It all gets a bit complicated in ML, when there are 2 Davids/Seedorfs up for grabs. Haven't tried it but I assume it is possible to buy Davids AND his doppelganger so you have them both playing for your team...spooky...

Changing the level of attack/defense with R1,R2 + button, or via quick settings, makes a HUGE difference to your attacking options. Brush up your defence so you're more able to cope with being a little more exposed at the back, and go all-out attack. You can't fail to score with 8-9 of your...

Yeah, and annoying that the keeper refuses to throw if he's already at the edge of the area - no choice but to punt it upfield.

Great stuff Phelan, we all appreciate the time you've put into exploding the PES3 black box of stats.... I just wanted to mention that your link says you cannot see the CPUs form arrows in the game - while this is true for ML/league modes, in friendlies and cup games you can pause the game...

Here's Batigol's stats for anybody who wants 'em.....taken from PES3 beta version. Offence 95 Defence 38 Body Balance 89 Stamina 70 Top Speed 80 Acceleration 85 Response 96 Agility 84 Dribble Accuracy 78 Dribble Speed 79 Short Pass Accuracy 77 Short Pass Speed 75 Long Pass...

Thanks for your coherent reply Cellini - yeah, I see what you're saying and it makes sense. Using L2+button allows you to change strategy 'secretly' from human opponent, while using quick settings is in full view of your mate and pauses the game which is a pain. But I wouldn't waste assigning a...

thx for reply Zyg... I decided to go for the retail version after all and I agree it's a lot better - but a bit easier, I feel. Sorry for the confusion I created re. Batistuta - I'll post his stats up soon.

Thought so... nobody knows.....

I use manual... to be fair, player selection is pretty good, it's just that sometimes you can't select the player closest to the ball. It's not as big an issue in PES3 compared to previous versions though I think.

- more options (leagues/editing etc) - sort out handball issues - more frequent injuries - better player selection with L1 - speed slider - home advantage actually has an effect (adjustable via home/away crowd attendance maybe) - ability to change nationality of edited players - more...

Does anybody have a good understanding of what the strategies do? What I'm getting at is that you have strategy options such as 'centre attack' and 'counter attack' which you can use with L2 + (button), but you also have a 'quick strategy' centre & counter attack, which alters the attack/defence...

I've got Ballack in my ML team and he's great, scored more than either of my forwards, great goals from the edge of the area and always making forward runs.

I liked PES2 after I'd edited it extensively, but only vs a mate. CPU games were pretty crap and boring. PES3 is SOOOO much better. I won't repeat the comments I've read that I think most of us agree with (better defensive AI etc). I love some of the small touches, the way the ball bobbles...

I think if you put someone on the release list it invites offers from other clubs.

Cafu (Roma). Isn't Thuram a RB? He's damn good.

Or use 1-2's, or the R2 button after passing, to get players running into space....

Use R1 for chest control...R2 moves your player into position.

Given is excellent value for money in ML if you can't afford the likes of Buffon.

Yeah those demonic CPU bicycle kicks and volleys from outside the penalty area really suck the big one... it's funny, you can go many games without seeing one, then you'll get 2 or 3 in a game which you've dominated in all other respects, and often they're the only shots the CPU can muster all...

Quite often my keeper has saved a shot that was obviously going well wide of the post, only for him to palm the ball into the path of an opposition striker. result: needless goal. This is probably my no.1 gripe about the keepers. And I think the opposition keepers don't close down the angle all...
