Team attitude

[tushar_t]

Is there anyway team attitude can be changed during the game?

For example when I win back possession in my half and run towards the opponent's goal, I find that the rest of my team players just stroll along towards my direction. Obviously, I would prefer them to actually run to prevent me being isolated in front and having to pass backwards to keep possession.

I was wondering if there is some counterattacking or just plain attacking mental attitude that can be set which would make players make forward runs all the time. Or is there any other way to solve this problem?

the AI in this game is far from perfect, but there is a counter attacking strategy.
I haven't really tested it yet, cuz I went straight for BaL and training and havent even tried an exhibition match yet.

counter attack instucts your forward players to stay forward to that wont help
have you tried to change your attack/defence level?
or change your back line to A or B

I haven't changed the backline from whatever it was on default by my attack/defence level is always on attack minded. Is that bad?

:huh:

I thought counter attack was to sit back and defend with pretty much the whole team and then counter their attack with you breaking out quickly.

What mode are you talking about tushar_t?

no its not bad but you would be better trying to learn to do it yourself
because the AI could be conflicting with what your trying to do do
it moves your formation forward if you increase it and backward if you lower it
the backline would then be the default for each team you are using try and use A against most teams and B against teams with speedy forwards

no mate it instucts your forward players to stay forward if you want the rest of your players to sit back you need to set your team up to do so

The AI is much better than pes 08 though.
The counter attack works well in Pes 09.

Oh yeah, the forwards stay forwards, no one to pass to otherwise, lol, but the rest of the team defend like a wall is what I meant, anyway, we're not helping him.

Before a match in the set tactics I use 'team stategy' to set a solid back line who rarely try the offside trap and then in 'simple settings' tick the attack and counter attack options, finally I edit the 4-4-2 formation to appear as 4-1-3-2 on screen with one forward as a support striker. It works for me.

For you perhaps adjusting the players positions in the formation set-up to be really high up the pitch and then set the overall team mind-set to defensive. They'll track back to defend and then when you get possession they will all run forward to reach where you specified they should be with the formation settings.

 

[tushar_t]

cheers guys, i'll try all the suggestions

 

[eddy1892]

one other thing to try is use a stratgy plan A and switch your formation to a more attack minded one

 

[davieboy20]

when u have the ball press and hold L2 then press R1(or the xbox equivalent) a few times.
this should make them more attack-minded but if u lose the ball you'll have to do it again.

 

[imnotstupid]

I think there is a stat is something like how willing players want to participate in attack.
