Oh man, I just patched the 1.06 version to my game and damn, was I glad to see that my defenders/midfielders actually make an effort to win the ball! I mean, yeah, it might just be a placebo effect, but it really feels as if your own team is working harder in defence, which has been the biggest...

Well, right there you have a problem - unless you're really good at it, which I'm sure some are, scoring from headers is hard and doesn't occur as often as from the ground. Myself, I play a quick move-up-field game through the middle, feeding through balls to my lightning-quick strikers, who...

Incorrect. You need to be in a good position, not be contested and prefferably have a good striker leading the charge. With Torres, I score on 8/10 shots, as long as I'm a relatively good position. You might also need to find your playstyle. Mine is a quick, offensive game, using pacey...

Dirk Kuyt. The guy is so dependable on my Liverpool ML side. He stepped up when Torres and Trezeguet weren't scoring and scored 10 goals in the middle of the season. I might be a little colored, but Dirk Kuyt is sheer, underappreciated class for me.

I rekindled my love for the game mode and dusted off an old formula for a french striker and started out at Lorient. Halfway through the first season, we're contending by staying in third, behind Lyon and Marseille. I finally started with decent stats and an overall rating over 65 (73 this...

-1 I'm sure you're experiencing the game this way, but I just don't. Not even after two full seasons with the same team. I don't know, the AI feels lacking at best in defence most of the time. However, I could just be unlucky.

My problem with BAL wasn't that they didn't pass me - they did, and they did it well too. The problem is that the AI seems so... poor. Especially in defending (holding down the Teammate pressure button really doesn't do anything of value).

I find the game most enjoyable at 2+ speed, because lower than that is just sluggish and makes it feel so slow. Realistic? I wouldn't say that PES aims for it anyway.

Start of the second season, Palmieri is soon taking over Kyrgiakos spot on the team in my Liverpool side. Overall 84, he started out with an 81. Loving him! I also bought Lukaku but he's yet to shine (and I've yet to learn to use him properly). He's first backup behind my offensive line...

That's the thing with proper through balls though, isn't it? You see it in real life all the time, good through balls are hard to chase down. However, this game does feel a little too focused on through ball offence.

Perhaps it is simply you who are to ignorant to believe anything else than the fact that you lost a game because of poor defending. I wrecked most games in the PL last season with my Liverpool side, only lost about 4 games in total. I did however, lose to Chelsea 0-1 once and I did feel like...

I gave BAL a final chance by enabling the Play as Professional perk and gave our own national superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic a shot, which was quite fun. Though it didn't last for more than half a season. Instead, I found myself playing - and liking - the Master League. I have detested from that...

Barcelona is absolute crap (Yes, I've played for them). Bayern Munchen is quality.

I gotta say, it feels like the BAL curse is still staying strong in 2011 - The better the team you're in, the worse they are. I'm playing as Thomas Muller (BAL Perk - Original Player) and I played my first half season at his Bayern Munich side. They were good, really good. They could play ball...

I find it slow and sluggish. I play on +1

The AI is still an issue. But it's much, much better than last year. I've played a full season with a created player and half a season with an original player (GP Extra Content thing) and I'm actually quite happy right now. You can actually tell when you're in a better team this year, unlike...

Yes, it would work. It's one way to start at your favorite club. You make a player that is at the same level of skill as any new BAL player (around 60-70 overall skill, atleast one specialty area) and put him in your favorite team from the start, and then start the game as him. You...

My manager is generally happy, unless I do nothing of note, at which point he will comment me having done, well, nothing of note. I've never gotten criticized after a good game (as far as I am concerned - you have to be able to admit that you're playing poorly aswell :P)

Current age and stats. Also, you do start at the club the player is at the moment, with the appropriate contract and pay.

I agree with the last three but "Play as an existing player" is funtastic. I'm currently using Thomas Muller in Bayern Munich and BAL is actually a lot more fun, for some reason. I always liked the mode, but I never really got that "hooked" feeling this year (like you could do the last two...
