An advice from a person who once was a PES addict

Fully Manual · 27-11-2011, 06:29

PES has a special place in my heart, I grew up playing it. Right now I only play FIFA however I believe people are playing the game in the wrong way. In general, FIFA sucks for any true football fan, however I have certain settings I play with and I'd like everyone who can to try them. Trust me guys, I'm one of you and I think I know what is it you want. To note; if you are looking for the excitement that PES offers of scoring 9 goals in a match (two teams combined) then you can ignore my thread

Playing FIFA 12:

1. Set your control settings on "Manual Settings". The game is absolutely beautiful if played on manual control against a civilized human being.

For offline mode:

2. Play with the sliders.

Player Sliders: Set "Forward Runs" to 65.

CPU Sliders: Set everything either 45 or 55 (Making the CPU weaker).

3. Play the CPU at "World Class" difficulty in normal matches, and at "Legendary" on cups and at the Champions.

-----------------

The idea behind manual control is that you are controlling everything, whatever is on your mind you can apply. I personally haven't played FIFA 12 on normal mode from the first day I bought it, cause assisted control just sucks. Give it a try, you won't lose anything. Good luck guys

I tried it on manual and it was just too sloppy as the power of the passes can make them go astray so I put it on semi or assisted

Shooting on manual eventhough it can remove player individuality so sometimes I put it on semi

I put crossing on assisted because PES 2012 the crossing IS assisted and can't be changed so I wouldn't be used to it.

I put through balls on manual and lobbed through balls and I put on legacy defending as that feels like PES more with it's Zonal marking

P.S. Shooting feels totally awesome on manual!

I think ur already a pesgaming member using a different alias, also ur point is rather pointless tbh, u claim u love pes and state that fifa is crap but then suggest people switch to fifa???? Mainly if pes is to exciting for them lol u must b the worse salesman ever haha

@markcross: Well I'm not suggesting for people to switch, I'm rather suggesting for them to try these options on FIFA. I used to play PES, but after going to college and traveling to the US, offline mode is not an option. I tried FIFA 10 mainly for the online mode. I mainly think that FIFA in general plays worst than PES, however, to me personally nothing beats playing FIFA on manual control. Very few people enjoy manual control to be honest with you. My mentality has changed in the last few years specially after watching Pep's Barca in real life. I used to play PES to kick my friends asses, but now I play FIFA for relaxing. Maybe that's why I like the manual control.

@abu97: Manual control has become much easier on FIFA 12 than it was on the previous ones. It's not perfect, but once you get used to it you'll rarely have problems with overpowered passes (specially offline). Also in 12 the difference is quite noticeable when playing with a good passer and a decent one.

This version is better

Why are you talking about Fifa on a pes board? Most ppl here don't even have FIFA to even try what you're saying and frankly most won't care . FIFA forum ----------->this way

Full manual play was fantastic on fifa 2008 and 2009, from this point although a solid football title fifa started to get stale and as a predominantly offline player I turned back to PES. I have a lot of respect for Gary Paterson(fifa creative producer) as he introduced manual passing onto the Left analog with fifa 2007 thus creating more freedom for the player, and it worked well.

The problem is even with a good passing system, if the rest of the game doesn't appeal to me it won't be enough to hold my interest. I get bored playing legendary AI on fifa even with manual play, although against another human it can be good.

From my perspective, no fifa game has come close to the organic nature of fifa 2008, the manual passing and build up play in that game has only since been matched by pes 2011 and 2012.

Thankfully in 2010 konami copied a strong aspect from EA's gameplay, implementing manual passing onto the LS rather than the RS manual pass that had been used on last gen pes games. I feel the passing system is a strong point in both games.

I'd give FIFA 2012 a try, but right now I'm too busy playing and worshiping the best soccer sim I've played in my entire life (PES 2012).

Maybe later.
