FUCKING RIO AVE. Those fockers are the best team in my game. I beg you, please play a 10 minute game against them in Exhibition.
Good part: I used to play in Pro. It is easy, I end the season with 30W 4D 0L in the domestic league, etc. I went to Top Player. Complete and utter shit: the opposition has magnetic legs and heads, and the ball is made of iron. They just pass the ball on their back, have a 190 cm plus attacker, long pass to him, you can't get the ball back, goal. And the goals... I would suffer an own goal every two games, and the rest is so, so bad it is just frustrating. Nevertheless, I kept on winning, even won more games than on Pro, but suffered way more goals and I wasn't enjoying it. So I switched back to Pro.
On this difficulty level Rio Ave is the best AI I've played against. I've put Real Madrid off the UCL on semis with an agg of 0-10, won the UCL final with 65% possession, 20 shots, 4-0, etc. I'm playing better than ever. And then those little fockers that play a possison game just like Top Player, but in the midfield, grab a 4-4 draw on the first match, and lose 5-3 on the second round.
They have a CF named Hassan which is 190 cm tall, as fast as Ronaldo, dribbles and feints like Messi, shoots from distance like no real player. It's stupid. But it's enjoyable. Those are the only matches that are balanced, without the fucking backline possesion and god like attributes. Apart from that fella. But I think that is a thing from every PES game: a reasonably fast and tall/strong player is just overhyped
