Defensive set ups Help Needed

[Jon23]

Hiya lads, im new here but i have been searching for this forum for a couple of days and some of the threads and help given has been top notch

Im wondering if people can help me make my defence more stable when being attacked. Im using Crystal Palace in this mini league im doing and noticed i was very vunerable with through balls. ive set my back four all to high defensive and arrows going towards my own goal but it still gets breahced so just wondering if you could help

I've also tried creating additional formations in the strategy section but im stuck on making 3 good formations for different scenarios

Thanks in advance

Try and play pacey players at the back, and make sure there's not too much space between the full backs and the centre backs... Also try playing a holding midfielder to try and cut out the passes early, or stop them being made in the first place.

Hope this helps! :)

[orkyben]

Move your centre backs closer to the goal. Then if a through ball gets through the striker will have no space to run in and your keeper will collect it.

[ScousEvolution]

There is no specific way of stopping through balls whatsoever.

But playing your centre back closer to the goal or playing a hoding midfielder won't work too well in my opinion.

What you need to do first is play in manual (not semi auto). If you do not already, then learn. It is the only way to have any control over the back line.

Secondly, on the formation set up screen, in the section where it asks you how hard you want your team to press in certaoin situations (A, B or C) set your offside trap to A. It says this will make the players tire quicker, but that they'll press harder. But the players stay pretty much the same, buyt they play the oiffside trap more frequantly, and better.

But, even with all this in place, the best way to track the through ball is to not commit to a tackle, or the one striker. If you play in semi auto you have no control over who you are in control of. So it becomes difficult. But in manual, you can watch the runs of the opponents, and switch to the right man accordingly.

[ScousEvolution]

By the way. You said you try different formations, but this is the last thing you should be doing.

You should stick to the same one, and get to know exactly where your players will be and when.

Another mistake you are making is that you should not be setting your defensive arrows to high. Set them to normal, and have all of your back line on the same setting. This is very important, as it will mean that your defence works in tandem instead of being out of sync with eachother.

Do not be tempted to mess around by having one playing deep, and another playing high. Have them all on the same defensive arrow setting. Preferably normal.

This will mean they are not sitting too deep, and are able to play the offside trap if needed. (remember to set that offside trap to setting-A.)

I go with defence normal, wingers low, midfielders normal (sometimes with one being more defensive) strikers both low aswell. This is important for the counter attack, so they stay high up the field. It also makes the opponents defence have to play deep to cover them, whch allows you mors space in midfield.

I also keep the two strikers on the same defence and attack setting. And I have them playing right alongside eachother (in a line that is, not too close though). This helps greatly for one-twos, as you always know where the other one is.

Also, in position edit, do not try to move all your defenders far back towards your own goal. This does more bad than good.

And this tip is important - ALWAYS remember to put your defenders in line on the position edit screen. If you play your fullbacks a tiny bit further forward than your centre backs, then that is ok. But never ever ever play your centre backs even a dot ahead of your fullbacks. This will totally **** up your defensive line and leave you open to the thorugh ball.

Hope that helps a bit.

I've got a few more tips aswell. But it's late. So I'm off to bed.

Later.

[Jon23]

Cheers lads, very interesting views, ill definately check them all out

ScousEvolution, you know when you say put your defence on normal defensive and set offside trap to A, do i do the same for 'Back Line'?

Also, do i set Counter Attack to A or use it as a manual setting ( X etc)

Thanks Again

[RedBlooded]

What I do, which is rock solid, is play three CBs and two DMs:

Vomme M. Cranie Diarra

Dagaka Muntari

What this means is I can still play an OM, two strikers and two wide players...and the way it works is it's near impossible to slip a through ball through all that. Then, when the opponent goes down the wings instead, Vomme and Diarra go out wide to challenge them and the DMs drop back into defence.

This means the attackers are always under pressure but there are always 3 players in my own box. It really is rock solid!

Also useful with Dagaka racing forward on the counter-attack.

