PES 2013 does not explicitly label the growth type. You have two ways to figure it out:
1. The "Monthly Progress" Report Check your team's progress report every month. If a 22-year-old has green arrows constantly, he is Early or Standard Peak. If a 27-year-old suddenly gets a +3 OVR jump, he is Late Peak.
2. The Curve Graph in Training Go to Training > Player Development. You will see a graph with three lines (Current, Potential, Standard). Observe the shape:
3. Community Lists The PES 2013 modding community has fully cracked the database. Websites like PESMaster or PESDB allow you to search a player and see their exact Growth Type code (0-9).
✅ Scouting strategy
✅ Loan system
Players with Late Peak stagnate if benched. Loan them out until 27.
✅ Contract planning
✅ Position training
Changing position can slightly shift effective peak age, but never overrides the base growth type.
This is the most dangerous type to invest in.
Also known as: "Late Bloomer" or "Persistent."
The Curve: These players are frustrating as youngsters. Between 18 and 23, they show little to no growth. You might think they are useless. But around age 25, something clicks. They rise steadily, hit their peak at 29 to 33, and can maintain that level until age 36-37. pes 2013 growth type
Key Characteristics:
Who fits this type? Real-life examples include Luca Toni, Didier Drogba, or Antonio Di Natale. In PES 2013, many deep-lying playmakers and target forwards have this curve.
How to use them:
This is typical for physically strong players or standard squad players.
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.
| Mistake | Reality | |---------|---------| | “High OVR at 19 = future star” | If Early Decline or Early Peak, they may regress by 26. | | “All regens grow the same” | Regens keep the original player’s growth type. | | “Training fixes decline” | Training slows decline but cannot reverse it after age curve drops. | | “Become a Legend lets you choose” | No — it’s preset per position/player ID. |
In PES 2013, there is a fourth category reserved
In PES 2013, "Growth Types" are hidden settings that dictate how a player's attributes change over their career in Master League or Become a Legend modes. These types determine when a player reaches their peak and how long they maintain it, providing a more dynamic career path than simple age-based progression. Core Growth Types
While specific names can vary slightly by community patches or translations, the game generally categorizes players into these trajectories:
Early Peak: These players improve rapidly as teenagers and reach their maximum potential in their early 20s. However, their stats may begin to decline sooner than others, often starting as early as 25 or 26. PES 2013 does not explicitly label the growth type
Standard: The most common type. Players show steady improvement throughout their early 20s, peak between 26 and 29, and start a gradual decline in their 30s.
Late Bloomer: Players who may have mediocre stats in their youth but see a significant surge in their late 20s. They often maintain their peak well into their 30s.
Early/Lasting: A rare and highly desirable type where a player peaks early but manages to maintain those high stats for a very long duration before finally declining. Key Influencers of Growth
A player’s growth is not strictly locked to their type; active management can alter their "predicted" curve:

saves, determining how a player's stats evolve over their career based on predetermined age-related curves Core Growth Types
Players generally fall into one of several categories that dictate when they reach their peak and how quickly they decline: Early Peak:
These players reach their maximum potential very quickly (often by ages 20–22) but may start declining sooner than others.
A balanced curve where players grow steadily through their early 20s and peak around age 26–28. Late Bloomer:
Players who develop slowly in their youth but see significant stat jumps in their late 20s or even early 30s. ✅ Loan system Players with Late Peak stagnate
A suffix added to types (e.g., "Standard/Lasting") indicating the player will maintain their peak stats for several years before a slow decline, rather than "falling off a cliff". Factors Influencing Growth
While the "type" sets the trajectory, several active gameplay elements can push a player beyond their predicted curve: Match Performance: Maintaining a match rating consistently above is critical for maximizing development bonuses.
Regularly stringing together matches back-to-back accelerates growth, whereas benching young prospects can stagnate their progress. Focused Training:
Users can manually assign training points to specific attributes (e.g., Speed, Shooting) to mold a player's development regardless of their natural growth type. Explosive Growth:
Occasionally, a player may experience a "breakthrough" period where their stats increase dramatically over a short timeframe, often triggered by a combination of young age, high form, and consistent starts. Review Verdict The system adds a deep layer of strategic scouting
to PES 2013. It forces you to balance your squad between "Early Peak" wonderkids who provide immediate impact and "Late Bloomers" who provide long-term stability. However, the lack of transparency in-game (curves are often hidden in certain menus) means players must pay close attention to the "Development" tab in the player info screen to avoid investing in a star who is about to enter a sharp decline. specific players in PES 2013 have the best growth potential?

If you’ve spent hours in Master League or Become a Legend on PES 2013, you’ve probably noticed – not all players grow the same way. That’s because each player has a hidden Growth Type that determines when and how their stats improve (or decline).
