Bah, had a very bad match against Liverpool on ML yesterday (I am using Man Utd). Players aren't behaving, passes going everywhere, strikers getting jittery when they are near the goal, defense going crazy and letting in all those through passes... Still, I think I did quite well and managed a...

Yes, I meant the left analogue stick. Sorry for the confusion (in fact, I use the d-pad when I take free kicks because it's more accurate). To be honest, is it really necessary to add swerve controls in open play? It's not like you have all that much time to think about how you swerve a ball...

PES 2011: Have you tried pressing L1 or R1 and direction on the analogue stick when taking free kicks? That usually does a curl/swerve in the intended direction fine (of course, you'll also need to have a a player with good swerve stats). IRL football: I do agree that if you hit the ball with...

I mainly agree with what Halfrax2 is saying. Seems like most of the issues you have is down to the AI difficulty level and your team tactics. Try to move the sliders about and increase difficulty level and see what you get. I am surprised you didn't find cursor change to be an issue though, cos...

In essense, you'd like an BAL Manager Mode? That doesn't sound bad, actually.

They should announce it some time before the January window, as before.

Yeah, it does feel exploitative at times, especially at domestic cups. I have been held to a draw before in Copa del Rey by a weak away Getafe against my home Real Madrid before, so I know what you mean. I shudder to think what would've happened if I were playing the FA cup (no 2 legged matches).

Are you sure the AI always have their players on their top form? I am asking this because I remember playing a match I played as Real Madrid against Barcelona in ML (RMA is home), and I was wondering why the AI decided to put Milito in the CB position instead of Puyol. I went to check their...

IMO, the Home/away advantage was pretty well done in terms of condition arrows. You probably won't expect your players to be in their best condition anyway if they have to travel 500km to another stadium in a coach to play a match, right? However, I do find that players who often score goals...

1. Players do retire in their first season in previous versions of PES, although I have yet to see one in PES 2011. Safe guess is that they do though. 2. Varies around 38-40 yrs old. You definitely won't see many players beyond 40. Hope that helps.

I've recently restarted my ML campaign for the third time. I chose Man Utd as my ML team. As you all know, Man Utd has a huge squad. I don't need that many players, and I'm planning to sell the surplus (going to sell around 9-10 players, leaving my squad with only 22 players). So when the ML...

Enjoying PES 2011 despite its flaws, so nope.

hmm... you don't seem to have a CF. Is that what you want?

Although I would say that this is also normal in football games (just look at Man U!), I won't for PES 2011, simply because it's happening too often and on teams that aren't even good to begin with. The only way I have to defend against these last minute goals is to flood the midfield with...

Agreed.

hmm... I didn't find shooting to be particularly bad, although I've had cases where (in ML) I am under pressure to find a goal in situations where I am either 1 goal down or draw, and my shots just goes all over the place whenever I get into the box. While this is frustrating (and I yell at my...

That's a generous budget indeed. Do you think sponsorship budget has anything to do with the size of my squad? I am running a very lean team with just 19 players. Maybe that's why I haven't been able to get a very high sponsorship budget level.

Can you list out your Sponsorships for the year? I am interested in knowing how much each of them are paying you individually. In my case, I had won the treble before entering the Summer transfer period (where 3 of my 6 sponsors are due to expire), and I have been reloading the game gazillions...

Yeah, was going to reduce budget level on Youth Teams and Goalkeeping, like you said. Although it's not a large difference. I guess every little reduction helps. Well, I thought 'maximum funding' is used when you want to buy your way to victory, which isn't quite the same as 'sustaining an...

Hmm... A nice way for rejecting an offer without hurting the player's affection for the team is to renegotiate for a higher transfer fee (2-3 times what the club is asking for), which will make them drop the offer instead of you, thereby not affect the affection bar. Hope that helps. Then...
