Deemaz patch
02/22/2010 - Deemaz patch  (posted by Ike)
As of now, the previously optional Deemaz patch is required for all evo-league games, as this is required by PES6J which most of our players use nowadays. Read the tutorial to learn how to install it, general patch discussion should go here.

If using a different patch caused any problems on PES6J before our apologies go to their community, we were not aware this was an issue as we only play games against each other, and as far as I know it's not possible to play with the Deemaz patch against the ISS patch we previously used.

Hello newcomers!
02/02/2010 - Hello newcomers!  (posted by Ike)
New players have signed up recently, welcome aboard! If you haven't already, please read our rules page carefully. Most important: To report an evo-league game against someone, your opponent must at least be logged in on this site or your game reports will be deleted. Preferably, both of you should be in our chatroom.

In other news, Markey has won our 64th Mini Tournament yesterday - well done! Watch the forums for upcoming tournaments.

Finally, it's time to announce when the current season will end. You have until this Friday, February 5 to improve your position.
New season and tournament
12/18/2009 - New season and tournament  (posted by Ike)
As Konami seems unable to fix the problems with PES 2010, we'll probably be playing our freshly patched PES 6 for another year. We've had a few sign-ups and some regulars might also dig out their copy over the holidays, so I'll start the new season on Saturday.

Thanks to kingofpro we've had a successful little PES 6 mini tournament recently, so why not have a proper tournament once again? If you're interested or you have ideas, post in the PES6 Christmas tournament thread!
Season final delayed

As you may have noticed above, there is no end date set for season 46 yet:

Season 46 (11/01/2009 - ?)

This season will probably end in late December or early January when a reasonable amount of games have been played. Stay tuned.

10/22/2009 - PES 2010 released!  (posted by Ike)
The heat is on! PES 2010 is now available for PC, PS3 and XBox. Before you can play and register ladder games with any of these versions, make sure to edit your profile and add PES 2010 to the list of games you have. Also set your 'default game' to the game you play the most. Be sure to post your impressions and questions either in the general PES 2010 thread or the PES 2010 thread for PS3!

The Yin & Yang leagues were also finished today with Akaash winning Yin as Schalke 04 and kingofpro winning the Yang league playing with Everton. Well done guys!

I've also worked on a little update for the Team Standings, you can read all about it HERE.
League deadlines
10/12/2009 - League deadlines  (posted by Ike)
The final deadline for the Yin & Yang leagues is

Wednesday, 21st October

where you should have played all your games. You can play as many opponents per day as you like.

Players who have let us down by only playing a few games will definitely not be included in our upcoming leagues or tournaments, be it PES6 or PES 2010.

Speaking of PES 2010, it's only a few days away now! As usual, we'll support the new version on evo-league for all major platforms as soon as the game is in the shops.

It's that time of year again where we all start getting super excited about the release of a new Pro Evolution Soccer. Well, now you can play the demo and join our debate about whether this game is better than the previous installments.

You can download the PC demo here.

So, download the demo, try it out, and tell us what you think!

In Yin/Yang League news, a new rule has been made so check that out here and be sure to play 8 games before Sunday, where I will be introducing the first deadline.

While many of you are out and enjoying your holidays, we've got some new winners to announce. The previous ladder season was won by Markey again, his second ladder win and he only joined just a few weeks ago!

Evo Cup 5 is also over with FidoDido beating Markey in the final. Finally Serie A has come to an end as well, again it is Markey nailing the top spot with his team Reggina Calsio. Congratulations!

As usual, a lot of beautiful goals have been scored last season. You can watch them all in kingofpro's great video posted in our GOTS competition thread - don't forget to vote!
100.000 games played
07/27/2009 - 100.000 games played  (posted by Ike)
We made it! Last night, the 100.000th valid game has been registered on evo-league. Since we started back on November 21st in 2004, that makes an average of about 59 games played a day - not counting league and tournament games. Not too bad is it!

Things are going slower over the summer time as every year, but remember we're still running Serie A and Evo Cup 5. Our semi finalists in the latter are Markey vs. Skillardinho and The Finge vs. el-terrible - see their stats here and vote for your favourite here!

There are also open spots to play in Serie A - if you're interested in taking over a team, please post in the Reserves Thread.
Server switch

evo-league has moved to a new server. This means both the site files and the database have been moved, and we're running on PHP5 now instead of PHP4.

