Yo Rockstro! This my friend is called "adaptive AI". The AI does not adapt your playstyle and your patterns. It just handicaps you as much % as it is programmed to give "suspense" to the ML ,according to KONAMI's logic always.
I made an "experiment" the last 2 days. I was playing ToPplayer ML in PES League edited in my Mediterranean League,turkish, greek teams etc. After 2 seasons where i finished 3rd and 2nd respectively, i was pissed off with the Team owner and decided to change club.Paris SG proposed me, but i requested and went to PARIS FC Ligue 2. Paris FC was last in the season table (20th).
So in my first season (third totally in ML) in Ligue 2, as i am not from France, i could not recognize or memorize and even spell some teams,like Chamois Niortais, Bourg en Bresse. All teams in Ligue 2 are about 2 stars OVR and the best teams are Valenciennes,Lens and Nancy 2,5 stars. Until now ,i'm in February 2020, i'm first with 2 points difference from 2nd and 3rd. I have seen through season many types of games. 2-3 normal, 2-3 hard scripted. For example when i was 3rd i played with Lens who was first and undefeated. For some reason script-switch was forgotten "off" and i won them 8-1! After i climbed to the top (1st position) i started to have some bad results and the most epic is that the last 3 games, after transfer window was closed, the game is tracking me by all manners. It has been 3 consecutive games that i was winning 2-0 until 75', the most recent with the last team of the table Havre FC, and after 75' i conceded two goals hands down to a final 2-2. The fact is that the 2nd and 3rd teams of the League got also draws, so the game keeps them tracking me in point blank -2 points difference. It impresses me cause as i said before i do not know the Ligue 2 teams so every time i play a match like this i go and check their league position and their squad stats only to find that it was a mediocre league 2 star team below the 10th position.
As i said, it is like an experiment, because i do not know the teams and their stats don't seem to matter or simulated in the pitch. When i was playing in PES league and lost to Galatasaray 3-0 i told my self "ok they are Galata" ,when i lost to AEK i thought "Ok it is AEK, good players this year". In League 2 as most teams are unknowns after these matches, i tell myself "this should be Ligue 2's Barcelona" only to find that it was the 16th team of League table that achieved 12 goals in 19 matches and 3 against me in 15 minutes! But after all these months of trials and debates about scripting, i feel so tired to make new experiments, so i decided i will try to live with it. Good (sometimes) or bad (most times)!