[Jon23]

RedBlooded, do you have vomme and viarra attacking to the sides so they challenge down the wings? And do you have the DMCs attacking backwards?

Im also concerned that Crystal Palace are not good enough for this formation

Thanks for the help lads ;)

[Jon23]

wow, Just tried the 3 defenders and to Dm's and its more stable than i thought it would be.

Redblooded, i've sent you a private message with my msn addy, can we talk about this formation in more detail mate?

Thanks!

[RedBlooded]

I've added you :)

[ScousEvolution]

Jon23,

Sorry for not getting back to you on that question mate. I've only just logged back onto here since your last post.

Go to the formation settings screen, and go to `team` and then `settings list`.

Set defence sytem to `line defence`.
Set `back line` to - A
Set offside trap to - A

That is it.

Obvoiously if you are looking to play the offside trap, so you should also have the `back line` setting as high as possible aswell.

However, this is where it gets complicated for you.

Because you are playing as crystal palace, and probably have slow defenders, you will be succeptable to the through ball- no matter how well you organise your defence.

What you have to remember is that no formation whatsoever will allow you to completely rule out the possibility of a clever opponent being able to slip a through ball past you. No matter how well it works for someone else.

You should not be looking to someone else for advice about formations to be honest, because I think the only way to become solid is to learn to know yourself where your players are at all times. Then you can develop a formation to suit how you want to play.

For example, Redblooded plays the same formation I do, which is the 3-5-2. And says it is very solid because of the two defensive players and the three centre backs. However, if you play against someone who plays their wingers very wide and high up the pitch, you will be vulnerable against them down the flanks with this formation. In which case you would have to widen the gap between your centre backs to cover either wing. But then that would leave you open to the ball through the middle. And so an and so on. So really, there is no formation whatsoever which will allow you to do all the things you want to do all of the time. And this is why it is so important to choose one which gives you the things you want, but sacrafices others which you can live without.

For example, Redblooded or myself might play a lot of the game in the middle of the park, whilst you might be more direct. So whilst 5 midfielders work well for us, and compensate for only having three at the back, it might be better for you to play with three strikers, and only three midfielders, and keep four at the back.

You see what I mean?

[luv4skating]

Well I see what you mean, but one question....

What's some of the better ways to set your other settings like Attack/Defense and Team Strategy?

[ScousEvolution]

That all depends on what settings you mean.

I'll give you a run down of how I play, and what formation I use.

Hardly anyone has ever beat me, whether that is down to the formation or my own genuis (insert modesty smiley) is anyoness guess. I think it's a bit of both (insert another modesty smiley) :D

I play the 3-5-2 with the two defensive midfielders and one attacking player behind the strikers. 3-5-2-B it's called.

I go to position edit and move the left sided defender further to the left (up), and the right one further to the right (down). About four moves each. Then I move the left and right midfielder further out wide. About four moves again. The two middle men I move two moves each away from eachother, then about two moves forward. I also move the strikers a little bit apart so they are easier for the wide players to find and give the attacking midfielder good angles for the one-two, but not too far so they can still link up with eachother for the one-two (about two moves each). Then I move them back about 4 moves to play a little deeper so they are not too isolated from the midfield. This helps you keep possesion better, and works especially well if you have fast strikers who can exploit a high defence (which is what they will be if you play your strikers deep). I have the attacking midfielder far enough ahead of the midfield so he is an option to set the ball free, but not so far as he is isolated. And far enough behind the strikers that he can link up from deep, but not so far that he can't link up with them on the attack.

I set the attackers defensive attitude to `low` so they stay upfield for the counter attack, one of the centre midfielders is set to normal, and the other one set to high to protect the defence. The wingers are both set to low so they are ready for the outlet ball on the counter attack. I find this works very well. You can set the defender's to normal or high, depending on how deep you want them to sit. That's entirely up to you. But one thing to remember is never to have them set differently. For example, the midfielders can play differently, so can the strikers etc, but the defenders must all be set in a line, and all try to keep that line. So set them all the same.

