As i said a few weeks ago, i'm currently testing the CPU behavior related to transfers in ML in different PES. I was quite surprised by some results. I always thought that in PES5 there were few transfers from the CPU, but it seems it is just slightly lower than in "high frequency" PES6/2008. The big difference is the fact that the CPU make more offers for your players in the latter. But yet some teams rarely buy players in the long term and thus there are a lot of aging teams over the years. The last PES in PSP are better in that regard, maybe due to the extra transfer windows rounds, but the CPU are still very passive.
The best transfer engine is surely in PES3/WE7I. There are a lot of transfers from the CPU teams every transfer window. And i think the option "Level of the players acquired" prevent some stupid deals from the CPU.
I will repeat it until the end of my life, PES3 is the game to play as far as the ML is concerned.
In other news, i scored a screamer yesterday with Kaka in PES3 from 27m. The shot was powerful, but a bit too much centred on the keeper, which funnily misjudged the trajectory of the ball. A kind of goal that feels "meh" in further editions IMO, but was so rewarding there, because so difficult to pull off in PES3. Indeed, long shots have to be either perfect to be scored or goalkeepers must make an error, which happens sometimes depending on the goalkeeper. Maybe, i'll upload the goal later. (Btw, where has the goal of the week competition gone ?)
and you can bet it wasn't because that became the standard behind the scenes option!and @fmicablues7

Another case of Konami removing a perfectly good option

I wonder if there's a way of emulating that with kingsley's ball physics, as you can now change the values yourself, so perhaps with a bit of tinkering?
The R2 close control implementation is the biggest issue for me in all series from its introduction since pes3? until today.The way they change it from game to game makes a game more or less playable or controllable.In pes3 i mainly used to make the sidestep.In a game with 8 degrees movement it was decent.In pes6 it was ok I agree with you after that in some games it is good in others is unusable I forgot in which specific versions.it got a nice boost with kingsleys work (internal res.), even juce updated his kitservers after that, so its not that bad, this is what got me into playing these old games again, as of now i think i revisited every title from pes 3 onwards up to 2018 several times, beside 2017 and 2016 i think, maybe 2008 as well xD
what i dont like up to pes5 is the R2 implementation regarding close control and finesse shot, pes 6 was the first imo to get it somewhat right
for example pes 3, if sprinting (R1 standard) and doing 45° move the ball is not far away from foot, but if simply running/or walking that is with R2 and doing the same the ball gets further away from foot which i think is a weird implementation, i know its there that players do not abuse the r2 running that much (slower run than with r1) but why does the player has closer ball control being faster? it doesnt make sense
this also applies to r2 shot which is barely implemented in pes 3 for example, sometimes it work sometimes not, dunno if its even there in the command list
in later games past pes 6 there is basically 2 types of r2 shot, the curler one is hold r2 all time while shooting, then there is also the more direct vs keeper like one putting ball more accurate in the corner you shoot then when player is striking the ball you start press r2 its even other animation..
if i want to do first type the curler in pes 3 it works but sometimes the "put ball away from foot" command is triggered first so no shot happens, the second type r2 shot is basically very hard to pull of because the r2 command works like super cancel it overriders shot so nothing happens aah
i wonder is there a better version of pes 6, for pc that is?
maybe even the american release or japan is somewhat different in some key areas, do you know?
ripping out good parts of the game on purpose.

@fmicablues7 , did you notice in later PES games, maybe PES 4 and 5, but definitely in PES 6 wide camera view is no longer nice and high in the stands to give a strategic image of the pitch, they moved it down to almost pitch level like the broadcast camera views.
As @mattmid always says, another example of Konami

(i wrote here in kitserver 6 thread)
ala noo 1.0 was better or nooo demo 1 or 2 was better blabla, these guys test the patches half year and do not even play the game properly only to find out thats not save the games lol, in doubt the earlier the gamecode the better 
, so just test 1.0 and move on..
