Some News

Hi guys, just a quick update on my progress for next weeks final update. First up I'm still looking for one or two people to convert the files to BLUS and BLAS for me, I have everything ready to send to anyone who want's to do this so if you interested then email me paulc2478@gmail.com If I have to do it myself it will mean these versions will be delayed until after I get back.

Lots more new kits and transfers are done you can see the updated list of transfers here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hRs7_-vtQz82ppJlx8PAEd2cXKY8dZtLNxyOe7Jbn8w/edit?usp=sharing if you think I'm missing any non-European transfers then let me know.

Finally for today I've counted up the number of players I need to create (new signings/youth players) and it is over 700, now I know I'm not going to get them all done in a week so I will concentrate on creating players for teams that currently don't have many players and will make as many of the others as possible once they are done.

The final update will be released (barring any disasters) next Thursday or Friday.

Have a great weekend, Paul

Some News & Some Help Needed

Hi guys, I thought I would update you all on my progress as well as ask for some help regarding the final version of this years option file.

Some Help
In order to fix the ML issue I had to export all the teams I had edited since v2.8 & import them back in, this has mean't that almost all kits and emblems have changed position meaning the final update will include every file. Converting 700+ files to BLUS and BLAS takes quite a few hours so I'm looking for a couple of people who know how to do this to do it for me. I obviously don't expect this to be done in one go when the final update is ready, so anyone who takes this on will receive the OF as it is now to convert everything and then receive the updated files as I do them.

This means if you are happy to do it you will get the updates before anyone else, if you are interested in doing this then email me at paulc2478@gmail.com.

Final Update (v3.1)
The transfer window closes for most leagues on 2nd September and I'm going away for a week or so on 6th September so the final update will most likely be released on the 5th. Since the last update I have updated 100's more transfers and with the help of Bhattu Krishna have updated more kits and will continue to do so up until release. I will also do my best to fix up the line ups for as many teams as possible as well as add some other things. The transfers page was update a day or two ago so if you think I'm missing any non-European transfers then let me know.

What Happens Next
Once I back from my trip I will make a announcement about my plans for PES 2015, I don't have a PS4 yet so at the moment anything I decide to do for it will be for PS3. Normally I stop editing in September as the new game is released at the end of the month, but this year as PES 2015 isn't coming out until November I thought I would do something extra.

As I have previously posted in October I will be taking part in Relay For Life, a 24 hour walk to raise money for cancer research. I was asking for a AU$50 donation for teams, but I understand this was a bit to high, so instead I have come up with these....

AU$20 - I will create any team not in the OF for you that can be imported over any unlicensed team including kits, emblem and correct players with correct stats and at least the correct skin colour/hairstyle and accessories.

AU$5 - I will fix the appearances for every player for any team in the OF with at least the correct skin colour/hairstyle and accessories.

Donations can be made here http://fundraising.cancer.org.au/site/TR/RelayforLife/CCNSW?px=1018858&pg=personal&fr_id=1860 Once you have made your donation send me a email with the team you want and I will let you know when to expect it. If you want to donate but can't make it through that link then email me and I will give you a alternate way to donate.

That's about it for now.

Cheers, Paul

The ML Issue

Hi guys, I had a break from editing yesterday and today I started to test some solutions to the problem of European teams appearing in the Copa Libertadores and South American teams in the Champions/Europa Leagues. I thought maybe the issue was that Betis played in the Europa League last year so I just put them back, but it made no difference to the Copa Libertadores. Next I tried putting all the teams back, this again made no difference so finally I took v2.8 & switched all the teams except Betis and again the problem continued.

So this means that I won't be able to include all the promoted teams unfortunately without breaking the game. I still have a spare South American team so I will use them to create one of the promoted Argentinian teams (probably Banfield). In the non-licensed leagues I can create Koln and Paderborn for the Bundesliga and Moreirense for the Liga Zon Sagres they will just replace the existing teams of Nurnburg, Eintracht Braunschweig and Olhanense instead of being new teams.

The Premier Leagues teams have no issues as they were all already in the the OF and the same goes for the Brazilian and Liga MX teams. It will be a bit of work for me to fix the issues, but shouldn't impact on anything else.

Cheers, Paul

v3.0 Out Now

Hi guys, v3.0 can now be downloaded, links are on the downloads page. It contains.....

J-League
The J-League has been added to the OF with full squads and 2014 kits for most teams, the licensed teams kits can't be updated, but I will fix up the last couple unlicensed teams in the next update. In this version 4 ISL teams replace the licensed J-League teams in the ACL. Big thanks to Erik Durm for doing this for me as well as Muta who's 2013 teams Erik used as a base for the teams.

