One of my biggest gripes with Pes 13 is the passing, and more precisely the animations and speed of assisted passing. It just looks Arcady and unrealistic. Furthermore, I find it ironic that it's called assisted because too often a pass goes to the wrong recipient (I have already touched on this issue in other posts on this forum).
Well, I invested An hour last nights with full manual controls. To begin with it was really frustrating and disheartening. Balls were going astray, I was giving up possession everywhere on the pitch and i wasn't having fun at all. But I stuck with it and slowly came to grips with it. I even managed to continue playing on Professional difficulty, slowly balancing out the CPU.
My last game was a game between Arsenal (me) and Chelsea (CPU) as a build up to today's real fixture....
Chelsea went ahead and I thought here we go again. But I focused and really started playing like Arsenal - short passes in midfield, and taking the advantage of Walcott's speed on the wing.
I intensified the pressure and somehow i could really feel in control and what was even more noticeable was how i felt the CPU to start retreating, defending and generally being under pressure. I managed to equalise the game with a great strike just 20 minutes from time and then the magic moment came, when I stole the ball from Chelsea's defence, held it for a bit until I saw Oxley Chemberlain sprinting on the left wing, played a great through ball (using manual), beat one defender with a shot feint, then struck a hard cross (double tap) in the area where Walcott beat Peter Chech with a diving header in the far post. I jumped out of my seat with excitement, then saved the replay, which i had never done before. There were so many positive things in that goal, but the cherry on the cake was the fact that I had done ot with full manual controls.
There is something about manual that just feels (and looks) right and I am sticking with it.
