@Madmac79: I noticed the GK wearing a cap and thought you had manually assigned it to him...does Burgos appear like that on the PES3 default database? Never noticed it, how cool.
Great to see you using a Sweeper...or should I say, Líbero? Burgos and his cap as a Libero must be quite the sight!...Glad to see the "Zamenhofian" approach to virtual football catching on!
My friend, that Baggio goal is not the Retro-PES Goal of the Week, it is the Retro-PES Goal of the Season!
@Special4988: I can't speak for PES3, but on my last long-term ML (on PES08 PS2) those "rise and falls" you speak of totally happen. For example, Bayern became naturally the best team of my division over the years (a league comprised of the best teams from the Other Teams A/B section). They already had Lucio, Klose, Schweinsteiger, and then added a few other great players to that already powerful squad. Consequently, they dominated the first years of my save alongside Benfica. But while Benfica kept building upon their squad, often making moves to freshen it over time, Bayern just kept relying on their rapidly aging roster - which was still wonderful, mind you, but at one point those former superstars were reaching the age of 40...a decade after the beginning of the save, Bayern started to fall from grace and even the likes of Galatasaray are able to outplay them: Galatasaray became known for buying a lot of newgens/regens early on, like Barth/young Maldini/young Hakan Sukur; these had little impact early on while they were still teenagers but as the years went by, they became superstars and the team become one of the most successful in the whole of the ML "universe".
If you play a ML save long enough you'll start to see these little "side-stories" develop. These retro-PES MLs are much more random and chaotic than a modern game (just look at Madmac's screenshot, Galatasaray getting Zidane, Rivaldo...) because unlike say, a modern FM, teams don't really have budgets, so any one of them can become the next footballing powerhouse. It's next-level drama really.
