Play Master League with the Default Team ONLY!

[__S_i__]

Tried this some time ago using Man United. Can't remember exact details (it must have 2 months ago at least...) on 5*, autosave, cheat prevention etc.

I have to i was dissapointed. When i tried it on PES2 extreme it was bloody hard, but in PES3 i won both Div2 and Div1 at the first attempt. Have to say i got very lucky at times (scoring late goals etc) and had a shit cup run, but i won Division1 quite comfortably in the end. The default players seem better than they were in PES2

Arsenal with defaut team

Have tried defaut team 15 min per match five * no transfer, cheat prevention fratigue on.....using Arsenal. PES3

Win first place in division 2 and surprisingly, met west london blue(with Crespo, Mutu etc.)at the playoff stage. Another two teams are Nord and Old Firm blue. I lost to Nord in the first match, conceding a late goal making me mad and wanna give the TV screen a punch ^-^. Without any hope I just keep going and win Old firm blue by 3-0. Encountering Chealsea, I score an early goal, but as a draw cannot secure promotion, the rest of the match kept me stressed extremely. Late in the match, Crespo had a free chance but shoot it wide, then Castolo score another in the final minutes. I went crazy when the whistle blew as I know I can play the defaut team in the division 1. I was like a fool at that time if anyone of you can see my face then.

And conclusively, Castolo is good, especially in the Asenal shirt and white boot, giving me some feel like using Henry (except a bit shorter) Huylens is good and Barota is not bad as well, and sometimes I let Njogo have a go and his head and positioning is impressive;
In midfiled, Minanda control the midfield well and make many assists and good set pieces Additionally, I play using default formation, with Burchet play right and Xelemez left. But Edingson seems deliver better than X sometimes. As to DMF, Cellini did better than I expected, Iouga can play some matches when he is in good shape. Espima can play wing, and his shooting is powerful, scored several goals in that season. Macco is fast with agility, can fill in midfiled places when others are out. ;
Vonrander is a class defender and can score goals at corners, only at the bench when catching redcards or condition going 'white'. Stremer and Vanlely play my first team, with Dulic and another one play sub sometimes.
As to Goalkeeper, I preferred Kelson to Irarov, seems more consistent and reliable.
Maybe unfairly, I feel the rest of the guys, such as Harty and another two are not good enough, seldom have them a go, and even release one of them at the half of the season.

Hope anyone can enjoy the game!!

Great first post there hyiqiang

OK, I finished the first season. Played the second half of the season with 3-4-3.

I won the league in the penultimate match and also managed to win the cup final 1-0.
League: played 14, Won 9, Drawn 2, Lost 3 (obviously, I lost the match after I won the league, always seems to happen....).
Scored 18, conceded 10.
One yellow card, no reds.

In the playoffs with my team, Everton up against Auxerre, Blackburn and West Ham, the last 2 coming from Div 1.
First game I beat West Ham 1-0 with a sweetly taken goal after a good passing move. Should have scored more. Then Auxerre took an early lead. But I bounced back with 3 goals and one near the end of the second half to make it 4-1 to me. Blackburn also scored against me. I thought I was safely through due to my goal difference and the fact that Blackburn lost to Auxerre. But I didn't want to lose it.

Deep into injury time...... and this happens:
Click to see the Video.
(I'm Everton in the blue). Nice flick on header by Huygens for Castello to volley it in with power and precision! In your face!! So it finished 1-1 and I was top of the group.
That was my last goal of the season so it's a nice way to finish


Won the league and the cup. Promoted. Playing some pre-season friendly matches against AC Milan, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.... just for fun.

I went straight to the second half of preseason so inadvertently lost 2 of my players who want contracts renewed. So I'll be looking to buy them back if I can. Yay.
Division 1, here I come....

 

[MarkyP]

I forgot how well castello can hit them. nice goal Zyg!!

Who did you lose from contract renewals?

 

[Zygalski]

I lost Dulic and Nachdecal.
I too much prefer the PES2 names of the default ML crew.
Anyone got a list of all the names from PES2?

 

[SilvesterWong]

Zyg, u should set it back to NO TRANSFER.
Moreover, what are the results of your friendlies?

 

[bish1]

im having a proper go at this challenge

fatigue, transfers, cheat prevention save all on

really struggling after my 1st season, had to sell huylens, and ximelez to keep the club afloat

pos:7 W3 L8 D3

managed to lift myself off the foot of the table and salvage some pride by winning the last 2 games

most of the time im just getting edged out of the games by a single goal but getting better, i intend on challenging for promotion next season

 

[Zygalski]

bish, keep at it mate
Have a go with 3-4-3 diamond midfield formation. Works quite well.

Just finished my friendlies,
Everton 0 - 0 Bayern
Real Madrid 1 - 1 Everton
AC Milan 1 - 1 Everton

I went behind to both Madrid and Milan from headers and had to equalise towards the end of both matches. Satisfactory results?
I bought back one of my AWOL 'stars'... still after the other one.
I have to pay transfer fees of over 2100 for each of them! Well, it's not like I'll need the cash for anything else to it's OK.
Div 1 here we come....

 

[bish1]

good results

got off to a blinding start in season 2, 2 games, 2 wins, 2 goals

next game is against auxerre with the old enemy, djibril cisse (updated) who keeps sprinting his way to goal leaving me saying "wait for me"...i hate him so

 

[hyiqiang]

I lost Dulic and Nachdecal.
I too much prefer the PES2 names of the default ML crew.