Season 41 is over! Congratulations to Markey winning his first ladder title with only three defeats - almost as good as gecko in season 35. With the new season starting today, I have added a separate ladder for all 2on1 and 2on2 games. No worrying about your ladder stats anymore when playing in a team with someone else! You can read all about the evo-league v5.4 update and post your comments HERE.

If you're a Serie A player, remember you need to have 16 games played by Friday as recently posted in the Serie A Rules thread. You should also try to get your Coppa Italia games played as soon as possible.

Last but not least, Evo Cup 5 is finally underway. Remember you must get your first round games played by this Friday!

Time for more trophies! The 6th Newcomer Award goes to two players this time - Akaash and Tjule.

In the final of the UnderWorld Cup, TurkMania's FC Basel beat The Finge's RSC Anderlecht with 3-2. Congratulations to all winners!

The Serie A started just two days ago and over 100 games have been played already. Try not to play all your games already so the slow starters have a chance to find opponents, and be careful you follow the current game limits!

Season 40 was one of the most exciting in a while, thanks to the guys over from ProSuperLeague joining in on the fun. After a tight battle with TurkMania, PSG-lover Akaash came out on top - congratulations! All praise for the winner goes here.

With the new season starting, the Bundesliga 09 has come to a close. The Finge has won both the league and the DFB-Pokal with Hannover 96 - quite an achievement indeed! Tell us how you liked it and see what the others have to say here.

We're in our forties now! Congratulations to The Finge to his fourth ladder win, bringing him closer to the top spot in our Hall of Fame. Last season's best goal was scored by Jakuchu winning the GOTS 39 poll - well done!

As we're trying to make the ladder easier to manage and concentrate on running leagues and tournaments, the rule that both players should be in the chat when playing will be enforced more strictly. If you report and can't be there, explain that in your game report. Also, we will not accept sign-up emails anymore that are not self-written and obviously just copied from a template.

Finally, please note that most of us now use the PES6J server to play league games, so please read and follow the Playing PES6 online - using PES6J tutorial as soon as possible!

PES6 and PES 2009 updates
02/10/2009 - PES6 and PES 2009 updates  (posted by Ike)
The official Konami servers to play PES6 online have been closed just a few days ago. However, it looks like some guys built a launcher so we can still play. You can read all about it here. Remember you can still play and register evo-league ladder games with PES6!

For the latest and greatest *cough* game, PES 2009, Konami announced a free update due for download at the end of February. It looks like it will be a roster and stats update, there's no mention of improvements to, let's say, how well the game works online. You can read the official news here.
Happy new year!
01/07/2009 - Happy new year!  (posted by Ike)
Hi folks! Due to an overwhelming interest in our forums *cough* one of the forum database tables has been corrupted. It's all fine now.

Apart from that, there's nothing new except the year. Unfortunately, no games have been played for weeks. Looking at other sites it's obviously not an evo-league but a general PES 2009 problem, so we're not going to try generating interest in the game.

I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but we can only hope Konami learns from this year's online disaster. I will pay for the site hosting in 2009 even though it isn't covered by donations anymore.
Playing policy
10/28/2008 - Playing policy  (posted by Ike)
With PES 2009 we're back to one player hosting the full match, so please always try to play two matches against an evo-league opponent, one as client and one as host. For now this is not a strict rule but a matter of fair play, as our aim should always be to give everyone a fair match.

Our players have different setups and problems - for example, some might be able to play fine as client but cause a lot of lag when hosting. Talk to your opponent about your playing experience to work out your best setup. If you have problems or other info to share, please do so by posting in the PES 2009 Online thread.

No 2on2 again
02/29/2008 - No 2on2 again  (posted by Ike)
Unfortunately, the 2on2 tournament didn't get enough players yesterday again. Our original plan of stringing several mini tournaments together for a bigger one obviously doesn't work, so the recent 2on2 will be counted as regular mini tournament. Further mini tournaments are possible, but you'll have to declare your interest on the forums to see it happen. Thanks to urke who spent three evenings on this, at least we got one tournament played.

On a different note, the World Leagues are almost over, you have until this Sunday to get some or all of your remaining games played. For those who made no effort getting their games played - shame on you, and don't expect to participate in future events. For the rest, we hope you had some fun and that it was worth setting it up for you.

