Sorry guys, I just came on here to have a rant.
As much as I love Konami for their excellent retro PES games, I really hate the fact that sometimes there is no solution to the problems that come from editing these games. What makes it frustrating is that there is no answers to some of the random things that come up at times.
Not too sure about the other games but PES2008 the PS2 version which you guys know that I love has been giving me problems these last couple of days.
I started a ML with my adjusted stats option file yesterday but then Other League C players appeared "PLAYER A1 etc", I don't want these in the game because they mess up the ML with 5000 salary players etc.
I know they appeared because of the global adjustments that I made, it has happened in previous option files that I have done. The work around is to adjust those players back to their original stats ie. 70, 70, 70 etc. It takes time because you have to do them individually.
This time I thought I could just use the PES editor, and open up a second option file, and copy and paste each player over. I tried it for TEAM A, then I tested by loading up a ML and the result was that they did not appear. Excellent! or so I thought.
So I spent time editing over the rest of those teams, all the way through to TEAM R, which takes time.
I then started a ML, and have been going through my team to see what players I should have in what positions you know planning for the season ahead.
Then I just happened to check the players in the ML in the search section and there are all the TEAM A to TEAM R players again. I have just wasted a whole evening with this game and have done nothing.
I can't understand why in previous option files the teams do not appear, then when I tested it, team A did not appear, but now for some reason they appear.
It is baffling to me. I am sure you editors and patch makers hit a brick wall sometimes.
I am guessing that I have to go into the game editor itself and make the changes as I think this has worked for me before, but everything takes time and it really takes the joy out of my editing and out of trying to play the game.
Sorry for the long rant, but I know you guys understand the frustration sometimes. I guess it would be best if I did not make any adjustments but the reason I want to keep them is because the game to me is too fast and crap without them.
