I've been reading across these forums and others and the amount of complaints that the game is TOO HARD is staggering. Last year people complained that the game was too easy, now I'm not KONAMI's biggest fan after their previous next gen disappointments, but this year they have given you a range of 6 DIFFICULTIES and still people complain that's it too hard.
Try this guys, if you're getting stuffed at one particular level, drop down a notch!! It's not fkin rocket science. I'm not ashamed to say, but this year it's the first footy game for like ever that I've had to drop down to even Regular to perfect that. Then when I was comfortable you move to professional etc...
How are people saying that it's too hard then, what people can't win on novice or beginner or whatever the hell it is??
I feel this is symptomatic of the 'me me me now now now' generation, if you can't pick up and play the game within five minutes the toys come out of the pram. I played the demos to death, and I'm currently playing the retail to death. For people on about FIFA this and FIFA that I more or less perfected a way to play inside a day. ONLY NOW AM I COMFORTABLE WITH PES after caning it every day of my life for like two or three months!!!!
What do you guys want like?
Bear in mind that a game is released and you have year with it, and people expect to just nail it inside a week...you should be grateful it is this difficult!
To all the moaners, it simply must be you doing something wrong or not playing it like a football game, you must have got your defensive unit pressing and jockeying all to whack and you must be tackling left, right and centre. I'm up to Superstar mode, for me it's the best mode in the game. There are little or no cheats, you have to wait for your openings but likewise the CPU will be devastating to any tactical blunders. For me on the PC, I use Jenkey's patch to have harder shots and with the ball more weighted. I also use speed at around 87 or so, don't know what that is on the old gamespeed slider but for me, now, the game is near enough to perfection with my scoreboard, kits and grounds together with the gameplay alterations.
I agree with some of the moaners that Top Player is an excuse for the AI to cheat, but it's simple enough to get round, learn to play on Superstar.
I mean fk me guys, what do you all want? Do you want for the CPU to just lay down with it's ass in the air?!? The beauty of this years game is that there are no easy avenues to exploit, on professional and even Top Player the CPU would let the wings be exploited for easy crosses, in Superstar that doesn't happen unless you work the space. Likewise there is no one repetitive thing fits the CPU, the CPU will vary it's attacks.
Honestly, I sometimes think people just like to slam KONAMI for anything, this year you have the aforementioned 6 game difficulties, gamespeed alterations, camera angles, and if you're lucky enough to have a PC a whole range of other customisable things. Then they make the game harder that you literally have to play a trillion games to get good at (isn't that the point of a new game?!?) and then the moaners come out that they can't beat Man City 4-0 anymore.
The football you can play on this is absolutely brilliant. I use a combination of possession play and long balls to Carroll. If I feel that the CPU is stifling the game against a lesser team, then it's up to Carroll time. Combined with the lovely control of Suarez these two are dynamite together. Then if I'm sitting on a lead, I'll bring Kuyt on for his backtracking runs and work rate....it's all there peeps, don't even begin to tell me that FIFA offers this amount of thought and depth to each individual player, I can stick Reina up front and he'll score like fkin Pele.
Think of it this way instead of looking at the negatives, when I used to get trounced by Bayern when Robben and Robbery were causing havoc and winning 4-0 I could have just said this game sucks and pouted. I took that as what AM I DOING WRONG, why are these two players causing me headaches every game, and I learned (albeit slowly) that once I played a certain system against them with certain players in my team I could restrict their carnage to a minimum and also free up Eto for the counter attacks (this was in the demo). Aren't people grateful for that type of intricacy in a game. I remember having lots of trouble against Rangers because their long ball game would cause carnage for my CB's, but then I tried a DMF right in front of them to pick up the second ball and suddenly their tactic was nullified. I also couldn't break them down in defence because they were deep....well guess what I switched one of my strikers for a midfielder and dropped my CF who was all the way up right down to the furthest he would go, this had the effect of drawing their players out of defence and they would be more prone to the one two through ball. ALL THIS JUST FROM THE DEMOS!!
Man what are people smoking these days, I'd doing alright in my ML, but I'm no PES god. Yesterday Arsenal mullarised me, 4-1, their football was astounding, but it was my own fault, I allowed myself to be dominated by their midfield three against my midfield two in hindsight I should have played an extra DMF against them and looked to counter them. But isn't this what football is about? One week Arsenal can go to Man Utd and beat them 2-1, then the next they lose to Stoke or Wolves or something two nil?? It's about constantly adapting to opposition tactics. For me this years game is already providing more depth than I wished for, I just think people need to give it time, and lots of it to appreciate it. Over and out.

Pes always has this bug until a patch fixes it.