Yeah I know, I'm late. We're happy to see that the daily games count has increased lately, so what does this mean for us in the long run?

First, we're planning to bring back the mini tournaments on a more regular basis, so if you want to compete, make sure you're in the chat on Sunday evenings so we have a fair amount of players to get this going. We're also thinking about launching new leagues soon, maybe even one for PC and XBox 360 each, so watch this space!

Speaking of XBox and PS3 players, if you want the mini tournaments and leagues happen for you, make yourselves heard by posting on the forums, and maybe get a few more players in. We have a good history of leagues and tournaments for PC versions, but these only work well with your input and ideas.

Yes it's true, we're kicking it old-school and reviving these old classics. We originally switched it off because we had too much work administrating it, but these days there's no reason to not have it running parallel to the regular PES 2008 ladder.

To play evo-league games, you should download the PES4Online launcher. We still have our own evo-league room there, which is actually the channel #pes4online_evo-league on Quakenet, so you can idle around there parallel to being in our regular #evo-league channel. Only games played in that room are valid evo-league games!

Depending on your default game version, you'll see the standings for your ladder on the front page. Of course, you can always browse the full standings of the PES4/WE8I ladder and the regular ladder.

All further details and comments go HERE. Have fun!

11/13/2007 - Yes, we're still here  (posted by Ike)
Two weeks have passed, and still we don't get the online experience we expected. One might think Konami would finally put some additional manpower (paid for by OUR money) into fixing the problem, but as usual, this doesn't seem to be the case. To the decreasing number of players who didn't already return their game, let's hope for another patch that fixes the most annoying issues.

We had some nice new additions planned for this year, but with the current amount of games it doesn't make sense to put work into it. We'll give it another few weeks to see if things improve, and if it makes sense to launch major leagues and tournaments anytime soon. Until then, stick around, and we hope you'll get some enjoyable games played.
PES 2008 online? You wish.
10/29/2007 - PES 2008 online? You wish.  (posted by Ike)
As usual, Konami chooses to annoy their loyal customers with serious online problems days after the game release. If you're lucky to get a game played, beating both the connection issues and ridiculous game speed problems, well done!

For our newcomers and especially those not playing the PC version - make sure you and your opponent are in the chat before the game, or at least visit the site before you start the game so your name appears in the 'Last online' bar below. We check the games against the access and chat files, so your games may be deleted when there's any doubt. We may also request a screenshot from your 'Last 20 games' screen if there are problems.

I hope this doesn't spoil your fun - if you like it here, be sure to tell players you meet online about us!
All PES 2008 versions now supported!
10/24/2007 - All PES 2008 versions now supported!  (posted by Ike)
Konami are bringing up their servers, and it's only a matter of time until we get the first games played, so we're happy to announce that you can now report PES 2008 games on evo-league playing either the PC, PS2, PS3 or PC version. The games go in the same ladder as PES6 games for now.

To report games, don't forget you need to edit your profile and select the game versions you have - I also recommend changing the 'Default Game' setting there.

Lastly, share your experiences and problems in the PES 2008 - Online thread as we still need to figure out what lobbies etc. to use - see you there!
PES 2008 out this week
10/22/2007 - PES 2008 out this week  (posted by Ike)
The long wait is almost over - PES 2008 is going to be available for all major platforms later this week. Apparently it's already being sold in some shops in the Netherlands too.

As usual, we're working on the site to enable playing evo-league games with these new versions as soon as Konami brings up their servers. In addition, we're trying to add new things that will make this another fun PES/WE year for you here.

While you're waiting, don't forget to take a final look at some PES6 beauties by voting in our Goal Of The Season 31 competition!

Another season over, congrats to TurkMania aka Borg for winning the ladder two times in a row with a winning percentage of 82,6% and only 190 scored goals in 76 games. Also noteable how LeeM grabbed a medal for 6th place with 173 goals scored against him - but you can all see it browsing the previous seasons section yourself.

The SNL has come to an end as well, and it's no surprise the winner is Knockout with Sweden! Your medal is on the way, don't forget to show off and post an image of yourself with it!

PES 2008 Demo!
09/24/2007 - PES 2008 Demo!  (posted by Ike)
Everyone's getting pretty bored with PES6, so it's good news that the PES 2008 demo was released on the XBox Live marketplace a few days ago. If you missed it, you can read what we think about it in the PES 2008 - Demo Impressions thread.

