Catch Up Bug Fix

[tross840]

So Idk if im in the minority but I'm really enjoying this game.

Anyway so im playing Real Madrid vs Arsenal and I play a through ball to Bale hes screaming away then Per Mertesacker catches him and I'm in shock. Then i realized how to beat it.

If you just hold down sprint they will catch up, you are supposed to double tap the sprint button it seems. I've been doing this ever since and I havent seen the catch up bug work at all, ive zoomed away from the last defender time and time again.

Try it and see if it works for you.

also when running dont a straight line to the goal, try sprinting away with your body from the defender (will post a vid to it later)

Indeed, I noticed this the other day also.

Dribble Speed is a key factor - Basically It's the players dribble speed vs the defenders Speed. Obviously whilst you have the ball you will be slower than those without. However if you use the knock forward like you suggested, you are able to use your normal speed until you gain control of the ball again, therefore if you are faster than the defender you will pull away.

If you are not faster than the defender you can try and use the right stick method and try to keep control of the ball and get away using the strength of the player.

But there is some rubber-banding still in the game, but it is not as bad as we all originally thought.

It's not that you are meant to do that, it's terrible game scripting, buy double tapping the sprint, you are simply cancelling the full sprint scripting, hence why this makes it work. This bug still needs fixing big time, like players movement when you throughball it to your player, I bet if you double tap sprint in that situation as well it will help then... But when players get tired, all this fiddliness goes out the window, like my manual defending on pes2013. If I'm tired, I fail, if I play in the day, I'm smashing your candy asses 7-0. Thanks for posting a way of beating it though, but without doubt they need to fix this for all the players who can't be bothered to have to press things they shouldn't have to press (e.g. Ronaldo with the ball under close control is still faster than Mertersacker without it in real life). I for one though will now have a game and try this out and see if I can remotely enjoy it on ps3 until there is a huge patch, so thankyou for coming out with something helpful.

EDIT: Ok, I've given it a go, and it does seem to help, but, and this is a big but on my point, having to double tap run when I havn't got the ball (which it seems I have to do on PS3), then continuously having to do it whilst trying to jossle with it all being on the same side of my ps3 controller has just put my hand into a spasm lol. I got myself some feckin jazz hands going down... If anyone needs some windows cleaning I'm here and ready. It still needs fixing and is annoying. It did make the game, well, half, slightly better, but again, all the other problems on the ps3 just ruined the fun. But if you are on a different console, try what this guy has suggested, it does actually help. I stress though, on PS3, the rubber banding starts before I get the ball, as soon as I turn and my player is on course to run onto the ball, it's like the PS3 goes, well you already have the ball and makes my player run as if I do... (a bit like the pes2013 slow down when you used to press through ball softly and then your player would jog beside the ball instead of running onto it)

You mean to tell me people weren't aware that you weren't running at full speed when you just hold down the sprint button? Ah lads, come on. Besides the rubber banding is still a bit there but as ye say, but you rarely notice it or happens at all when your running at full sprint by tapping the sprint button. I noticed it only once when I was at full sprint with one of the italian wingers, mertesacker caught him like a lunatic(that was on the demo). Hasn't happened to me since though, well, that has been obvious anyway.

[MENTION=223040]$anzi£[/MENTION]: You don't need to double tap all the time when you haven't got the ball, your player is already running at full speed. You only need to start doing it just before your first touch of the ball to make him keep sprinting at full speed, and obviously for every touch after that as you know already. No need to do it before that.

Its not actually a bug, its meant to be like that. The in menu controls tell you how to do it. It only applies when you have the ball. When holding down sprint without the ball your at full sprint, when your on the ball your not at full sprint, you need to double tap for that.

