In WE9/PES5, Konami further improved it. In WE9, Konami implemented the second growth feature and more Growth Trends. There're now a few main types that will be explain in the next part of the FAQ. Apparently, the Master League system had a drastic change. Classic Players no longer start at 17 yrs old, they start at whatever age they're at in matchmode now. When players retire, they don't re-appear either, new players replace them. On with player developing...! P.S. I've been recieving more and more emails about fixing player names. For one, this is a player training guide, secondly, I have given links for you to revise the names of players in the "FAQ" section of this FAQ. Read it. =()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()= -------------------- |[#2] Growth Trends| -------------------- I'll keep it simple. There are 3 main types of growth trends, but they vary a bit for each player. (Please bare with the ASCII charts). These 3 growth trends also divert into sub groups (two of them). The Short and normal growths both divert unti a Normal, Durable and Double growth type. Durable people last for 3 seasons, usually. Double growth player's second growth tend to be better than the first but that may not be the case every single time. (ia) :Short-Term Growth (ib) :Short-Term + Durable (ic) :Short-Term 2 Growth (iia) :Middle Growth (iib) :Middle Growth + durable (iic) :Middle 2 Growth (iiia):Long-Term Growth =()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()= => (ia) :Short-Term Growth | | /\ | / \_ | | \ | / \__ |/ \____________ | |___________________________ This type has been retained from WE8/PES4. It is specially for players who develop early in game but they dip really quickly. This is a early growth type of player. They gain a LOT of experience points so it would be wise to put them as substitutes. Even if they score a 6 as their match point, they would still gain a lot of experience, therefore there's no need to actually play them for the whole match. They are, as well the easiest players to train. I'll call them "Short-Term players" (STP). --> Good Examples of players with this kind of chart GK: CB: Kolo Toure / Mertesacker SB: Kabei SW: WB: DMF: CMF: SMF: OMF: Joe Cole WG: Robben ST: Rooney CF: =()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()= => (ib) :Short-Term + Durable | ____ | / \ | / \ | | \ | / \__ |/ \____________ | |___________________________ This is similar to the above trend, except players last a tad bit longer, what happens is, the player usually only lasts a season if he's a STP. For a ST-LL player, he can usually last a couple of seasons extra. --> Good Examples of players with this kind of chart GK: Buffon / Landreau CB: SB: Roberto Carlos SW: WB: DMF: CMF: SMF: OMF: WG: ST: Reyes / Del Piero CF: =()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()= (ic) :Short-Term 2 Growth | __ | _ / \ | / \/ \_ | | \ | / \__ |/ \__________ | |___________________________ This is similar to the above trend, except players drop at around 23 then come back at around 26. In general, these players are pretty easy to train like most short term Growth players. I'd recommend putting the players on loan until they actually regain their curve. --> Good Examples of players with this kind of chart GK: CB: SB: SW: WB: DMF: CMF: SMF: OMF: Pirlo WG: ST: CF: Baros / Mutu =()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()= => (iia) :Middle Growth | | _/\ | / \___ | / \ | __/ \ |/ \__________ | |___________________________ This is the normal growth speed. It's lies somewhat in the middle, or near the middle. Like STPs, this is quite similar, you gain quite a lot of experience and there is not a need to put the player on the starting Eleven and they only last a season or so. The best way to exceed the chart is to consistently get 7.0+ for your player score per match, and get as many awards as possible. Another method would be, loaning the player to another club, and retrieve him back later when his stats are usable. --> Good Examples of players with this kind of chart GK: Cech CB: Rio Ferdinand / Heitinga SB: Ashley Cole / Chiellini SW: WB: Cicinho DMF: CMF: Lampard / Fabregas SMF: Riise OMF: Kaka WG: C.Ronaldo ST: Bergkamp / Ronaldinho CF: Eto'o / Adriano / Poldolski =()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()= => (iib) :Middle