The PC demo is OUT NOW! Use this torrent link to download. Check winningelevenblog.com and our chat for more download locations, and don't forget to post your own review after you played it!

Having played the 360 demo myself and looking at the possibility that PES 2008 PC is going to have a LAN option, I think we're looking at a bright league future.

The new season is on! Congratulations to gecko and oliver_serbia, the ladder winners of season 17.

Attention PES4 players! With many new players joining recently, we have noticed that many do not stick to the rules. We will remove players not following the rules quicker from now on - so go read them again!

The main problems are with players playing as host only. Remember that a match in evo always means playing one game as host and one as client. If you report games against a client-only player, clearly state that in your game comment. Games with no descriptive comment and no client rematch may be deleted instantly, and players may receive a yellow or red card. You can help us by posting about strange games on the forum to make the ladder more fair for all players. If this doesn't work, we may soon close the PES4 ladder altogether.

In our first inter-site ladder tournament against the guys over at pesladder.com, our players WhatsNext, TurkMania, I-I-I-I, Cobretti, gecko, Sheepshagger, the-gunner, Robinho, kingofpro and Atoldid a very fine job and came away with a stunning 23:5 win. Splendid work guys!

Even more important than the success is that we have proven to be a great community with fair players, you represented us very well no matter if you won your game or not.

Ladders separated - WE9I added!
03/01/2006 - Ladders separated - WE9I added!  (posted by Ike)
The new season has started, congratulations to our new Champion gecko winning his first ladder cup. I've been working hard to bring you a feature you requested, splitting the ladder into separate PES4 and PES5 ladders. Depending on what you selected as your default game in your profile, either the PES4 or the PES5 ladder will appear on the index page. You're still free to play different versions of the game as before, so you can be in both ladders at the same time.

With the release of Winning Eleven 9 International, we now support this game on evo-league as well. It's basically the same game as PES5, so it belongs to the PES5 ladder. If you play this game, remember to edit your profile and add WE9I as one of your game versions. This update was a little rushed, I had little time to code and test it, but I wanted to release it already for this season. Please post any errors you may find in the update thread.
Fresh blood - your help needed!
02/16/2006 - Fresh blood - your help needed!  (posted by Ike)
It's been a bit quiet on the news front lately as the head administration of evo-league has moved into a bigger office. As you may have noticed already, Atol is our current ladder champion and the-gunner has won the Goal Of The Season competition with a great goal that you can see in the Goal Gallery forum. Well done guys!

As the league is evolving more with national leagues and great tournaments like the RoW Cup or the UEFA Cup going on, we really need some new PES5 players to keep things going and interesting for everyone. If you're an active PES5 player, please spend some time in different lobbies and write chat messages like 'join us at www.evo-league.com' to other players or sometimes in the public chat.

We don't want to annoy anyone, but I'm sure there are many people out there that would like to join a good community - so if you meet a nice player, spend a minute or two to tell him about us. Please post your comments and ideas on this HERE, thanks!

Ho-ho-ho. Right before christmas, we bring you a nice update introducing two main new features! The first is the selection and display of team badges. You can now specify one or two favorite teams in your profile. These will be your default options when you report a game and select the teams used. The team badges will then appear on the games lists.

The second addition is a new page for the English Premier League, our first national league competition. It will show all the played games and a realtime league table, simply click EPL in the main menu to go there.

This was a rather big update, and it would not have happened without the help of you guys. Many thanks to FrSl, the-gunner, kingofpro, Atol, Sheepshagger and Adman for your great work. Read more in the v3 update thread and let us know what you think!

PES4 - going back to green arrows!
11/14/2005 - PES4 - going back to green arrows!  (posted by Ike)
The latest poll has decided that we're going back to using green form arrows for PES4. If your opponent is using grey arrows, ask him nicely to change the arrows or play with grey if you both agree.

After the game has started, the grey arrows are NOT a valid reason to quit the game. In three days, all PES4 games should be played using green arrows again. By the way, why are you still playing PES4? Go buy PES5 for the full evo experience!

On a different note, it looks like not all players have yet found our new community home, the evo-league chatroom. Even if you don't play PES5, why not hang around with us other league players and play some sports trivia!

