The best defending techniques

[tomo1811]

i used the defending training on pes3, the beginners bit lol, i did it to see if i cud gets sum pes points any way it shows ya how to force an attacker back into it own half i dont defend tht much as im a gung ho kinda guy but when i played real madrid in master league wid deportivo they were all over me, i just went to formation put my cb forward and they had no chance of breakin me dwn, i recommend any1 hus got pes3 to use it, its on training beginers guide the defending mode!

the best way to defend, like me is to bring the fuckers down and hope for the best. the best way is to get as close as you can to the players and then slide :circle: then the foul is less likely to be a dirty one and may spare the victim thier kneecaps. for examples of fouls watch vieira.

 

[jag87]

The best way to defend is put pacey mo'f'ers in defense and when the striker is clear, charge out your keeper and run back with your defenders. Works a charm!

 

[bish1]

also a 5-4-1 formation with 2 dmfs sitting infront of your back four (i.e vieira + gerrard) will make any attacker think twice about making a run

 

[manolete]

use the radar to keep the shape of your team and try to eliminate as much spaces as you can

 

[Jonny2J]

im from the Kevin Keegan skool and just attack

 

[manolete]

well, then it would be a problem if you lose ball...I suppose everybody loves having always the ball but the key is know what to do when you cannot have it...

 

[tomo1811]

strong centre backs: good in the air, strong, pace is a bonus
pacey wing back: these allow you to cover the centre back if commited and good when u attack

when they attack down the wing say the left! use the left back to deal with it not ya centre back only use ya centre backs when there at the centre of the goal. if they get past ya wing back, u need ya centre back and ya defensive midfielder should cover! i also fine u get your wingers back crrowd attackers out forse them wide and be prepared to use ya goalkeeper. i recommend a goalie with good areial ability

i play on 3 stars and all i do when im off the ball is hold :L1: :x:
the defender stays on his player until he gets the ball or gives away a freekick (no yellow card)

 

[Lami]

i play 3-4-3, 3 strong and tall defenders, and another strong/tall defensive midfield. opponents offence then just suffer. coz whenever i fight for the ball my Dfs win it. their speed doesnt have to be 80's and 90's tho. 70's works fine with me.

I use different formations all the time, but usually a back 3 or 4.
With a back 3, Use a sweeper in the centre, put the individual defence status of each defender to high, and put back line strategy to C along with offside trap. This will make them sit back, just keep getting in the way of anyone near the goal. This frustrates the hell out of my mates, cos they may get a break, and the box is covered, and I just defend well. Very rarely concede against player or cpu with this method. Also it would be safe to including a defensive midfielder watching gaps and helping out.

With a back 4, Make sure you haven't got them pushing out too far, but make sure they also don't sit too deep. The offside trap is more effective with a back 4, and you can risk pushing up a little further, getting your full backs in on attacks. Just make sure you have a good defensive midfielder, always staying back to cover any gaps left by forward running players. Also put the indvidual defence to high on CBTs, and normal on SB's. Then High for DMF. With a back 4 it is best to zone press and counter attack.

Stop your keeper running out by putting his individual defence to high. Then he will only come out when you press triangle.

The ultimate in defending is the cooperative mode, as long as you have an equal team mate. Me and one friend in particular have got a natural rythm going in co-op. We don't speak and know what's going on all the time, we have never been beaten when we've been on the same side and we've played a lot of wannabes. Saying that we've been gaming together for 15 years, so you'd kind of expect it.

Best defending system.....
4-3-1-2 is the best so far!
Line defense A,playing offside B, Counterattack A and Pressure B/A whatever you like.
3 Defensive Midfields one Ofensive and 2 Strikers!
Such a Buffon;Cocco,Nesta,Cannavaro,Maldini;Baronio,Tommasi,Tachinardi;Totti;Vieri,Di Vaio....this team rox 0 goals many scored goals.

For me this is the best defensive system/team so far although i dont play such defensive.:=)

Get in front of the player on the ball with R1, and/or manually controlling your defender with R1+R2, Call up support if you need cover before you make the tackle.

If the player is bearing down on your last defender, drop off the player on the ball using R2 in retreat, and call up cover.

Before you get back into your own area, just chip in with an X tackle, only use a sliding tackle if coming in from the side.

There is all sorts of pushing and pulling that seems to work with R2 when players are sprinting side by side. I'd like to know more about how to rough up attackers more, if anyone knows?

Or on the attacking side, my brother is always pushing and shoving my forwards from behind when they get away on a break, until they stumble and he regains possession - is there any way to stand up to or get away from this rough stuff?

And can anyone say for sure what the fastest speint possible is when NOT in possession - R1 with double-tap? Is a manual run (R1+R2) as fast?

 

[UD Capo]

Only R1 is the fast Sprint in not possesion of the ball.

 

[Cellini]

Thanks, so I guess :R1: plus double-tap must be fastest when not in possession.

i am usually very gud at defendin..i try and keep hold of possession 4 as long as possible and pass it about in the defence and midfield, especially when im defending a lead..i try not 2 dive in but as sum1 mentioned earlier wen u just need 2 take the attacker out press :circle: but make sure (if possible) its quite far away from goal, the chances of a red card r far less then. i play as arsenal most of the time and jens lehmann generally reads the game well and so claims a lot of crosses and rushes out very effectively. with sol campbell and kolo toure it is particularly strong, as they have such magnificent pace and are both very strong and gud in the air. i partner vieira with gilberto silva in the middle and have gilberto as the holdin player and let vieira get forward a bit more ( gilberto only makes runs sparingly) my strikers,reyes and henry, tend 2 not backtrack very much, however reyes does far more than henry! so i like 2 get my wingers bk defendin 2 protect the forward thinkin lauren and a.cole..pires i use in a very attackin role so i have 2 bring sol campbell ova 2 the left of the game and often press :R1: & [] 2 cover ashley cole. freddie ljungberg defends rly well and covers lauren brilliantly, so havin a winger who cums bk 2 defend can b rly helpful a strong partnership in midfield can b rly beneficial..gilberto silva and vieira at arsenal works amazingly well!
the main thin tho is just 2 stay calm, even wen under a lot of pressure, dont play the defence 2 deep ( like england ) and slide tackle around the penalty area and inside it only wen very necessary!

 

[manolete]

using the manual cursor is the key, so you let the CPU press with one or two players while you cover the space with the one you have controll of.

 

[Mastermind]

 

[Flipper the Priest]

Hold :square: then use the player you are controlling the mark the runner most likely to receive the ball.

Works 95% of the time.

 

[young]
