I moved apartment last week so i havent had time for any gaming hardly,but will pick up my R Sociedad ML soonA bit quiet in here lately guys! How have your campaigns been going? Greetings to all and looking forward to hearing about your campaigns!
@Madmac79 Loving it bro!! PALMEIRAS!! Now we will be playing the same tournament,, me with Estrela Azul and you with the Green Sleeping Giant, but in different years and different realities! I have a feeling you're gonna love the Brasileirao, and their unique Cup/League system!
They are a huge team, one of the biggest in all of South America, and now the pressure is on Matías to bring them out of their midtable results and return them to glory! Palmeiras is a high-pressure, high-reward kind of experience! He follows a recent trend of Argentinean coaches in Brazil (Ramón Díaz, Hernán Crespo, among others). It will be really interesting to see how he does in the tough environment of Brasileirao and Sao Paulo, with so many derbies (including against my real life Brazilian favorites, Corinthians)!
Can't wait to hear more about this story. Let me know if you have any questions regarding Libertadores!!

Did you scrolled down to bottom of the explanation of the competitions? Maybe it explains the regulations.View attachment 246045
Guys, on an unrelated note, I have a question regarding my PES 2009 Werder Bremen save. As you can see in the link, I won Bundesliga in my second season, and I was expecting to participate in the Champions League the following season, (called the European Championship in PES 2009, as the Europa League is called the European Masters Cup I believe)

But strangely, when the European Championship groups are showcased, Werder is nowhere to be found, and the teams from my League (custom made Central Europe Federation) who appear are the "Europa League" teams (Lyon, Marseille, Dortmund, and PSV).

The game itself says that the "European Championship" is a 4-group Champions League, and the "Masters Cup" is the equivalent of the Europa League, but strangely, this seems to be inverted! The "Masters Cup" groups haven't been released yet, amd the teams included in the "European Championship" are the "Europa League" ones.. Does anybody know if this is some of of bug or error in the game? Thanks in advance if you know anything about this issue, bros.
@Kopite1990 Congratulations on a trophy-filled 6 seasons bro! The only thing that seems a bit strange is how the quality of your league rivals decreased so much in the sixth season! My longest PES save was 4-5 seasons, with Reggina in PES 2017, and I never noticed a drop-off in the quality of the opponents.. Are you playing the PC or the console version? Reason why I ask is because of the ML no regens mod on PC, which I personally use, and I think it is tested for 10 seasons..
In anycase, what an amazing run by PES United! A legendary run indeed, made especially sweet since you started at the very bottom with the default players. Looking forward to reading your next update!
Ohh ok, maybe it had something to do with the highest rated free agents you picked up! In anycase, it was a great run, I think it's awesome to see how your humble default ML players squad finally became a world beater, giving Bayern, Real Madrid, and the huge European giants a run for their money!Cheers Milloss! It was one of the most enjoyable ML saves I have done in recent years. Starting with a ‘default’ squad definitely added to the challenge and the story.
In terms of the league quality, I think it was down to two factors. Obviously we got better as a team and probably outgrew the league. Also, when I started the save I added a lot of the highest rated free agents to the other teams in the league, just to make it more competitive. I just don’t think the COM was savvy enough in the transfer window to replace these players or add to their squads. As time went by their squads just got worse. You are right though, I’ve never seen it fall off so badly as it did in my final season. That is probably the easiest League title win I have ever had in ML. I play on PS4 👍🏻
Also, I forgot to do a shoutout for Salazar due to your Millonarios connection - He ended up being a fantastic player for us. He did not feature much in the final season but he notched up 177 apps and scored 23 goals across his five years with PES United 🙌🏻
Totally agree on the derbies! I had no idea there were so many ones in Sao Paulo before this ML. It's total a plus to me, as I love to play as many rival games as possible!@Madmac79 Lovin it, bro!!
I think it's so cool that Palmeiras has not one, but THREE recognized derbies! (Corinthians, Sao Paulo, and Santos), and I would actually add a fourth one! (Recently, Palmeiras and Flamengo have had quite the rivalry)! I actually love the Brasileirao format, have ALL cup games being played before the league starts, that way you can fully focus on both, one at a time!

Even though you weren't able to go on a Copa do Brasil run, 6th place is actually good in the Brasileirao, as I think it gives you a spot to Libertadores qualfying round phase! I think you should DEFINITELY try to aim for 5th, as I think 5th is a direct spot to group stage, if PES 2017 follows the current format, which I think it should! (as you can see above )
In terms of Matias' 4-4-2 diamond I have a question bro: Is this strategy one that he uses throughout all of his teams? Or did he adapt it to Palmeiras' needs? I also think you have some great signings. Especially love Paulinho's signing! In real life, he is a Corinthians product (He won the Club World Cup with them!), so having him land at Palmeiras is a double-whammy for your rivals! I can imagine the chants when you guys visit Corinthians, hahahahah.. But playing against adversity is one of Matias' strengths, so this could be a cool "side story" to your campaign! Let's go bro!! Let's get that fifth place and Libertadores group stage!! Vai Palmeiras!!
finished 2nd in the end 7 point behind everton. Promoted to premier league but then Everton came in for me so signed as manager for them with a much bigger transfer pot. Just signed Nunez from Liverpool for 70 million and ready to go againI rebuilt Sheffield Wednesday in Championship after being sacked by Blackburn. For two seasons i have missed playoffs by a matter of a few points. Third season in going into Jan Transfer window and i have been offered a position to manager Bournemouth who were 3rd in the league. I left SW with a heavy heart and now at Bournemouth currently second and on for auto promotion but still a few games left. I feel like a traitor and a cheat
Yeah spot on regarding South America. If you take a look at our leagues, we do have foreigners but, in 90+% percent of the cases, these are players from other South American countries. Occassionally we will get Central American players (actually, one of Millos' players, CB Vargas, is from Costa Rica ), and very very rarely from Europe, Asia, Africa, or other continents (these cases do exist but they are few and far between).2. If I'm in a certain country, I will sway more towards buying players of that Nationality. Especially in South America.
Hey there, fellow Master League fanatics! Happy holidays!
I wanted to ask you guys: Do any of you like to follow any self-created Master League rules? For example, regarding transfers, nationality, salaries, etc. to add realism and/or a challlenge to your campaigns?
I am currently following two rules in my played ML's:
1. Never sign a player above the rating of your best player on the team. So say for example, your best player has an overall of 73, make sure that no transfers exceed that amount. Now, let's say a player naturally develops higher than that (e.g. 74), so the threshold moves accordingly. But always following that "maximum rating" rule. I am actually thinking of extending this to "second best player", for an extra challenge.
2. Follow country rules. For instance, in my current Peruvian League PES 2017 campaign, I only allow myself a maximum of 5 foreign players per team, no exceptions.
Are there any self-imposed rules that you guys like to implement? Would love to get the ball rolling on this topic and hear some ideas.