 

[orlandoSPUR]

The game is not meant to be played by just holding the sprint button down, it's about changing the pace your player goes in relation to where another player is on the field. Some of the dribbling you can do looks amazing when going past the com, use L1 to move your body, mix up the r1 with taps and longer presses. Use l2 to modify the speed. Use the right analog to hold off an opponent or make a quick cut, move

I know mate, but what I'm saying is, the rubber banding thing is happening to me before i get to touch the ball, it's happening as I get a few paces away from it... it's like I'm running like I have the ball at my feet, when I don't, hence I'm having to tap early... I know what the tapping of sprint does, it was the same in PES13,PES12,PES11 matter of a fact, I can't remember when it wasn't like that. :tongue:

E.G. I put it through to Ballotelli, I must be a quarter of a pitch ahead of some slow ass defender, I am zooming away, but as I get a few paces away from the ball, I turn around (not literally) only to see this guy is magically fingering my butt hole as if he was holding onto a piece of string that was comming out of it lol. Who said to look at the controls to see how to run, psshhhhh now, now someone's insulting my intelligence, just because you have the improved fancy pants XBOX or PC version ;-) (puts on his balaclava) I'm comming for your console Rat!

Who still plays pes by holding the sprint button down? Thats been a recipe for disaster ever since pes 11... People should have stopped doing that years ago. Just one thing, l1 to move body, l2 to modify speed??? Are you playing pes 2014? l1 is to change player when defending or to manual run a player when attacking,, or when you have the ball, to perform chips, one two's or lofted throughballs. l2 is simply to manual do whatever... you're now just making things up lol

EDIT: How many strikes do I get on this double posting this? Because I'm pissing myself off with it.

Rat man, I'm not calling you Ratman, I'm just saying Rat.... man, don't think you squeak or shiznit like that... The guy above said he was playing on professional in another post on ps3 and he liked it, put it on professional, and it basically fixes the game on ps3, the ai, rubber banding, hell even the computer is better and it feels smooth. I can now enjoy the game like you! whoop whoop

Are you telling me the game is actually fully responsive now after you put it on professional?

 

[markcross]

all this double tapping??? isnt this goin back to the decathlon events on the old atari ffs, surely theres more to pes2014 than double tapping your way to score.....

Lol yea pretty much... I was winning 1-0 every game on Top player or Superstar, but the CPU team was rubbish as well as me, neither of us could do anything... turned it to professional, won my first game 3-2, then lost 2-1, but it was a happy loss... Don't have a clue what they have done to top player and superstar, they need to fix that and online, there is slight rubber banding, not much, but yea, its almost like they have gone, we don't know how to make the game better on ps3 from professional, so we will just make the game screw you instead, thats what it feels like... so atleast I can have good games on professional until they do a patch where they fix the top player and superstar modes.

Wow, the version you have is really fucked up. So you've no input lag now do you like you did before?

Lets put it this way... My defenders seem to respond better, I seem to be able to do crisper passes, the rubber banding is nowhere near as bad, I can now tackle someone if he is jogging towards me head on lol, my players are actually making half decent runs, The CPU can string more than 2 passes together, Jossling seems to work now. Mertersacker is no longer as fast as Ronaldo lol... Lets just say it's a hell of alot better :laugh: Even the computer is scoring decent goals against me, not bobble bobble bobble, or scripting error, scripting error, scripting error.

Well at least you can enjoy it a bit now anyway. Overcome with joy? Probably stickin your dick in the PS3 at this stage.:laugh:

Mate, if I had the CD version it would be unplayable by now, the stains would stop the cd from working... I can actual pass it about and do flicks (flicks and backheels that didn't seem to happen before) and even though I'm conceding more goals, I can actually defend better, it doesn't make sense, but it does, based on the fact I was having 67% possession before but having a shoddy pass completion. I can play it like I did PES13, I hated throughball spamming on the pes before and used to pass it around like Barca and wait for space, this game now feels like it's made for the way I play, I think I'm gonna have a mental fit.

Who still plays pes by holding the sprint button down?

Sprinting still works if you get a quick striker in a bit of space. I scored tons of slalom goals but didn't save any because they somehow looked boring :/. Though I might have experienced a bug. Some guy on one other forum complained that his players suddenly entered god-mode... He could run through the enemy defense with Zokora time and time again on top difficulty. He deleted all game data, reinstalled, and it was the same thing. With me it wasn't quite like that. Sometimes I could go through the entire enemy defense with one guy, and sometimes I'd lose the ball just like that over and over. Maybe it's the new "Heart" feature - I haven't the faintest clue how it works.

I had them problems on Superstar and top player, switched it to professional and most the problems disappeared and the computer got better, dunno what they have done on ps3, but it works on professional.
