PES 2015 Plans

Hi guys, I hope you are all enjoying the PES 2015 Demo and my final PES 2014 update. Before I get into the main reason for this post I would just like to reassure BLAS users that the final update is coming, I'm about 50% through the conversion and it will be uploaded at some point over the weekend and then I will upload the ISL update for all versions. I still haven't played the demo, but will do so tonight and will post my thoughts sometime next week.

Now onto my PES 2015 plans, every year around July as I'm busy updating transfers and kits I start thinking about the new game and what I will do. Last year around this time I was pretty sure I wouldn't do a OF for PES 2014, but then I realised how much I would miss it and decided to continue. Even though I have always edited PES for myself I started releasing OF's from PES 2010 and have done so each year since. This year I'm thinking a little differently, so at this stage I won't be releasing a full option file, but I enjoy editing too much to give up completely so I will do something a little different instead.

I have two main reasons for my change of plans the main one being the amount of time it takes to create and maintain the OF, I don't want to release something half arsed or start a OF only not to finish it or stop updating it. I have always taken great pride in releasing updates right up to the start of the new game/season and I don't want to stop now. The second reason is the weekly updates from Konami that will happen this year, obviously until more news is released we don't know how this will impact OF's, but I hope my plans will stop this being a real issue.

What I'm plan to do is just create team imports, so instead of adding a complete file you will just be able to import the teams you want into your game, I will create imports for unlicensed in game teams so you can quickly import the kits/emblems for them. This means that even if the Konami updates mess up the edits each time you can just import the effected teams again each time rather than me having to fix everything every week. It will also give you all the freedom to create the game the way you want it rather than how I like it by changing what you want and exporting it to import back into your game after each Konami update.

Also with the return of the stadium editor I will create stadiums as well as long as the option is still there to export/import them so you will all be able to choose which stadiums you want in your game. Hopefully unlike PES 2013 there is no limit so we can have as many extra stadiums as we like.

At the moment this will all be for PS3, I most likely won't get a PS4 for 12 months, but if this changes then you can all expect PS4 content as well as PS3.

In regards to teams there are ones I will most likely make no matter what such as all the Bundesliga teams, but I'm open to suggestions, any team from any era. All suggestions are welcome, but if you want me to guarantee to create them the you need to make the following donations here http://bit.ly/1u1mVuv

AU$10 Any team created for PES2015 (PS3) with kit, emblem, players with correct stats and at least correct hairstyle, skin colour and boots accessories

AU$20 Any team created for PES 2014 and PES2015 (PS3) with kit, emblem, players with correct stats and at least correct hairstyle, skin colour and boots accessories

These donations need to be made by 10th October, if you can't make the donation throught that link then let me know and I will provide a alternate way. I'm sorry to keep asking for these donations, but it is something that is very important to me as my Dad, Grandfather and Father-In-Law have all died from cancer and so anything that can find a cure to this disease helps. Even if you don't want anything in return any donations are most welcome, I think the minimum is AU$2, even looking at just the downloads of the last version last time I checked that would be more than AU$4000 if everyone did that (I understand not everyone can).

That's about all for now, I will post more info on my plans as more details are released.

Cheers, Paul

Final Update (v3.2) Out Now

Hi guys, the final update can now be downloaded for BLES, BLUS and BLAS, as always there were things I hoped to get done but just ran out of time. I would like to thank all of you for pointing out errors and supporting the OF, but special thanks goes to Bhattu Krishna, Erik Durm, Duck No.99, 70y and Anthony Alcantar for the work they have done that has either improved the OF or saved me time to work on other things. Here is what's included in the update which again includes every file...

Transfers
As many transfers as I could possibly do have been done, this included creating 100's of new players and I only wish I had time to create more. The updated list is here http://bit.ly/1ru37iK those transfers in bold text are done and those in regular text are not done. The main reason for this is that the player isn't in the game and I didn't have time to make them, but a few are due to the team already having 32 players.

Line Ups & Squad Numbers
Line ups and squad numbers have been fixed for most teams, if you use a team that I haven't done then you can fix it in edit mode safe in the knowledge that I won't release another update that messes it up again.

Kits
Again Bhattu Krishna has been busy adding more new kits and I have done quite a few as well. I believe that every unlicensed Premier League, Bundesliga, J-League and Championship team now has their 2014/15 kit as well as quite a few unlicensed Liga Zon Sagres and Liga MX teams.

Copa Libertadores 2014 Players
While I was away Bhattu fixed all the remaining names of the Copa Libertadores 2014 players.

Player Appearances
I've added a few new appearances for players I have created and Bhattu has updated lots of player boots and accessories.

