It's always the question of why did you need to replace the master cyl.
If,,, there were no other problems that we don't know about,
If you bench bleeded the master cyl before installation and there were no other leaks in the system usually you could rebleed the lines at the MC and you should get some kind of decent pedal. If you did everything correctly then it is possible the replacement MC is defective on the other hand if there was another reason such as a leak somewhere that you repaired then you would need to bleed the entire system.

it's always best to bleed the longest lines first..betcha it's still 'air logged'

Don't know what sequence you used to bleed the lines, but it usually is RR,LR,RF then LF.
Ya gotta make sure you keep the MC full all the time. It does require a lot of fluid to do the entire system correctly.
