Different Styles... Reflected?

[choo_cs]

It just occurred to me about this.
I've been reading lots of people's opinions on the forum and I just can't wait to get my hands on my copy of PES5... Which is still waiting at the darn docks... Boo hoo...

Anyway, I always found that in previous installments of PES/WE, the styles of play that are unique to each league in real-life was never really well reflected in the game. Not that it takes anything from the enjoyment of the PES/WE series.

Like in PES4/WE8, I found myself playing every match as though it were an EPL game. Always closing in during defence. Even with Italian powerhouses like Milan and the like, it was hard to play zone-marking and the AI would always close in quickly when I had the ball. It could be the way I've gotten used to playing the game, but I'm just wondering whether this has been better reflected in PES5/WE9.

Like I said, not that it takes anything away from the fun of the game. Just curious.

WE7 leagues were same but WE8 changed quite a bit for Serie A. When you play Serie A league in WE8 the formation are tighter and marking much tighter than other leagues. The play is quite locked like Zidane mentioned, its just so crowded everywhere so its the only league where you have to adjust. All the others vary from each other only slightly, and EPL uses the most longballs just like in real life. Pes5 is same or slightly better.

p.s. I only play leagues and not master league that could be why its more life like for me, cuz in master league the com teams will constantly adjust their formations, so Serie A teams might not have realistic Italian formations.
