Penalties

[Athlon_]

Great game though PES is this year, there is just one thing: penalties.

The penalty system sits in the game like a giant mound of dog dirt.

I am thinking about starting a petition in the Offical Feedback section to get Konami to bring back the old penalty system as soon as possible, maybe in one of the patches.

It wasn't perfect, but it was a mile better than this. Just until they come up with something better.

Would people be up for that?

I was bitching about it. I'll try to explain how to take them. The system is not that bad once you get used to it.

Taking penalties:
1. Press the shoot button. This will allow your player to start the run.
2. After your player has start the run, you will decide to which post to aim towards (or down the middle). I usually do this after the player takes 1.5-2 steps and hold it for at most a second. The longer you hold it, the closer to the post. Look at though, you might miss the goal completely. Try it in training mode.

If this is your goal (bear with me cause I'm drawing it on here):

Post 1


Goalie (facing =>)


Post 2

If you want to aim for Post 1, you will press up. If you want to aim for Post 2, you will press down.

3. Right after I choose my shot direction, I can choose the height of the ball. If I want it to be a low shot. Don't do anything else. If you wan't to add some height to it. Press the direction the goal is in, right after you choose the height.

Example: if I want a low shoot on post 1. I will press shoot, 1.5-2 steps are taken, then I hold up for less than a second.

Example 2: if I want to shoot a hard shot middle, I will press shoot, then press the direction the goal is after 3-4 steps.

Example 3: if I want a hard shot towards post 2, I will press shoot, 1.5-2 steps are taken, hold down for less than a second, then press direction goal is in.

Goalkeeper:
Just press and hold the direction you want to dive, using the same concept and press shoot.

Hope it helps. Practice it in training. Penalty system isn't that bad once you know how it works.

i too have been struggling with penalties on this one. i simply tapped on shoot and it kept blazing over the bar.

Thanks for the walkthrough Forzamilan84. ALthough I still hate the system, I feel I am getting to grips with it. I've already missed 2 penalties in my first four ML matches. Two points damn it :realmad:.

I also found using the d-pad instead of the stick helps.
