Are you playing J.League Winning Eleven 2008 CC?
It is interesting that master league is that hard? You are new to pes/we series? Or AI is that strong in that version you have?
Yes, its the CC on superstar. I have been playing PES since 2015, earlier i was a FIFA kid.
I always was pretty decent at footy games, my managerial career in PES was most of the time alright haha
I replayed PES 5 2-3 years ago and managed to win the league and CL with middlesbrough after 3 seasons.
Earlier this year i started to dip my toes in other older PES games, managed to win the league and CL within 4 seasons with defaults on superstar in WE8,
but it was quite hard, so i would say that im at least alright lol
There is something about Winning Eleven 2008, especially when you start with the defaults, they stand out more with their awful stats (Especially the defense)
in comparison to other PL teams. it is really a challenge, especially with a really good attacking AI.
Thankfully the CC version fixed one issue that i had with 2008 AI, the constant dribbling, they dont dribble that much in CC.
I gave up that ML with the defaults for now and started a new ML that fully embraces the J.LEAGUE version.
the Roasso Kumamoto are my new team, it seems like they are one of the worst in the J.LEAGUE 2.
As you can see my league posistion after 9 games is more solid than the earlier ML, but still its a challenge.
It might seem like i sugarcoat this game too much, dont get me wrong, other PES titles are also top top games, but the way this game recreates the match flow is just right for me.