10/30/2005 - PES5 for PC, PS2 and Xbox is out!  (posted by Ike)
PES5 is now available for PC, PS2 and XBox. Since there's no direct IP connection feature in the game (yet), we will allow evo-league games in PES5 to be played without using a launcher. If you already have the game, please post in the PES5 League Players List so it's easy to find other league players.

The usual rules apply with the following exceptions:

- ALWAYS do the player identity verification!
- Use GREEN form arrows
- Since both players host one half automatically, a rematch is not needed

Now get playing guys!

The new season started off well, Antrax is our champion for season 7. The Goal Gallery that was introduced last season was received well and many players posted their best goals. Check it out if you haven't already, and post your own goals!

When a new season starts, the best goals from the previous season will be picked for the Goal of the Season competition. The poll to find the best goal for season 7 is already running, so go there and vote!

Our sign-up administrator Stormrider in on vacation and I'm very busy these days, so new players may not get an instant reply to their requests. Please be patient or try again in a while. PES5 is just around the corner, and we're planning to incorporate PES5 games into evo-league as soon as there is launcher support for the game.
PES 5 demo leaked!
09/15/2005 - PES 5 demo leaked!  (posted by Ike)
Just like every year, the demo is not released officially but is coming to the fans through mysterious channels. Intention or fault? Who knows. Anyway, I think it's safe to say that they have not messed up the game when porting Winning Eleven to PES this year, so you can expect a great game.

So what are you waiting for? Go see it for yourself and download the file using one of the links provided in the PES5 Discussion thread in the forum. I think the demo features four teams and playing one half, but a trainer to extend the game time is already available! News on kit patches or similar useful mods and tools will be posted in the same thread when they become available. After you tried the demo, don't forget to post your impressions and maybe some nice screenshots for the others to see!
Goal Gallery, Tutorials & first PES5 review!

The forum has been revised and two new sections have been added. The Goal Gallery features the best goals recorded by our players. At the end of the season, a poll will be held to decide the Goal of the Season, so get going and show us your best goals!

The Tutorials section explains in detail how to record videos of your goals and publish them. Another important article you should read is how to detect intentional laggers for a league as clean as possible.

PES 5 is just around the corner, the PS2 UK Magazine rated it and gave it 10/10! Be sure to read the article in the forum. My older Winning Eleven 9 Review may also be a good read if you wonder what you can expect of the new game and ask questions.
Grey arrows won!
09/05/2005 - Grey arrows won!  (posted by Ike)
It was close, but the poll has decided for grey form arrows (the down arrow) to be used for the current season. For the next three days, hosts using green arrows are valid, but tell them to use grey arrows next time.

After 09/09 12:05 am, only grey arrow games are valid. If you have a host using green arrows, complain before the game starts. After the game is started, this is not a valid reason to quit. Before this season ends, we will decide again how to go on based on your experiences, so don't forget to tell your opinion in the forum.

An update that went quite unnoticed was done last friday, adding a Champions page where you can see all past season award winners as well as an overall ranking. You can access it by clicking "Champions" in the online bar below. The forum thread for the update is here.
New season & form arrow poll
09/01/2005 - New season & form arrow poll  (posted by Ike)
Season 7 has started today, congratulations to Cobretti for winning his first Gold Cup after three Bronze and one Silver Cup, and of course to all other players earning an award.

There's a discussion in the forum going on whether we should change the form arrows rule from green to gray for a while. The poll will end in three days, so take a minute and cast your vote after you've read the other player's comments. I think a little change would be refreshing until PES5 comes out.

The tournaments are starting again after the summer break, if you're still active in one of them don't forget to contact your opponent soon and play your games.

Stormrider tested the new design all common browsers so I hope there are not too many errors. If you find some anyway, post them in the update thread as usual, along with any comments or suggestions you may have.

It may be annoying but I have to bring up the donation request again. If we don't get enough donations to pay for the hosting for another year, the league will close in two months, so invest five minutes of your time and read the donation page to see what you can do about this. Thanks to all players that have already donated and shown their support.

As described in the forum, a new warning system has been introduced. Instead of banning users straight away, players will now see a red or yellow card along with a reason on their profile. For the statistics page, views for 'Best Offense' and 'Best Defense' were added.



Don't forget the season ends on Sunday night. The rules are the same as described in earlier news items, so if you're unsure how the season end works, read up on it!

