PES ML ONLINE

The last few months have certainly opened up my eyes to not only PES and PES ML online, but generally online gaming. I only play 2 games online. PES and MW3. I don't feel that I am the best at either, but one thing I can say is that I play my socks off, to the best I can be at the time (tiredness and illness permitting), and also with utmost respect of any honest players out there.

I have been very pre-occupied, hence the lack of posts these last few months. With this in mind, I do hope to write more and more posts in the future. PES 2013 is very much in my mind and having not let up with playing 2012 (which I will be playing till the release of 2013), I feel my dedication to the franchise will be much better next season. 

But.......back to this seasons instalment. I have undoubtedly been through a journey of thrills and heartache. My funds have been tested, but duly noted and prioritised in order to buy better players. My skills have improved (not quite as much as some encountered players), but most of all I have actually had some fun with PES 2012. 

My current status within the ML online leagues is that of a positive one. Even with a team value (including disposable funds) of approx 115 mil, I have managed to reach a Division 1 ranking. This was an important part of my ML online campaign this season, but there is still one that leaves me let down. 

Back when 2012 was released, as with every player, I ran up a loss to win ratio of about 80 matches. Over time, I have managed to break this down to the 40-45 match gap, but still, the positive numbers elude me. 

After being stuck with a team of 70-75 mil, I had to re-think my funding strategy and tried to work with players for longer, rotating players health, but most importantly..........not renewing contracts when the form was due to drop. This meant I managed to sell players for more than I paid and also managing me to save more each match. 

I could actually manage to save for more well known players!

This is something I was not able to do in 2011. 

Players I managed to buy:

Eto'o

Villa

Pato

Aguero

......They were not all at the same time, but were in that order. Some helped my form improve, some did not do much. But I think it depends on each human player as some in-game players work better than others. Out of the list for me were Pato, Villa then Aguero. Pato was phenomenal, Villa did score a few but let me down in other areas, And Aguero was very strong and good at getting the ball but did not play as well as I had hoped. 

I still have time to play more games and unlike many other people, I am giving the 2013 demo a miss. Until the release, I will continue to play and improve my team, but this could lead to my downfall in the ranks. 

I will be writing a post on my final standings and results, and possibly a few more posts in between, but until then........

Happy gaming and good luck!
