True, but changes made to special abilities carry over to ML. (another bizarre example of Konami inconsistency) I get the point about the form arrows, they can make quite a difference if most of your players are on red/orange.

Agreed...We gamers collectively do more play-testing of PES than Konami could ever do, and if we can find ways to improve their game, why not? If there was a way of decreasing the number of penalties awarded, I'd change that too.

To see the in-game effect of a stat, just edit an entire team so that the stat you are interested in is set to "1", then play a game and behold the difference. Simple.

Been tinkering with this for a few games - There's a new ''special ability' called 'line positioning' - if you give a star to your mids and fwds, they don't seem to stray offside so frequently, and check their runs more sensibly. But yeah, that's a lot of editing to do...

Yeah I agree with you about the poor midfield play and dodgy defensive AI... if you can be bothered, try putting a marking star to ALL outfield players in 'special abilities'; by improving the marking there is less space which makes it harder to move up the pitch quickly and creates more of a...

Actually I think the biggest improvement they could make to WE8 would be to improve the marking, then most of my complaints would probably disappear. To me this is the most significant gameplay difference between WE8 and WE7. I love all the other improvements they've made tho'.

Obi I agree with you. When I first played WE8 I was mesmerised by the fantastic new touches Konami had put into the game, the improved tackling etc, but I'm beginning to feel now that they are mostly surface improvements. Yep, the menus, loading times, player animations, long passing, numbers of...

ok this is frustrating the hell out of me, I'm having the same problem, no matter which options I choose nothing seems to happen and the names are still in japanese. Does anyone have a vague translation of the menus that appear after you've clicked on "load WE7 option file"? And what are those...

My success with defending corners has improved dramatically since I put marking stars to all my players apart from forwards. And overall gameplay is much better too...

Give him a 'reaction' special ability, helps to get him forward too.

If u can be bothered, putting a star to 'reaction' special ability increases a players forward run tendency.

all of the above plus: taking control of a defender chasing a forward and despite holding R1, he just ambles for a few seconds, letting the forward escape winning the ball in a slide tackle but getting penalised when the opponent runs into you monotonous CPU strategy of blazing away...

Best thing to do is tap and release, tap and release etc. the triangle button rather than keep yer finger on it, that way the keeper updates his trajectory continuously instead of zooming off like a blind goose. But yeah, this is really annoying. And manual keeper control seems to be even...

what bugs me is the way the CPU decides for you which defender you control when the corner comes over. Don't touch L1 and the player you control will flick to someone else. Arrgh!!

definitely a tackling stat.. this is a major oversight by Konami. I'd like to see a 'dirty bastard' stat... the higher it is, the more likely a player is to injure someone with a tackle. Injuries seem a bit random at the moment although they do get worse with more mistimed tackles. This would...

How about an option to send a streaker onto the pitch? Followed by the mandatory chase around the park and eventual rugby tackle to the ground....I can just hear Trevor Brooking quip "Now there's really no need for that sort of thing in football"

The changes I suggested have an effect in two player games too as it affects all non-player-controlled players behaviour. At least now I can start ML again knowing I won't get bored after two seasons.... There's a bit of scope for improving the AI by adjusting the special abilities - you can...

One thing that's always bugged me about PES3 is that I feel the marking isn't very tight, it's just too easy to find space and to get from one end of the pitch to the other. So, I tried a simple edit a la PES2, and the game has improved drastically IMO. try this: put a marking star to all...

Yeah, I use CB overlap sometimes, if I'm desperate for a goal. Otherwise it's not all that useful. You can assign one of your CBTs to basically make forward runs into the opposition area and you end up with an extra attacker (and of course, a bit exposed at the back). It's quite a good idea...

I also play WE7 with Reloaded patch and the gameplay seems a little different to unpatched WE7, have the stats been mucked about with in Reloaded? Heading seems easier, more like PES3.
