You have to play him until his contract runs out so that you aren't throwing money away. As for making money, you would have to wait a long time for his value to go up. The more people buy him the more his value increases, but if he's not the right player for you, just cut your losses, but...

Interesting. What are your settings like in terms of sliders? Do you play long ball, possession, or quick counter...?

I see what you're saying, but I think some people are getting the issue confused (or making it more complicated than it really is). Let me put it this way, it's actually quite similar to the way in which the crossing was too effective in PES 2012. Far, far, far too many goals were carbon...

Has anyone tried using a sweeper to combat the through balls? Also, does attack/defence level have an effect? It seems to me that with it set to two bars, or one, the through ball is a little less effective, but of course it is harder for me to score that way as well.

Unfortunately I don't think there is one perfect way to stop this, but I too would love to hear some opinions from people who feel they are well lined up tactically to deal with it. I think it also has to do with how you control the players on the pitch, e.g. what buttons you hold, and when on...

Any players in particular you're looking at for that position? Just to give us an idea what type of player you're looking for... There are lots of suggestions for SMFs in the preceding pages btw, since so many people like to buy players for that position whose primary position is another role...

Yeah, Nolan's not bad, and switching him isn't going to drastically change your side/performance. I've been trying the 3 CBs and so far it does seem pretty good. Back to players... So what position are you looking to fill next? You said you would like a SMF with balance and some speed...

A couple of notes: I meant Rieks for CM, not Reis. I think you will find that speed is important in that role, and Nolan, although being a great player on paper, just struggles at times to keep up with the game, especially against tough opposition. Also, Nivaldo, one of my recommendations for...

Not a bad team... Maybe it's not the players so much as the tactics? Just a thought. Anyway, two players I like for making an impact off the bench, as I've said before, are Salpingidis and Gedo. Both very cheap. Michu is good, but I just sold Nolan for Reis because I found Nolan a bit...

I don't think there are any articles that would help. Also, keep in mind that it depends what you want. There's no such thing as a perfect AMF, a perfect wing player, etc. For example, you may decide you want more pace in defence, so that would be a priority for you when buying a new CB, or...

Great! Problem is that if it just comes down to a vote then those who want to exploit it will vote for it to stay. It's not just about whether the majority want it in or not, it's about the fact that it makes no sense that it's in the game!!! Still, this issue needs to be brought to Konami's...

Well, for starters it depends on what position you are looking to fill, and also on how YOU play the game. Do you run and gun, long balls, or slow build up? For defenders it is pretty universal though. I can help you for sure if you have a specific position you want to buy a player for and...

I don't mean to be rude, but, well, his stats look pretty terrible to me... 63 stamina, 3 form, 71 short pass accuracy, 65 long pass accuracy, 53 heading acc, 53 teamwork... Seriously, try a player like Devic or Vendeler, or even El Hany (less body balance but better skills than this guy...

Where is the poll? This is Dave O btw ;)

Spot on. I noticed this in the demo even. It's as if the defending is just buggered for that very reason. Maybe that's all Konami need to change to resolve it? Anyway, the way I counter the long through ball is to press up more. Sort of the opposite of having a defensive line set to...

Thanks Burak looks good. If you want another like him, check out Umut Bulut, as I mentioned above. They seem very similar. Pukki looks decent too, but I use AMFs and he doesn't play that position so he wouldn't be much use to me. Also, by the way, one of my favourites mentioned above...

Fair enough. Sorry for the rant, but it just seems like it should be taken out to me. I mean, in any other game something like this would just seem weird. Mixing PVP with PVE is just not done in an online mode. Konami's fault for doing it, not those taking advantage of it. Anyway, sorry...

I have learned to defend it as well, and rarely get scored on that way, but are you serious when you say you've never seen someone try this? Over half the games I play are against people who simply continue to try long through balls over and over and over again...

I hear ya. I hate it too. It just shows what the underlying problems are with the game that you can use a player with 72 shot accuracy as a CF more effectively than a player with 93 shot acc, plus so many other useful cards for a stiker. My story is that I was using Huntelaar but had to...

Yeah, I was going to say that too. In general shot accuracy and pass accuracy are both way too high this year. At first I just thought it was shooting, but this discussion made me realize it's really the same problem for both. As a result using strikers with low shot accuracy can be really...
