Pes 2013 Growth: Type Best

Mastering Player Development: The Best Growth Types in PES 2013

In Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 (PES 2013), player development is one of the most engaging aspects of the game, particularly in Master League. Unlike later iterations that automated development, PES 2013 relied on a specific curve system. Understanding these curves is essential for building a dynasty.

While "Standard" growth is safe, experienced players know that the "Late Bloomer" (Late Peak) growth type is objectively the best for maximizing a player's potential and squad longevity. pes 2013 growth type best

The Tier List: Which Type is "Best"?

It depends on your Master League save duration, but here is the cold, hard ranking. Mastering Player Development: The Best Growth Types in

2. Standard / Normal (Type 2)

  • Development: Steady, linear growth.
  • Prime Age: 28–31.
  • Decline: Gradual decline after 32.
  • Example Players: Wayne Rooney, Sergio Agüero.

1. Early Peak (Type 1)

  • Development: Very fast growth (ages 16–22).
  • Prime Age: 23–26.
  • Decline: Rapid deterioration starting at age 27.
  • Example Players: Michael Owen, Alexandre Pato, most “wonderkids” who fizzle out.

7. How to Identify Growth Type In-Game

PES 2013 does not explicitly label growth types. Use these methods: Development: Steady, linear growth

  1. Check player age vs. OVR change – Save at season start, sim 6 months, see if stats rose/declined.
  2. Use external editors (e.g., PES 2013 Editor by w!Ld@) to view Growth Type value (0–5).
  3. Community spreadsheets – Search “PES 2013 growth type list” for pre-analyzed players.

5. Early / Constant (Type 4) – The Trap

  • Why it’s bad: You get a false sense of security. The player looks amazing at 24, but by 29, their physical stats (Speed, Acceleration, Stamina) have already started decaying. By 31, they are unplayable.
  • Verdict: Avoid unless you are doing a 3-season challenge.

2. The Safe Bet: Normal (Standard Curve)

Peak age: 26 – 31 Verdict: Reliable. Boring. Effective.

Most top-tier real players (Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta) use this. They grow steadily until 26, plateau beautifully, then slowly decline after 31. You cannot go wrong here. If you are in a 4-season online league, take "Normal" over "Late."

  • Best for: Wingers, Playmakers, Box-to-Box mids.
