First of all, I've always been a PES fan....always loved it, never liked any other game. (just in case you think I'm here to bash your most favorite game) 
There are some things in PES5 though that make it completely unenjoyable for me and very unrealistic. When I play at 3, 4 or 5 stars I feel I'm being cheated by my own team every single match.
One of the things that I really hate now (after playing PES5 since the day it was released) is that my team mates are always weaker and more passive on the field that the opposition's AI. My team hardly ever tries to intercepts a pass, they never put any pressure on the other team and leave WAY too much space between them and the opposing players.
I've tried every setting, tweaked tactics and lineups till early next morning, but nothing makes a difference.
Also, my players are never stronger than the opposition, and the opposition always reacts and runs 2x as fast. When I last played a game like Brazil vs Iran for instance, my players were constantly pushed off the ball...I didn't manage to make one freaking header nor do I manage to capture the ball without fouls, just cause my team mates just don't do anything! It really drives me insane and taken ALL the fun out of playing PES5 for me!
The biggest thing that cracks me up is that, when you ever played real soccer/football, you know you always should make traingles - which means that the guy who carries the ball always should have two guys to play the ball to. Now my guys often run into eachother (!!) and never help eachother by trying to create some space for themselves. This makes them always out of positiion for both offensive and defensive moments. When I loose the ball (simply because the opposition puts much more pressure on me - which IS realistic), the other team always runs from far away straight to my box, cause nobody of my team is making life difficult for them.
I mean, honestly, how I am supposed to play like a real soccer match, when my team mates are the most stupidest players on the globe ? Now, when I look at the opposing team the level of skill I'd like to see IS in the game....but just not on my team at all.
Any suggestions are very welcome - things like Opp.Side Attack, Zone Pressure, Man Marking, etc don't make any difference for me.....Oh yeah and 9 out of 10 of the shots I make always get blocked!! Always.
After playing PES5 for so long, I have to admit that I don't find it more difficult that the older games, but I do find it VERY unfair and right now a real waste of my time.
