I honestly can't remember the last in game injury I've seen. Three or four years ago now? The only reasoning I can think is that as everything nowadays is so online focused, they were maybe worried about fouls being abused online. Eitherway it does massively detract from ML mode, I'm into my third season and I've not even had a training injury yet.

...and then two games later.

Have been looking forward to this for a while now - so it's sod's law that I'm flying to Norway/Sweden tomorrow and won't be back home until Saturday.

Bloody Europa League!

I hear the arctic circle is lovely this time of year.

Just had a go at the Liverpool challenge. Win one game and win an agent. My issue is, why do they make is sooooooo hard to get the ones you want? There is 175 players in the pool. Why can't it just be the 6 Liverpool legends and the current Liverpool squad?? But no. Its full of shit and i got Cristante of Alalanta who serves zero interest to me.

Two absolutely stunning countries, but wow, it was so cold. All I'll say is that I'm truly thankful for thermal socks!

DP3 & Patch

What does everyone think? I played PES for the 1st time in awhile to test out the new gameplay etc. Talking point is always "placebo v real" but I do see some changes. When playing a few games of Master League, I noticed that the CPU were less direct, less cut-throat and more patient in their play. I'm sure that's real. I'm also sure there has been graphical tweaks too. The gameplay view I use looked a tiny bit crisper.

Anyone else pick any changes up?

[Lildogfarts]

the keepers are rock solid to get a shots past now i feel you really have to do something special on ML to beat them I'm always playing on top player now seems at times that setting is been notched up to world class need some time to get use to

[Lildogfarts]

update uploaded my previous master league that i had before the new one i just started and seems fine question is does the AI calm down abit the further you go into you ML compared to the start of the season?

[itstroff]

I think I've had about 5-6 ML games since the data pack. Most of those games were quite high scoring, the CPU scored a couple of long range efforts and I've definitely seen a lot of really good saves too. That said aside from the keepers I don't think much will have changed, just a funny run of games.

[Mike]

I've (finally) started my ML, too. Scored an absolute worldie with Aubameyang - a dipping volley that I haven't seen on PES for a long time. Whether it was a one-off or something has been tweaked, it looked superb rifling into the top corner.

Downside for me so far is the fact that teams rarely come in for your players, even when they're transfer/loan listed.

I have found I have been able to get rid of a lot of players on loan and transfer wise by listing them.. Are you playing Challenge or Classic mode?

Me and the missus are loving our ML with Fulham this year, just snapped up the legend that is Erik Lamela and managed to win the Premier League as well which was right down to the wire! Release clauses are going to be our down fall though I think as everyone wants one! Really enjoying ML, I still maintain they need to do away with the regens and add some proper scouting depth so you can unearth new players. Would love to see that happen next year. Nothing worse than seeing the same recycled players popping up in your youth team, if Roque Santa Cruz appears in my youth squad next year then I am done