ISL
For those of you who prefer the ISL I will upload it in the next few days, sorry for the delay.

So that's about it for this years game, the PES 2015 demo is out tonight so I will give that a few games and then I might start a ML as I haven't played PES for a couple of months. Please remember that if you would like a team made for 2014 and 2015 then you can find the info here http://bit.ly/1DwXSDA

Cheers, Paul

Final Update News

Hi guys, just a quick post to let you all know that I'm still working on the final update. Still trying to fix all the line ups and squad numbers, once that is done I will release each version as it is ready.

Thanks for your patience, Paul

Team Imports

Hi guys, first up Happy PES 2015 Demo Day!!! The demo should be available from the PSN store sometime in the next few hours, hopefully I will be able to squeeze in a few games tonight after doing more editing. The final update is progressing nicely, 99% of kits are done, and now I'm just working on creating as many missing players as possible and fixing up the line ups/squad numbers. I don't have an exact day for release as yet, but it will be sometime Monday.

Now onto the main reason for my post, in 23 days I will be taking part in Relay For Life, a 24 hour walk to raise money for cancer research. I have received a few donations so far which I'm very greatful for, but I want to raise more, any amount you can spare is great, but this is what I will do for the following donations....

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. I will also create them for PES 2015 once it is released.

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.


Cheers, Paul

I'm Back!!!

Hi guys, just a quick post to say I'm back from my trip. While I was away I left the OF in the very capable hands of Bhattu Krishna, it's not normally something I can do, but while I was away he fixed the remaining Copa Libertadores 2014 player names, finished off the remaining Championship kits & updated lots of player boots which is great & I would like to say a massive thank you to him for doing that.

I've gone through Duck No.99's transfer page as well as the comments you have left on here & on my transfers page since I got back & updated my list. Check it & if you think something is missing now is the time to let me know. This week I will fix the team line ups, add as many missing players as possible & update a few more kits, then release the final update for PES 2014. Next week I will announce my plans for PES 2015 & of course the demo for it is out this week :)

Again I would like to remind you all that next month I will be taking part in a 24 hour walk for cancer research & I would love any of you who can spare some money to make donations. Any money donated to me by the usual way will be added plus if you want something special for PES 2014 then here are the options...

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.

Cheers, Paul

v3.1 Out Now

Hi guys, v3.1 can now be downloaded for BLES/BLUS, links are on the downloads page. Due to other commitments I didn't get as much done as I would like so this won't be the final version, there will be one more update in two weeks time. The update contains every file so is pretty big so take care when copying to your PS3 making sure every file has loaded before copying and say yes when asked to overwrite. Anyway here is what's included....

Transfers
I have done my best to update every transfer, now some haven't been done as I need to create the player still or because the team is full or the team doesn't have enough players these will be fixed in the next update. You can see the updated list here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hRs7_-vtQz82ppJlx8PAEd2cXKY8dZtLNxyOe7Jbn8w/edit?usp=sharing If you believe I'm missing anything then let me know in the comments.

Lineups & Squad Numbers
These have only been fixed for the Premier League at the moment, it's one of the main reasons there will be another update. It takes about an hour to do each league and I just didn't have time to get them all done sorry.

Kits
There are more new kits, mainly Liga Zon Sagres and Liga MX teams, but there are a few others as well. There will be more to come in the final update, again a big thanks to Bhattu Krishna for doing a lot of them for me.

Moreirense & Banfield
Both teams still don't have all their correct players as yet, again this will be fixed in the final update.

ML Fix
By removing all the other promoted teams the issue with European teams in the Copa Libertadores and South American teams in the Champions/Europa League has been fixed. You will need to start again if your save has this issue.

BLAS/ISL
There is no BLAS version sorry, I just don't have time to convert it sorry. If someone wants to convert it and send me the link then I will post it up, if not you will have to wait for v3.2. There is also no ISL version this time either due to a lack of time again I will make sure there is for v3.2.

That's about it other than a big thanks to Anthony Alcantar for converting all the files to BLUS for me. I will be away for the next week from tomorrow morning, so replies will be slow.

Have a great weekend, Paul

Transfer Window

Hi guys, so the transfer window is now closed for most countries so I thought I would post to let you know I have updated the transfers page here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hRs7_-vtQz82ppJlx8PAEd2cXKY8dZtLNxyOe7Jbn8w/edit?usp=sharing I've added all transfers I'm aware of & it now fully updated by tomorrow, I will update this post once I'm finished.

If you think I'm missing anything or something is incorrect then let me know in the comments.

Cheers, Paul
