I see you went back to PES 20 mate and now back to 21. Both are good but obviously not without the usual frustrations. Which one do you prefer?

On console PES 20, or to be clear PES 20 vanilla
But on pc with a great mod PES 21, feels completely different, more like playing pes 14, heavy and really good, some frustrations but vs the vanilla version absolutely great

Season 3 Update (PES2021) - Santos on the brink of historic Serie A title
Title races are very rarely straightforward and this one is no different.
I left the last update with 8 games remaining and us being 1 point clear of Flamengo.
6 games later and we still sit top of the table with just two games remaining, but it has not been as straightforward as I had hoped. We have drawn 3 out of our last 6 games, dropping 6 points at a crucial time in the run-in. One of those games was against local rivals Corinthians. We found ourselves 2-0 down with just 20 minutes to go, thankfully we managed to score two late goals and scraped a point. Who knows how important that could be at the end of the season!
Thankfully, Flamengo have carried on their patchy form and were unable to take advantage as they dropped some crucial points too.
Our last two games see us face struggling Fortaleza before a tricky final game against Palmeiras. Palmeiras have been a bit of a bogey team during the last couple of seasons but given our superior goal difference 4 points from our final two games should be enough to get us over the line 🙌🏻

Season 3 Summary (PES2021) - Santos end 18 year wait for Serie A title
Well we didn’t have to wait too long after my last update for the celebrations to begin. With 2 games left, we were 2 points clear of Flamengo. Our next game was at home to struggling Fortaleza, after a cagey first half we scored an early second half goal and never really looked back. A late second goal secured the win and the celebrations at the final whistle confirmed Flamengo had slipped up - We were Serie A champions again! A first since 2004.
Flamengo fell to a surprising 2-0 home defeat against relegation candidates Vasco da Gama. They have definitely not been as ruthless this season but we were right there to take advantage. It meant there was little to nothing riding on the last game of the season against Palmeiras. We managed a 1-1 draw and with Flamengo drawing too we won the league quite comfortably in the end with a 7 point gap.
We had a few players make it into the team of the season. Matheus Fernandes was definitely our best player, notching up 8 goals from central midfield and countless assists. He was our talisman throughout. Igor Jesus had a solid debut season with 18 goals and at just 21 years old he is going to be a massive players for us over the next few seasons.
Vasco da Gama continue their yo-yo status with an immediate return to Serie B. They are joined by Fortaleza, Bahia and Cruzeiro. Botafogo SP and Guarani are promoted to Serie A for the first time during my save.
The Copa Libertadores was decided between Brazil and Argentina once again. This time Flamengo came out on top, beating San Lorenzo on penalties. Flamengo’s advance to the latter stages might explain why their league form took a bit of a nosedive this time around.
Next season will be tough as we aim to go and reclaim our Serie A title whilst also competing for the Copa Libertadores and Copa do Brasil. We had a disappointing run in the Libertadores last season but going out early certainly helped out with fatigue and our chances of winning the title.
We’ll need plenty of squad depth next season to compete on all 3 fronts. We have made some early signings with the arrivals of Felipe Vizeu, Gabriel Pec, Centurion and Fuentes.
The squad is looking in good shape ahead of season 4 🙌🏻

Wow, congrats mate, thats super impressive, team is looking sharp for next season as well
How long will you run this?
is it Libertadores that is missing before calling it quits?

Cheers mate - That is my thinking, my aim at the start was to win at least 1 Libertadores but I will see how the save plays out at that point. If the challenge is still there then I may carry on but usually by that point things have become a little bit too easy. Six or seven seasons tends to be by max on an ML save.
Hopefully there’s enough to go at for another 2-3 seasons on this one 👍🏻

three games played tonight and every single one of them was awful, player switching felt broken, every freekick went in from the cpu and my players not responding to input at all.
Think its time for me to uninstall this mess of a game , pretty much hated pes 21 vs 20 since day one.
Anyway its going to be put on hold til i can enjoy it again, rage quitting every game isnt what i want exactly

That's why i don't play anything higher than professional, I might get trounced once in a while but i don't feel cheated during the trouncing. Having the dynamic difficulty mod might play a factor too... dunno.
Glad your having fun on Pes 20!

