Just waiting for online to be fixed on the PS3, then I'll be dipping in and out of it and talking about it on here as well as my ML. Not much, as ML is my first passion. The game might as well be called Master League 2008 for me. It's bloody hard this year, is ML! I'd say it's the hardest it's ever been. I think the main reason is the souped-up CPU performances against you when you haven't got players good enough to stop them. I don't ever remember the CPU teams playing like this against me in years past. I've just started picking up good results with better players (the blog is a day or two behind where I am now, today) and I notice that I can break up the kinds of attacks that always led to goals when I had Dodo and Ruskin and the rest of them. Still, I'm loving it, and finding Master League even more addictive and rewarding than ever. It makes me feel almost embarrassed sometimes reading about people who say things like 'Yeah, started my ML, got promoted first season, won D1 the next...' I think either they started at a lower difficulty setting or they started with a full squad of good players (i.e. not Castolo etc.). They don't exactly say which one it is, you'll notice...

It makes me feel almost embarrassed sometimes reading about people who say things like ‘Yeah, started my ML, got promoted first season, won D1 the next…’ I think either they started at a lower difficulty setting or they started with a full squad of good players (i.e. not Castolo etc.). They don’t exactly say which one it is, you’ll notice…

Not to sound to nasty but must say I'm glad someone else is struggling. I was going to get the game for my pc but rented it for my ps3 while visiting home from uni this weekend. Thought I'd see what the crack was about (first game fresh on it might I add!) Gosh I struggled, I thought since this wasn't my real ML I'd just stick myself in D1 and see how I did (thinking I'd be able to grind through like in the previous). How wrong was I! Lasted to half time with only 0-1 down, final score was 0-5 lol. Shocking. Still I was having doubts about even playing the new pes after such a caining but found faith in your blog. So thanks, I'll be reading your blog from now on, good luck with your challenge of promotion. I'm installing it on my pc as I type now, hopefully filled with the confidence of seeing its possible to move forward I'll be able to get somewhere. Once again, great blog I hope you keep it up as its quite refreshing reading about pes without it being back to back game reports (or bitching!). Paul (Paww2k6) P.S Must say its more fun to play as a multiplayer with friends now though with all of the hustle and bustle about it. :) I’m liking the blog mate, linked off your sig on pesfan.