What do u think of Nachdecal, Harty and another gollie? I seldom let them play and they seems quite lousy on the pitch. How do u use/place them?

by the way, never play pes2 before coz I just can buy my ps2 last year and the only game I have now is pes3

 

[Zygalski]

I seem to be using almost all of the default players, depending on player form arrows, stamina and fatigue. But I prefer to use the slightly better ones when possible.

First match of Div 1 -
Everton 4 - 0 Liverpool !!!

Edit:
And then Manchester City 0 - 2 Everton.

 

[Totti]

I did with PES UNITED in Euro Southern League

No transfer anti cheat and auto-save after the match

Division 2 Season 1

4 draws 0 losses
Won the cup and second in the play-offs, Benfica had a better goal ratio.

Division 1 Season 2 (Still running)

1 draw, 8 wins

 

[Daxiota]

Well I have to say that that didn't turn out as hard as I thought it would. I managed to win the 1st div. in my first season there using just the default players. I won the league by 7points with the following record:

P26 W14 D10 L2 PTS52 GF44 GA19

I even think that that record would have been better if I hadn't stopped concentrating in some games. I don't think this game'll hold my interest for another season and am considering bringing in 1 or 2 real players to spice things up a little. Although I might galvanise myself into trying to win the WEFA Championsip with the default squad...

 

[Zygalski]

Currently...

Everton P15 W11 D3 L1 F33 A8 36pts
Top of the league by 6 points.

Knocked out of the cup 2-1 by Liverpool. Scum!
Oh well, maybe next year.

Huygens is top scorer with 13 goals and Alan Smith and Crespo hot on his heels with 10 and 8. Huygens is also the top assist man with 6 while Castello has 5 and Butt has 5 too.

Used the transfer window to buy back the last player so I have my full squad again.
We'll see how it goes.

 

[Nifty1Pound50]

I'm off to start the challenge right now, going to set transfers on (but won't be buying anyone, maybe sell/lose players), auto-save, cheat-prevention, all the usual things. Hopefully I can sneak in two matches before the UEFA Cup game tonight.

 

[Zygalski]

How is it going Nifty?

I just finished my first season in Div1. I just managed to win the title in my final match of the season.

Everton P26 W17 D5 L4 GF52 GA20 GD+32 56points
Celtic P26 W16 D6 L4 GF40 GA20 GD+30 54 points
with the next few teams on 47,43, 41 points.

In the league:
Huygens scored 18 league goals and Castello had 10 assists.
Sutton and van Nistelrooy scored 14 and Petrov had 8 assists.

Man United beat Arsenal 2-1 in the FA Cup final.
Lyon beat Valencia 2-1 in the WEFA championships
Bayern Munich beat B. Dortmund 3-1 in the WEFA Masters Cup.

So Everton are now in the Champions League for next season and look to defend the premiership title. Still looking for their first FA Cup win. We'll see how it goes.

 

[bish bosh]

Nice one Zyg,

sounds like a wicked challenge !! Once I get my WE7-I patched I think I will embark on that one !!!!

Could you check your pm's please Zyg ?

cheers

Started the game with WE United, renamed Hornsey City (my local area, plus "City" as you can have it as a Callname). Gave them a nice black and white Adidas home kit and a stunning blue and navy Adidas away kit.

First two games of the season have been played - both times I took the lead within 2 minutes.

First a header from Ostwaut, followed up by a goal from Miranda, gave me a 2-0 lead early on against Monaco. The French side, favourites for promotion, pulled one back through Morientes after an hour, which set up a tense last half-hour, but I held on to record a first win of the season, "and at the first time of asking." According to Mr Brooking.

Hornsey City 2-1 AS Monaco

The second game of the season pitted my minnows against promotion candidates Racing Club de Lens - recently back from their summer holidays in Barbados. A strike-force of Moreira and Nigerian international John Utaka seemed to strong for Hornsey, but then the match kicked off.

With one minute and 51 seconds on the clock, Castello was in for his first of the season, pouncing on a rebound after Miranda had two efforts double-saved by the Itandje, Lens' international goalkeeper.

Then, on the stroke of half-time, Thomert grabbed one back for the French side, meaning a dejected-looking Hornsey side went in 1-1 at half-time, in a game they should have killed off a long time ago.

Cue the second half. A beautiful team move, saw Ximenez lay the ball off first-time on the half-volley to Huygens, who then turned Bouba Diop inside-out, and played a reverse-pass to Castello, cutting in from the left. The Brazilian's first touch was an excellent one, getting him clear of the last man, with only the 'keeper to beat. A well-taken volley into the top near corner gave Hornsey a 2-1 lead, and from there I never looked back. A subsequent own-goal, and a last-minute fourth goal from Ostwaut (his second of the season) saw me extend my winning streak to two matches, with a goal difference of 6-2.

Hornsey City 4-1 Racing Club de Lens

The Frenchies were not happy.

 

[Lami]

i did this challenge before but the only difference is the transfers, i kept it on and restricted myself to getting players with similar abilities only, i used the conditional search to get players with salaries of <350... it was quite interesting and challenging well i did it coz whenever i got bored of my team id still have the chance to have real players but still with similar abilites that was neat.. i think im doing it again but maybe with lower salary limit? wat u think Zyg? or anyone?

 

[Zygalski]

Sounds interesting Lami but this challenge here is only for the default players.
Some cheap players could be too good.

Question about transfers - when renegotiating contracts, is the value in the players box what he wants in order to stay? I've just reneotiated contracts for 12 of my players and they all wanted to be paid more. Not sure how much more I can keep increasing their salaries each season...
