The defending is better. Remember that the computer doesn't do anything you can't do. If the ball is falling to their players in midfield confrontations, you may want to alter your formation. If you are losing aerial battles, you need to set it up so that good aerial players (Gerrard, Stam...

Totally agree about Xavi. I have he and Gerrard on my team and Gerrard is an absolute monster back there, winning aerials and muscling around, and then clearing easily and accurately. Xavi's passing is great but he is too small to make a presence; he's easy for people to muscle off the ball and...

There aren't any cheap goals. If you're leaving a striker unmarked in the box then uhh... it's not exactly 'cheap' to pass to him and shoot is it? Ever thought of I dunno, marking him? Predictable passes are pretty easy to cut out in the game so I don't understand how people always bitch about...

Has anybody experimented with using alternate formations in mid game not just to switch overall tactics, but to actually actively create space and change runs, etc? For example, place 3 CF's tight inside the boxe with a fairly defensive midfield consisting of a DMF or two and CMFs. Then when...

Fifa?

Practice makes perfect Murc :D

Hey pescrazy, about the American OF, do you (or does anyone) know if there is some order to the displacement of faces going from the euro version to the American one? The faces themselves are correct, they are just on the wrong players :D If I could figure out some rule for how they are...

Hey Pescrazy, I loaded your OF on to my memory card for the American version, and while the kits and logos look perfect, the faces are messed up and stats seem unchanged. Is this to be expected or did I do something wrong?

I think he probably converted everything, though I don't think he said. I haven't tried it yet myself.

He did it himself already :D Check his post in the option file forum about it; he editted it and the US version is now included at the bottom of the opening post.

Question: can maxdrive files (.max) be converted to the memory card and used using codebreaker instead of max drive software? Or, alternatively, is there a way using the codebreaker software to convert the cue/bin into a memory card option file? *Nevermind, I think I've found this answered...

Something else I'm noticing is serious corrections to the defensive AI: rather than defenders simply sticking to their mark like glue they spread out and block passing options when appropriate. This changes the way I handle formations because the AI is far far less prone to simply being dragged...

8 was the worst of the series IMO. Cynical gameplay, formations didn't matter, longballs irrelevant, physical bodies of the players hardly affected anything. All that mattered was stealing the ball, perfect pinpoint passes and dribbling back and forth. Made multi very lame against good opponents.

I've been playing the new version (American) for about a week, and I'm pretty impressed. The scripting is actually lessened, there is pretty much free movement for aerial balls (took some getting used to) and the AI is much much improved, as are the through balls and lofted through balls...

I found the answer to the PES > WE conversion (for US/Canadian gamers) here: http://forums.pesfan.com/showthread.php?t=155737 Haven't tried it yet, though.

Bump :D

I also have Winning Eleven (American version). Is there anything simple that we can do to convert the OF or are we out of luck?

My PS2 sometimes refuses to read mine; I have to wiggle it, or hold it in while it reads. Reminds me of NES days...

Recoba has great looking stats but he does have an extremely low consistency score, which makes a big difference... Still he's probably a little overrated.

Rabona... Very low weak foot frequency, and from there, it's just about positioning. Get into a spot where it's sort of awkward for him to use his bad foot and shoot (IE coming in at a bad angle for it). Even then it's a little random. I think you might also need high shot technique.
