Need Help , I dunno where im going wrong

[hudson22]

This is about my general style of football . I posted something about how to play better in the ps2/ xbox section a while ago , and i found the suggestions very helpfull , they made my overall game more enjoyable, I feel i have more control over matches.. But theres a small problem .. I CAN WIN!!

lol let me explain the reason for this post

I have just completed the first game of ANOTHER new master league ( my last one ended in tears )

These are the stats for my first match ( with the regular master league starting team of unknown players)

Crystal Palace vs AJC ( dunno real name)

Score 0 - 0
Total shots on goal 18 - 1
Shots on target 7 - 0
Penalties 0 - 0
Free Kicks 14 - 9
Corners 4 - 0
Fouls 9 - 14
Off Sides 1 - 2
No cards where given
Possesion (%) 50 - 50


I completely Dominated the match !! Its not just this match , its all matches i play against the computer , i seem to dominate . I have lots of shots and some great build up play but alas no goal !

Am I just the unluckiest man alive or do u guys have the same problem ?

I know the Master league starting team isnt exactly Chelsea Standard but ..

Help me please

Sometimes the game cheats and makes it virtually impossible to score by making your players miss the goal, hit the post or the keeper plays like superman. At times like those, you could try to use the shot fake move to get past the keeper and then you can try to shoot into the empty goal - but sometimes these shots will miss the goal too so you may have to run with the ball across the line

Good luck!

yeah zyg,

but i remember when i first started PES5, i was missing those 6 yard tap ins and my shooting was completly erratic. But after plenty of game time my shooting is back to a high standard and my shot on target percentages are much higher.

So i'm not sure if i'd blame the game for your short-comings hudson22. Just practice and as everyone says these days, use R2.

instead of just hammering the ball near goal, after u press [] hold R2, this gives you a more controlled + accurate shot trust me, if you master this your goals will start to fly in! I use this method quite a lot as it looks good aswell...just slides the ball past the keeper..

 

[Estill]

I agree Gun_Runner. Once you get through to a one-on-one position, stop sprinting and try to come in at the goalie on a diagonal angle, then as you get close and he starts to move out to close you down, tap square and hold down R2. If your player has an ounce of quality, he should neatly place it under/through/round/over the keeper. Looks good too.

Practice is the key though.

thanks, I always forget about R2 , untill after i have taken a shot lol.. so the next match i have i will try using R2 for all close range shots get me in some good practice

if you get past the keeper, make sure you just graze the box button. all you need is a slight tap to put the ball in goal. I've actually had times where the ball hit the post because I smacked it in with a hard kick.

Half the problem is that the default players are, to put it simply, shit!
If you buy a decent striker, and you are managing to play the game ok the goals should start coming.

Pause the game and go into button configuration. Then change the chip shot to (I think) type 2 (the one where you tap :square: to chip), this might help with one-on-ones.


Also when you win the ball in defence or the goalkeeper has it, give it to your full back. You should be able to run quite far before anyone comes to you. Then look at the radar and wait for your winger to be marked by the opposition full back, the two dots will be flashing. Then use the :L1: + :triangle: through ball. You should be able to chip there full back, and your winger will have lots of space to cross.
