Broken Player Switching Costs me Silly Points in Master League. A Lot.

[The_whisper]

I have lost count of how many times I am leading the game, an important one, only to concede the most stupid goal to level or even lose on some occasions.
The situation gets worse when playing against top speedy sides. Even when I use SEMI-ASSISTED, I still lag behind for switching on-time and get punished. All AI needs to do is to put a simple through ball at my third and my defenders act like they are Sunday league players.
They huff and puff and let the striker through on goal.
Very frustrating.

Oh I hear your brother! On another thread I mentioned this in a massive rant, in particular when I had 3 players on the wing at once the player who I wanted to control I wasn't allowed too. I was Stoke, had Tuncay and Pennant close together with my fullback Pugh bombing on, the ball was in front of Pugh and ... "computer says no" ... basically the ball was in front of Pugh while he kinda jogged behind it making no effort to go to it. The ball went out of play. It was totally ridiculous.

I don't know what it is or how to stop it but its happened when through balls by the CPU has been played into my area causing me to concede really annoying goals.

P.S I guarantee you someone will come on here and slag us off for moaning about PES, I get it in every thread I have something to grumble about!

I have to agree. I have it on either semi-assisted or manual (I can't remember) but either way sometimes I just can't switch to who I want and I'm limited to say 2 or 3 players I can switch to.

So yeah, the player switching needs to be more free and easily controllable. Maybe even something as simple as flicking the right stick while holding LB so you can actually choose which player to switch too by how you direct your push of the right stick.
