PES 2013 Master League: A look at the game mode

Nearly all hardcore Pro Evolution Soccer fans love Master League for its unique take on team management, whether it be a real team like FC Barcelona, an unlicensed team or a fake team like PES United.



In PES 2012, Master League was relatively straightforward and seemed similar to FIFA 12′s Manager Mode. However, there have been notable changes made to the game mode for PES 2013. A controversial addition to Master League in PES 2013 is that every player starts off with generic, black boots. You can earn branded boots for your players by winning games; and every time you apply them to your players, you increase their attributes. You can also earn different items like bananas for your players to consume or training balls. The video above takes you through the transfers and basic layout of Master League. In future videos in this series, we will be using the new features on Udinese’s Road to Glory.

PES 2013 Player ID: A look at Andres Iniesta

When Konami were deciding on which footballers should have Player ID in PES 2013, Andres Iniesta was surely one of the first on the list.





The 2012 European Player of the Year is the third highest-rated player in the game – and after using him in a few games, it is easy to see why.

Iniesta does not possess the power of Portugal’s Ronaldo or speed of Lionel Messi; but his ball control, passing and dribbling are exceptional. In the video above, I demonstrate the Spanish midfielders’ skills by making him perform one of the most difficult moves in PES 2013: the Bergkamp flick.

Unfortunately, Master League Online is speed orientated, so a playmaker like Iniesta does not seem like value for money. Nevertheless, he is definitely worth purchasing in Master League offline due to his skills and the possibility of seeing his ratings increasing.

PES 2013 Player ID: A look at Carles Puyol

In our third article on PES 2013 Player ID, we examine Spanish defender Carles Puyol.
   


The Barcelona captain is the second highest-rated centre back in world football and was one of the players highlighted in Konami’s Player ID trailers before the release of PES 2013.

In the video above, we look at examples of his great tackling and defensive abilities when controlling FC Barcelona in online quick matches.

With Puyol, the thing that PES 2013 captures best is his signature defensive move, where he jockeys the opponent and then puts in a perfectly-timed tackle, which he has done a countless number of times over the years.

In our next Player ID article, we will be highlighting Andres Iniesta.

PES 2013 Player ID: A look at Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Sweden captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored arguably the best goal of the year against England on November 14, 2012, through an amazing 35-yard bicycle kick.


I decided to put Ibrahimovic’s Player ID to the test in PES 2013 to see if he possesses the skills and flair that he has in real life. With an overall rating of 93, he is the best centre forward and the thirteenth best player in the video game.

In the video above, you will see that Ibrahimovic’s strength and first touch are unrivalled. In fact, in some cases, his skills even outshine PES 2013 cover star Cristiano Ronaldo.

PES 2013 Player ID: A look at Gianluigi Buffon

Possibly, the most anticipated new feature of PES 2013 was the addition of Player ID. Player ID was added to 50 players and captures their real life motions and behaviour.



Player ID in PES 2013 was added to some of the highest-rated players, such as: Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez, Frank Ribery and Arjen Robben. A few young players – including Alex Oxlade Chamberlain and Neymar – also profited from the addition of that feature in the game.

In the video above, we review Gianluigi Buffon’s player ID in PES 2013, whilst we look at more than 20 other players.

In real-life, Juventus captain and goalie Gigi Buffon is regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in world football history.

In future PES 2013 articles over the coming weeks, we will be taking a more in depth look at each footballer’s Player ID.

PES 2013 Xbox 360 Kit Editing – Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Brazil

There has been constant problems surrounding the option files on PES 2013 for the Xbox 360 due to downloadable data packs so I decided to create my own jerseys instead of importing them from a saved file.

They are not 100% accurate but it is hard to see the minor differences while using the teams in a match.

Unlike FIFA, PES 2013 includes the option to edit kits with designs that are used on official Nike and Adidas jerseys. The first thing that you have to do is copy these designs from the videos and use the colours as shown.

The second thing that is required is to edit the markings on the kits (player name and number design).

Once this is done, the difficult part is creating the crest and writing the sponsors. This cannot be done perfectly so it may take a few attempts. On most of my PES 2013 videos, I show you how to make the crests.

For a kit like Arsenal’s, you must first make the Nike logo, then the Fly Emirates logo and import them as images onto the same chest logo design.

The PES 2013 videos below regarding Xbox 360 gamers show you how to make most crests.

I will be making more PES 2013 jerseys in the future, including those for Argentina and Liverpool. If you have any requests, please contact my youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/PESskillerHD

PES 2013 released on Nintendo 3DS in Europe

On Thursday, PES 2013 made its final console release – this time – for Nintendo 3DS.




This version of the game gives users the choice between two different control sets: the traditional system and the Touch Control – unique to the Nintendo console.

With this feature, gamers can play with the touch screen and stylus of the 3DS to control their players, pass and score goals to lead their team to victory, all in 3D.

PES 2013 on Nintendo 3DS features the same game modes as on other consoles on which it is available. As a result, it also comes with the officially-licensed UEFA Champions League and Santander Copa Libertadores competitions.

Above is a video of Shinji Kagawa demonstrating a PES 2013 match on Nintendo 3DS.
