How many of you are playing as a CB?

[0zz]

Hey! I play as a CB in BAL and I find this position very fascinating.Anyone else playing at CB?

 

[a.w]

Do you enjoy it?
I guess CB can't carry the ball too long, and the only excitement is when we do clean tackle or blocking

 

[TheHig]

No, I'm CF but I have been RB in prevoius games and enjoyed it, I will give CB a go.
Its a good idea as you can stop the defence pissing about with the ball, and anticipate when your partner centre back will turn into the opposition and cover the space so its not a 1 on 1

Do I enjoy it? Hell yeah! I've been given skipper's armband after one season, scored 15 goals (about 10 of them were match winners) and made countless interceptions. Also you can easily wreck other players legs and see them leaving the pitch with injuries, makes me feel like Van Bommel.Mabe it's me but I fell like AI behaves better when u play as a CB, when I go upfield, someone's staying behind to cover, and when I stay my SB are joining attacks cause "imo" AI knows I'll be there to destroy attack or attackers legs! But that's just me...

I've never tried playin as CB, I think everyone goes for all the glory and picks CF! I may give this a go when I get home. Sounds pretty good. What team are you playing for?

 

[Ali]

I'd imagine you'd see lots of the ball. I didn't mind when I was strangely played in DM, though I spent most of my time further up. Being a CF can get frustrating, it's better to play in AM or CM because you can get more of the ball, still have the glory of scoring goals too.

I dont think id see a lot of the ball but i guess it can be a good idea and most AI defence is shit.

Pity we can't tackle someone chest in PES, that will make you De Jong
LOL
I'm kinda intersted to try it mate:happy:
by the way, playing as CB will be rarely end as man of the match right?

10-12 times per season, that's enough to get to Best 11. My training tip for you is to get two cards for your player - PK tacker and Slide Tackle, it will make huge difference!

Ok mate
Will try it
Kinda bored being CF and AMF
Can't wait to try to be the new Frank De Boer

How the heck you scored 15 goals as a CB.

I guess he's the PK taker, that's why he said to train that card
Maybe the rest is from corners or free kick

 

[0zz]

You are right about PK a.w , but I don't score many from corners, I prefer to be extra attacker, finishing counters is what I like.

Hey mate, can you give me info bout the skills that can't be improved when we play BAL?
Aggresion?Agility?
Anything else?
Or maybe skills with slow improvement

thanx mate
tried to play as a CB but i just keep going forward
LOL:w00t

So it's not easy to train speed, header accuracy and agility. What u can train is passing, stamina, power. I cheated a bit cause I spend couple of hours trying different creation setups to get player 78 overall at 17 years of age. Then I focused training on stamina,power and I put special attention to passing, it will give you an advantage. Don't go to attack too often until u play like 20 games. After that team will take care of your position, because of your defensive performance, they will allow you to go forward,just make sure to pick good actions, not every single one. Finally you'll learn to play more overall football, combining well at both ends of the pitch, and believe me even with shitty shooting stats I can score some screamers.

 

[a.w]

Speed progress is so slow
Response even grow faster than speed
I guess agility, aggresion won't get improve just like in PES2010(if I'm not wrong)

I know mate, I tried lots of times til i get a good skill
then i start my BAL
LOL
