Mastering Player Development: The Best Growth Types in PES 2013

In Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 (PES 2013), player development is one of the most engaging aspects of the game, particularly in Master League. Unlike later iterations that automated development, PES 2013 relied on a specific curve system. Understanding these curves is essential for building a dynasty.

Other Growth Types:

Introduction: Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 (PES 2013) is a popular soccer simulation game that offers various gameplay mechanics, including player growth and development. One crucial aspect of player development is the growth type, which determines how a player's attributes evolve over time. This paper aims to analyze the different growth types in PES 2013 and identify the most effective approach for player development.

| Growth Type | Attribute Growth Rate | Player Performance | Team Performance | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Balanced Growth | 8/10 | 7.5/10 | 8/10 | | Speed Growth | 9/10 (speed), 5/10 (other attributes) | 8/10 (speed), 6/10 (other attributes) | 7.5/10 | | Technique Growth | 9/10 (technical skills), 7/10 (other attributes) | 9/10 | 9/10 |

Focus Training: Use the training menu to target specific attributes (e.g., Shooting, Speed) to shape the player's development beyond their natural curve.

Do not fall for this trap. Type 7 players explode to 99 OVR at age 24, but at age 30, they lose -1.5 OVR per month. By 31, they are unplayable. In PES 2013, you cannot stop this decline with training. Once the "cliff" hits, the player is dead.
