Steady, balanced growth throughout their early 20s. Gradual decline starts around age 29 or 30.
Understanding these growth types is essential for building a successful, long-term squad. It allows managers to balance immediate competitive needs with future financial stability. The Core Growth Categories
: PES 2013 introduced a shop where you can buy items (like dumbbells or cycling machines) to provide temporary or season-long stat boosts to specific players. Longevity & Decline Position Differences
When legendary veterans with Standard & Lasting or Late Peak profiles retire (e.g., Andrea Pirlo, Javier Zanetti, or Ryan Giggs), scout their 17-year-old regens immediately. They will rapidly grow into unstoppable powerhouses with highly resilient career spans. Maximizing Growth: Beyond the Type pes 2013 growth type
's Master League, player growth isn't just about playing matches; it's governed by specific growth types
While the growth type provides the "template," several factors can accelerate or hinder actual progress:
: Similar to Early Peak, these players grow fast while young but enjoy a significantly longer peak period before their stats begin to drop. Steady, balanced growth throughout their early 20s
This is a hybrid. The player grows quickly like an Early Peak type until age 24. However, instead of crashing, they plateau at a high level until age 26, then decline differently—often losing physical stats (speed/acceleration) first, while maintaining technical stats.
These players improve rapidly between the ages of 17 and 21. They hit a high peak early but suffer a sharp, sudden decline in attributes around the age of 24 or 25.
: Giving a variety of players game time not only keeps your team fresh but also allows for the growth of a broader range of players. It allows managers to balance immediate competitive needs
Randomly triggered for young players who play consecutive matches and maintain a match rating above 6.0. This causes a massive, temporary stat boost.
They decline very rapidly. By age 28-29, their stats will drop significantly.
Boots are not purely cosmetic in PES 2013. Equipping item shop boots to players provides flat stat boosts (e.g., +2 Speed, +3 Kicking Power). Allocating your best boots to high-growth young players accelerates their development rate. Training Points Allocation