ISL
If you want to keep the ISL instead of the J-League then there is a second download, add the v3.0 update first then the ISL one. You will have everything else that is new in v3.0, but keep the ISL.

Promoted Teams
Caen, Willem II and Paderborn now have there correct players, remaining teams will be done in the final update, unless....

ML Issue
Some people have reported that European teams are appearing in the Copa Libertadores and South American teams in the Champions League. I gave it a try and got a few European teams in the Copa Libertadores, I don't know exactly what is causing this yet, but it may be due to moving hidden teams into the game. If it is then I will have to remove the promoted teams and put back the original teams.

Kits
Remaining PL kits have been done (West Brom away, Newcastle 3rd & Leicester). There are also a few other kits added and some others that have been improved. Big thanks to Bhattu Krishna again for doing a lot of them for me.

Player Appearances
I have added a few more player appearances, these are all for players I have created. Erik has told me that every J-League player has a appearance, but I haven't had time to check if they are just correct hairstyle and skin colour of full appearances. Once I do I will update the index.

Transfers
Lots more transfers have been done, I have updated the transfers page with everything I'm aware of. Most of these are done, but some still won't be due to squads being full or needing to create the player. I still haven't gone through the Ligue 1 or Other European Teams from Duck No.99's amazing transfers page yet and I would still like help from all of you regarding non European transfers.

Team Lineups
Just like the last update they are still messed up sorry, Again I suggest these quick solutions for the problem...

  • When playing ML/League modes fix your line up in the menu at it will be correct for each match.
  • If you use a team a lot in Exhibition mode then fix the line up in edit mode so it is correct each time.
They will all be fixed in the final update.

That's about it, I hope you all enjoy it and let me know if there are any issues.

Have a great weekend, Paul

V3.0 & the J-League

Hi guys, I have been away over the weekend, so sorry for the slow replies to your questions. This also means I'm only just starting to look at the work Erik has sent me for the J-League and I know he had a few issues regarding space for kits I need to fix. I will know later tonight how much work I need to do and will update this post as I go.

Due to the number of kits some teams may lose their 3rd kits to make space for the J-League kits as well as the kits I need to add for the promoted teams. As Erik has finished quicker than I expected I probably won't have completed all the players for the promoted teams for the release of v3.0, but hopefully I will be pretty close.

There will be other things included such as more new kits and lots more transfers as well. As I said this post will be updated through tonight as I add Erik's work and I will aim to release v3.0 on Tuesday or Wednesday.

*Update*
Just a quick update, I still have to fix a few more J-League kits so release will be delayed until tomorrow or Friday. Hopefully I will be done by tomorrow night, just depends on how long it takes to convert all the files once I'm done, but either way you will all have it for the weekend.

Cheers, Paul

v2.9 Out Now

Hi guys, v2.9 is now ready for download, it includes.....

Promoted Teams
Koln have their new kits, some teams have last seasons kits and some have no kits yet, I have added emblems for as many teams as possible, but can't do the rest due to the emblem limit. Koln, Cesena, Empoli, Palermo, Cordoba, Deportivo La Coruna and Eibar have the correct players (still some transfers to do), the remaining teams either have some players sone or none at all. Hopefully by the time Erik has finished the J-League I will have them all complete.

Relegated Teams
They have all been moved to the hidden teams so will still appear at random in ML/BAL. The licensed teams still have correct names, emblems and kits, the unlicensed teams (Nurnburg, Braunshweig, Olhanense) still have the correct kits, but default names and emblems. All teams still have the correct players and will continue to have transfers done as they happen.

Kits
There are lots of new kits, a big thanks again to Bhattu Krishna for doing a lot of them for me. All Premier League teams have new home, away and gk kits (except West Brom away) as well as some 3rd kits. All Bundesliga teams have new home, away and gk kits as well as some 3rd kits. There are also quite a few Championship team kit updates as well as some other teams. Hopefully by the next update the remaining kits will be done, please remember this excludes licensed teams as there is no way to update their kits.

Transfers
I have done lots more transfers although not all are done yet. I have updated my list & will continue working through Duck No.99's list of European transfers. No need to let me know of any European transfers, but I still need your help with other teams. No squad numbers have been fixed as yet.

Team Lineups
Most are still messed up sorry, I started doing them, but decided it I was wasting my time as there are still a lot of transfers to be completed. Here are a few quick solutions for the problem...

  • When playing ML/League modes fix your line up in the menu at it will be correct for each match.
  • If you use a team a lot in Exhibition mode then fix the line up in edit mode so it is correct each time.
Player Appearances
There are a few more player appearances added, mainly Koln players, you can see which ones have been added on the player appearances page.

There are probably a few other things that I have forgotten and if you have any issues let me know.

Enjoy, Paul
