BAL takes the p***

[Rick451]

I'm in International Cup European Qualifiers, and i'm on the bench for England and usually get subbed in, in the second half. Anyway, our first game is Bulgaria, in the first few mins we concede, then at about 30 mins, we concede again, and in the 35th min we concede a penalty which was luckily saved by Hart. Long story short, I get subbed on and assist 2 goals and we draw 2-2. Surely they weren't playing in BAL mode England would have won easily.

Next game is against Hungary and i'm on bench again. First half we conceded 2 goals again and then I get subbed on in the 80th min and have barely any time to come back and we end up losing 2-0.

It seems whichever team i'm on can never score unless i'm on the pitch and always concedes when i'm on the bench. It's pissing me off tbh :realmad::realmad::realmad:

That would do my head in!What level you playing at Rick451?Im usually getting subbed after 65-70 mins but at least im starting every game at club level.In the first season got selected for England in that same championship and did ok getting top scorer,then at the end of second season started for England and more or less youve gotta get 3 goals up or get beat when your subbed off!Im only just moving upto the third difficulty in my third season have i got this to look forward too!

Whats worst is getting subbed in when the game is almost over, why even bother putting me in during the 89th minute? Do you get to play the whole game latter in your career?

 

[Rick451]

Believe it or not but i'm playing on easiest difficulty >.<

Hey to start at the begining aint such a bad thing!I was going to keep it on beginner until i won all the trophies!My players in his third season aged 19 with a stamina of 86 and i managed a full match by standing still the full second half!Stationery is the way forward lol!.

You think that Bulgaria can't beat England (Bulgaria has Petrov, Berbatov, Bojinov etc)

Even though PES doesn't always factor in "realistic gameplay", like nerves and whatnot, most teams can have a good/bad day.

Remember, England didn't qualify for the 2008 Euro Championship.

 

[Rick451]

Ok, but losing 2-0 to Hungary when we had Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney, Ferdinand on the pitch was even worse then the Bulgaria match :huh:

Believe it or not but i'm playing on easiest difficulty >.<

Wouldn't that make your own team's AI play even worse though, too?

The game is only decent when played on "Top Player", honestly.
The difficulty doesen't make it much harder, especially not in BAL mode, it only makes it more realistic and in many ways easier.

Harder to dribble, easier to win games but you won't always be the big star of every game until you get really good.

Also, try downloading an editor and do some "Global editing" to make the game even better and more realistic.

Defence: Reduce by 25%
Balance: Increase by 5%
Stamina: Increase by 10%
Top Speed: Reduce by 67%
Acceleration: Reduce by 33%
Agility: Reduce by 50%
Short pass speed: Reduce by 25%
Long pass speed: Reduce by 25%
Shot accuracy: Reduce by 10%
Heading: Increase by 10%
Technique: Increase by 5%
Aggression: Reduce by 67%
Teamwork: Increase by 25%

The tweaks is discovered by "bluchampblogger" on evo-web forums, i'm just pasting them, because these adjustements are way better than the ones i came up with.

use "PRO-EVO Editing Studio v1.3" or "PES 2009 Editor v2.9" and select the "Global" column to fix your game.

The result is a very realistic sim of a football game in Premier Division pace, not as fast paced and arcade-ish as PES originally is, and player movement animations are shown to it's full and not cut in half like the retail.

You can use "PRO-EVO Editing Studio v1.3" to edit your BAL savegame to reduce you own players Pace and Acceleration down to the new level set in the game if you don't want your player to be "superfast"

[Sabatasso]

I don't know about PS3, but the progs i mentioned works for XBOX 360 at least.
