Also, do you just end up playing Barca and Madrid every single game, like you do in the matchmaking? It does get a bit wearying.
It's funny how folk tend to stick to their favourite modes in PES... I only play Online Divisions, barely ever touching MyClub or Master League!
Online Divisins is great fun, Poser, and ideal for quick matches. In summary...

It's brilliant fun and, as you can save after each game, you can play for as long or short a time as you want. You just carry on from that point the next time you load up.
In terms of opponents... yeah, most people choose the better teams. You see a lot of Barca, Real Madrid and Chelsea but it's not too bad; in previous years it was often Madrid non-stop but it varies more now. I prefer to choose slightly lower teams; recently I have been playing as Boca Juniors, Saint Etienne and Lazio. It makes the draws and wins that much more satisfying!
I'd suggest it is definitely worth giving it a go, dude.
