

the A team hit the post, alves played really wel, we did well too hold on, this game the gaffer changed the formation so i was playing a lone role up front, which i did not like, still i kept to my game and held the ball up bringing other players into the game, although i did get a yellow card for a late foul, and all three of my attempts were off target, and i gave the ball away cheaply a couple of time i have alot of work to do. 0-0

rating 5.0

TRAINING GAME 4

back to 442 with tuncay sanli playing alongside me up front, but another 0-0, i had one decent half chance from a cross, but mistimed the header and it went harmlessly to the GK, another yellow card for a stupid foul, i better be careful or i shall become the next joey barton.

rating 5.5

TRAINING GAME 5

back to 451 with me up top, 0-0 but the A Team should of won it easily, my GK played superbly to keep us in the game making 3 quality saves, MoM for Brad Jones! i played better this time making a few nice passes, and a couple of great sliding tackles, and no yellow card! the middlesbrough reserve team is awful and cant keep the ball, i am getting no good supply of passes and barely a threat upfront because of it

rating 6.5

TRAINING GAME 6

4-5-1 again, playing alone up front with the midfield really dropping off, i am so isolated, near on impossible to create many chances on my own.

the game was 0-0 again! hard to score in 5 mins for either side it seems, i played my best i have since joining middlesbrough, , 2 out of 2 shots on target , 8 out of 8 passes complete, 2 intercepts, good game

rating 7.0

TRAINING GAME 7


back to 442 alongside mido, shock! 0-0! we had the better of the passing this time, and had 3 or 4 half chances

rating 6.5

TRAINING GAME 8

2-0 WIN for the B team, i scored my first goal, walkers looping shot from the edge of the area beat the Keeper but hit the crossbar, i followed up to nod home the rebound, bottom corner, GET IN!, things only got better, as late on we caught them on the break, i ran down the left wing and slipped in a gorgeous through ball for Tuncay to put away in the bottom corner cooly

rating 7.5

TRAINING GAME 9

promotion to the A team! I PITY THE FOOLS IN THE B TEAM! (in Mr T voice) hoping to get a god supply of crosses from downing

442 upfront with mido , 1-0 LOSS, Emnes calmy chipped the onrushing keeper to make it 1-0 early and we never recovered, tuncay got booked for diving, idiot

rating 5.5

Damn Raf, talk about detail. Good luck on trying to make first team. Just try shooting on goal a few times to get your rating up. It doesn't matter if the keeper saves it, just shoot as many times as you can. Rating will increase drastically. And be sure play your spot!

PART 3

well so far the season has been pretty bad for middlesbrough, played 9 games

Won - 1
Drawn - 4
Lost - 4

Goals for - 8
Goals against 13

posistion - 17th in the league


a really poor start to the season, so i have been but in the first team for the first time!, starting on the bench, hoping to get a good 30 mins or so! playing west brom so we should be looking for a win

WEEK 10

Middlesbrough vs West Brom

1st half - very quiet, both teams have no cofidence and very few good players it seems, (bring me on boss, i am ready!!)

2nd half - i was a unused substitute, we drew 0-0, big problems creating chances but west brom were no better, still waiting for my chance!

WEEK 11

Tottenham vs Middlesbrough

on the bench again, hopefully i will get a chance

1st half - GOAL! downing scores a heading on the edge of the 6 yard box after a lovely cross from aliadiere,

2nd half - GOAL 1-1 Berbatov slots home a penalty after a stupid tackle by Riggot, 60 mins and i was bought off the bench to replace aliadiere, my first game!!!,

GOAL berbatov slots home a second after a good passing move, 2-1 down with 20 mins left to play.

GOAL 2-2 ball is passed to me on the wing and i whip in a left footer, o'neil is the to head it home from 6 yards, back in the game! and my first assist but only 2 mins left

FINAL SCORE 2-2

Rating - 7.0

very happy with how i played, did not see much of the ball but a assist and 2 interceptions helped my rating.

WEEK 12

Middlesbrough vs Man City

on the bench

1st half - GOAL - Hamman smacks one in from 18 yards, good goal! 35 mins gone, i am watching from the subs bench 0-1

2nd half - GOAL chipped through ball from downing and mido slots it home, 1-1

FINAL SCORE 1-1 Draw

i did not make a appearence but we played a bit better and not a bad result against a good man city team

WEEK 13

still on th bench

D1 Cup 2nd round, first leg, away to Man Utd! ack

1st half - GOAL 1-0 anderson with a simple finish after a defensive mix up

GOAL 43 mins, rooney wins a header from a corner

second half -

GOAL - 58 mins, Tevez slots one home after a 30 yard dribble to make it 3-0 (well there goes the cup this year)

i am bought on shortly afterwards for alves, 61 mins gone

FINAL SCORE 0-3

i got a bit of the ball, made some nice passes but no reall oppurtunities infron of goal

rating - 6.0

PART 4

WEEK 14

away to portsmouth, i was left on the bench again, we had a man sent off after 20 mins and a penalty given away, Utaka slotted it home to make it 1-0, well this season is going downhill fast for middlesbrough!, the 10 men lasted the rest of the game without conceeding and furthermore tuncay bagged a 89th minute equalizer from the edge of the box, 1-1 final score!
i did not get bought on :(

WEEK 15

away to blackburn, am on the bench again, early goal from mido, great diving header, 0-1!! were winning a game!!.... mido scores again, 20 mins, from 16 yeards out, bottom corner, good team goal, mido is scoring well now.... 60 mins and mido is bought off and on comes me!
mccarthy scored a late goal to make it 1-2, and thats the way it stayed, i played well enough tried to get a few shots on target

rating 6.5

(side note, my heading just went green, meaning it hit 75 which is good)

WEEK 16

home to west ham, on the becnh again, i hope i get another run out, Liverpool reject craig bellamy scores on the 8th minute, back to our normal losing ways it seems.... upson bagged a second goal for west ham late on, and a strangely familiar scoreline 0-2, i played like a headless chicken,

rating 5.0


so, 15th in the league, playing pretty badly, me personally, i have done ok with the amount of ball i have seen, i find myself dropping deeper and deeper just to win the ball back, middlesbrough are pretty shocking!, total playing time is 116 minutes, no goals and 1 assist

6.12 average

more to follow later on, questions, comments etc all welcome

any new updates, I was thinking of doing something like this as well. I wish there was a spot where you could find these. Almost like a blog area for people who want to do this on a regular basis.

Keep it coming. Maybe i'll start mine up. I'm 17 and playing for Anderlecht and real close to getting the starting spot for good (every other game so far)
