Goalkeepers Fixed for PES2021?

[Antonyc1977]

Just posted this on the PES 2017 forum. Not sure if this applied to PES 2021 too?


Wow, been a while
After experimenting with the recent installations of PES (19, 20, 21 etc), PES 2017 is still my go to game for good game of Footy!

Anyway, the reason for the post... I have learned something very interesting about the Goalkeepers' stats / abilities...
I have found out that "GOALKEEPING" ability merely stupidly amplifies the CATCHING, CLEARING, REFLEXES and COVERAGE abilities.
And this is why the Goalkeepers fly through the air like Superman with some kind of superglue gloves.
If you reduce the "GOALKEEPING" ability right down to 40... the keepers are truly brilliant in their movements and ability.
This also includes errors from the goalkeepers too. Whether they come too far out of their area, they slip over when the grass is wet... these things are like nothing I have come across in this game even after 6 years!

If you also reduce the "CATCHING" down to 64 and leave the rest as they're meant to be, the Keepers pull off saves like I have never seen in the game before.

Please be aware... the Keepers' overall ratings will drop to below 75 for the very best keepers. However, if ALL Keepers get adjusted, it'll all be relative.

Try it and bloody enjoy it!

How do GKs in 2017 behave to headers mate?

Cause something that still amazes me, is that headers, and crosses to a point, are a little bit too OP in 2017.

What i noticed when i was editing players in PES 2020 with stats of pesmaster2017 page, the long pass stat is a bit toned up in many players, and the swerve IIRC, and a lot crosses end up pinpoint, even if the player doesn't have the pinpoint crossing skill, and even if tou cross with his weak foot.

Hey matey, the GK's are pretty good, but unrealistic with their flying and catching. (Hence these changes)

Corners and Crosses are very realistic for players in PES2017. If the players' stats are crap, the crosses can be crap. The GK's depending on their "CATCHING" can fluff clearances too.
I do tend to hit the button for GK's to rush out when a corner or cross comes in, so in PES2017 the GK usually punches the ball clear.

Don't know why crosses are so accurate on the PES 2020 etc, as even when a player has Pinpoint Crossing on PES2017 it's always difficult to pick your own player out. (unless you have Peter Crouch in your side).
