The Master League adventures thread

I don't want to make any exaggerated claims but I have been editing PES 2017 for the last few months almost every teams tactics trying to find a sweet spot for difficulty and its seemed to have worked a treat I have it playing so good right now im fine if PES 2018 disappoints me on release anyway basically I kept att play styles to how they are in real life but a good 80% of teams use Frontline pressure (very weak teams to all out def) I lessened the gaps/space between the DF MID ATT in fluid formations and pushed the back line higher in possession so they box you in this doesn't expose them to high through balls either as they move back as a unit out of poss

its made teams a lot harder to break down and they move beautifully going forward as they are all shaped correctly with correct player skills card applied to more players in all teams i also improved all center backs jump and heading accuracy but not enough to change their overall this has helped the crossing issue by a decent amount and some gk adjustments no defensive gk cards are assigned all in all im loving the ML I have just stared after months of editing and testing this will keep more more than happy if 2018 needs a few patches

Saintric I edited my own team by pushing defence line up to 8 and physically moving defenders higher as well . .changed from all out defence to frontline pressure attacking through the centre and I find it leads to more of a midfield battle and I don't seem to be getting caught too much with balls over the top. .it seems to instigate the keeper to come out more like a kind of sweeper . .have had some great battles using the high defence.
 
Top Player, Manual Passing + Advanced Shooting. Yeah, while I was playing the match, I thought the same. But, indeed, Barcelona gives away too much space, and if you defend well, you can get them.

Thanks!!

You must be a really good player if you're beating Barca 5-0 at halftime. . fair play bud.

it does compress the play nicely yea makes finding space a bit harder and creates nice battles across the pitch im sure you could create a similar thing in 2018 because for all the faults with konami their tactics actually do what they say on the tin im looking forward to some testing until a full option files out to start a ML
 
So ladies and gents,had a thinking last night about continuing with my Ac Milan ML.
Found two old saves I played with a bit first,Torino and Palermo (Serie B) both teams had TS between 40-60, and those games were horrible,might go with the Palermo one for fun on the side since it's a massive challenge
Anyway

Ac Milan Master League season three
Objectives:winning the scudetto as reigning champion,top 4 acceptable
Champions league:last 16 being acceptable
Coppa Italia:that's were my "reserves" are playing

Some changes in personal going into season three
Out: Kucka to Guingamp €14,3 Poli,Corinthians 10,5 Durm to Lazio 13,8
Kucka and Poli hardly played these two seasons so deserves some love somewhere else,Durm didn't really challenge Antonelli for that Lb spot

In: Bernadeschi Fiorentina €25,9,Ruosillion,Montpellier €12,7
Bernadeschi will (hopefully) be a massive man on my Lwf (with Menez who had 10 L goals)
Ruosisillion is a future man on the LB,will probably get tons of time on the pitch this season already

Other news,my younger players are making a run for it in the squad
Vido a SS has grown to a 78 ovr,,Calabria 77,cutrone 77, Locatelli 76,Mauri 77
So future is looking bright
Haven't made more than 8 transfers in,and 12 out in three seasons.
Good solid squad to start a career with.

First game of the season
Italian super cup vs Napoli

Next game is the European super cup vs Barcelona
Edit: which I won 1-0 on a Lucas Moura header.
First trophy in !!!

Hard luck bud . .we can't win them all.
 
Sampdoria's final match is away to Inter and need a win to confirm 4th place in the league and a champions league spot . ..it's not looking good though. ..one point from the last four matches through terrible scripting. . .level on 66 points with Sassuolo and two points ahead of Udinese. ..if we get beaten or draw it will all depend on the other two's results. .anyway here we go.

I don't understand how I kept fourth spot Sassuolo have better goal difference?