Team strategy is something which you don't really neeed to bother with all that much. People will tell you that you do, but by far the most important thing is to udnerstand your formation properly, and have the right players doing the right things. Once you've sussed that, then you can start figuring out how to use the offside trap manually and all that. But until then, it will only distract you from the proper art of defending and attacking.

Hope this helps.

[ScousEvolution]

By the way, not sure if I mentioned it, but I use "line defence" which means your back three try to keep in a line as much as possible.

[luv4skating]

Yes it does alot, I'm very new to this game but already addicted....LOL, do you earn a certain amount of wen for each game that you play in ML, weather you win of lose?

And if so the only time I recieved any wen was 40 for a tie...(I haven't won a match yet)

[luv4skating]

Also in ML you can't just start with any team in the game, why is that?

And I'm Currently playing WE8 with the May/June option file in ML on X-Box with FC Messina Peloro and dont know where they are from as well as any of the other teams in the ML A Division 2 league, I would like to know the best place to find out all of the countries these teams are from.

Starting off in ML:

10 or 15 Min Matches

2 or 3 Stars

Remember I'm a newbe

[ScousEvolution]

You get points for every game you play, although you get less for being on 2 or 3 stars. I would never start on 2 or 3 stars myself. The reason is simple. You only learn by playing a high level of opponent. I would recommend playing against 4 stars at first, then move on to 5 stars.

If you are new to the game, it will take you at least 3 months to get to a high level. That is how realistic the game is.

At first it doesn't seem as if you are getting anywhere, and you will get easily disapointed when you think you have cracked it, only to lose the next game. But remember that you will not learn all the little details of the game in just a few days or weeks. Not a chance in the world.

This is what makies pro evolution such a special game. You really do develop your whole style and quality by practising and learning about the game. As oppose to other games where you have it cracked in a week or two.

When pro evo 3 came out, I was totally back to square one again (well almost) because of the game engine being changed, and it took me ages to score freely against 5 star. But it comes. Don't ask how, because there's no special tips. It just starts to click.

The most important thing to learn, in my opinion anyway, is the one-two and through ball.

Try exiting the master league, and playing a few practice matches. And in those practice games, try practicing this:

When you pass the ball, hold R1. This makes the man who passed the ball make a forward run. Then try to watch his run, and use the man in possesion to keep the ball until the player who passed it has run into space. Then play the through ball.

Once you have mastered this you will definately tear holes in the opponents defence.

[ScousEvolution]

When I said you get points for every game you play, what I meant was you get poinbts for every game you win or draw. Although you only get a few if you play in 2 or 3 stars.

[Rangers_Fureva]

You could play a sweeper so when the threw balls come there will be a defender waiting for it

[luv4skating]

Alright then I try 4 Stars and bite the bullet, that move was for PS2, I have X-Box so I hold down the right trigger to make the man run ahead, right?

Anyway I'm going to start a new ML, 15min Matches, 4 Stars, creating my own team....Thanks a bunch.

[ScousEvolution]

Sweepers are not very effective in my opinion. I would recommend going with a 4-4-2 formation if youre a newbie.

There are only 3 effective formations in my opinion. The 3-5-2 B the 4-4-2 B and the 4-5-1 B. They all provid excellent balance (as the B for Balance suggests) whilst giving you good attacking options.

Always remember to stretch your wingers out a little bit, and move the men in the middle slightly wider so as not to isolate anyone.


And ALWAYS keep the back line exactly in a line, and select line defence from the strategy list if you want to play the offside trap.

Don't be temtped to play your fullbacks higher up than the rest, because you will find your centre backs will be left stranded when the offside trap is played.

[ScousEvolution]

I'm not sure of the controls on the xbox.

But check your manual and find out which button you have to hold to play the one-two.

Whichever button that is, hold it, and when you play the pass, your man will make the run immediately. You will know what a one-two is because the man who plays the ball will immediately make the run forwards.

