yeah but is he as good as bianchi and palmieri and bos for example? don't want to be misinterpreted as saying they are good because they have high ratings, it's just a "bizarre" conincidence that the ones i've tried (most of them, they are the same in all versions of pes for the last 4 years at least) who are actually worth playing with are over 92 rating. seeing as i would only need a max of 2 players per position that pretty much discounts using any of the others, even if that means passing over some of them who are still very good players, like fernandez.
Where's the fun in always buying and playing with the same guys? Bos is so godly, I've started getting bored of playing with him. I still buy him, though, just so the CPU can't get him! :^|
Besides, every player is different and can bring his own qualities to a team. Makes you mix up your play, too, because you really do have experiment to learn how they play and how to utilize them correctly.
Jean, for instance. He hits 90 on his peak, but starts with like 60 stamina, which is seemingly worthless. However, he's like 6'6" or 7", and has great defense, acceleration and response (especially for his size), even at 17. Train his stamina in the off-season, and he's a god at CB after a few years. There is no such thing as a loose ball with him around, not to mention his tackling is absolutely transcendental. ALWAYS in the right position.
Fernandez becomes a great, solid CB. He's not a raging dynamo like Bos, and he's not a battering ram like Bianchi, but he's quite balanced. He'll grow well into the 90s on his curve with steady playing time.
Gunther will tear attackers' souls apart for a few seasons. He can get body balance to 99 if he plays enough and/or you train it.
Prandini becomes maybe the most balanced striker in the game. At least 90s almost all the way down the line.
Duffy is a pit bull. He's tiny, but he's omnipresent on the pitch. Nobody gets stuck in as much, except maybe Bradley.
Chapi is brilliant if you can put him through. He's never going to do anything as a lone striker, but, once he turns 19 or 20, start playing the ball to his feet or for him to run on to, and he'll get goals all day.
Shimizu, otoh, needs space to operate. Play him in the hole so he can pick up balls at the top of the area, and he'll do his job. I generally don't like him out wide, though his speed makes it tempting to play him there. Make room for him to shoot or pass.
Cats like Orellano, Moulin, and Khumalo, all of whom have lousy condition stats, seem useless at first, but once they get some time to grow, they're capable of incredible feats. (If any newcomers have the moves you're talking about, it'd probably be them. Look for high technique, agility, and dribbling skills.)
However, all of this depends on how long you like to take your MLs and what your goals are. I usually play for 10+ seasons, so experimenting with different players makes life more interesting. I also get to actually experience more of them at or near their peaks than if I just played 5 seasons or so.
