Also @Prankster I have started a “Master League Universe” in the ML thread. You might like to see how the AI plays in that. ;)

That's more my cup of tea alright.

I'll be following your matches so, partly to see what this AI's really made of and partly to serve as an unasked-for advisor :LOL:
(Hold on..…since you tagged me... I graciously accept your invitation and ahem the role of assistant manager)

Next match is 119. Slovenia v Arsenal





This will be the last match in the cup for a while, as I have been playing catch up with the uploads and now I am up to date. The last 8 matches were actually played on 26th March! :SHOCK:

Hopefully I will be meeting up with my bro in the next couple of weeks to finish off Round 1.

The fixtures coming up are:

120. g. ENGLAND v a. ATALANTA

121. g. TURKEY v a. SWITZERLAND

122. a. REIMS v g. CELTA DE VIGO

123. g. ISRAEL v a. MONTPELLIER

Then on to Round 2 :)

Just checking the scores between me (g) and my bro (a).

a - 61 wins / 139 goals / 16 penalty shoot outs
g - 58 wins / 153 goals / 13 penalty shoot outs

The 3 penalty shoot out wins is the difference :D

I need to win those next 4 matches :SNACK:

If England don't win we riot
 
Going back to PES 2008 and taking a break from editing WE 2008.
What a 1st half ! (max difficulty)

No goal.in 2nd half.
I'll try the Asia Cup of Nations next to play against the infamous hidden teams.

Currently playing an International Konami Cup with England against all the top rated nations. Just had an epic 6-5 aggregate win over Germany on Top Player.

I'm coming from PES 5 and 15 minute matches but wondering if 10 minute matches are the way to go in PES 2008 (PS2), due to way more speed and shots. What's the concensus?
 
@reinelt97 when I play against my brother it’s 10mins but against the CPU it’s 15mins. But I play with my adjusted file so a lot slower, as I mentioned before i don’t really like the normal faster pace, in fact I probably would not even play it. ;)

@geeeeee , you should try WE2008, it has a sligthly slower pace. Or even JLWE2008CC which is even slower.

I would try but just the fact that there has been so much of my time invested in this that if I try others it is only 1 or 2 matches.

I play default length too. Any more than 10 minutes default gives me an opportunity to score way too many goals. The default time is about right.

I am still not a pro at this so i look at it the other way, having only 10mins makes it easier for me to hang on to a lead, and also gives me more time to get a an equaliser so 15mins adds to the tension of holding on for a win. I also still get 0-0s on 15mins.

A good point, I didn't think of it like that. It's probably more that I don't have the patience to play any longer than default really 😄
 
An easy win for the 1/4 final :

Now serious things will come with Australia and probably South Korea.

FYI - I replayed this game (exhibition mode, also 5-star difficulty) on WE 2008, and I found it much easier. Just look at the stats :

1748512374215.png

Blue Samurais adventure ends with a PK session.
3-3 after the first 5 where I missed a ball match. Then it ended just before the GKs had to shoot. Tsuboi sent it on the post ...

During the game, their midfield outclassed mine.

In the end, South Korea took it home.

On a side note, here're the ML duplicate players.
They appear in both, ML default and also ML young :

Baumann
El Moubarki
Ettori
Gutierrez
Vanden Berg

They are only duplicated in PES 2008 Europe. In WE 2008 & PES 2008 USA, they are not in ML young anymore.

And another fun fact : hidden teams can have licenced players. Ex. Algeria.
