Just wondered what other peoples experiences with free kicks are? Have you found anything to be particularly effective? I reckon I have played approx 150 games, but have only managed to score 1 so far (although I don't tend to get too many in good scoring positions). The CPU has also scored 1...

Love the innovative formation, I do remember seeing it now in an earlier post. Looks great for pressing, but I would be slightly worried about how effective it is cutting off the passing lanes in your own half of the pitch- how does it work for that? Also do you play a fluid formation? I have...

Agree with this. If I can't find an easy pass, I like to hold the ball up, perhaps taking it away from goal or sideways before turning the defender. Often opens some space, sometimes giving you a direct run towards goal. The CPU doesn't seem to react well to the old cruyff turn in PES- a bit...

I basically use the defending techniques that you set out in your previous posts. Let the CPU maintain the shape with the defenders / holding midfielder, whilst I control the 2 centre mids / wingers to nick the ball. Seems to be working well. I use frontline pressure / conservative pressing /...

What team are you using? I am doing OK on superstar. Some frustrating moments, but overall fine, finished 3rd in La Liga in my first season and currently 2nd mid way through my second season. Most of my starters have OVR ratings in the from 77-86. My wingers (Greizmann and Munian) have bags...

I use frontline pressure, but set it to many players coming back to defend (making sure I pressure the ball with midfielders or attacking players). Seems to work well, but realistically do not expect to win the ball back high up the pitch. I look to contain the opposition in their own half, and...

I play on superstar and its perfect for me, definitely winnable with the right tactics. I strongly recommend the tactical advice given by witness & rebelinho. Defending is key- hold the formation, be patient, and control the midfielders or wingers rather than the defenders. Practice manually...

^^ Thats definately whats supposed to happen. Only in 2013 the teamwork ratings dont seem to go back up again, at least in my master league...

This is good advice. I play on top player and its great. I also ended up enjoying master league on top player on the last game (2012), despite initial difficulties. I am no master but I will share my tips. To get organised defensively, I strongly recommend a 4-3-3 or 4-5-1, with one deep...

I would fully agree with this. When I start a new masterleague, even with a good team, the difference in AI cheating (unstoppable dribbling, outrageous keeper errors and weird player passing) is obviously much greater than my long standing masterleague (6 seasons). I think that the overall...

I currently play my ML in top player mode. I have had success, winning the league and ECL in my second season, however the amount of 'scripting' is really driving me crazy. Now we have had the game for quite a while, does anyone have any views on whether Superstar is less scripted? I had...

The pointless crap is bad, but its the 'scripting' thats really taking the fun out of ML. Its just really badly implemented, some of the goals conceded are beyond frustrating and just not fun. If I have a great team and play well, I want to win, I dont want some ridiculous evening up of the game...

Thanks for the advice guys. I decided to take the above advice and it seems to have worked, he now doesn't seem bothered. Wish I had done that with Krasic- taking the 10 shirt off Del Piero was embarrassing!!! :mellow:

I have been experimenting with 442 and it does seem far more effective than in previous PES versions. They midfield AI seems much better, and one midfielder will often hold back whilst the other attacks. However I still prefer the 451 or 433 with a proper holding midfielder, sat infront of the...

Teamwork goes down drastically when a player joins a new club, then goes up quickly as he settles in. I have never really noticed much of a difference with the captain though. Is the general feeling that it makes more of a difference in this PES?

The whole no.10 thing is embarrasing and annoying! Sort it out Konami!I have just managed to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, after 3 seasons of trying, for my ML offline Juventus team. Only problem is, just 2 games in he is kicking up a fuss because apparently he wants the no. 10 shirt. It seems the no...

Yep. Its probably worth taking a note of what you earn in the offseason (fan income etc) and over the course of the season (matchday revenues) so you can estimate and prepare your transfer / wage budget properly. But no its not good.

I use the classic pro evo 4-3-3, with a DM, 2 CMs, 2 WFs and 1 CF. However on this PES the WFs seem to have a completely free role, whereas in previous versions they would stick to the wing a bit more and therefore be available to defend the wings if you selected them. In this version they...

Can anyone please advise on how long players stay in the youth team? Also interested to know how they develop in the youth team? I have recently promoted a couple of 16 year olds, but on reflection they are not going to get in my team- might I have been better leaving them in the youth team?

Cheers. Yes agreed on the international games, they should play Tuesday and Fridays, several days apart from domestic games, as the current international fixtures are played. No problem with players coming back tired or injured from internationals, but currently the way it works out is a bit...
