hey guys, ive just started BAL recently, completed a season with NAC Breda. I started out as a DMF but i really want to play CMF or AMF, is there anyway i can change that?

And also what is the scout system? i dont get that...
 
Junka, u look a bit like Nuno Gomes, m8....:D

I still can't take a proper pic for BAL with my crappy camera.....
need to borrow a better cam...:S
 
Mansouri still a bench player with Grenoble who are on another lossing streak and still last in the league...

Somehow (when i wasn't on the bench), they scraped through the group stage in the "UEFA Cup". Mansouri played both legs against Fulham: 0-0 in London and 1-0 in Grenoble with Mansouri once again giving the decisive assist...in this match he got his best rating: 8/10.

Next was the match against Monaco and to his astonishment Bazdarevic put him once again on the bench...he came on the pitch after 75 minutes when al was last for Grenoble, they were 3-0 down...pretty frustrating, but a nice touch in the game...the young player who's doing well but scarcely gets a chance and comes on the pitch when all is lost...somehow this rather suits me. I don't want an all-conquering carreer (well maybe Mansouri simply isn't good enough...)
 
I'm having a great year at Napoli. 15 goals so far and we're only in February.

Denis and Lavezzi were the first choice when I arrived but me and a lad called Zalayeta were causing a storm in the reserves and once we got the nod, there was no way back for the old pairing.

Needless to say, Napoli are a much better team and the service has been excellent so far. Even when I'm not on the pitch they are putting some great moves together. However, we're fifth in the table and got slapped around by Juventus in the Euro Masters cup - the Manager will have to spend big in the summer or I may have to leave if I want to win big pots.

I've been called up for England (and scored 1) but I'm not really that bothered by the internationals - I might retire from those.

Also, even though my player is knackered he keeps getting picked. I've literally had to slide tackle the opposition trying to get red or yellow cards just to earn him a weeks rest. Something they need to improve I think.

I'm still at Napoli. :))

Play ACM of a 3 with Dalla Bonna and feed Lavezzi to get the goals - he is awesome and when I start a ML I'll be hunting him down. Zayaleta is also good (and captain).

I'm still a bit out of form, although I did score my first ever goal (ever in BAL!:LOL:) on Saturday - 1-2 with Lavezzi and I went clean through and just spanked it as hard as I could!

The match after was superb - against one of my old clubs - we won 3-0 and I assisted for 2 - one was a lovely dinked cross (using R2) - picked out Lavezzi to head home his 2nd.
 
Thinking about it, I might actually kill this 'BAL' now before I get too attached (already far too late!).

I haven't loaded any option files because I'm waiting for this November update, so no La Liga or Bundesliga (or other Europeans) at the moment.

HELP!
 
Lol guys I still don't know how to put an Option File or patch on my Xbox 360 ... Also it says something weird when I try to load a photo for my head ... Anyone help ?
 
update:
i left totenham. we were playing great, won the champions but i was playing as a cm while my position is ss or cf. so i left. was hoping to go to serie A but no contract offered. I got a few nice contracts but they asked for me to play as a cm or amf so i decline. Since i got nothing that i liked i was going to stay in totenham but i got a contract offered by man united. they asked for cm and amf so i was hesitant in leaving london for manchester. i went to check who they were playing in midfield, to see if i could hold my own and i saw that rooney wasnt in the team so i took a chance, hoping to play in his position. after 2 trainings (in wich i scored 2 goals) i went to the bench. 2nd half agaisnt hull city, i come in and give assist to ronaldo. got 7.5 rating, playing as a ss ever since and things are going quite well. scored 6 goals in 6 matches for the champions (but we finished 3rd, 1 point behind lyon and juventus). Im happy now, i get to play in my position and things are getting nice. will stay in man united till they sack or milan comes to find me. we will see wich comes first lol.

I'm having this problem too. Being played constantly for Chelsea on the wing. After 7-8 games of 75 mins each game, my player starts a game already fatigued. Working on my stamina which is 80, but still need to concentrate on my technical skills so I only have 2 bars on stamina for now.
 
I definitely feel like my technique, shooting and passing suffer when I'm fatigued. (Probably equally true when I'm playing at 3am too!)

Simply "skip the match". You'll be 100% fit for the next match and won't lose your place in the starting 11. You'll just miss the 1 or 2% "match experience" wich is more when you decide to get cards on purpose.
 
How comes i never play a full match. I'm always taken off around the 60-70 minutes. Even when i've played brilliantly its always the same shit.
 
Update on my dudes career.

Just finished season 4. My first season with Chelsea went pretty well, 9 goals and 8 assists in the RWF role. Took me awhile to adjust to that position as I was in midfield before. I found myself needing to be more like a striker this season.

Chelsea finished 2nd in the league, losing out on god damn goal difference to Man Utd :( Knocked out in the semi's of the cup by Villa. But we won the champions league :D beat Barcelona in the final on penalties, 1-1 after extra time. Was a great final, Barca have Ronaldo, Messi and Eto up front :O But at 1-0 to Chelsea a frustrated Messi 2 footed me from behind and got sent off. Despite that Barca were all over us and equalised in the 89th min. It went to penalties and we won after some awful pens from both sides lol

Season over I got called up for England to play in the euro's. First time in the squad so was happy. Unfortunately we were terrible!! I sat on the bench and watched as we went 2-0 down to Slovenia in our first group game. Then drew the following 2 matches against Spain and...Northern Ireland. I managed an assist during these matches but didn't get much time.