Mama Mia!!!
A bastard of a game.
It's probably a VS record with Sassuolo,I've set it to that,goal difference being the last decider,wins-vs record -goal difference,that's how they do it in Italy.
If it was a being champions/relegated,those things wouldn't count,then it's decided by a home and away game.
Congrats though
 
So game 1 and 3 of my 3rd ML season.
A skipped my 2nd game for you,a 1-0 win vs Genoa,my game vs them are always horribly boring,long balls for 90 min
This is away to Sampdoria and home to Frosinone
I got drawn into a fairly easy CL group btw
Porto,Lille,Dinamo Zagreb

Well done, great start .. the power in those first two shots . . fuckin hell.
 
Deadline day update.
Out:Zapata,Chievo €5,1
In:Laporte,Real Madrid €34,5

That's my transfer window for the season.

Have been playing my youngster Calabria on the RB position,he's gonna be massive within a season or two.
My big signing last year,L Moura is starting to pay off as well.
Bernadeschi my LWF from Fiorentina is also getting some work done,very good player
But the biggest surprise,and probably my best signing ever,is Roussillion a LB from Montpellier.
An absolute monster,none passes him,plus scoring and assisting.
Best Buy ever.

Here's a few clips from my CL game vs Porto,and my fourth Serie A game vs Bari.
Since YouTube was a complete nightmare all night long,no clip lads,sorry.
Did beat Porto 2-1, and Bari 4-1
Bernadeschi,Roussillion,and Moura scored my goals vs Bari
 
So going back and forth between my 17 and 15 ML.
Love everything (almost) with 17, except the fact that I need to play it at zero game speed,lower and the CPU catches my pacey players and theyre on a 13 week injury list.
Seems to be CPU way of defending
Can't be done on zero,or less frequent anyway.

So played a few games on 15 last night.
Funny thing,if you want the game more lose,more battles,more freekicks,you go manual on 17,on 15 it kicks in at PA1.
On 15 I've played 6-7 games on manual and pretty much the same on PA1.
PA1 is superb on this one,very very close to 17's manual,and you draw freekicks,win battles,stop the CPU scripted goals through the middle.
Can't believe I didn't get this game more love when it came out.
And,the midfield play is superb in this one,might even take some time and edit opponent data
I'd probably get tired and frustrated with this one to after a while,but right now it's refreshing

My upload studio is totally fucked in the head right now,so no vids!

Napoli at home,lost 2-1,tight game,but the came out being a bit stronger.
Also first game with pitch side camera,4-4-3,just like my tactics.

Second game,Lille at home,2nd CL game.
Tough first half,but took advantage of their narrow setup and destroyed bthem down the flanks,3-1 me

Roma away
Looked like a 0-0 draw, tough game,not much created,but they got a pen in the 68th minute,and missed!
On the following attack by me I lost the ball,they counter attacked in 1-0.
A few minutes later,another penalty for them,missed again, goalkeeper plays the ball to my Def,loses it,2-0!
Shit game

I'm in a real hole now,two straight losses and I've gone from 1st to 7th.
Only good thing is that Roussillon completely destroyed Salah in Roma,not once did he pass him
Monster!!

Next two games are the Italian cup,so I'll play a weaker team then
 
3rd straight loss
Lazio away 2-1
It's getting ridiculous,7 games in and my push for a second scudetto is pretty much gone already
CPU is pinging past my defence,and my players are hiding and gets stripped away from passes all the time,worst is that the CPU is bullying me from the ball
Bit of a shit fest aka scripting aka Vs CPU record has kicked in.
Still good games though

That is because your game wants you to play PES 2018 already!! Sad to hear, but you will recover mate, keep it up!
 
Ok possibly my last Pes 2017 Ml match Sampdoria v Sporting cp second leg of Champions league playoff and 2-0 down from first leg

 
Meanwhile in London...

-I'm not gonna lie...that's some top-notch mediocre cazzo di merda if I have ever seen-a-one...I will need money. Do you have the money?
Fulham's owner, some sort of a guy doesn't matter who gives a shite amirite, looked desperately at one handsome Sanmarinian guy casually sitting in front of him.
-W-w-well...we do have some monies, certainly, yes, but...
-But?
-It's not many monies. We cannot compete with top Championship teams...

