I agree with Shaun saying that it may be because we just chase the ball like a mad man. since this has always worked in previous pes versions, we intend to keep playing like this holding the R1+x all the time. Did it for 5-6 games in the beginning of my ML to find out it's not the way - at least not for most of the games i play on top player.
To get back to what Shaun said: try to predict the play, sometimes i just use R2 button to screen the man in ball possesion. Then i change cursor and run towards the player i think they're gonna give the ball. (of course playing against the weaker teams, one may not have to be this tactical)
- As for the first post in the thread. I definetely agree that liverpool gets some strange goals sometimes.
But to me all the big teams are lucky in pes. They don't pass the ball around to make wonderful goals - i find that they score most of their goals from responses or mistakes by defenders, and the fact that i sometimes can't switch cursor to the defender nearest to the man in ball possesion..
