I find that my centre backs love a slide tackle in the penalty box. Normally when the player in posession is on the goal line (other side of the posts) and simply standing up and pressuring would do.
However, it tries to balance itself out....
I've have a run of 3 or 4 games every season where one of the oppo's players gets red carded for basically being near the ball. I'm all for charity but i'd prefer a fair game.
yeah, really. it's when that happens that pisses me off the most. this happened to me so many times in manager mode. one time, i was only playing a bs round but i need that player for the next round and i was already 3-0 up in the 87th minute, no need to slide tackle in the box.
i also notice that sometimes, strikers "shoot" the ball by themselves too. when i pass the keeper, i prefer to walk the ball into the net, but sometimes the player just shoots when the game thinks its a good moment. and frustratingly, one time my player passed the keeper, shot, and MISSED. good job konami...
i hope in pes10, konami gets rid of this "feature." i dont need the AI deciding when to tackle, shoot, or clear the ball for me for me
