Issues with PES 2012

Really enjoying the challenge of the new PES, especially in 'superstar' mode. Have played PES for many years, and I feel this years edition is a real step in the right direction. However, there are a few niggles that can be really, really frustrating and can spoil an otherwise great game.

1) Computer teams score WAY too often from free-kicks inside 25 yards. Around 70-80% will result in a goal (80-90% with better players), with a man on the line making no difference. Given a dead-ball EXPERT in real football would probably score around 10% of free-kicks, this is pretty annoying and unrealistic.

2) Goalkeepers still (as in 2011 edition) parry too many balls back into the danger area, rarely parrying behind or to the side. This is somewhat mitigated by improved responsiveness from defenders.

3) 1-on-1s are almost impossible to score when running straight in on goal. Virtually all shots are blasted at the 'keeper or wide, regardless of the striker's ability or where the shot is directed.

4) The defense drops much too deep, too quickly, allowing strikers to receive throughballs virtually on top of the goalkeeper. This is probably one of the biggest problems in the game, and can often make defending simply a case of hoping their striker misses the chance. Setting the defensive line as high as possible does not remedy this.

5) Crosses are a bit too effective. It's all to easy for any player, regardless of ability, to whip in an undefendable cross with either foot. This often results in the rather predictable attacking style of getting someone, anyone, to byline and crossing (with low cross being especially difficult to defend.

For your first point have you tried positioning your keeper using L1 and a click of RS? this helps massively. I disagree with number 3 although one on ones can be very tricky but I am loving the shooting system.

Agree with what you say about crossing, don't know why konami removed the option to manual cross. Crossing feels far too automatic.

I agree that the new shooting is excellent, just that straight ahead 1-on-1s are a bit too hard. I now usually just angle my striker to the side, which results is a goal more often than not - though isn't nearly as satisfying.

I've tried moving the keeper, tried putting a man on the line, but it always seems to fly in the same spot, perfectly top corner. It's more the unrealistic accuracy of the computer that I find most annoying, rather than my ability/inability to prevent it.

On the whole, though, I think it's a great game.

I've only been playing BAL so far and the one issue that is driving me nuts is this.

I've played 17 games out of 27. In 10 of the games played, half of them, the FF option doesn't even show up and twice I've all of a sudden taken total control of my teammates. This has happened either starting on the bench or being subbed off.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

I play on the PS3 US version and I did the update to ver 1.01.

KONAMI;

Until a patch is issued to fix the FF option in BAL, I'm done playing BAL mode.

I play on the PS3 US ver 1.01 with an OF. I've saved and restarted multiple times, worked for a couple of games, than no FF option. Whenever this occurs, you get no manager feedback after matches. It just shows the results.

Something else you really need to fix in BAL, my player should never be taken over by the CPU. If the game is built for freedom, than I should always controll my player in BAL mode. Why did you remove the L1 option to have the CPU controll my player?

the game is terrible END OF need to get back to the much more realistic game engine of the previous game and fifa 12 is getting better than last year i can hardly believe im saying this but as they stand both are at best ok and (im gonna be sick) fifa is the better game right now (there I said it)

This comes from somebody who has held pes as one of the best games ever and played them from the series creation Iss (international superstar soccer)

PES 2012 is...A huge step.... in the WRONG direction