Now in the instruction manual it will tell you to press another button to complete the one-two (or "give-and-go" as it is otherwise known). But this is not what I'm talking about.

You can either play a direct one-two, where your man passes the ball, makes the run, and then gets the return ball straigh back. Or you can do it another way, and this is the way that gets you most success.

Play the one-two by holding whatever button it is you have to press, and instead of returning the pass immediately, let the man run forward. Now the secret to perfecting this move is simple in theory, but hard to master. But once you do master it you will set up some great attacks.

Basically, what you are trying to do is buy the player who is making the run enough time to get free into the space he is running into, by twisting and turning away from the players coming to close your man down.

It goes like this:

A/ Play the ball whilst holding the appropriate button.

B/ Use the man who receives the pass to keep hold of the ball long enough to buy some space for the player who is running.

C/ watch the man who is making the run, and decide when you want to play the return ball to him.

The secret of making it work is to keep possesion of the ball by wriggling, turning, or whatever, whilst at the same time watching the man who is making the run. Basically you are doing two things at the same time. Waiting for the best time to play the through ball, and keeping possesion of the ball yourself so you can play it to him.

It takes a long time to master, but is without doubt the most difficult thing of all to defend against. It works especially well in two player mode.

A big tip here though is to remember one thing. Don't ALWAYS choose to play the through ball. Or even play to the player who is making the run.

Sometimes you play the one two, but your man runs doen a blind alley, or into a bad position, or a defender follows him. In this case it is better to turn away and play it to someone else.

This move is even more useful for this reason. Especially in two player mode.

You see, the man who makes the run is sometimes followed by a defender, which makes more space for another player who might be by your side. So this opens up space for other players.

In two player mode though, things get even more interesting. I play like this virtually all over the pitch. Sometimes I choose to use the runner, sometimes not. And it always throws off whoever I play. Many times the lads who play against me know that I use this method, so they sometimes track the runner, and lose track of the man who is in possesion of the ball himself. Basically, the runner is used as a dummy, and if you can beat the last man with the player in possesion you are clean through on goal.

It goes on and on. I could talk to you all night about all hte various tips and tricks. But there are so many little details that it would be impossible to cram them all in. Basically pro evo is a masterful piece of software for the simple reason that it allows so much diversity, individuality, and improvement.

But the one-two technique which I have explained to yu is one thing I would urge anyone to learn and adapt to.

No matter how much you think you will never get the hang of it, keep trying. Because I don't think there is a better feeling you can have on a games console than when you learn to play some top drawer football on pro evo.

[ScousEvolution]

Oh yes, and learn to play in manual from the very get go.

I'd say you can get to about 75 -85 % of your full potential by playing in semi-auto. And 100 % in manual.

Basically, once you learn to switch to the right man at the right time (which isn't that hard if you practice) you have much more control over every aspect of your team.

[luv4skating]

Do you know anything about Trading or Transfering players, I'm in week 18 and Negotiations Round 4 and my Expenditure is 13052 and my funds are 10860 is there anyway to overcome this?

Thank you for all of your help!!

[cadburyho]

Im wondering if people can help me make my defence more stable when being attacked. Im using Crystal Palace in this mini league im doing and noticed i was very vunerable with through balls. ive set my back four all to high defensive and arrows going towards my own goal but it still gets breahced so just wondering if you could help

I guess you must be playing WE8 L/E as the CPU is extremely good in through balls especially when one is having a lapse in concentration.
Believe me WE8 L/E is a much tougher game than We8 at 5* .I have languished in Div 2 for almost 5 season until I found a way to avert the through balls. One effective method is to place your last defender just after the keeper ie. in the middle of the goal mouth. It would be suicidal to use him on a Man to Man. Use Zone instead. It is like double protection. If your defender fails to intercept the through ball, you will have this last defender to depend on. If he misses that too, you still have the keeper. And for the latter, you must be proficient with the L1/Triangle and Direction button to block the shot.

What do you mean overcome it?

