Crappy Brazil

MarkyP · 16-07-2003, 13:13

Does anyone find that Brazil are a good side on PES2?

I thought I'd give my master league hands a break and take up winning all the cups (UMBRO) etc so that I could have the classic teams. I tried it with Brazil and ended up getting knocked out of every cup. The furthest I got was the final against Netherlands. I lost 1-0! :mad:

I think maybe I am going through a bad patch or I am relying too much on my master league squad and its 3-5-2 adapted setup????

Just wondered if anyone prefered playing with Brazil?

i love using brazil, with the pace of ronaldo and bobby c (along with his free kicks) But i improved the stats of their defenders, and Ronaldinho, because they were all pretty poor

i find brazil great going forward but awful in defence. if you are playing the cups on ***** then it is likely that the opposition will score goals against you and that could be why you're finding it hard.

I definately think it is the defence. Slovakia beat me!!! haha

lovenkrands: I used Juninho as a replacement for Ronni. He seemed to do much better. I don't think Ronaldo is particularly good though. Adelson is like s**t of a stick. Finishing is not strong though.

Stats wise, Argentina are a better team but I prefer playing as Brrrrrrrrrrazil!

With the right players on good form it can go well.
But I make sure to always replace that low-quality DMF, can't remember his name now, for Juninho.

Putting Junior in defence can help too.

I think the DMF is Vampeta? I always use Brazil with their default formation but push one of the OMF a bit wider and further forward. I have played on 5* and yes you let in goals... but the beauty of Brazil is they can always score one more!!! GGGGGoooooaaaaaaaallllllll!!!! !

Gol gol gol gol goooooooooooooooool!
Brrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazzzi iiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllll lll!!!!!

i prefer to replace gilberto silva with vampeta when playing with brazil. he seems to be a better DMF

denilson is more attack minded but also plays good in the DMF position. Brazil are more hyped on the game as they won the world cup but i find england and argentina more competitive and complete. I did win Brazil 3-2 on 5* with brazil squandering a 2-0 lead with england. and if brazil were any good on the game, would they really do that? i agree that brazil are pants.

when i mean would they really do that, i mean would they squander a 2-0 lead with the likes of Larcos, Facu and Luciano as rear garders?
