v1.1 Out Now

Hi guys, the download links for v1.1 are now on the downloads page for both BLES & BLUS if you don't already have v1.0 then download & it it to your PS3 first. This is the first time I have converted the file myself so if the BLUS version works or doesn't work let me know in the comments. Anyway here's what's been added since v1.0....

Premier League
All teams now have Home, Away & GK kits, plus some teams have 3rd kits, I'm still working with 7oy to iron out a few issues with the PNG's so a lot of them will be updated and I hope to add more 3rd/4th kits in future updates.

Bundesliga
All teams have now been renamed with emblems added, I will start work on creating kits/players next.

Liga MX
All teams have now been renamed with emblems added.

Indonesian Super League
All teams have now been renamed with emblems added, I have also added the league logo.

SkyBET Championship
All teams have now been renamed based on the top 18 teams from the poll that has been running. The dreaded emblem limit has struck again so the top 8 from the poll have the correct emblem & the remaining 10 teams just have the league logo. Once I have created all the players I will put up another guide on how to switch emblems.

Other European/American/Asian Teams
All teams have now been renamed with emblems added.

I'm going on holiday for a week tomorrow and won't have my PS3 with me so won't be doing any editing other than making player stats ready to put in when I get back. I will have limited internet access so will do my best each evening to answer any questions you may have, please be patient if I don't get back to you straight away.

Have a great weekend, Paul

Remaining Teams

Hi guys, now the poll for Championship teams has closed I can confirm which teams will make up the 18 team Championship, plus info on the teams for the other South American and Asian teams. As previously confirmed the other European teams will be the 4 missing CL teams plus Dinamo Zagreb.

Championship

  • QPR
  • Leeds Utd
  • Millwall
  • Wigan Athletic
  • Blackburn Rovers
  • Nottingham Forest
  • Middlesborough
  • Yeovil Town
  • Birmingham City
  • Bolton Wanderers
  • Charlton Athletic
  • Sheffield Wednesday
  • Watford
  • Ipswich Town
  • Burnley
  • Blackpool
  • Reading
  • Huddersfield Town
In a few months once everything else is done I will hopefully make the other 6 teams as imports.

Other South American Teams

  • Atletico Nacional (Colombia)
  • La Equidad (Colombia)
  • River Plate (Uraguay)
  • Nacional (Paraguay)
  • Juan Aurich (Peru)

Other Asian Teams
  • Sydney FC (Australia)
  • Kelantan FA (Malaysia)
I have also decided that the ISL will be made up of the teams competing in the 2014 ISL as the promotions/relegation's for 2013 have been confirmed. I no there are other teams people would like to see, but this will be the final list. Hopefully (depending on time) I can make more teams/leagues for importing into the file.

Cheers, Paul

Konami DLC & Jailbroken PS3's

Hi guys, just thought I would post to reiterate something I have said before. To use my option file you need the latest Konami data pack which can be obtained in game when your PS3 is signed into the PSN. Obviously if you have a jailbroken PS3 you can't do this. I don't support jailbroken consoles so if you are looking for unofficial download links for data packs then I suggest looking elsewhere as I won't post them and will delete any links posted by others in the comments.

If your PS3 isn't connected to the internet and your PS3 isn't jailbroken then any downloads for data packs cant be added so I would suggest either getting your PS3 connected to the internet or taking it to somewhere where you can as there is no other way to get the updates.

Cheers, Paul

PES 2014 OF v1.0 Out Now

Hi guys, v1.0 of my PES 2014 is now out, the links are on the downloads page, it contains....

Leagues/Cups
All unlicensed leagues and cups have been renamed and have emblems added (except the ISL). Some look a bit pixilated, but I will fix them up in future updates.

Premier League
All team names have been corrected and emblems added. Arsenal and Aston Villa have basic home, away & GK kits. I started them, but the dimensions have changed so in the next day or two when improved PNG's are out I will improve them & add the remaining teams kits.

Liga Zon Sagres
All teams have been renamed and emblems added, kits will follow.

Bundesliga
In game teams have been moved to the league.

National Teams
All duplicate players have been replaced in the unlicensed teams and all fake players have been renamed. Kits will come in future updates.

Classic Players
Not touched yet, but they will be used to create current players.

Enjoy, Paul

Got It!!!!

Hi guys, I'm currently downloading PES 2014 from the European Playstation Store, it's over 7GB so will take a little while. Thanks victory_22 for the heads up, I wouldn't have checked until tomorrow unless you had said it was there already.

Once it is downloaded & I start on editing please go easy on me when it comes to questions of when I will have something to download, the more time I spend answering that the slower my editing goes. I hope that by Sunday afternoon/evening (AEST) I will have something uploaded.