Hi all,

I was just testing some code changes on my local machine and forgot to turn off email sending. If you received an email telling your account was passivated because you haven't played in the last 12 weeks and this is not true, don't worry, your account is still active.

I posted the same in the forum, feel free to comment there.

Congratulations to gasolino for winning season 4 and all players getting an award. The new season was started by Stormrider yesterday, he can now administrate some of the evo-league functions, handles the player sign-up and is the first man to ask if there are problems. Thanks for your help dude!

For the new season, remember to play by the new rules, using green form arrows and Club House as stadium. If you're playing in one of our tournaments, remember the deadlines for your games and to contact your opponents in time. Check the forum often and post reasons if you can't play your games. If you don't, it's hard for the tournament organisers to keep going and you may not be able to play in future tournaments.

Season 3 will end tonight at 12:00 am CEST. Like last season, do not start any new games after 11:15 pm apart from rematches. Single games with no rematch will be deleted at 12:00 am before the new season starts. Any complaints about games should be posted at least six hours before.

The second round of the Evo Cup is running already with some interesting games to come, and the World Cup is going to start in a few days! If you're quick you might still get a free spot to play, check out the forums for all details.
First tournament - starting soon!

The new season has started.

I hope everything works well, I'm not at home atm.
The end is near
04/29/2005 - The end is near  (posted by Ike)
The current season will end on May 1st, 12:00 am CEST (Saturday night). A new season will start after a downtime of about ten minutes.

Do not start any new games after 11:15 am on April 30 apart from rematches. Single games with no rematch will be deleted at 12:00 am before the new season starts. Any complaints about games should be posted at least six hours before.

Please take a minute to read and comment in this forum thread on what a new design for evo-league could look like!
Beware of fakers!
03/19/2005 - Beware of fakers!  (posted by Ike)
With more users unable to play in this league, we have more people pretending to be someone else to mess everything up.

To prevent this, verify your opponent's identity as described in the rules before every game.

Games against users that have not logged in to the site before the game and appeared in the 'last online' bar below may be deleted if there is any doubt.
Rules update
03/15/2005 - Rules update  (posted by Ike)
Please not the following addition to the rules.

Games are always to be reported after the rematch. Only report a game without a rematch if your opponent remains unreachable for more than an hour or if he refuses the rematch. If there was a disconnection involved, read the disconnection rules on how to deal with disconnections.

If you report a single game, give the reason for it in the comment. Also consider to post in the forum. Single matches that do not have a descriptive english comment with a reason are likely to be deleted.
A new season starts!
03/13/2005 - A new season starts!  (posted by Ike)
The new season has started, congratulations to our league champion Maradona! I hope everything works well with this evo-league v1.2 update. The main new user features are:

- seasoning and player history
- standings views for continents, regions and countries
- new profile options: nationality and message
- updated rules

Post praise and any errors you find after in the update description thread in the forum. Remember to play fair and follow the rules in the following season, there are many users that would like to play but cannot sign up at the moment.

Have fun!
The new season
03/11/2005 - The new season  (posted by Ike)
...will start tomorrow night, Sunday 0:05 CET.

I'm still working on the update tonight, but I will answer your forum posts and fix games in a short while. Please be patient.

Please note that game results are to be reported after the rematch was played!

To those who want to sign up but can't, some new users will be allowed in on Sunday.
New rules!
03/08/2005 - New rules!  (posted by Ike)
It took me a while, but the rules needed to be redone completely. Every league player should read the updated rule set, especially the new game settings.

Games are to be reported after the rematch. Single games without an explaining comment will be deleted right away.

The new season will not start unless someone finds me some cup graphics.

PES4Online v1.9 released!
03/06/2005 - PES4Online v1.9 released!  (posted by Ike)
A new version of the PES4 Online launcher was released today, featuring support for both PES4 and WE8I, included MPSO and our own room Evo-league! Please use this room instead of Worldcup from now on. The full story and download can be found on their home page.

All evo-league games are to be played through the launcher. Games not played through the launcher are invalid from now on.

A new seaon will probably start next Friday, but I still need some help!
MPSO & end of season
02/27/2005 - MPSO & end of season  (posted by Ike)
MPSO is a tool to turn on manual player switching and manual goalkeeper for PES4 or WE8I. It is very easy to use and can be downloaded here.

