Let's take a look see.

GK-Casillas is the obviouis starter, but I need a better backup then Cesar. So a new GK will be bought.

DF-Sometimes I play 4-4-2 others I play 3-4-3. I need defenders that can play both CB and SB. I plan on replacing Salgado with Heitinga who is younger and plays more positions. Also Raul Bravo will be replaced by Del Horno. The other defenders can stay for now.

MF-I don't need Celades, Borja, Jurado, or Juanfran. I plan on buying Kaka and we'll see who else.

CF-Attack is pretty well covered. I may trade Portillo for someone yet to be decided.

older players stats will go down during the season,training during the season wont improve players,only in off season,in off season u have the chance to build back up your older player stats,normal training during the season like corner taking,free kicks etc wont improve players but it might help your game

ok one thing that really irritates me is that the stats go down very very unrealistically. some decrease by 3. WTF they're not supposed go down that fast. even with 29 year olds. dats not a age at which they go down that ******* fast. then i gotta spend a whole week practicing just to get my players even close to wat they were. its BS. any way around this?? and the other thing thats just stupid and unrealistic. I have Rau on my team and Galatasaray has him too. they just bought him. The double players its just ****in annoying. i wanted to enjoy this master league, but just too many ****in stupid things.

THE CHELSEA/JAMAICA REPORT

CHELSEA

Tonights we hosted GETAFE C.F.. It was another wonderful, team performance. The result of the match was a 1- nil victory for us. We now find our selves in 2nd place and RENNES in 1st. It was top class team build-up play that worked it self out into a goal. LAMPARD with a low thru pass of the highest quality fed between two defense men to GUDJONSEN who tucked the ball away neatly to the right side of the keeper with a clinical finish from 16yds. He seemed to have gone for accuracy instead of power on that shot. Beautiful goal!
Here's a quick interview with TERRY.

CJR: Will you sum up tonights match for us?

TERRY: Well we just stayed focused and we knew that if we won this game it would, depending on other results on the day put us in a good position in the standings.

CJR: Your first D2 CUP match is against MARSEILLE two matches from now, do you think they will throw you off your roll, they seem to be your rival team in D2 right now.

TERRY: We can't let them throw us off or our chances for getting promoted will fade. It would be nice to do that first season and take it from there.

Well put it this way, C. Ronaldo and Adriano start going down at about 23-24, fake?.

Ronaldo doesnt go down even when he is like 33, fake?.

I have Gallas going down at 29, Kezman and Gudjohnson are going down and they are only like 26-27, fake?.

I dont think players should be going down that much, it should be at the age of around 30+, not 26+.

Cassilas also goes down very young.

yup i think on certain aspects, konami overdid it just a bit. otherwise the game is superb. I think i'll just stick to playin Bundesliga and the tournaments. just too much bs in master league. but who knows i might change my mind.

 

[BayernBoz]

also, do the computer teams also decrease in stats?? if so, then there's no problem. but i just think if they only decrease the user's team's stats, then its BS.

yeah you can find some players even not superstars who dont drop,at tottenham edman is 26 and is still rising

also to boz,yes cpu team stats do drop,i.ve bought ronaldo and his stats had dropped,other players too

 

[Ominous]

Well, talking about unrealistic, I've a player with 7 Condition and 97 Stamina whose condition bar drops more than 70% at 60-70 minutes (regardless of the rest he gets).

Strange that it happens, because there are players with 80 Stamina and 5 Condition who still have almost half condition left at the end of the game.

 

[kingpug]

Yea THAT is another wierd thing.

I had Aimar play a full 30 minutes with absolutely NO stamina, yet I couldnt notice a difference, and yet he wasnt fatigued next match?.

Also, I run ALOT, so I expect most of my players to have poor stamina going into the 2nd half, but half of the time it is my GK who has the less stamina, when he has had to make 1 save, wierd?.

But hey, from what I have seen stats barely mean anything.

it takes account what they do in the field

i use my LB and RB alot , and sometimes when i am not carefull , they are almost wasted by half time.

 

[jimbo118]

just wondering who are your most disappointing buys in ml,ill start

1:tevez,he had good stats but hardly scored a goal for me at all,useless,sold him on

2:bojinov,dido,just couldnt score

 

[kingpug]

I got Tevez and he was amazing, he was basicaly the only person scoring for me.

But thats only half a season, I played alot on PS2 and here are the flops of the century:

Reyes - Nothing you do with him worked, couldnt pass, couldnt cross and had a bad shot.
Bojinov - Dont know what was wrong, his stats were amazing but he just sucked ass.
Cassano - Same as Reyes.

 

[jimbo118]

reyes is quality for me

 

[jimbo118]

well not technically buys but when i was ml figo and raul were just ****,nunos gona love me for that,figo was the number 1 victim of the cpu tripping bug so i just dropped him for solari who was great,raul also i dropped for the pacy owen

 

[Nuno]

Figo was the all time assist leader for me. You just need to know how to use him.

share your wisdom

 

[Nuno]

Nothing to share really. I just a pretty good dribbler.

Well the fact that I played him as a right winger also helped, cause he didn't have to defend as much.

 

[kingpug]

Yes the right wing, there are only 2 options available:

Stumble
Get tackled from behind

Doesnt matter being a good dribbler, because when you skin someone the hair on his leg hits my player and he stumbles anyway..

 

[Nuno]

Actually, I mostly either beat the defender or win a foul.

 

[kingpug]

Yea I beat the defender also, but the split second you press O to cross he hacks you, always at the same spot, never near the halfway line..always right on the corner of the CPU box.

Just like you dont stumble in your own half, just near the CPU box, physics are amazing
