Football was once the people’s sport. Nowadays, it is not.
Football was created to be a kind of simulation of war. People cheered for their home town’s club comprised of players from that same town, which on the pitch would “battle” the opponent and try to submit him to a defeat. Here’s the winning formula: take the passionate elements from war, such as territorial domination, eliminate the deadly element of it, then add spectacularity and there it is, the formula that made it the world’s most popular sport.
However, football was about to be completely corrupted.
2018. Modern football clubs have grown into multimillion-dollar businesses ran by people from all over the world who hire people from all over the world to manage players from all over the world and try to win against other clubs who are ran and represented from people from…all over the world. Fans still support these teams, but deep down they know what they’re watching is not so much a Team from City A vs Team from City B match, in fact it’s closer to a Coca-Cola vs Pepsi, or Apple vs Microsoft, and may the richest side win.
It’s heartless, passionless, and most of all, it’s meaningless for the fan who once supported his town’s club, whereas now he supports the business which has taken the club’s name to operate – leaving behind little or none of the identity the club formerly had. Don’t like it? Well, there’s many more like this out there for you to support. Choose your poison, choose your business.
This is not football. Football doesn’t belong to the oligarchs or the sheiks. Football is the game of the people, for the people. Football doesn’t belong to the corporations or businesses: it belongs to everywhere and anywhere; it doesn’t belong to the millionaire footballer, it belongs to the 5-year-old kid as much as to the 50 year-old, to both the professional football or the sunday league player. It tells the story of a place, of a group of people, of where you belong and matter; not the story of who makes more money selling players and signing sponsor deals.
Football is inclusive, not exclusive. It’s everyone’s.
What does any of this got to do with PES?
If football is the people’s sport, PES is the people’s football game. Unlike any other sports game, this franchise was built by developers, but maintained by the people playing it who created a culture of editing capable of rivaling with any other game in the history of gaming. They created patches, option files, kits, faces, banners, stadiums…whatever modification you can think of: they did it. Every contribution, even if small, helped enrich the experience of PES. Soon enough, everyone would realize it made you feel like you matter, that you’re part of something greater than yourself by being part of a community striving for to create the best football game.
Football – as it was meant to be played - is the people's sport.
PES - as the community helped shape - is the people's football game.
What we're going to do is to combine the idea of a whole new football world, taking the sport back to its roots, with the fantastic gameplay and community-made content of a classic, timeless PES game which just like football itself, will never go out of style.
We're proud to present the football world of AMADOR.
This thread is the spaceship that'll take you there, and soon will become your home on the planet.

I'd be happy to. Anyway he's the stats guru, so he's the man to explain it much better than me.
Seriously though it's been a work in progress back from when I made Norway Lge 2 and realised that the lower stats could be translated well with the right stats still being of a decent standard and I really enjoyed the game play and that it was different. In playing that and testing this (I've progressed a it further with refining the calculations) I've seen all manner of things happen, from superb goals, to awful misses, keepers dropping shots/crosses/corners but making world class saves as well, sliced kicks/headers, great and awful passes, good/bad control.
!
I'm not sure I've ever had that from an AI team that early in a game.
