The biggest mistake newcomers make is turning everyone into a 99-rated god. The PES 4 database works because only 5-6 players in the world (Adriano, Henry, Nedvěd) had 95+ in key stats. If you make your created player 99 in everything, the game engine breaks; keepers become useless, and the physics glitch. Trust the 2004 scale.
Modern games hide stats behind "overalls" (OVR). PES 4 had no OVR number. You had to read 30 different stats to know if a player was good. The database forces you to appreciate nuance. A player with 95 "Stamina" but 70 "Aggression" is a marathon runner. A player with 80 "Stamina" and 95 "Aggression" is a headless chicken. That granularity is lost today. pes 4 database