Do you mean get more points?

[ScousEvolution]

Cadburyho,

I don't agree with that myself.

Everyone has their own way of playing and all that, but in my experience by playing a sweeper you are basically hoping that the opponent doesn't finde space either side of him. Because there is no chance of playing the offside trap with a man so deep in your defence.

I find an easy way to breach a sweeper system is to play the through ball wide instead of through the middle, and then pass to the man in space in the box for an easy tap in.

My advice is to play the offside trap, and keep your back four in a perfect line on the position edit screen.

Select line defence, select back line-A, set offside trap to-A.
Put all your defence on normal defensive arrows. And set the attack settings of your two centre backs to neutral.

That's basically the best way to play the offside trap in my opinion.

But if you want to play with a sweeper then fair enough.

If it stays like that at the end of teh season your game will end so dont buy anymore players and maybe try and sell one -dont worry tho coz you still have the second half of the season to earn more money by winning games.

[ScousEvolution]

Oh, I see. You are in the red basically.

What you have to do is try your best to win your cup games especially. As this is where the points are at.

Especially if you are not likely to win the league you are in.

Besides, don't worry too much about losing a master league. Just keep playing and you'll get it right in the end.

Scous
Appreciate your analysis.
I did try with all kinds of formation to no avail. I struggled to win games.Even leading by 2-0 the next thing will see my team trailing. I played with 4 defenders in a form of a curve. It did not work.
I moved the 2nd defender(the one with better acceleration right down to the goal mouth somewhere in the middle and suddenly I am beginning to see results. I was able to intercept crosses with greater success whether it coming from left or right. Perhaps you are right by placing my defender right to the end, I have deprived myself of using the offside trap. But then again the offside trap will not work all the time.I believe you must be good at it.

[ScousEvolution]

I suppose there are benefits of both systems.

Whichever one you become confortable with probably suits you best. But it is important to learn properly how to play both.

I think that one of the main mistakes most people make in pro evolution is to keep changing their formations every time something goes wrong.

What you have to remember is that no formation is going to protect you against everything all of the time. But you see people watching a replay of a goal they've conceded, and seeing how easily they were cut apart, and instantly blame the formation. Then they set about changing it to a completely different one.

Most of the time all you need to do is just tinker with it, or in some cases, do nothing at all and just put it down to nothing being perfect.

Then you can concentrate on the game itself.

[luv4skating]

Well I've been tinkering with the 3-5-2 and edited it just the way you said and finally got a win with man blue (Manchester City) I scored 3 goals!!!! I freaked out, it was good now I'm about a 1000 in the red it's getting better I think.

What about Attack/Defense I believe that's in the set-up menu, you click on it and it has a drop down menu that has I think, Normal, auto/attack, and Manual..... what do I do here, right now it's set to Normal.

[luv4skating]

Well now I'm not in the red anymore and I have some wen to spend, 1000, and I'm in the player sign-up period, any tips for signing, trading, releasing, transfering players?

[ScousEvolution]

Setting your attack/defence to normal is ok.

Basically all that means is that you will be a bit more defensive when you don't have the ball, and a bit more attacking when you do.

If you have it on manual though, you will be in full control of how defensive, or attacking, you want to be. I'm not sure what the controls are on hte xbox, but on the ps2 you have to press L2 and R1 or 2 to adjust it.

you have little coloured squares under the player's name (during a match). These represent how attack or defence oriented your team is. When the coloured square is in the middle, you are balanced. The more to the right it is, the more attacking, and the further up the field you will play. And the opposite when to the left.

You should definately learn to play in manual eventually, as it gives you far more control over the tactics you want to employ.

For example, if you play in auto, you could be 1-0 up in the 85th minute, and then have the chance to counter attack. Now you will want to get forward, but obviously you wont want to risk being countered yourself and giving a sickener away in the last seconds. But in auto, the computer decides that when you have the ball, that you become more attacking. Whereas in manual, if you have your settings slightly more defensive, then you will stay pretty defensive even though you have the chance to attack. So you won't risk much.

