Flop United

[Estill]

OK, so everyone has specified their dream team, their favourite players etc, but now what about the biggest flops. Put your team of 11 players of which you have either bought in ML thinking theyre good but they really aren't, or players you have seen in real life to be brilliant but are awful in the game.

Mine would be.....

GK:Barthez - Small GK's aren't suited for Pro 4.
DR:Josemi - Slow and no stamina, always substituted.
DL:Ashley Cole - Just not as nippy and quick as real life. Too weak and small.
DC:F. Couto - LOL What a joke, thought he was a good buy, cheap for a season or two. VERY WRONG!
DC:Van Buyten - Top of the ratings and MVP of the year for Hamburg. Not for me though, truly awful.
MR:Beckham - Shock Horror, personally I have never liked Beckham on Pro, too slow and his long passes which have effect in life dont on Pro. FK's are ok though. Hard from close range.
ML:Robben - Biiiiiiiiggggg let down. Thought he would be immense, very mistaken.
MC:Scholes - Again, his game is effective in real life, but players like Scholes just dont get involved on Pro
CF:Adriano - God I love him in real life. God I hate him on Pro. Sloppy with a keen eye for the crowd, he just never scores. AAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH
CF:Cruz - What a waste of money! Scored a couple for Inter on ML, 31 years old, get him in for a season with my ageing squad. He aged them more. What a load of ****.

Ok, so lets see who you think are flops on Pro 4!

 

[Lorenzinho]

GK: Cech
LB: Ashley Cole
RB: Trabelsi
CB: Ferdinand
RM: Joaquin
LM: Duff, Robben
CM: Gerrard
OM: Scholes

RB: Thuram
CB: Campbell
CB: Mellburg
RM: Duff
LM: Giggs
CM: Viera (very slow)

[Hunter]

Robinho.
Adu.
Barthez.

 

[wr50l]

Lorenzinho, try Joaquin at OMF, he's immense.

 

[sameri yoda]

i would have winston bogarde at centre back and taibi in goal

 

[Haz-e]

Interesting you mention Adriano Estill, he's always my top scorer .

I'm not sure whether I have an all-time eleven of shitty transfers but here's a list:

Some free chinese centre-back, looked good, played awful.
Rooney - just can't play with the bastard
C. Ronaldo - same as above
Tevez - also absolutely rubbish
Edmilson - plays great for Barca, as soon as I bought him his stats went down and he turned into a steaming pile of monkey shite

 

[Estill]

LOL Haz-E, I hear alot of pro-Adriano shouts, but I just dont get him to be honest. Seems to be a pattern emerging by the way of recurring players (Rooney, Robben, Ashley Cole)

 

[LiamK]

Adriano doesn't work for me either, he can't control it. Although you can score some stunners with him because of his shot power, and he's good in the air.

I think all wingers are shit on PES4. Even the slowest full backs can catch up with them and it's so difficult scoring from crosses that I just use them to run in-field.

 

[pbchillin]

Robben and Gilardino for me, good, but don't develop as much as i would have expected.

 

[adams9802]

Robben and Gilardino for me, good, but don't develop as much as i would have expected.

Robben is excellent for me but some of the following:

Reyes: never really scores, I had him in but then he got edged out by Van PErsie (who went on to score 19 league goals)

Pires never gets into the box and picks up the garbage like he does in real life.

Aimar: a peice of crap, can't do anything.

Baros: 4th best player in the world my arse!

 

[Estill]

Robben and Gilardino for me, good, but don't develop as much as i would have expected.

You havin a laugh pal?! Robben I agree but for me, Gilardino is one of the best developers on the game and one of the most realistic.

I say this because he steadily improved from age 22 right up to the age of 28, he reached his peak at this age and was comfortably leading the "Total Goals and Assists Rankings" with a crazy amount of goals!

 

[frenchfranck3]

adu and ronaldinho have been crap for me and i was playing adu on the left and ronaldinho at omf and they did nothing for me i prefer hargreaves at omf

 

[Estill]

Yea Adu is pretty crap. Ronaldinho is in my opinion one of the best players on the games quite easily...

Matter of opinion really....

 

[chris248]

adriano i like playin with on the normal game but on the master league i cant get a formation 2 suit him, prefer saviola up front. i signed di canio once he was reborn, truly awful, waitin 4 end of season 2 offload him

 

[fluke88]

adriano
gerrard
lampard
cole
lots more just cant fit them all on here.

 

[yonson99]

on the last few versions of PES i've found Christian Vieri to be rubbish. I know he's got great stats and that, but he just never seems to score for me, whether it's in master league or playing as Inter.

 

[Cray]

what about the PES version of the player is better than real life?

i would say Beckham

 

[chris248]

i fink vieri is a good player 2 play wiv, strong and good with headers. wont b ne gud 4 the master league as is too old 4 the money u would hav 2 pay

 

[Trumbot]

Don't pick up Fortune. He can barely play through 1 half.