It was a sign that worthy challenge has appeared. Across many, many Master Leagues in world of PES, where time is convoluted and distorted and corrupted also, he, like many other managers, has transcended many, many wicked worlds. He has led tons of teams in many dimensions to the ultimate glory. Be it legendary Dinamo Moskva who won five Champions League titles in a row, Belenenses who put an end to Portuguese Cartel once and for all, mighty Spezia Calcio, destroyers of worlds, conquerors of Italy, unknown FC Belgium...

Angelo Miuratti, God of War, one of many Master League Travellers was there and he knew, goddamit he knew dem monies mean nothing in this cruel PES world, and not even Adam and Asim gonna stop him.

-You, nameless Fulham owner...you and me...we will put an end to this heresy once and for all...
-Well yeah you sure are one mysterious guy Mr. Miuratti but what the f-...
-Overpriced and overpaid and yet morally bankrupt...England, the centre of football's corruption...Endless pounds, shitty merchandise, ultimate teams and fantasy teams...Seabass might forgive you all, but I have to send you to him first...

Both men stared at each other for a few minutes in a great anticipation. They knew another fantastic journey is about to begin. Well one of them at least. On the other hand, nameless owner, realizing how stupid and confusing all that crap is decided to say something.

-Look Sir, your CV is all nice and you know football and how to manage all sorts of thingies and I'm willing to hire you, just explain what the heck are you talking about, some time travelling, transcendencendendence, I mean I'm really worried about y-
-That's just the way things are sometimes...look, you wanna win that Champions League silver chalice cup or not?
-Well yeah...
-Stick with me. I have the plan. A good one. But you have to trust me. And Praise the Sun indiscriminately, at least twice a day.
-Oh my God what have I gotten myself into...

"Today Fulham has announced acquisition of San Marino's finest calcio manager to ever grace this planet, Signore Angelo Miuratti, former manager of Super Spezia in PES 2017 (whatever that means). Apparently he wants to win Champions League in five years or something. That's absolutely crazy!" - The Soon.

"I mean, what is this crazy Italiano thinking?! Salary cap? Ban Ultimate Team? Financial restrictions?! I dare say we send him back where he came from, we have no need for quality football teams and competent management, not to mention European trophies!" - average Englishman football guy.

"Whatever, I don't like this club all that much anyway. So I've hired the guy, you know, he seems passionate and stuff...but he's scary sometimes. As long as he won't kill all of us, I am going to do absolutely nothing and pretend everything is alright." - Fulham's owner guy who is he?


PES works! Bought my key, installed it right now, I might not play much - if at all - tonight, but I've decided to play Fulham. I hate English football with passion, too much goddamn money and absolutely hillarious record in Europe, and I don't even watch football anymore goddamit I just play PES! You are the worst kind, of the...worst kind, England! Throw aside your monies and finally git gud!

Fulham is licensed so it's a nice introduction to Championship for me. Never played it. Gonna smash it. We'll take England by storm, actually make it relevant on football map of Europe for once! :D

First news and screenshots and stories will arrive tommorow I guess!

Yeah baby!!

That save in Fergie time....
Man,nice game though,tough luck mate.
Be prepared for a very very different game once you go 18 mate.
Like learning how to ride a bike again.
With tactical fixes,it's a superpower game.
Very different to 17
 
Okay so honestly I need some energy and actual time to start ML itself, transfers etc. will require some serious thinking...but before I go to bed, look:

New main menu, liking it a lot.

Hahaha, nameless owner - almost as if I predicted it or sth :D

But yeah he might end up firing my ass if I don't get promoted so better get started on it tommorow :D

Wonder if I'll be able to buy Petagna again...this year he's got massive boost http://www.pesmaster.com/a-petagna/pes-2018/player/60494/ and will probably be extremely expensive, but man I will need him! Gotta try tommorow.

Off to bed now, it's altogether way too late. I still have entire four days to play this Master League :D

It's good to be back.
 
Only 3 more hours until my poll for Ted Lasso Master League closes. (Haven't been able to get internet for the past 5 days so I know its a bit late notice.)
