I’m recovering from surgery so have a few weeks off and basically bed bound, so been playing 2017 again, having never bought 2018.
It’s great, although not without it’s annoying idiosyncrasies. It’s defintiely too easy to build a great side in Master League and some of the players who pop up out of contract are ridiculous. Fun nonetheless and plays far, far superior to FIFA.
I may actually get 2019, although Master League is the only mode I really play. I’m not sure which PES it was where you started with the default players but a budget to immediately be able to sign a few players, like several decent cheap ones, loads of shit ones who were still better than the default, or one or two marquee players to rely on, all before you even entered the mode proper.
I may be imagining it but I vividly remember the names of those I used to rely on - Atiba Hutchinson, Jay Seilna, Loni, Diego, Park Ji Sung, Emile Mpenza etc. Beats playing that rock-hard nutter Dodo and the Olympic sprinter with eyesight issues, Castolo.