Growth + durable | ____ | _/ \ | / \____ | / \ | __/ \ |/ \______ | |___________________________ Like the Mid Growth, these grow at 25~. These lasts a tad bit longer like the ST-LL Players compared to the STPs. Same concept, I guess I Don't need to speak much more! --> Good Examples of players with this kind of chart GK: Kahn / Toldo CB: Puyol / Coloccini SB: SW: WB: J.Zanetti DMF: Mascherano CMF: Iniesta SMF: Beckham / Figo OMF: Rui Costa WG: Robinho ST: Gudjohnsen CF: Henry / Gilardino =()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()= => (iic) :Middle 2 Growth | __ | _ / \ | / \ / \___ | / \_/ \ | __/ \ |/ \____ | |___________________________ This is a same as above, except with a 2x growth, usually involving a major decrease in stats between each growth --> Good Examples of players with this kind of chart GK: Dida CB: SB: Belleti SW: WB: DMF: Makelele CMF: SMF: OMF: Pires WG: Giggs / Van Der Meyde ST: Baumjohann CF: =()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()= => (iiia):Long-Term Growth | ______ | / \ | _/ \ | _/ \ | ______/ \__ |/ \ | \ |___________________________ Heck, these take FOREVER to train. Of course, it's hard like hell. It takes lots and lots of effort to exceed the actual curve. Anyway, I highly suggest that you actually loan them for a few seasons until they're useful enough for your squad. --> Good Examples of players with this kind of chart GK: CB: Maldini SB: SW: WB: Cafu DMF: CMF: SMF: OMF: WG: ST: CF: Alan Smith =()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()= Well, the important thing is: Buy the right players. Players who have great potential are USUALLY at around 700-1000. STPs who have great potential won't even cost up to 700. Well, they don't last long enough, do they? Now with the added feature in which you can tell if a player is growing or slacking, you can buy players with an assured success. This can be shown by pressing the right on the D-Pad again after checking out the chances of buying the player (star rating). =()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()= => Players with OMG growth curves: Okay, most of this will be either classic players or hidden ones, be prepared. If you don't want to use them, don't even bother with this part. --> Alan Smith - CF Okay, this is unbelievable. I screamed out loud when I saw his growth. It shoots RIGHT UP from the 80s to the 90s in 1 year or so. It's a MUST BUY. Guaranteed game success. He has 14 stats that're above/at 95 in my game right now and it's only 4 seasons. --> Baumjohann - ST He's in Shalke04. His curve is unbelievable. When you first have a look at his growing point when you're scouting, he's most likely having a decreasing growth. But when you actually sign him, he has a double peak growth. His peak (on his second growth) tips near the 95s. If he had special abilities he would be a monstrous striker/support forward. --> =()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()= => Stats that never drop. Never will. Yep. There are such stats which will never drop regardless of age. Konami emphasizes the fact that technique of a player will never decrease, as for any sport. Anyway the following stats will NEVER decrease, no matter what age is the player. --> Shoot Technique --> Technique --> Offense --> Defense --> Weaker Foot ability --> Weaker Foot frequency --> Curving the Ball --> Stamina --> All Stability Related Stats =()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()=()= ------------------------- |[#3] Experience points| ------------------------- Each position increases different stats of a player... if you want an all-rounded player, let him play all different positions. I suppose that it wouldn't work, but it's just a thought!

They were: => Team --> Right Corner Kick --> Left Corner Kick --> Short Pass --> Attacking --> Snatch the Ball => Individual --> Shooting --> Dribble --> Long Pass --> Freekick In WE9, there was a drastic change in Training. Now, you do specific training. Now you train with these, individually. -> Rest (Resting tired players) -> Scoring -> Drbbling -> Passing -> Defending -> Free Kicks -> Header -> Body Balance -> Speed -> Stamina -> Goal Keeping -> Teamwork I especially love the addition for speed. It was something that took ages to train up, even for a Side Midfielder.
