Yet again, there is a second division and four leagues (from A to D), as well as the two European club competitions mentioned in the previous format. The format is a bit better than it used to be, but still has many opportunities for development. Now the user can replace the ML Default Squad with actual players. Now the user has a new job to create a club from scratch! The club (FC Cosmos) is just a typical generic, yet editable club. The primal transfer system, the low number of free spots for transfer targets and the ability to edit the clubs while playing Master League wasn't as fun as Konami thought.
The player also participates in two international club competitions UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League (then unlicensed).
There are four leagues North, East, West and South. The player plays in a random league and cup, first in the second division. The players are all generic and belong to the Master League Default Players section. The user gets to select one of the various clubs included in-game. Master League is a manager mode it enables you to choose a team and proceed transforming the club. Master League is a game mode since the first appearance of the game under the 'Pro Evolution Soccer' title.