Great season mate, will 4th place get you Champions League football next season? Some brilliant signings too - You will be able to push the top teams next season 👍🏻 Looks like Juventus are the team to beat.
PES20/PES21 kind of blur into one for me but I remember having tons of fun on PES20 with a few long term ML’s. The main thing is you play what you enjoy mate.

Yeah cheers buddy, might be a bit fatigued with pes maybe
I'm giving 21 a rest, but yes really liking pes 20 and having a lot of fun.
Remember playing a season when returning to pes on regular difficulty, game played amazing, too easy after a few games but really good.
I think a good tip is making the game tougher by cam angle and playing manual rather than playing harder difficulty

Nope Europa league for me, but that's ok.
Think my goal is the league since Roma hasn't won since 2001
Pes 20 feels more like a finished product, could be I play it on console Vs a patched pc version or having a high TS.

Læst signing of the summer window is a CM
(More on him later on)
Third game of the season was to SPAL at home a complete trashing, everything worked,long passing, short passing, combinations etc
A joy to play.
We hammered SPAL all game long, could this be Roma's year?
Next up Lecce away
So new signing Nkunku?
This is his first ever touch for Roma, he was bloody brilliant btw

Rock solid start for Roma, 5/5
Only game I've struggled in was Lecce away, felt like the old scripting was showing its ugly face, managed to win 2-1 in the end.
Salernitana at home ended me 4-1.
Total control the whole game.
Dusted off KAA Gent 2-0 in the EL group stage as well.
Next game is Vs an old bogey team (I have a few) Udinese.
Anyway great start 5/5 wins and 19-2 Gd

Congratulations on the long-awaited title!! Santos has been a long-suffering squad who has been waiting for a long time to reclaim their rightful Brasileirao glory (with a little help from unexpected protagonists Vasco Da Gama)! Your team is looking quite solid! Perhaps a reinforcement at goakeeper could work for season 4, but in the end, it was a great season!! Brazil and Argentina still dominating Libertadores, it doesn't look like it might change anytime soon in your save.. Next season will indeed be a challenge, but I'm sure Santos will be up for it!
P.S. Love the fact that you still have Castolo on your squad.

Thanks Milloss! I was definitely toying with upgrading the GK position but with such a strong defence I have decided to stay loyal to Dalberson for another season. Similarly with Ailton at LB, his stats aren’t the best but he plays great on the game. There’s a few players in there who were part of our promotion season which is great, including Castolo 😂 He’s 32 now in my save and quickly declining, but he scored 8 goals last season and helped us out in some crucial moments!

A couple of games played tonight.
Started the season 5/5 in Serie Af but then i met Udinese away, felt that this was a uphill battle.
They scored mid first half in me and everything felt sluggish, but came back with an equalizer late in the game making it an ok draw
then I had Sporting Braga away in the EL group stage.won it easily 3-0
Next up Juventus at home, had a squad that were a bit knackered and rested a few key players, ended up losing 2-1 and dropped a few places in the table.
So next up, and a good result needed was Sassuolo away, also a bogey team for me, but everything came together and won it 4-0.
Pellegrini (cmf) and Spinazzola (AMF) had two goals each.
So 7 games in and the table is stacked, feel that I can't lose that many games to be able to win this
My Europa League group looks pretty damn good as well, think I'm through to the next round already.
Dusted off Pescara 7-1 over two legs in the Coppa Italia and should be able to get quite far looking at which teams I can face further down the road.
Next up is Brescia at home, then Sporting Braga also at home before the big one, Lazio and derby days in Rome

