One thing that's always bugged me about PES3 is that I feel the marking isn't very tight, it's just too easy to find space and to get from one end of the pitch to the other. So, I tried a simple edit a la PES2, and the game has improved drastically IMO.
try this: put a marking star to all players (including forwards!) on a couple of teams (may I suggest Man U and Arsenal?), play a few games, and experienced PES3ers will notice the difference. The game becomes much tighter all round, your players are closed down much more quickly, it's harder to run into space and a passing game becomes more important. Almost gone are the daft CPU scripted runs down the wing, because your SBs are positioned better. In fact, generally players are positioned better so there's not so much of that 'what the f.. is my player doing there?' saga. Scoring is now much harder, back are the 10min 1-0 games (i play 4 or 5*) - I guess it makes defending a bit easier too but only for the right reasons - i.e your defenders are behaving much more sensibly. All in all, it feels a bit more like WE7.
I've been playing with this edit for a while now and I've modified it slightly so wingers and forwards no longer have marking stars, this frees up the wings a bit and forces you to use the flanks more rather than driving through midfield. Just a personal preference. I've gone back to the unedited PES3 and it really grates on me now, I just can't play it. I hate editing as much as the next man but for me this was worth it.
Has anyone else tried this? I know some people did for PES2 but I think most of us are edit-weary after that.