Also mianly just for for other people in Australia it is only $69.95 from the store compared to the $84.95/89.95 at JB Hi-Fi/EB Games plus you get a few avatars, the classic kits & 3rd kits included.

Cheers, Paul

Championship Teams

Hi guys, as some of you would have noticed there is currently a poll on the side of my blog regarding which Championship teams you would like to see in my 2014 OF. As with previous years I can only make 18 in the main file, so 6 will have to be cut. You can each vote once for one team, and the top 18 based on the results, if there is a tie or less than 18 teams get a vote, I will select teams based on where they finished in the 2012/13 season.

Hopefully once everything else is done I will be able to make the remaining 6 teams as team imports for people who want the ones that don't make it into the main file.

Cheers, Paul

Indonesian League & Extra NT's

Hi guys, first up I want to address something I forgot to include in my last post, which is about extra NT's. I won't be able to add any extra NT's this year as there are no classic NT's in PES 2014. The other option (if there is a multiconverter this year) would be to replace one of the existing NT's, but I will not being doing this.

The other thing I wan't to talk about is the issue of the Indonesian League, a few of you have been saying that you would prefer the Super League over the Premier League. My reason for selecting the Premier League was that as far as I was aware it was the highest level of football in Indonesia as the Champions got a place in the ACL.

If I'm wrong on this and the Super League is in fact the top level of football in Indonesia then I will make it instead. Please let me know in the comments.

Cheers, Paul

PES 2014 Option Final Plans & Schedule

Hi guys, today I will outline my plans for my PES 2014 OF. The game is released next week in Europe, is normally released in Australia the same week, this would mean the 19th. Both major game retailers have until recently had the Australian release date as the 26th and in the last few days have changed it to 3rd October. I never believe them when it comes to PES though as this kind of thing happens every year here, a few years ago they had the release date as early November when in fact it was released in early October. If however it is released later here, I will try to get it from the Playstation Store instead so I don't have too much catching up to do.

Now a little bit of bad news, I going away from 28th September until 5/6th October (poor planning I know) so won't get any editing done during that time, the good news is that I have the week before that off as well so providing I get the game next week I will be able to dedicate all my time in that week to editing.

My plan is to get at least the unlicensed stuff like League names/emblems, Team names/kits/emblems and the NT player names fixed within 2 to 3 days of getting the game so I can release v1.0, I will then start on creating the extra teams so everyone can start on ML/BAL. I will leave appearances until after that as Konami will be adding lots of new ones with DLC.

This year there will be no schedule for updates, I will just release them as and when I feel there is enough new content to justify it or after any DLC that messes the OF up. I will aim for at least one update a month though, and obviously they will be more regular at the start as I'm adding all the new things in.

The four editable leagues will be used for the following...

  • Europe - Bundesliga
  • South America - Liga MX
  • Asia - Indonesian Super League
  • Div 2 - Sky BET Championship
These were all pretty easy to pick except for Asia, personally I would prefer to add the J-League or even the A-League, but there are so many fans of my OF in Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam that I knew I would have to add one of them. Indonesia was chosen as outside of the UK that is where the majority of people who visit my blog or download my OF are.

Now just as a small thing I want to point out after comments about the extra NT's I added for 2013, the Indonesian League is a weak league so the players will have pretty poor stats, also the appearances will probably all just be the correct skin color and hairstyle. If any Indonesians are not happy with that then I will make the J-League or A-League instead.

Now as none of the three leagues are 20 teams there will be a few teams left over that should go into the other teams sections for each region. There will be 5 from Europe (as 3 Bundesliga teams are already in the game) which will be used to create the four missing CL teams Austria Wien, Basel, Steaua Bucuresti and Viktoria Plzen. The fifth team will be Dinamo Zagreb.

There will be a least 2 from South America, possibly more if the in game teams from the Libertadores mode can be moved into the league, I haven't decided what teams to use these for yet, but they will be South American teams not already in the game.

There will be 4 from Asia, they will be used to make 2 A-League teams, 1 Malaysian team and 1 Vietnamese team that are not already in the game.

I will again update player appearances, but as I said earlier I probably won't do any until I have got all these extra teams created, but rest assured plenty will get done throughout the year.

This has turned into a much longer post than I thought it would, but finally at this stage it is unknown if there will be a converter that enables the use of PC editing tools although I expect there will be, it just may not happen for a few months. This means that I can't say what hidden extra things that may be in the game I will be able to edit and it also means that there may be no way to convert my OF to BLUS or Xbox. As soon as I have any news on this I will let you all know.

Have a great weekend, Paul

PES 2014 Editing News

Hi guys, as some of you will have seen there has been a bit more info released on editing options for PES 2014. I was told quite a bit of this previously but could release the info as it was still under embargo, but now I will fill you in.

