Please... help me get better at defending. I've read/watched every tutorial I can find, I've spent over 600 hrs combined between PES2015/16, I've posted about it numerous times, and I'm still no better and defending than I was on day one.
Every tutorial I can find is about tactics: how to setup strategy, what the different options mean, etc. Or gameplay strategy tips, e.g., don't dive, don't ball-chase, protect the area in front of goal, etc.
But what I struggle with is the more basic stuff: how do I get my player to run over here? How do you cover a player? How do you intercept passes? If I position my player to intercept the ball, the game AI just has him ignore it. How to you win the ball back? What buttons do you push? What do the different buttons do? It seems like you just press A and hope the game does something good for you. You're supposed to press it at the "correct time", but again, how? I see an opening for a tackle, and press A and the game tackles later, when it feels like it, in whatever direction it feels like. How do you even reach the level of tactics when the game won't let you just run left?
Yes, I've done all the tutorials. In the tutorial, you press A and the AI wins the ball back for you. In the actual game, you press A and the game doesn't win the ball for you. What am I missing?
I know there must be more to it, but I can't figure it out and it's giving me fits. Thanks for any help.
