Congrats
@geeeeee, we were all rooting for you here. It must've been tremendous to do that work but our beloved PES08 PS2 deserves it, doesn't it?
Good luck with your ML, if it's already loads of fun to do a save on default PES08, must be quite a thing to play this mode on an updated, improved PES08 database: especially with the PSD stats that improve Teamwork and Mentality stats upon your typical retro-PES database, making it an even tougher experience than what one usually gets.
Perhaps on the highest transfer frequency setting you'll be using you might see some offers for your players. If so, then we'll know the "normal" setting is kind of broken on this regard.
Licerio Ordaz always cracks me up

ever since you mentioned that invented first name of yours here on the Corner, in my mind I always think of him as Licerio Ordaz. I don't know, it just fits so well! Bonus points for Minanda not having a first name, because Kings don't need two names. We all bow before our beloved leader, King Minanda I.
Looking forward to hear about your save.

About the PES12 ML discussion, that ends up being one of the many reasons to explore retro-PES games: for Konami is known to add/remove many features over the years, hence some iterations becoming completely unique like, say, a PES11 with its ephemeral Stadium creator, which I don't think has ever made it back to the game, has it?
@Special4988: Nice! PES5 has a few problems of its own (it's not a "whole game" like PES08, which is great all-around) but that game must have some visual drug hidden within because it's goddamn addictive nevertheless.

After the end of my ML's Season 2, I thought I'd take a break and go back to a recent favourite of mine, PES2 (PS2). It had completely flew under my retro-PES radar and upon trying it out to write my retro-review about it, I adored it. I have a couple of ideas for a quick "palate-cleanser" type of experience before I go back to PES5 for to continue my very enjoyable and so far dramatic ML:
1. - A realistic FIFA World Cup 2002 with Portugal, to avenge our dreadful performance in real life;
2. - A kind of "Champions League" with a very potent team, as lately and for a long time I've been exclusively using horrible teams.
Last night I was toying around with Navarra (Real Madrid) - why, Konami, would you call a team from Madrid "Navarra"? - and this team was incredible. You say the only thing keeping it from being perfect is Pavón, as Hierro deserved a better CB partner, but I say it's even more perfect because you've got the perfect scapegoat there. Figo has the ball down the right wing, tries to dribble the leftback, loses the ball: "f*ckin' hell Pavon, you stupid f*ck!". Casillas fails to save a simple shot? "What the f*ck Pavón?!?!?"
