I have just recently received PES2010 PC (using a controller), and my last football game was PES2008 for the PS2. Many, many things on here are very annoying and far below the quality of 2008, but this is the worst of them all: I cannot find the option to switch to players closest to the ball manually. I absolutely abhor it when it switches automatically for me, and for the life of me it is having me dumb down (no offense anyone, really) to regular level as I cannot get used to this for the life of me. Please, tell me there's a way to make it manual

Have you tried Controller Settings? The default setting is semi-auto I think. You can press L1 (on PS3) to change man.

Only just started my first MLO and with, essentially, the ML default team, I managed to stink my way through to the final of the D5 Cup, beating far better teams through a combination of penalty shoot-outs and flukey own goals. I love this game

And ftr, I was beaten in the 3-0 in the final by a far better team. That's right, I'm not gonna throw my toys out of the pram and say the game's scripted/flawed etc, because that would be silly. I lost fair and square to a better team and a better player than myself.

I can admit when I've been beaten by the better player, but I know when I've been beaten by scripting and/or cheap tactics.

I wish my internet was good enough, because I'd actually play online more. Basically, if anyone else is on the internet in my house, it goes very laggy. Hopefully, by this time next year, BT Infinity will reach my area and I might actually be able to play MLO properly.

I beat a D3 team 5-0 and then promptly lost 5-0 to a D1 team! Against the D1 team I could not get my cursor controlled defender to run out wide to anticipate a pass, the player was locked into an animation where he could only run straight!

I'll switch to 3 centrebacks next time to compensate ...

Believe me one thing: Better internet will help nothing. It's KONAMI who's provided bad netcode. I have 16 Mbit, ping 10 ms to all dedicated servers whatever game I play and my girlfriend surfs youtube, picture and other bandwidth intensive sites and my ping gets max up to 100 ms there. Only PES is lagging for years. If the hope keeps you alive, ok, have it... but make sure you have another option to cling to and hope for when you realize the truth with your then new internet connection.

Bloody hell! Talk about doom and gloom

Well, my internet is pretty bad. It's not JUST PES that I rarely play online, it's most of my games. Due to 2 reasons:

1) Poor connection... obviously
2) Online gaming winds me up soooooooooooo much

Servers are ridiculously poor it must be said ... still, with the amount happening on the screen its a wonder it works at all sometimes.

Well, I used to play Resistance 2. You'd get up to 60 players in a game, and I never had a huge problem with lag in that game.

**Michu** · 14-04-2011, 23:31

I wonder how the servers will cope when Konami's new game engine is created for PES - whenever that may be.

Judging by what people have said about PES 2010 online, it seems there has been some improvement. I mean... it's not unplayable. When I've played (when I'm in the house on my own), I've never seen players jumping from one place to another etc. The main problem I've had is with the delay between pressing the button, and the action occuring.

**Michu** · 14-04-2011, 23:41

PES201 was terrible for lag. I played a game where there was a two second delay for every action. It was impossible to play the game like that.

Didn't realise the series started that long ago...

Bumping one's own thread is shameful but I thought I may as well post my ML activity since I changed my approach to playing after last nights shambles.

First 6 games, I lost 4, won 1, drew 1.

Tonight, I've played 8 games, won 7 and drew 1.

The answer? A diamond 4-4-2 formation with all the players within spitting distance. PES2009 had this as well, diamond formations being optimum formations for getting the better of the CPU teams I mean.

I modified the Poland default formation, for whatever reason - and I've checked the setup - my full backs plough forward with wild abandon! In fact my full backs have been consistently my best players.

Anyway, it appears the playing quick quick slow build ups and reverse through passes slices the CPU defences in two. It feels slightly shameful winning games with the majority of goals coming from cut backs but for whatever reason the CPU teams are susceptible to such a basic method of scoring (and yes I am playing Top Player, any other level would be a crime

)

Off topic and whiny, but, I want to express how annoying it is to play against someone in MLO who constantly sends their Flash Gordon Forwards up my defenders' asses before my keeper's sent out the damn ball. When this happens continually, I'm offended. It's just obnoxious. Back off–get to know my defenders first, for christ's sake.