Recently started a Parma save... The Goal is to get promoted to Serie A and it hasn't started so well through 4 games. Currently in 17th place with just 2 points. They just don't come easy and you can't get comfortable in this league...
Drew the first game 1-1 to Venezia... Very defensive battle with not much action in the final third.
Second match against Palmero. Tied at the break it seemed like it was going to be a very even match... and then they scored in the first five minutes of the half which caused me to go on the offensive to try to get an even. But then they got their third and then their fourth and then their fifth... Once the flood gates was opened my defense just couldn't cope with Palmero's onslaught. Humbling defeat to say the least. Still getting used to the players and what not.
Third Match against Cittadella.. Fresh out that defeat against Palmero we was motivated to come back with a WIN in front of our home crowd. The first 30 minutes did seem promising although their striker was missing some sitters to be fair... but within 5 minute timeframe they score 2 goals and it seemed like it was going to be the game before it. We go into the locker room and after rousing talk with the players something felt like it changed. We get one back it the 53rd minute and kept on the pressure. I sub on a winger called Partipilo and his first touch and shot flipped the whole game on its head and we equalize 2-2. With all the momentum on our side and the crowd egging us on we start to believe! But then disaster struck and they score in 83rd minute off a cheeky freekick that looked like they practiced in training. We push hard for the last 10 minutes but we lose the match. Partipilo had a chance in the dying embers of the match but goalkeeper does his job. So first 3 matches and 0W 1D 2L... Not looking good
Fourth match against Como away... Weird match this one. They sub in a player right after the second half starts like 1 min after kickoff and that same player scores within the first 3 minutes of coming on... my LB loses his head gets sent off with gamble of a tackle. So we are 10 men down and look like we are headed into a guaranteed loss but we somehow get one back off a own goal in the 66th minute... For the rest of the match we are just playing in our own half and hunkering down for a draw. But they score in the 81st minute which was just a matter of time because they were battering us, kudos to us for lasting that long. The game seemed to be all but done but then...
We got 2 goals off mistakes in this game... Como should have won this game but hey i'd take it
We are heading off to COPA ITALIA first round against Torino, It's still early in the season its time we string some matches together and find our feet.

Honestly don't feel bad with this team... Everyone but my CBs has been playing well after those first 2 games. Might just need a formation change been going with a 4-4-2 but with my striker Benedyczak playing very well i don't think i need 2 up front.

It was hard returning to Pes 20 after my heavy stint on Pes 14.
But my Roma ML continues here.
Brescia at home was never really any danger for me, the put up a good fight but after being 2-0 up after 45 mins they scored on me early 2nd and kept pushing quite hard.
Having a very solid central line with Ibanez/Smalling/De Rossi it wasn't that much danger, in the end I scored on them making it 3-1 Roma.
Braga at home was a comfy win for me in my 4th Europa League game, and making it 4/4 that means I'm through to the last 32 with 2 games left.
Derby Della capitale Vs Lazio
Scored after 4 mins and kept them out of my box for a big part of the first half, though a mistake by my left winger opened up a gap for them and Correa made it 1-1.
5 mins later and a through ball saw me making it 2-1.
Late first half and I scored again from a cross making it 3-1.
Second half and Lazio pushed up hard making it both 2-3 & 3-3.
The rest of the game was a slug fest with tons of rough play, but in the 86th min Kluivert made it 4-3 Roma.
Kept hold of the ball the last min and the derby win was mine.
The game after i beat Napoli 1-0 making me 4 points clear down to them in second place.
Next game is a tough one (most likely) Bologna away.

Bologna away and a solid 4-1 win.
Never any danger tbh, the only danger is my ML with River Pkate on Pes 14, takes up a lot of time, but still enjoying my Pes 20 though it's a bit on rails Vs 14
Next game is Inter at home and that's a challenge for sure

Played a Coppa Italia game with my Salernitana on Pes 21, which i won 2-0.
Game felt a little better on game speed 0, but still not my favourite gameplay right now.
Then i had a fun game on my PES 14 ML, River Plate vs Rosario Central, a bit buggy but oh so fun
