Right on. It's not through balls that are the problem, it's that a player can hoof it up with no skill and still be successful. I use through balls, but they come after passing the ball for a long period of time waiting for the right moment/opening, not kicking it up the field as soon as...

Agreed, but wouldn't switch to Fifa yet. Was far from impressed with the demo. One thing I will add though is that PES 2013 does actually seem a bit contradictory, because in some ways it is much more of a game requiring build up and possession, but at the same time it is also easy to...

To me that's just lame. Sorry, but I have to be honest. I say either play the game or don't. Also, it's environmentally irresponsible (on Konami's part) to have so many consoles playing against each other all over the world with nobody actually playing the game. But yeah, it also...

Play much coach mode?

^ I like Umut Bulut for that sort of stiker. Strong, well rounded and fast as a Bullet! Okay, not that fast, but all around pretty good for the price.

I think too much emphasis is given to the "overall" stat. Is there any proof that by taking an AMF who is, say, 68 overall and playing him as a LMF or RMF where he has an overall rating of, say, 75, that it makes him a better player? Personally I have not seen this and I think a lot of people...

You obviously haven't played the game much. :laugh: Rounding the keeper was absolutely ruining the game online because it was so easy. It seemed like half the goals scored were always one on one rounding of the keeper. Not realistic at all and far far too easy to pull off. Konami have...

I don't look at it that way. Konami obviously put them in because now you don't have to have 50 million to have a player who can dribble similar to Ronaldo and Messi. Is it worse that now almost anyone can have that in their team or does it even the playing field? Plus, nullifying these...

Sure, but it's important to understand. Throwing away money isn't my style. For example, I was about to buy a new keeper, and sell my current one, but his price is down by 2 million because he's purple, so I'll wait now. I would love if someone could somehow confirm though if the...

Personally, I don't agree with that. There's a lot of individuality, and I see it in the teams I play against and also have a lot of fun with the teams I create. I find it interesting to see how other teams are put together, and especially this year they have made it so there is more equality...

Nice to see some positivity. I guess it's my fault for hanging around this "negativity" thread, when I generally look at the glass as half full. Still I do have negative things to say. I agree about some of the issues with passes being on rails, and cursor problems. I just have never...

This seems all very contradictory to me, and vague. You are saying you are very successful, but it's only by chance? You yourself said you have no control over what happens, it's all "up to konami" whether you win or lose. Come on. So let me rephase what I said since you left out signifciant...

Ah... The old blame the AI for cheating story. I for one think the real problem is that you still haven't got a grip on the game. If you were winning the vast majority of your games like I am, without cheating I should add, then I think you'd be singing a different tune. Give it time, have...

If you can get your hands on a piggyback interactive guide it may help you too. Also, in training try all the moves listed in the moves list (if they still have it). That's the best way to learn how to pull offtricks. Tricks though aren't necessarily the most effecitve way to dribble, but...

Shaun, what difficulty level are you playing on, and what side do you use? Just curious. Haven't played against the AI much yet myself. As for the agility debate, when I played in real life I was very agile. They used to call me crazy legs because I could fling a leg out and pull off a...

When you get the ball, run. Pick a direction where there are no defenders standing. Preferably this will head you toward the opponent's goal, but if not, try to get headed that way eventually. Keep running. Now, when you approach a defender, try to not run straight into him, but (and here's...

Exactly. And you will get better at it too. But eventually there are ways to defend better once you get used to it. Hopefully it will be toned down so we can all enjoy more realistic games.

Just to be fair, you're advice is well taken, but still, I think the balance is a tiny bit off, especially when it comes to how easy it is to round the keeper. I think your idea of not diving in is spot on, to make the best of the situation, but it's still ridiculous to see five players...

DIECI - Still, I have strong defenders and DMF, above 80 even 85 body balance, 80-85 speed, 80 plus defense, 80 plus responsiveness, and five players all swarming C Ronaldo can't stop him from dribbling from past half though the team and scoring. They are all over him but he's like superman. I...

MLO - I think the balance is out of whack because of the fact that players who are speed merchants are too unstoppable. It ruins the game when all the goals are dribbling goals through the entire team and a rounding of the keeper. Needs to be addressed in a patch big time IMO.
