Oh the joys of playing this game...............but also the damn, awkward moments!
I have played PES 2012 ML online a fair bit over the last few months, but the last week has trailed off a bit. The reason for this is as follows.....
1) I did well
2) I got promoted from div 5 straight to div 1!
3) Once in div 1, I won a few games!
4) It then went downhill!
I had managed to get up to 560+ points! This was just after I had been promoted! Then I had a problem.
I had always had my option setting to 'similar level opponent'. My team was not the most expensive team, but I had used them well to get where I was. The problems I now faced, were the teams I came up against.
With being in the top flight in master league online, pretty much all the players I now faced, were full strength teams. They had a full squad, on full energy levels and on top form. In addition to this, they also had a wide selection of subs to choose from who were also ALL on top energy and form!
So the scenario was......not easy!
I had the option of being on a 'similar level' setting with all of these full strength teams, or the other option of 'any level' player, which could also end up giving me an even higher rated opponent as my luck would undoubtedly give.
And there we have it! This is exactly how the scenario in my downfall began! I stayed on the similar level strategy, only to end up losing every game (not by much I may add), then switching to the any opponent strategy and facing higher opponents who mightily trounced me!
I now lie back in div 4, on around the 420 point mark, but I do hope to regain my composure and rise up again. I think the only option is to keep trying to gain funds, no matter what the result and try to buy some higher top class players at 20m+. All the players that caused my downfall seemed full of these (not one lower priced player in sight!), and I believe the way the games engine works, would favour me better in these situations when the team is right. Over all, the achievement gained from being such a low priced team was brilliant in its own right as I have managed to defeat quite a few 300m+ teams with my lowly 50-70m team, but to stay up there is the real issue.
Will this happen before the next instalment of the franchise? Or will I be destined to stay in the lower divisions?
This of course is another story for another time.
Thanks for reading fellow pro-evo-ians!
Bob!
great blog, it's both encouraging and informative for a long time ml offline player looking into going online.
ReplyDeletei have a few questions hoping to get answered:
1- is there a youth team for online play? the palmeri, camacho, duffy players?
2- lots of complaints on the net about 'cheaters' and disconnects when winning, is that still frequent?
3- i played a few online friendlies the other day, sometimes lag would hit and it seemed too frustrating to continue, do many of you hit this issue?
thanks!
so, i played last night, two games
ReplyDeletewith the default roster i had to face villa, cesc, pique, etc. can't say it was much fun, not sure why the 'similar opponents' option isn't default, lol.
but i answered most of my questions. there is no youth team, and no development of current players. there is no transfer window. so, while this may be the style of master league that appeals to most players, it's not for me.
the question is, how many pes fans would be interested in this? let's say that transfers only can occur before entering a competition until the 3rd game, then between games 19-21, then nothing until the end? not even sure if mlo competitions are 38 games long, but add that too.
i think it should be an option, like allowing player development in offline master league.
Thanks for the comments, and sorry for mot getting back to you earlier.
DeleteThe whole transfer system within PES 2012 is based on player stats, how many people have each player and a form wave.
To buy new players, you must play games. You will obviously get a good amount for a win and much less for a loss. You will in time also notice these amounts rise depending on the strength of the win and the people you face and also how much your team is worth. You even get revenue from drawn games.
To buy a player, you must pay a transfer fee, plus a contract for a minimum of 10 matches.
Just make sure your players are on good form, or on their way up to good form or you will end up playing them with lowered stats.
As your team gets stronger, you will hopefully see improvement in your results.
It is hard at first as a new team, especially with the default players but there is always hope.
Learn to use each player's special skills wisely and your team will adapt. There are plenty of cheaper players that can add to your strength.
I wish you all the beat in your new campaign.
How i have better player by playing online they always giving me law levels !!! ??
