When using a new team and players in Master League, m圜lub, and Kickoff, using overall ratings to choose your players is the easiest way to get started. Try placing your players in different positions to find one that maximizes his ratings. Sometimes, his best position (in terms of rating) isn’t even the position that made him famous in real life.įor example, Messi is a 94 on RWF, but a 95 on AMF (at least in PES 2020. Putting a player in a different position will lead him to having a different rating. Consider if you wish to sell / release them to save player slots and budget for younger players, to keep them for nostalgia sake. Older players will see their ratings drop slightly every year as well, similar to real life. In Master League, look at their development graph, and focus on training up players with strong potential. Your players will increase in rating when you are playing Master League and m圜lub. In PES, player ratings can go above 100, which is quite interesting and will be surprising to most players who assumed a 99 max. This will give you a better sense of how overall ratings are computed in the game.

Next, adjust those that are not so important. First, try adjusting those that are crucial to his position e.g attacking abilities for attackers. Head to Edit Mode, select your favourite player, and adjust a few of his abilities. Most of your players will have a low rating, but their specialised skills enable you to play a game that suits your style. These players will help you play a better game as compared to fielding players with the highest ratings that may not match your style of play.įocusing on specific traits is also especially fun if you are using a lesser-known team to try and produce an upset. If you like to finess dribble past your opponents, play someone with high ratings in Tight Posession, Balance, and Ball Control.įielding a target man? Go for a player with high ratings in Heading, Jump, and Physical contact. You will have to look at specific individual abilities to decide on the best man for the role.įor example, if you like to charge down the flanks and play crosses in, find a winger with high ratings in acceleration, speed, and passing. While most players will use ratings as a guide to select the first 11, it isn’t everything. But in the game, he will have a better touch and can help you retain possession better So what if he can dribble or pass well? It won’t affect his overall rating much. His goalkeeping abilities strongly influences his overall rating. Defending abilities will not affect his ratings much.įor goal keepers, it is even more straightforward. Some are more important than the rest, depending on his positions.įor example, attacking players will have their overall ratings be heavily depending on attacking abilities, such as passing, dribbling, and shooting.

Player ratings are derived from a combination of his various traits. I hope that this post can shed some light into the player rating system. Is your 91 rated player better than his 87 rated teammate? Player ratings in PES can sometimes feel arbitrary and be confusing to new and seasoned players.