The same thing can be said if you are chasing a game, but your opponent has the ball. If it is the 88th minute and you are 0-1 down, then even if your opponent is on the attack, you won't want to be too defensive because you are probably going to be willing to take a risk and stay quite attacking, and hope for a counter. In manual you can choose to keep your team's attacking gameplan. Whereas in auto it will put you more defensive when your opponent has the ball.

Hope that helps.

[ScousEvolution]

As for the player signing period, to be honest, it's still a bit hit and miss I'm afraid. Especially on the ps2.

But the most important things to look for are definately technique, Teamwork, dribble accuracy, short pass accuracy, speed, and acceleration. Obviously you have to look for things which are specific to a player's position aswell, like tackling or shooting. But you want a team who is able to turn quickly (dribble accuracy & agility) , play accurate passes (short pass acc) , and not lose possesion of the ball (technique & Teamwork). Everything else goes from there. Stamina is also an issue, but if you have enough players then that shouldn't be a problem.

Do a custom search, and look players who are good in the above departments. I usually set the scale for each asset to 75-99.

A good tip is to set all the above parameters to 75-99, then knock one point at a time off the ones which are not so important to see if more players become available.

And also, when you do your search, and it tells you the amount of players which come under your search criteria, then select "sort by salary" from the menu which asks you how you what order you want the players to be listed.

Because you are in the lower division, you will not be succesful with transfers for the big players, and you should be looking for as many value players as possible anyway. So go to the lowest end of the salary first and start from there.

Use your players in part exchange, and discard those who you don't need, or are unlikely to be transfered. This will lower your salary by a lot. Don't be put off by having to pay a release fee. Because your end of season loss will be more than that if you keep them on.

Also, Before you start any dealings to bring players in, always remeber to put your shit players on the transfer list. The ones who are still there and nobody asks for should be released on the last transfer window. Give them four weeks to be transfered, and if nobody wants them then release them.

Ahh. Well that's why the offside trap did not work then.

If you play your defence in a curve, then you will basically see your centre backs playing the opponent onside all the time, and this leaves your defence vulnerable.

Like I said above, play all your defenders in a perfect line. Do not move your fullbacks even a dot ahead of the centre backs. You will instantly see the difference when you play the game. Also remeber to have them all on the same defence settings.

[luv4skating]

Ok then, I also heard about a star rating system when it comes to availible players, is that how you can decide which player you maybe able to pick-up on your team?

[ScousEvolution]

Yes. Basically the stars represent the likelyhood of a transfer being succesful. The higher you set it the better your chances are of being succesful.

I have to add, that I missed a bit of info out in my last response to you. Sorry.

Basicaly, I play in 6 start mode, and in this you can't choose how likely you are to be succesful in your transfer dealings. But in 4 star you should still be able to do this. So transfers are much more likely to be succesful for you than they are for me.

So go for it.

[ScousEvolution]

Cadburyho,

No problem mate. Let me know how it goes.

[luv4skating]

Yes. Basically the stars represent the likelyhood of a transfer being succesful. The higher you set it the better your chances are of being succesful.

So go for it.

Where exactly do you see the stars (havent got that far yet or didn't notice them) I didn't know that I had to set the stars, when/where do you do this? I was thinking that the stars were already there to tell you the likelyhood of a transfer being succesful.

Do you play on PC, ps2, or X-Box, I started with the X-Box and I just bought the PC version with a Logtech controller (ps2 style) and I'm in the process of trying to configure it.

Your help is greatly appreiciated!

[ScousEvolution]

I play the ps2 version, and on the master league set up section, amongst game time, difficulty level, and all the rest, there is something about transfer difficulty.

I would load up my ps2 copy and let you know exactly what to do, but I haven't got it at the moment.

I think you should post the question in the relevant section on this site and you should get a response pretty quickly.

Just ask how you set the transfer difficulty and frequency in the master league mode on the xbox or pc.