Started season 5 with a 0-0 against Bolton, despite a 7.5 rating for me. Man utd look strong as they have Tevez, Berbatov and Defoe as their strike force.
 
I have just started mine, and had a quick question. When you get called up to the national squad, is it only for single matches, or can you actually participate in tournaments?

edit: nevermind, I read somewhere you can indeed play in international tourneys. that's fantastic.

Mansouri finally (well still in his first season) has acquired a place in the starting eleven.
He got 3 "most impressive player" mentions and lots of assists...to stay withGrenobel may not have been the wisest choice, since they still are last and need a miracle to avoid relegation...Mansouri himself is doing very well, but this in a side that is constantly loosing...
The last match he played was against nantes, he team he turned down in the mid-season transfer window. Nantes are currently fifth...
Mansouri needs a good agent...

I left Boro after one season due to them being pathetic, if I didnt score, we barely even won and our constant defensive errors were schoolboy at best. For my 4th season I got many offers, but opted for Napoli for 3 reasons.

Number 1 - I wanted to be their new Maradona, ( I know, big fackin' shoes to fill.)

Number 2 - They were in the Champions league and I fancied a taste of European football to increase my chances of an International call up.

And Number 3 - My Xbox 360 version of PES 2009 doesnt have all the Premier league kits done yet, and the Italian league does, so off I went. ;0)

I have just completed my first year with Napoli and what a season we had. Without a shadow of a doubt they are the best team I have played with so far, they are awesome. I play CF in a 3-5-2 formation with Lavezzi supporting. And how good is he by the way. For me Lavezzi is like the new Franco Zola, his vision is superb, finishing deadly and THE perfect strike partner. I came on as sub for 20 minutes in my debut and scored the winner. It was a perfect start for my new team, and it wasnt long before I became a 1st team starter.

We finished the season in 3rd place, 3 points behind AC Milan, and a point behind Lazio. We got knocked out of the 2nd group stages of the Champions league but went on to reach the semi finals of the Uefa Cup before losing to Spurs over two legs 1-0.

Myself and Lavezzi scored 31 goals between us in our first season, he got 16 and I got 15 with 6 assists. I swear this kid is telepathic and very unselfish with his play, I love him. With Zalyetta, Mannini and Matty Taylor at Napoli I'm definately signing for another year at least, I have really enjoyed my last season and feel we can go even further.

At the end of the season I had many offers including one from Juve, but I'm staying put. I also got called up to the National squad for the Euro's. I made my debut coming on for 45 mins in a horrible English 4-4-1-1 formation. I scored the winner against Turkey but dont like the formation at all, sort it Fabio. :0(

In the 2nd group game we played Russia, I came on at 70 mins and missed two one on ones with the keeper. The game ended 0-0. We played Italy in the final group game needing at least a draw. We won 2-1, Rooney got them both and I got 20 mins.

We now play France in the last 16........

To be continued .............

I don't know how you put an OF onto the 360 - but people have option files for the 360 on pesfan and the winningelevenblog and other forums so you're best bet is to ask how they do it
 
I think I made a mistake - I left Napoli after 2 seasons as I never got a consistant run and didnt like the formation that they kept playing.

I got loads of offers in the summer, but all for DM :( Not my favoured position so I kept turning them down - then the last week, Valencia offered me a contract (still DM), and I thought it would improve my game.

Straight into the reserves and it was a bit awe-inspiring (yes, I am 32) to be lining up with Morientes and Zigic et al in the 'B' Team!

Got sent off in my first reserve game, so not a good start, but the difference in class is already apparent to Napoli. The speed of the players, passing, vision etc is all a step above what I'm used too (very cool Ai in the game to make that possible).

Dont think I will make the step up to their first team though and I see a summer of frustration until the first window where I will probably look to get out asap! Oh Napoli, take me back!
 
Pboreham, that makes it such a great mode IMHO...it's not necessary a success story...you have to prove yourself constantly and making decisions concerned (possible) transfers could be vital...
 
Yeah I love knowing that the game isn't holding my heand and pushing the greatest players aside for me to step into the first time. Even if I never win a league I can always go down in history as one of the greatest Villa players of all time or even that idiot who got sent off and cost his team the final.

And then i can start it all again and get a completely different career off even if i start in the same team and position.

-

I keep breaking into the Villa first time (im still in my first season) then playing like crap as the 1st team and the opposing team outclass me and then getting sent back to the B squad with the other losers. But it really gives me a drive to improve, not waste my passes and chances on goal and think about everything im doing.
 
My story

My position is AMF

Started my career for Aston villa and had regular first team football. Usually played CMF and the team played great football. Had a argument with john carew in mid season which was not beneficial to the team. I knew that my time at villa was limited. We finished 9th and I decided to join my favourite club spurs at the end of the season.

At spurs we won the league cup and I got called up to the national team. However I wasn't enjoying my time at spurs, I was always being played in CMF which is boring. I wanted to attack, score goals and assist but this was difficult because I always had to track back.

After the second season I received offers from Aston villa, man utd and arsenal. I ruled out a move to my former club and told asrene wenger to fuck off. Just 24 hours left until the transfer window closed and I was holding talks with man utd. Before the move was finalised Harry Redknapp spoke to me and insisted that I stayed. He said that I was indispensable to the club and that with my help the club will be successful. He also guaranteed me a free role in midfield if I stayed.

Hours before the end of the transfer window I refused man utd’s offer and signed a lucrative new offer with spurs.

I now have a free role and have scored 2 goals in 4 matches. We are currently 6th in the table.
