Understanding Player Growth Types in PES 2013 Master League In the legendary Pro Evolution Soccer 2013
, managing a team's development in Master League requires more than just winning matches; it requires a deep understanding of Growth Types. These hidden (and sometimes visible) development curves dictate how quickly a player improves, when they hit their prime, and how long they can maintain their peak performance before the inevitable decline. The Core Growth Types
Each player in the game is assigned a specific growth trajectory. While individual skills determine a player's quality, the Growth Type determines their potential and speed of development.
Early Peak: These players develop rapidly at a young age, reaching their maximum potential quickly. However, their peak is often short-lived, and they may begin to decline earlier than others.
Early/Lasting: Similar to Early Peak, these players grow fast while young but enjoy a significantly longer peak period before their stats begin to drop.
Standard: The most common type, representing an average development curve where players reach their peak in their mid-20s.
Standard/Lasting: An enhanced version of the Standard type, allowing players to sustain their peak abilities for several more seasons than average.
Late Peak: Often referred to as "late bloomers," these players grow slowly in their youth and may take many seasons to reach their full potential. pes 2013 growth type
Late/Lasting: These players take a long time to reach their peak but are renowned for their longevity, sustaining high-level performance well into their 30s. Factors Influencing Growth
Growth Types are not entirely static; several in-game factors can accelerate or modify a player's progress:
Playtime & Match Rating: Regular appearances and high match ratings (ideally above 6.0) are critical for gaining experience points. Consecutive starts can trigger "explosive growth" phases where a player's stats jump significantly.
Training Regimes: You can customize training to focus on specific attributes. The training screen provides a "predicted curve," which can be shifted based on the intensity and focus of your drills.
Team Roles: Specific roles like "Youth Prospect" or "Protege" can provide massive boosts to development, sometimes increasing training efficiency by over 20%.
Aging & Decline: Players typically begin to decline in their late 20s or early 30s. However, changing an older player's role (e.g., moving an attacking veteran into a deeper midfield role) can sometimes provide a "second wind" and extend their usefulness. Strategic Management
To build a "beast" team, successful managers often scout young players (ages 16–19) with a "Late/Lasting" or "Standard/Lasting" growth type. By pairing them with experienced "Bandiera" or veteran players who provide training bonuses to their teammates, you can ensure your squad reaches its maximum potential and stays there for multiple seasons.

In PES 2013 , player development in Master League and Become a Legend is dictated by Growth Types, which determine when a player hits their peak and how quickly their stats decline. Core Growth Types
While names can vary slightly by translation or region, the internal logic follows these primary curves:
Early Peak: These players develop rapidly in their teens and early 20s but often see their stats stagnate or decline as early as age 24–26.
Standard: The most common type. Players grow steadily through their early 20s, reach their peak around 27–29, and begin a gradual decline after 30.
Late Bloomer: Development is slow initially, but these players experience significant stat jumps in their late 20s and can maintain their peak well into their mid-30s.
Long-Lasting: Similar to Standard or Late Bloomer, but with a much slower decline rate, allowing legendary players to remain highly effective at ages 35+. Factors Influencing Growth
The "Expected Progress" curve visible in the training menu is not fixed and can be altered by performance. Identifying growth types (practical cues)
Explosive Growth (Breakthroughs): Randomly triggered for young players who play consecutive matches and maintain a match rating above 6.0. This causes a massive, temporary stat boost.
Play Time & Performance: Frequent starts and high match ratings (7.0+) accelerate development beyond the predicted curve.
Training & Items: Using the Master League Shop to buy equipment like cycling machines (stamina) or dumbbells (strength) provides permanent or seasonal stat boosts.
Team Roles: Players with roles like "Youth Prospect" or "Protege" receive development bonuses, which can steepen their growth graph. Quick Tips for Development
Check the Chart: Always view the "Progress Curve" in the player's training tab to see if they are nearing their peak.
Loan Strategy: If a high-potential youth isn't getting minutes, loan them out to a team where they will be a guaranteed starter to ensure they don't stagnate.
Boots: Don't forget to equip boots in the player's Item menu; they provide small but vital boosts to specific attributes like speed or shooting.
Here’s a comprehensive review of the Growth Type system in Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 (PES 2013), specifically for Master League and Become a Legend modes.
Identifying growth types (practical cues)
- Age + current overall vs. potential: young players with low OVR but high hidden potential are likely late-bloomers.
- Attribute distribution: specialists show strong values in specific stats with others low.
- Season-to-season improvement patterns: track increases across 2–3 seasons to infer curve.
- Scouting reports/hidden data (if available in edit mode or via community databases) can reveal potential and growth tendencies.
⚡ For Youth Players (16–19 y/o)
- Early Peak – Excellent for flipping for profit. Sell at 24.
- Late / Lasting – Ideal for homegrown legends (very rare).
Strategic Master League Tips
- Construct a balanced squad: Do not sign 11 Early Peak wonderkids. By Year 4, they will all be declining simultaneously. Mix in 4 Late Peak players for consistency.
- The 26-Year-Old Rule: If a player is 26 and has not reached 85+ OVR, check his type. If he is Late Peak, keep him. If he is Early Peak, release him immediately.
- Regens are different: When a player retires and respawns as a 16-year-old regen, he keeps his original Growth Type. A Michael Owen regen will still crash after 25. A Giggs regen will still bloom late.
- Training focus:
- Early Peak: Focus on technique and speed. They have no time for defense.
- Late Peak: Focus on stamina and strength. They need to survive until their late 20s.
4. Best Growth Types for Each Position
Introduction
PES 2013 (Pro Evolution Soccer 2013) is a football (soccer) video game developed by Konami. This paper examines the concept of "growth type" within PES 2013 — the system governing player development, attribute progression, and role evolution over time in Master League, Become a Legend, and player training modes. It explains mechanics, categorizes growth types, analyzes impacts on gameplay and team-building, and offers recommendations for optimizing player development.
Impact on team-building and tactics
- Short-term competitiveness: prioritize early-bloomers and physical peak players to win immediately.
- Long-term dynasty: invest in late-bloomers and technical growers for sustained success.
- Squad balance: mix growth types—experienced steady developers for reliability; specialists for tactical roles; young late-bloomers as future starters.
- Financial planning: youth investment requires patience but reduces transfer costs long-term.
- Rotation and training: rotate to give EXP to targeted players; tailor training to accelerate desired attribute growth.