Kits
As was previously announced there are now more options for editing kits, instead of just adding a PNG for the front of the shirt, it is now possible to add one for the front of the shorts, front of the socks and one for each of the sleeves. Also shirts can now have 5 layers, shorts 4 and socks 3 so kits should look even better.

It will be possible to add 3rd and 4th kits for unlicensed teams, but there is still only one GK kit. Some licensed teams will have the option of a 3rd kit through DLC, you may have seen one of the pre-order bonuses containing 3rd kits for Man Utd & Milan (plus a few others). I think I read that these would be released as part of data packs at a later date as well although I could be wrong.

Stats
Stats have changed slightly, some have been removed, some renamed and there are a few new ones. This means I will need to create stats for all the created teams again which I have already started doing.

Faces
First the bad news, it is not possible to use face scans in PES 2014 and because of the new engine a lot of players who previously had preset faces no longer do. On the plus side though Konami have announced they will be adding more presets through DLC throughout the year, they are even taking suggestions here http://winningelevenblog.com/blog/what-faces-would-you-like-added-to-pes2014-after-release/ . Also the face build option has had a revamp and it is no possible to get even better results, so face scans might not be so much of a loss after all.

Editable Leagues
As I said a few weeks ago there are now three editable 1st divisions (containing 20 teams) and 1 2nd division (18 teams). I was right and each of the 1st divisions is locked to a region, so one for Europe, one for South America and one for Asia. Each of these three leagues can be adjusted to contain 14, 16, 18 or 20 teams. If you reduce a league to 18 teams I don't know what happens to the other 2 teams as yet, but I would guess they become other teams for that region (lets see if I'm right this time).

Team Emblems (Edit)
Can't believe I posted without including this, one of the best bits of news is that there will be no limit on the number of team emblems. This means no more Championship logo for all the Championship teams, every team will have their correct emblem.

That's about it for the moment, let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them. Tomorrow I will post a basic plan for my 2014 OF containing a schedule and what I plan to include.

Thanks for reading, Paul

Final Update (v2.8) Out Now

Hi guys, links for the final version of my PES 2013 OF are on the downloads page, it contains...

  • More transfers
  • More new players
  • A few more new kits
  • A few player appearance updates
Just a few notes, some transfers haven't been done as either the squads are full or I ran out of players to create new ones. I will try to update the transfers page in the next day or two to highlight the ones that aren't done so you can replace youth players with the new signings yourselves if you wish.

Also before anyone asks, if you want to use the extra teams you will need to add them yourself just like with the last update. Instructions are on the Replacing Teams page. My reason for this is I primarily make this OF for myself and I have a ongoing BAL that I don't want to ruin.

Just as a note to BLUS users, there are a couple of NT kits that are missing, I will add a extra download link as soon as the files are ready.

I would like to say a huge thanks to 7oy for converting the file to BLUS & Xbox for me as well as a lot of other help he has provided. Also thanks to Pablinho & Marc who between them at different time have made the alternated editdata file with Championship emblems.

Finally I would just like to say thank you to you all for using my OF, I hope you have enjoyed using it as much as I have enjoyed making it. I have already started work on the preparation for my 2014 OF, I will post a few details regarding timescales and what I can confirm will be included in the next few days. I will also tidy up some of the pages in preparation.

Enjoy, Paul

Final Subscriber Update

Hi guys, I have just sent out the final subscriber update for PES 2013, it contains more transfers and created players. Some transfers are still not done as the squads are full, there are also some that haven't been done because I ran out of players to create new ones. Hopefully for PES 2014 we will be able to have bigger squads and create a unlimited number of players.

I would also like to thank everyone who has supported me by subscribing and I hope you all have enjoyed the weekly updates. The final regular version (v2.8) will be out at some point on Monday.

Have a great weekend, Paul

Transfer Window Closed

Hi guys, as most of you will know the transfer window closed a few hours ago and as always the a lot of transfers happened on the final day. I have updated the spreadsheet with all the transfers I am aware of, take a look at it and if you think I have missed something then let me know in the comments. As always I have ignored loans where a player has gone to a team not in my OF or if it is only a one month loan.

I will respond to all your comments, unless it is regarding a transfer that is already in my spreadsheet. Also please remember to add official links confirming the transfer (club website, BBC/Sky (or equivalent).

Cheers, Paul

Transfer Deadline Day

Hi guys, as you will all know today is the transfer deadline, I have updated the transfers page with all the deals I am aware of up to yesterday. I will be following all the deals today, so rather than post transfers as they happen wait & I will update the transfers page tomorrow, then you can all let me know if I have missed any.

This will make it easier for me so I don't have to read through lots of posts telling me that Bale has signed for Real or Kaka for Milan. Also when you do start posting transfers don't forget a official link (club website).

Cheers, Paul
