I second that.
Giggs is also underrated.
Although I like Smithy, he seems a bit on the good side in this one.

Its not all about stats. Stars and their size makes a difference to how they play. ie. little players are faster and more nimble. So Messi and Lennon are actually faster than they look.

Adriano!

many of you guys keep referring to overated and underated players based on stats. if u actually play with the players you will realise players like adriano are not overated. his stats are overated just like in real life on paper hes overated, but in the actual game he cannot finish! he has sumin like 99 for accuracy yet ive had numerous one on ones wiv the keeper and he cant cut it! his stats dont match up when u actually play wiv him!

no offence mate but maybe its your fault he doesn't finish the 1 on 1's its a little harder on pes6 than previous versions

the most underated player for me in the prem is robbie savage he grafts his arse off like and blackburn miss him when he isnt in the side

the most overated player for me is probly shevchenko i knew when he first come to the prem he will not get half as many goals as he did when playing for ac milan.

(Gattuso is underrated) full stop

That's a great call , typically the flair players get much better stats that the destroyers even though they are just as important.

Quotation in agreement. Football is a very complicated philosophy and every one has his vision. But I think, I usually say it, the most sensitive position on pitch is the defensive and the center midfielder. Even though, the strikers are always in the spotlight.

Kolo Toure, Walcott, Gary Neville, Crouch, IMO are underrated. Can't think of any overrated ones that haven't been mentioned already.. I reckon that the stats are generally better this time round.

Lampard is way overrated, i dont think ive seen him give the ball away yet. Actually its quite accurate as he is well overrated in real life.

Underated -
Jeremie Clement - Rangers
Aiden Mcgeady - Celtic (dribbling is terrible in the game)
Shaun Maloney - Celtic (just about every stat is quite low)
Shunsuke Nakamura - Dribbling,passing,shooting is underated
Cesc Fabregas (Dunno what konami are doing)
Freddie Adu (guy may be young but is way underrated)
Juninho (Lyon) Passing could be better and shooting ability
James McFadden - everton -Dribbling and pace could be better
Tim Cahill - everton - Alot of stats should be altered
Stillian Petrov - Aston Villa - General ability should be higher
Gareth Barry - Aston Villa - General ability should be higher
Craig Bellamy - Liverpool - Acceleration should be slightly higher
Darren Fletcher - Man UTD - passing should be slightly higher
Craig Gordan - Heatrs/Scotland - described as one of the best up and coming GK in the world but isnt reflected in the slightest.
Moutinho - Sporting Lisbon - Skill dramatically underratted -
Kenny Miller - Celtic - Acceleration should be around 93

Overated Ability
Rio Ferdidnand
Adriano

Overated Points
Shaun Wright-Phillips - 1000+ Points where as he was roughly 600/700 before
Robinho -1442..... whats going on here last was just under 1000
Ballack - 1600+......Yet again quite highly over priced

Underrated Points
C.Ronaldo - One of the best players in the world? Why 760+?
Other
Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard and adriano can run through on coming trains this is slightly unrealistic

Ronaldinho gets alot of lucky breaks but this is generally what he is like

C.Ronaldo has brilliant dribbling ability but doesnt really display them in the game

Arjen Robben - Should be slightly Faster

Opinion.......

All these players and many more should be altered, but this is in my opinion, Different people will say different things.

Recoba / Was a hot prostpect / Has done little since ronaldo departed
Ronaldo / Alot of personal problems with Madrid, No team would Knock back his Signature
Ronaldinho / Stage fright/ Has yet to show his Genius on the big stage
Rivaldo / Was one of the best players / Now getting on isnt as fast, skillfull or as deadly in the box.

Overatted -
HENRY BY A MILE (HES BETTER THAN PELE OR MARADONA ON PES FFS)
Ronaldo (used to be brilliant, PES seem to think he still is. Hes still good, but not as good as Konami seem to think)
andriano (cant score from that far, hit it as well, or use his rightfoot in rea-life like on Pes)
Lampard. (good at everything according to PES. Hes only like that on good form, not all the time like on PES)

Underatted
Messi
Robinho
John Terry.
vidic
carrick
gary neville.

20 years from now Henry will be mentioned in the same catergory as Pele & Maradona (Legends)

I think he needs to light up a World Cup first .....

I agree with some people's comments here.

The most underrated players that stand out for me are Gary Neville and Lehmann.

Gary Neville is hugely influential for both England and Man Utd. And Lehmann has improved hugely recently and had a great season with both Arsenal and Germany.

Both deserve better stats in my opinion.

Gary Neville isn't by any mean underrated. As a player, he isn't that impressive. However, he is tactically good and this is the point. Lehmann also isn't underrated. He stops very dangerous chances and on the other hand, he let easy goals to hit the back of his net. Rate him now.

I think Lehmann is underrated on it, His GK Skills is only on 79 and he isn't even in the German squad.

And Gerrard is overrated. :tongue:. I don't know why Konami didn't create Gerrard and Alonso faces properly. They are two of the most famous footballers.

Im dissapointed with Tim Cahill's stats for heading. He is a great player as heading and timing his jumps. His heading and jumping should be in the 90's at least where as they are only in the low 80's on the game

Last time I saw Cahill's doing a header (yes, i'm an arsenal fan) he seemed like he really wasn't all about the headings, he really missed it out [arsenal-everton]. That doesn't happen in a player with 90+ heading as you say.



Under rated:
van Persie
Fabregas
Crouch

Ferdinand

Gerrard's just a colossus :ninja:. I agree about the faces Gerrard's face on PES5 was unique but Konami have got it all wrong for PES6. Alonso's on the other hand is a big improvement from what they were using for PES4 and 5.
