Malbasa and Hurtado aint developin well 4 me, i thought they were gud

Maybe you got them at a later date. They improve a lot if you get them at the beginning of the game.

i got em at the beginin of my second season season

Maybe they just have bad curves on your ML. Hurtado usually gets to the yellow, and Malbasa usually gets half way to the red, or there abouts. That sort of curve is as good as it gets for a centre back, really.

And no, classic players aren't on the list.

I'm not sure if this is my game/option file screwed up but I don't think anyone has mentioned the brazilian keeper Marcos who, magically, is 20 yrs old on my master league (yet being over 30 in real life) and got a great curve, I use him as back-up for K.Schmeichal in my master league. Can anyone else find him on theirs? (I'm only in 2nd season btw so I doubt he's a regen at 20yo)

I thought I had him on the list, but I just checked and I don't . Other players with messed up ages (eg Mutu, Malbasa, Beciu etc) are on there, but not him. I'll add him now.

I know - the issue with players having the wrong age doesnt bother me too much though - seeing as my 21 year old master league Claudio Lopez can skin anyone who dares come up against him

does anyone know what johann vonlanthen's curve is like?
cause i'm thinking of buying him but, i want to be sure that his curve is reasonable.

It was pretty average when I bought him, just into the yellow.

Into the yellow is above average for most positions .

Usually Vonlanthen's curve gets almost to the red - I had one ML where it actually got into it.

Anyone ever had Aiden Mcgeady from Celtic in there Masterleague team because he developed very well for my Celtic team and became a first team regular despite his curve not being that great.

Just found a couple of good developing youngster vumientio and akende. haven't heard them mentioned before but both go into the yellow and worth a look

Can't say I've ever heard of them either. I'll investigate .

Edit: They're not in there - they must have name changes which I've since edited. Where abouts did you find them?

I have edited every player name with a max drive so they should all be correct. I will have a look and get back later as am now off to work til 6.

Edit: Just realised i may have spelt them wrong on here, try vieumientio and akande

Is Akande the one who plays for Roma? If so he's crap in mine.
