New to PES forum, Question on Defending

Hi All, this is my first time on these boards!

I have a question regarding defending on this game.

I have been playing it since launch and learned how to be more and more effective on both side of the pitch. But one thing that still eludes me is how these guys i play against online is able to be at full speed on defense at every moment? out running everyone on my team regardless of speed or physical strength. Ibra getting pushed off the ball no matter how small the defender. People i play against online literally have 4 defenders on top of you before you can even make a touch with the ball to your teammates.

Its really frustrating to me also that the animations of the game actually seem to take away any control over my player when trying to keep posession. I watch guys who dont even get touched lose possesion, then proceed to do a tripping animation that keeps me from even controlling them to contest the defenders tackle. Unbelievable!

How do i better control the ball when being pursued? Im using a custom control setup(fifa style layout) is there a way to protect the ball more efficiently?

Any advice on these things are greatly appreciated!

Thanks

When controlling the ball try not to enter into the jostling animation with the other team, if you do and do not change your direction you WILL lose the ball. Try not to dash dribble when maintaining possession is important.
If the opposition is applying aggressive pressure, be a step ahead. Decide what you want to do with the ball in advance, increase the tempo/pace of passing. What this will result in is the other team being out of position, so they'll be open to through balls and the likes. Always remember that when being tackled at high speed the slightest of change in direction will fail the tackle, either thin air will be tackled or your opponent will see a shitty (yellow) or bloody (red) card.

Oh and while I'm here WELCOME!

When I'm being jostled I turn away from the player. E.g. If I'm scoring left to right, running towards goal (left to right) and a player jostles me from my left side I will turn right (pressing down) and the defender jostling will sort of stumble as he had his body weight leaning on the attacking player prior to the turn. That is a good time to then instantly turn back to the original direction you were running.

You're probably having Ibra man-marked and the opposition is using multiple players to apply pressure etc. If you can't dance your way out perhaps play in other players who will have more space since Ibra has several players on him.

Hi guys,
My last pes was almost a decade ago so i'm too afraid to play online; i can barely handle the cpu on regular! I am playing it on playstation3.

My question is, when i'm playing, i seem to lose all the 50-50 challenges and they keep using some trick to win 95% of them. During a 50-50 when the ball is slightly loose they will stick a toe out to prod the ball away to a team mate. I can't figure out how to do this. And if i do tackle them, they will again toe-poke the loose ball away before my player can control the ball.
It's driving me nuts.

Please help!
