Starting the Game
Master League Mode
In Master League Mode, the object is to create and run your own team with players of
your choosing and build it into a powerhouse. There are four leagues - Northern,
Southern, Eastern, and Western - and each league is divided into Division 1 (14 teams)
and Division 2 (8 teams). Your team competes against computer teams (called COM
teams) in a league format. Depending the overall record, teams may be promoted or
relagated between Division 1 and Division 2, and those with good records are invited to
participate in big tournaments. In addition, teams accumulate points by winning
matches, and these points can be used to acquire new players and pay player salaries.
Teams
No matter which team is selected, its beginning roster will be the same. By negotiating
to acquire new players and releasing old players, you can build your own team. The
team roster must consist of no fewer than 16 players and no more than 40 players. You
can only negotiate with a maximum of 5 players at a time.
Game Over
The game ends if the team’s roster falls below 16 players, the team’s point total drops
below -9,999, or the team has a negative point total at the end of the season.
Viewing Information
Results and schedules for Master League and Cup matches can