You can now use MPSO for all your evo-league online games, but it's nice to let other players know how to use it!

I think about ending the current season in a few weeks. Ideas on what should happen at the end of a season are still very welcome!
Manual player switching online
02/21/2005 - Manual player switching online  (posted by Ike)
It is now possible to use manual player switching online using a nifty tool called MPSO. It is NOT allowed to use this for league games unless your opponent claims he uses it too, or doesn't need it.

Some new features were added, if you're logged in and click on a player profile, you can now see how many points you would win or lose against them if you played a game.

Also, please use the new checkboxes for 'winner hosted the game' and 'aggregate result' correctly when reporting games!
PES4? WE8I? @#?!
02/19/2005 - PES4? WE8I? @#?!  (posted by Ike)
You can now specify whether you have PES4, WE8I or both in your profile. The default is PES4. The player search now supports searching by game as well.

Other fixes include a host flag when reporting games, so the client of a game will be shown in blue and in the tooltip.

Forum registration is fixed, there was a slight problem when upgrqading to phpBB 2.0.11.

comments -> forum.
Important change, please note!
02/10/2005 - Important change, please note!  (posted by Ike)
To ensure a fair game for everyone with no cheating, all evo-league PC games should now be played using the all new PES4 Online launcher v1.8.2 in the channel Worldcup. The room is online 24/7!

Please read the info page on how to use this. Using this launcher will also give you updated team rosters to play online and will become mandatory to play evo-league games in a short while!

As usual, please post comments in the forum. :b
Major site update!
02/03/2005 - Major site update!  (posted by Ike)
- updated info/rules, please read it!
- inactivity penalty for not playing (with email notification)
- daily game summary email if you have played games
- rank info for players, tooltip for won/lost points on index
- option to specify connection speed in profile, please update!
- current rank, player activity, link to player's games in profile
- option to set yourself inactive for holiday / quitting
- statistics for player activity, countries, forums, games/day

A more detailed explanation is posted in the forum.
Any errors, suggestions and praise should go there.
Use the launcher!
01/10/2005 - Use the launcher!  (posted by Ike)
With the new version 2.44 of Pes4Launcher it is possible to have separate rooms, so I'm running a server with the room evo_league_com on it.

If many people use it, you can find players there, chat, host games and you don't even have to exchange ip addresses before the game!

The server is a simple windows application, just like the client. Unfortunately i cannot run it from my server 24/7, but mostly in the evenings. If you can host it full or part time, please contact me. You can try out the server here. If there's no evo_league_com room, feel free to create one.
Happy new year!
01/04/2005 - Happy new year!  (posted by Ike)
I've made some changes today, the more obvious ones are probably that you need to log in to see the players page and to report a game, so entering your password every time isn't necessary anymore.

Separate ranking tables for different platforms and seasons will be introduced in a few weeks, meaning that the current leaders will get something like a silver/gold star beside their names and everybody starts with zero points into the new season. I'd like to see more user input on this, so don't hesitate to post in the forum!

Also, people tend to drop in and out of the chat, just stay a while and you might find an opponent. Another good way to find players online is to use a launcher for pes4, a link is on the info page.
Fair play
12/04/2004 - Fair play  (posted by Ike)
I encourage everybody to read the info page and follow the basic rule set.

If you feel someone's not playing fair, before contacting me try to sort it out with the player first, then please post in the forum so other players can share their views.

There's now a chat applet available for those who don't want to install an IRC client, thanks to Seasidewolf for sending me the applet.

Hope to see some of you there!
Some additional info
11/25/2004 - Some additional info  (posted by Ike)
The Ra2 Ladder system used for calculating points looks a bit unfair for the first few games. I posted the formula for the calculation HERE. Ratings for other systems an be seen in the statistics view. If you decide another system is better after a few more days, we can switch to that without losing anything.

I just got the game and will idle around in IRC on Quakenet channel #evo-league. This might be an easy way to find other players.

A distinction between PC and XBox will be added soon. Game data won't get lost.
Up and running!
11/21/2004 - Up and running!  (posted by Ike)
evo-league.com is now up and running, so go sign up for an account and register your games!

I tried to keep it simple and functional, so don't expect anything too fancy yet.

Please post comments and suggestions in the forum, as well as any bugs you encountered.
